For me it is Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence.

I love S and G version, even though I'm a metal head. I love Disturbed even though Dave Draiman can be a bit of a tool and ha e seen them live about 8 times but this cover is just over produced and overplayed. I think it got them a temporary new following of middle aged women! (No shade at middle aged women, I am one myself, well middle aged plus).but the people I saw at the gigs after this song was realeased weren't Disturbed fans!

Dancing Queen

Anything by Adele- but it's her voice, rather than the songs, to be fair.

At least 75% of songs by the Beatles.

I don't have an opinion either way about her, but the usual swiftie bashing, followed by the essays on why she is absolutely amazing and doesn't just write about love always make me laugh.

Sweet Caroline- bloody hate it “Sogood, so good, so good” Nope!

Beekman · 09/11/2025 16:43

‘Common People” by Pulp. Hijacked by the middle classes.

Devilsmommy · 09/11/2025 16:45

Any wanky acoustic cover of a metal song. Stop ruining the song! 😡

randoname · 09/11/2025 16:45

Three little birds- don’t worry be happy. Every bloody socialist/ community event has it and it makes my toes curl.
I don’t like the Beatles either. I think you had to be there to love them and I (just ) wasn’t. Otherwise there’s very very little I can’t find something to enjoy in practically anything.

flapjackfairy · 09/11/2025 16:46

come on Eileen.
Bloody hate it and awful lyrics.

notacooldad · 09/11/2025 17:03

Every reply far just about has a song /artist on my most hated list.

Celine Dion - my Heart will go on
Whitney Houston - I will always love you

Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody. The most ridiculously overplayed, overpraised and overrated single in the history of popular music.

SomewhereInMyHeart · 09/11/2025 17:13

Yes by McAlmont and Butler (but everyone on Mumsnet loves it!)
Walking on Sunshine KATW
Have a Nice Day by Stereophonics (Although I love everything else they do)

This, but I'd go as far as to say anything by Queen

LetMeGoogleThat · 09/11/2025 17:17

Dancing in the moonlight by Toploader, urg! ! have to turn the radio off if it comes on.

Jolene!!!

GreenSmithing · 09/11/2025 17:20

Yeah, Wonderwall. I didn't get it first time around and it's not improved with 30 years distance

RampantIvy · 09/11/2025 17:21

A third vote for the dreary Wonderwall.
