Lewis Capaldi - he’s absolutely miserable!

Oh gosh, yes he ruins every song. Seems like a nice bloke though!

Did anyone read that OP said pre 1960

The OP was saying they turn off music pre-1960, I don't think it was say we could only pick music pre-1960

my most hated record is that godawful song with the lyrics about seeing a ghost and having a piece of toast.

what planet was the lyricist on, that they'd have a song released with that crap.

Controversial but B52’s Love shack. It’s an annoying over played song that’s supposed to be everybody happy “living their best life” bullshit. I hate it so much.

It's not that controversial. Definitely massively overplayed (but they must love the royalties!)

notatinydancer · 19/06/2026 20:53

I gotta feeling. Black Eyed Peas

SirChenjins · 19/06/2026 20:55

Skyfall, Someone Like You & Hello by Adele

NooNakedJacuzziness · 19/06/2026 21:02

Another day in paradise - Phil Collins
Message in a bottle - Police

HonestGoldAnt · 19/06/2026 21:02

Sound of Silence by Disturbed.

I have a literal physical reaction to that song, I hate it so much.

I'm tolerant of a lot of music I dont particularly like and can generally sit through songs or artists I'm not a fan of (years of being in an office with the repetitive dirge of Heart or Capital radio).... but my god, if that Disturbed song comes on (semi regularly on Absolute Radio), I have to turn it off

Blarn · 19/06/2026 21:04

Anything by Ash, especially Girl From Mars. I also get very annoyed by Northern soul.

Jinxyjo · 19/06/2026 21:07

Love shack

Claire by Gilbert O’Sullivan.

its husband’s ‘best friend’ and ‘work wife’s’ name and I fucking hate it, there was a time, before I told him to stfu, that it was his favourite word judging by the amount of times he used it 😡.

midlifeattheoasis · 19/06/2026 21:11

Any Ed Sheeran song. The man is so bland, it’s painful

Bananalanacake · 19/06/2026 21:13

Kate Bush and her awful caterwauling, it goes, see see ya see see ya, then a load of wailing. I said this before on a thread and someone said is it Wuthering Heights?, yeah, could be but I'm not listening to it.

MaidOfSteel · 19/06/2026 21:15

Survivor by Destiny’s Child. There are no words to describe how much I loathe that awful dirge of a song.

freshstartdreamer · 19/06/2026 21:16

Walking on Broken Glass - Annie Lennox

It was played at ex-DP’s funeral and I now feel sick when I hear it.
