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

Lifted by the Lighthouse family. Makes me feel nauseous.

Oh God and the very worst of all Abracadabra by the Steve Miller Band.

Abra abracadabra, I wanna reach out and grab ya" it also contains the line "black panties with an angel's face" I may have just done a sick in my mouth typing those words.

Centrefold by the J Geils Band, just yuck.

It’s nowhere near as bad as the war crime that is that other one by the Steve miller band, The Joker. The protagonist of that song sounds like the absolute WORST, the sort who’d turn up barefoot to a party with his ukelele, smoke all your weed and steal your girlfriend then make out he’s the victim.

I also hate Love Shack with a burning passion, pretty much everything by Ed Sheeran, and I agree on the indie slop like the Kooks etc. The Holloways were even worse! Also You Wear It Well by Rod Stewart. A little old fashioned but that’s alright is it? Thanks you patronising cock.

The Killers one that says "I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier." Nonsense lyrics. It might as well be "I can chew, but I'm not a tutor."

And Imagine (John Lennon). For 100 reasons.

I am glad I am not the only one who detests Imagine by John Lennon!

Brimful of Asha and Hey Jude because they seemed to be the only 2 songs on the jukebox...or maybe just the landlords favourites, in the pub outside my hall of residence room and so were played loudly and on repeat. Can't stand to hear either of them.

DuchessofStaffordshire · 16/04/2026 22:31

Stand by your man. Even when they're a lying, cheating, narcissistic scumbag. It's not their fault after all.They're just a man.

Jorvik1978 · 16/04/2026 22:31

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

Now they're one of my favourite bands, but this one is overplayed, oversentimental bilge. Crack the Shutters is a much more joyful laying-in-bed number.

Pudmyboy · 16/04/2026 22:32

Bryan Adams 'run to you' , you slimy bastard, got a partner who loves you but you haven't the guts to end it so you shag your bit on the side saying 'wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know'. Utter bastard writing a song celebrating cheating 😡

Hotafternoon · 16/04/2026 22:32

Lucky stars by Dean friedman.

If you truly want a song to be sick to, this is it
🤢

Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall.

Yes!

Down Under - Men At Work
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits
Let’s Dance - David Bowie

All bored the fuck out of me.

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

Agreed! Cannot stand the grinning fool.

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 16/04/2026 22:34

Anything that has whistling in it drives me mad.

bblondemoment · 16/04/2026 22:35

Chain reaction- Diana Ross 🤮

RomeoOscarXrayXray · 16/04/2026 22:39

Parklife. Blur (I think). CanNOT stand that song. Makes me feel the rage and ill.

Careerchanger090908980i9ooo · 16/04/2026 22:40

Gypsey Woman - la da deee la dooo darr. Shut up!

Hohofortherobbers · 16/04/2026 22:41

Anything by Madness. Can't stand baggy trousers , our house.

bblondemoment · 16/04/2026 22:50

Omg how could I forgot the one that makes me want to abandon my car when it comes on the radio - last train to London , the bad mood that song puts me in

Couldn't agree y. I have to switch the radio off if it comes on.

Openthecurtainsforgsake · 16/04/2026 22:50

Movin On Up - M People. Everything about that song makes me want to flee. The repetitive strings, her angry, grating voice (cannot bear her voice) the faux brave lyrics. Hate it.

Angles by Robbie Williams - mawkish shite

Adele whinging and whining for England

We Built This City - just bilge

Come on Eileen - No. Now fuck off.

Openthecurtainsforgsake · 16/04/2026 22:51

Arcs and straight lines also by Robbie Williams. Meant Angels 🙄

SerendipityCat · 16/04/2026 20:11

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

Everything I do - number one for eleventy billion years when I was 15

We Are Young by Supergrass. The music video annoyed me even more than the song.

I HATE that song, don’t mind other supergrass but have to turn over the radio station if that comes on.

chubb4 · 16/04/2026 22:56

Come on Eileen is fucking terrible.
Also that one that goes ‘I like the way you mooove.’
