First one that comes to mind for me is Nightlife by Green Day. 😵‍💫

Come on Eileen. Everyone else seems to love it and get up to dance to it and that gives me the rage even more.

Do you believe in life after love by Cher. I don’t like her voice.

cheesepasties · 16/04/2026 19:56

@Chocaholicki too despise all the music from that era too. Like Chelsea Dagger, Ruby Ruby Ruby Rubyyyyyy, I bet that you look good on the dance floor, that shit one by Franz Ferdinand etc etc etc - all fucking terrible. Most people seem to love it so I’m glad to find a kindred spirit!

Oldie and ( IMHO ) baddie - “All Right Now” by Free.
Overplayed and overrated.

HarrietSchulenberg · 16/04/2026 19:57

Oasis, She's Electric. Conjures up images of the two of them sitting at their Mum's kitchen table, monobrows furrowed, chewing the stub of a pencil and trying desperately to think of words that rhyme.

RampantIvy · 16/04/2026 19:57

Wonderwall. So dreary.

WhatAGreatDay · 16/04/2026 19:57

The Shape of You by Ed Sheeran. Who wants someone in love with your body or just the "shape of you"? Is that supposed to be charming or romantic? Yuck 🤮

Trallers · 16/04/2026 19:57

Love shack by the B52s
You spin me right round by Dead or Alive.

Both horrendous and I will go out of my way to not head either or they'll be stuck in my head for days making me cross!

tsmainsqueeze · 16/04/2026 19:59

Cher - it's in his kiss
Robbie Williams - everything he's done !
Dancing in the moonlight.
Friends theme song.
Torn -Natalie Imbruglia
Any Texas ,any Level 42 -droning uninspiring songs and voices.
Imagine and Woman John Lennon
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time -absolutely loathe this !

Dancing in the moonlight toploader - makes me really annoyed every time I hear it

Agreed, although the original is lovely and the story behind it is very moving.

Louisetopaz21 · 16/04/2026 20:00

Anything by U2 or UB40 makes me so cross have to leave the room much to my colleagues amusements, rats in the kitchen infuriates me

TwistedWonder · 16/04/2026 20:01

Brim Full Of Asha makes my ears bleed - just awful

LilyLemonade · 16/04/2026 20:01

Cannot stand Imagine by John Lennon. I think the lyrics are absolutely moronic.

RhythmIsADisaster · 16/04/2026 19:45

Groove is in the heart. It’s definitely NOT in my heart.

I am with you on that! Sucj an irritating song and there's that bloody irritating noise in that sounds like a kid's instrument 😡

Louisetopaz21 · 16/04/2026 20:01

Also REM make me so cross

ohyesido · 16/04/2026 20:01

Unnecessaryletter · 16/04/2026 19:49

Doncha by the wonderfully empoweringly named 'Pussycat dolls'.

So horribly...unsisterly. And just generally demonic.

I was thinking about this today, it sounds like the rant of a bitter ex girlfriend over the phone at 2am after a few too many pink gins

ChurpyBurd · 16/04/2026 20:02

It's weird but I agree with every one of there, then it goes through my head and I'm like 'oh, it's alright actually'.

Except 'Groove is in the Heart' and yes, Dancing in the Moonlight' - both awful.

Sweet Caroline

Hate hate hate that song even worse now football crowds have added the so good so good bit 🙉

Chocaholick · 16/04/2026 20:03

notsosimpleplanofaction · 16/04/2026 19:53

The whole 2012 trilogy I’d say 😓
Don’t know how we went from 21st Century Breakdown to whatever the hell ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! was Confused

I think they just wanted to branch out with a new style of music but the music just sounded a bit immature and basic compared to their previous masterpieces. American Idiot was always going to be impossible to top. It was the best album of the 2000s, IMO

backslashruby · 16/04/2026 20:04

Benny And The Jets by Elton John. My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. Angie by The Rolling Stones. I don't know why I hate them but I do.

SharonWTheBest · 16/04/2026 20:04

Fairytale by Alexander Rybak irritates me so badly! As a Eurovision fan, it's so annoying having to hear it every season, and I STILL can't believe that it won!

PersephonePomegranate · 16/04/2026 20:05

Oasis, She's Electric. Conjures up images of the two of them sitting at their Mum's kitchen table, monobrows furrowed, chewing the stub of a pencil and trying desperately to think of words that rhyme.

Loved Oasis, always hated that song. Always thought they should leave quirky to Blur whenever I heard it.

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time -absolutely loathe this ! Absolutely rage inducing song! I always seem to hear it when I'm in an enormous queue or packed shop and am definitely not having a wonderful time.

Baggiesfan · 16/04/2026 20:05

Angels by Robbie Williams, absolutely hate it

Yes agree I heard my grandson say it was amazing and then they played sweet Caroline and I thought that would have pissed on it for me. Especially the gambling association. Argh .

Sarah2891 · 16/04/2026 20:05

Survivor by Destiny's Child.
