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!

I don't think I've heard Mr Brightside for about a decade. Where do you keep hearing it?
Pubs, weddings, parties, also house music before a gig starts.

Must be regional, and also subjective. I don't hear it at the pub, or at any party, or before any gig.

Hypocritical nonsense, and a dirge too

I hate, knights in White satin, it is supposed to be a classic but it makes me shudder.

My friend has a pathological hatred of Wagon Wheel which is played a lot on the live pub music scene. He looks like he could cry every time it starts.

Beat me to this one!

also kiss me by I think six pence none the richer or something. Hate that. Also Bitch by Meredith something

Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer really annoys me too. I hate the video too. You can tell the girl singing it really loves herself, and thinks she's really cute. Make me wanna vom! 😆

Stupid name for a band too.

Star by Simply Read, I worked in a bar when it was out and it was constantly playing on the juke box.

Anything by Coldplay, Whitney grating makes me want to hurt myself to make it stop.

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
I cannot stand the music, the lyrics, or her screechy voice!

I really dislike anything by Queen, although I do quite enjoy the five cover of we will rock you

For some reason I always imagine it being sung by the creepy but obliging Milk Tray man in one of those 1980s ads.

Bohemian fucking Rhapsody

WaneyEdge · 09/11/2025 17:49

Anything by Mariah Carey.
Anything by The Beatles (why do they play ‘Hey Jude’ at the start of football matches?).
Anything by Oasis
Elouise by The Dammed and whoever else covered it.
I have no opinion on Taylor Swift, apart from I quite like ‘Anti Hero’.

I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas. Bloody awful. “Tonight’s gonna be a good good night” - most boring lyrics, makes me cringe and makes it sound like the night is going to be shit. 😂 I banned it from being played at my wedding.
