I quite often have a song that will make me change radio channel when it comes on

This month it's Music for a Sushi Restaurant by Harry Styles, I don't know what it is about the song but my left hand just snakes out and punches a different pre-set on the car radio whenever I hear it. All of his other songs have been ok-ish up to now.

Last month it was Afraid to Feel by LF Systems.

Quite often it's an Ed Sheeran song, I really like some of his (usually the ones that are claimed to have been stolen from someone else, strange that) and really can't tolerate some of his others.

What are your 'can't listen' songs?

Never Met a Girl Like You Before by Edwin Collins

Loveshack by The B-52's

At the min it's the new Ed Sheeran and Pink songs

For me it's adverts, especially the Vodaphone advert. There's something about that woman's voice that I find incredibly irritating.

Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) by Beyoncé. What a cacophony.

None of these are that bad, there is only one song that should be consigned to room 101 and that is..... Come on EileenEnvy

Hated at the time hate it now.

Don't Stop Me Now. I love Queen but I fucking hate this song, it's been overplayed to death. "Toniiiiight..." Nope. Fuck off!

ChickNorris · 19/11/2022 09:02

Unholy. Grates on me.

Weepingwillows12 · 19/11/2022 09:10

Any songs with people making sex noises. There's a Fleetwood Mac one that really annoys me.

GoodnightJude1 · 19/11/2022 09:12

Sweet Caroline.

That song makes me feel sick.

RampantIvy · 19/11/2022 09:17

Christmas songs. The same old songs that get played every year. Christmas for me starts the week before Christmas and not before.

Just heard that awful Rihanna song, if it wasn't that I was in the next room and too lazy to get up I would have turned the radio off.

Paul McCartney's Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Tim

My favourite Christmas song ever Wink

Lovegossip · 19/11/2022 10:34

Anything by Adele, Ed Sheeran and probably a whole bunch of others mostly created in the last 10-15 years

Luckily I usually listen to Greatest hits so all the best music, occasionally I switch over to smooth or magic

I’ll happily zone out of most songs I don’t particularly like but there’s a song by Usher that has a phone ringing all the way through and I just can’t stand it! Like ffs, answer the phone! Aargh I hate it.

Omg yes, that song was constantly on the radio when I was studying in france, over and over again. The most boring repetitive sing ever.

Totey · 19/11/2022 23:09

Black Velvet can fuck off too

BobbyBobbyBobby · 20/11/2022 00:06

I’ve just remembered these two

China in your hand - T’Pau

Cerys Mathews/Catatonia

Disneyblueeyes · 20/11/2022 00:15

That slow one Katy Perry did which sounds like a cat in distress. She really didn't sound good.

SlashBeef · 20/11/2022 00:17

Anything by Pink. That god awful Sonique song that's always on Heart radio. Most Queen stuff. Jess Glynne. new Rihanna song is an abomination.

I've got pretty eclectic music tastes and having absolutely zero musical talent makes me reluctant to really criticise any musicians but …

I CANNOT STAND Shakespeares Sister What's Going On. OMG I'm doomed, I've bloody got it in my head now 😡
