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!

If you like it, you gotta put a ting on it (I think that’s what it’s called) by Beyoncé. Hate it!!

Lady in red - Chris de Burgh
so many 1980s songs did not age well

To be fair,it wasnt that great when it came.out. However while he was warbling we also had Peter Gabriel in the charts with Sledgehammer and Madonna with Papa dont preach, so it wasnt all bad!

‘Not ting but ring’

Imagine by John Lennon.

A multi-millionaire playing his grand piano in the drawing room of his mansion with his Rolls-Royce parked outside singing ‘imagine no possessions’. You first, mate.

Sanctimonious, hypocritical prick.

Any Whitney Houston or similarly warbling type songs.

If we are allowed to stray into classical music I really loathe The Lark Ascending and have no idea why it's so popular.
