Whingey whiney songs...

I'm having to vent on here as I am SICK of hearing whingey, whiney songs on the radio!!! Every time I switch on, I hear either:

'Better half of me' by Tom Walker
'Bruises' by Lewis Capaldi (in fact ANY of his songs)
That new song by Coldplay
Another droning song by a whingey bloke whose name I've forgotten!!!

They just drone & whinge AngryAngry
I'm literally switching off my radio as these songs/singers give me the rage. I want to hear upbeat, happy songs!!!

Anyone else with me? Any whingey, whiney songs that enrage you? Grin

Anything by Sam Smith Angry

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 20/11/2019 14:44

REM Everybody Hurts.

Have a hot gath and a chocolate orange and get the fuck over it.

Oh god - I'd forgotten about Sam Smith. He's got a song out too (an inferior cover of 'I feel love'). That'll be another one to make me switch off!!!

@wizzywizzed you beat me to it! Sam smith is the whingyest whinger of them all - he gives the rage! It's all so insipid!!!

My ex played a load of whingey whiney songs ( as noticed by dd) when he was in the throes of his sordid affair
Unfortunately we didn’t know about his extra curricular activities
Obviously they were his girlfriends choice
He was welcome to them

Lady in Red (I'm old)

Made all the more annoying because he has some really good songs, both before and after that one. The whiny got more pronounced though.

RedSheep73 · 20/11/2019 16:02

Grin I can't stand either. But my all time worst is Wichita Lineman. Drone, drone, drone

Patroclus · 20/11/2019 16:06

Its an epidemic, along with the faux north euro pronounciation crap and BillieEyelashsFakeDepressionfFace.

FrogsLegs33 · 20/11/2019 16:07

James. Fucking. Arthur.

That’s all I have to say 🤣👌

ginghamstarfish · 20/11/2019 16:08

Not well up on contemporary music but I had to say - anything by Morrisey.

MepsiPax · 20/11/2019 16:11

Practically everything I hear on the radio/being played in shops lately seems to be whingeing and whiney. It seems to be a trend for anything that has come out in the last 5 years or so.

MadamShazam · 20/11/2019 16:21

Everything by fucking Adele. I get the rage every time one of her songs comes on the radio.

pelirocco123 · 20/11/2019 16:28

I agree with the poster who said Adele ,

sockittome123 · 20/11/2019 16:31

Anything on Heart radio Grin

Squiff70 · 20/11/2019 16:33

Sam Smith (especially Somebody you Loved). Howwwwwwl!

Squiff70 · 20/11/2019 16:34

Sorry, meant Lewis Capaldi's Somebody You Loved, not Sam Smith!

MrsSpenserGregson · 20/11/2019 16:36

Yes @ginghamstarfish

Also that bloody "Run Away" song by the blasted Corrs. Urgh.

iklboo · 20/11/2019 16:39

Any breathy slowed down bastard sodding cover version of normally decent songs.

Puffinhead · 20/11/2019 16:40

@TheLightSideOfTheMoon, with you on that one. Also couldn’t stand ‘Shiny, happy people’ either.

WaningGibbous · 20/11/2019 16:59

Tom Odell. Get over it man, she's just not into you.

midsomermurderess · 20/11/2019 17:09

All by My Self. Holy God, it's horrific.

Miggymoggymugwumps · 20/11/2019 17:15

Lewis Capaldi songs are dire....all that shouting & wailing makes me reach for the off button!!!

jellycatspyjamas · 20/11/2019 17:31

Oh god, Jar of Hearts by I don’t know who cos I keep turning it off.

iklboo · 20/11/2019 17:32

Oh god, Jar of Hearts by I don’t know who cos I keep turning it off.

We sing Jar of Farts Grin

stupidmestupidme · 20/11/2019 17:55

@Miggymoggymugwumps thanks for being a fellow Lewis Capaldi song hater (don't mind him - he seems like a nice guy!). So glad I'm not alone in not being able to stand his singing voice!!!!
