Songs you despise, popular or unpopular

[notsosimpleplanofaction]

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

Pretty much anything John Lennon after he left the Beatles.

I like pretty much all the others mentioned here, though (apart from Moooooove Closer)

Black Velvet...every fucking time its on it pisses me off. No idea why.

Another vote for Imagine by John Lennon - everybody goes nuts over it but my literal brain can’t get it at all. ‘imagine there’s no countries’? Eh? Soz mate I can’t. What pretentious bollocks.

Oh and that version of ‘we could be heroes’ where she sings ‘heer-ooze’ ahhhhhhh, say it properly!!! I have run out of shops that play it, it annoys me that much.

And Lady in Fucking Red. Ugh. Kill me now. The ugliest man in the world singing the most objectifying lyrics. I hate it.

Loving You by Minnie Ripperton - hate it with a vengeance

Footloose
Walking on Sunshine
Anything by Duran Duran.

Putting my hard hat on…

I want it that way by The Crapstreet Boys

Things Can Only Get Better.

Also anything by the Rolling Stones. They give me the total ick.

Best thing about this is he also hate it! I remember watching an interview with him and he was quite honest about how he felt about certain songs.

Bohemian Fucking Rhapsody.
Seasons in the Sun
Angels (or anything by Robbie Williams, really)
Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You
Everything I Do, I Do It For You

Lady in Red infuriates me. Shallow and dumb.

oh yes Bryan Adams is also on my hate list, I had a strop at my own wedding when the DJ played Summer of 69 cos I hate his songs so much.

Rolling in the deep. Adele.

I used to love it. For some reason I now hate it. It feels oversung.
Fecking Meatloaf, makes my ears bleed from the rage

Lots and lots on this thread too.

I’m pleased to find fellow haters of Groove is in the Heart on here. It reminds me of being in the SU and everyone running to the dance floor every time it was played. And I also hate Love Shack, and the Grease Megamix. 😖

Pretty much all of these. But I will enlarge the Ed Sheeran loathing to his entire oeuvre.

Fairytale of New York.

Miserable bloody dirge.

I loathe this. I hate that it gets played at any sports event.

Songs I despise- '99 Red Balloons' by Nena. Hate it.

'China in your Hand' - T'Pau. Used to really annoy me.

I also dislike 'anything' by the Carpenters, because I don't like Karen Carpenter's voice, at all.

Driver's Licence - it's such a dirge.

Yes! Whitney Houston murdered a lovely small intimate song written by Dolly Parton about her own personal relationship breaking down and WH turned it into a big blousy honking show tune. Awful.

Going back a bit now, but Isn’t She Lovely by Stevie Wonder

Mull of Kintyre

Lots on here.

But if I hear 'waaaaaaha.... your sex is on fiiiiiyah' wailing out of a bar, my heart sinks.

@DinggirlI actually like that, my username is meant to demonstrate that I have no rhythm 😂

Love Is All Around - Wet, Wet, Wet.

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

Seconded: Mull of Kintyre. McCartney (as well as Lennon) churned out some really awful rubbish post-Beatles (although they both also did some good stuff).
