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!

Everything mentioned so far, and I will add anything by Sia. Her voice actually hurts my ears!

Wet Leg, that bloody Chaise Longe song. I have to turn the radio off if it come on.

Conversely, I love Sixpence None the Richer.

Man I feel lika a Woman - Shania Twain. Kills any trace of a party atmosphere for me.
Rock D. J. - Robbie Williams. Same reason really. 😅

Oh yes, Sia's voice makes my ears bleed. 😖

I struggle with wail-ey women singers so Adele, Florence and the Machine, Kate Bush, bloody Mariah etc.

That Gotye song. Mostly it's the very wide mouth in the video that puts me off.

Most ABBA.

Zov · 09/11/2025 17:57

Oh and ANYthing by Jess Glynne. Fucking horrible voice!

Coffeeishot · 09/11/2025 17:58

I don't like The Beatles/paul McCartney/ john lennon so any of their songs grate on me

I don’t believe you. You’re making it up

In Glasgow it’s ‘f*k the Pope’ or ‘f*k the Queen’ during the ‘bah bah bah’ bit depending on the what football team you support.

Having said this, I don't think I've ever seen the video before. I've just looked it up and I see what you mean about the annoying pixie girl!

Got my bingo card ready for the Taylor Swift bashing. Wink

Well you can cross it off cos I don't like her music with the exception of a The Fate of Ophelia.

No not making it up- most people are horrified when I express my loathing for the song! Hate it hate it hate it!

Oh no. The joke hasn’t landed.

in Scotland people usually sing that instead of “so good, so good”

Perfect Day, Lou Reed - makes me feel quite angry

Wonderful World, Louis Armstrong - puke

61here · 09/11/2025 18:02

Gosh I must be an odd one here. I love 90% of what's been mentioned!! But I do hate with a passion anything by Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston or Celine Dion. I can't do with wailing women (including Tina Turner!)

petermaddog · 09/11/2025 18:03

many that are listed are covers not even the orginals
most 'pop' since 1979

GrumpySparkler · 09/11/2025 18:04
