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

We sing Jar of Farts

Actually that improves the song no end.

God, there's a god awful dirge by James Blunt that seems to be constantly played on the Chris Evans breakfast show...dire. Supposed to be oh so moving and I just find it excruciatingly awful and tuneless.

Oh and anything else by James Blunt. (Sorry James. You're funny on Twitter)

RuffleCrow · 20/11/2019 18:32

Is it me or are a lot of these songs sung by the same man? And the pretty boys are just fronts?

maidenover · 20/11/2019 18:38

Oh yes this is a big bear of mine too, especially love songs, Ed Sheeran I’m looking at you, if she’s so fucking perfect could you not sound even a little bit happy about it instead of just moany.

maidenover · 20/11/2019 18:39

Oh and I never got the love for REM either totally whinge bags!!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 20/11/2019 18:42

@merryhouse I love lady in red Blush

stupidmestupidme · 20/11/2019 21:35

I agree @theluckiest !!!
Love James Blunt the person, but his songs...
the only time i like them is when Uncle Bryn sings along to 'Goodbye my Lover' & '3 wise men' in the car on Gavin & Stacey Grin

End of the Road by Boyz 2 Men or whatever, the shitty passive aggressive whiney talking part.

Tartyflette · 21/11/2019 02:19

Dido - Thank You.
'My tea's gone cold, I wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad...'
Yes. Yes it is. Music to slit your wrists to

Chasing cunting Cars

Aarrrggghhhh just heard one of the whingey whiney singers (think it was Tom Walker, but had to switch off!) absolutely MURDER Real Love by the Beatles Confused
Honestly how do people bear it?

This week Chris Evans suggested that Tom Walker, Lewis Capaldi & the other one should tour together- couldn't think of anything WORSE!!!!!

Jeff Buckley's soppy rendition of Lilac Wine is a pile of shit. Elkie Brooks does it with meaning and vigour !

Most Coldplay songs. Paradise is good though.

Wichita Lineman and By The Time I Get To Phoenix are both sublime classics. Do not diss😕.

stupidmestupidme · 08/12/2019 10:09

Take me to Church has just come on radio... 😡😡😡 Another one I can't bear

Came on to say Lewis Capaldi. And Pink, who used to be OK but just whines too much now.

ivfbabymomma1 · 08/12/2019 10:37

I actually love lewis Capaldi!! 🙈🙈

Betterbegoing · 08/12/2019 10:42

Anything by Lewis Capaldi, Adele, Coldplay, Ed shitting Sheeran... there’s a lot around at the minute.

And that AWFUL song by the script... is this the last time... fucking hope so.

loserssaywhat · 08/12/2019 12:27

Adele, Ed sheeran ..both make me instantly turn the radio off.
Funnily enough my ex went through a James blunt faze when he was having his affair!
It must be a thing.
Also Ellie Goulding and than breathy, whispery voice..highly irritating indeed.

sassafras123 · 08/12/2019 13:43

Why the overplay on radio of so many whiney songs. Louis Capaldi, Adele and Freya Ridings about 20 times a day ! Aaargh ! And no D.J,Louis does not have THE most amazing voice !

rockingthelook · 08/12/2019 14:56

Sam Smith, mother of God he is the king of the whinge and whine song book, however his up beat stuff I like
James Arthur, no, no no, ...and needs a good wash
Tom Odell, the one with the piano?, someone put him (and us) out of our misery

Wichita Lineman, total classic, op, have a word with yourself?

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 08/12/2019 15:08

I once heard someone describe Dido as doing music to microwave lasagne to and I've always thought it was very apt.

Nonstopbuttmachine · 08/12/2019 15:27

Don't get me started on that bloody Selena Gomez song Angry Angry

Funnyface1 · 08/12/2019 16:58

I can't stand Ariana Grande. Everything seems to be whined through her nose and there aren't any clear words, it's all like a painful moan. "One last time" is my example, I couldn't name anything else she's done but her voice is unmistakable. In a bad way.

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 08/12/2019 17:06

Can't stand Take Me To Church - he thinks he's being so meaningful...

Anything by the Smashing Pumpkins, regardless of what kind of song it is. Billy Corgan has the most dreadful nasal whine of a voice.

beepbeeprichie · 08/12/2019 17:10

I have a special loathing for the voice of Sam Smith. The fact that he’s covered Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas feels like a personal insult.
