I nominate Bjork's "It's oh so quiet"
In between the yappy dog impressions and the big band music you get her spitting all over you.
Why would anyone listen to that for pleasure?

That one about being big when I was little which actually sounds like this...biiiig wan eye was littowl grrrrr ITS LITTLE NOT LITTOWL!!!!!!! Angry

"any of those winsome, wispie, pretty pretty girlies with 73 As at GCSE, parents related to the music business, all sorts of opportunities ahead, and they still sing like little girls. cf John Lewis ads Xmas 2011 and 2012 and numerous other TV ads since."*

This, I was just going to post about crapola artists with girly-whirly-watery-voices singing on the John Lewis Christmas adverts, but you put it much better than me.
I think you'll find it's 73 A* at GCSE and twenty four instruments at grade 84645 with distinctions though. Grin

Chrissy178 · 30/08/2013 16:22

Crazy Frog IMO is the worst without a doubt.

My ds has a couple of Justin Fletcher CDs that my dh plays in the car for him and that's quickly getting annoying too.

cushtie335 · 30/08/2013 16:27

Second and third everyone who mentioned Scouting for Girls. I want to smash the radio in when they come on.

Ditto "The Script", terrible cliched lyrics. You can imagine the songwriting process..."haw, lads, let's take some well know phrases or sayings and build an entire song round them, here are some suggestions..Hall of Fame/Six Degrees of Separation/If You Could See me Now (ooeer, think somebody's already used that one Danny)/Break Even.

How about, "Just Fuck Off".

Oh and I hate Deacon Blue, especially Real Gone Kid and Dignity.

Tiredemma · 30/08/2013 16:29

anything by Will. I. Am. especially that 'bang bang' one

load of shit

angelos02 · 30/08/2013 16:29

Viripru I hate all 3 songs too. Remind of wedding evening do's from back in the day.

Pawprint · 30/08/2013 16:35

Agree with nominations for Buble and for fucking Deacon Blue. Can't stand that woman whooping away on Real Gone Kid. Back in 1989, I was dragged to one of their concerts with some friends who were fans. I hated it and couldn't wait for it to end. The lead singer fancied himself. Some years later, I believe, they got booed at Glastonbury.

Also hate the Scissor Sisters.

ElleBelly · 30/08/2013 16:40

Beastie boys intergalactic is cack too.

ViviPru · 30/08/2013 16:44

I also loathe everything by Noah and the Whale and the vocalists faux Portland accent. You're from Tickenham, you Richard Head, not Oregon.

It's not a proper song, but definitely the Harlem Shake.
I don't even know how you can consider any others.

rainsofcastersugar · 30/08/2013 16:53

REM Everybody Hurts - just whiny bollocks.

RobinSparkles · 30/08/2013 16:56

That one with Will.I.am and him from The Script:

You can be the greatest, you can be the best
You can be King Kong banging on your chest.

WTF? Which genius wrote those lyrics? Confused

Thurlow · 30/08/2013 17:10

Oh, god, the Harlem Shake, it's just fucking rubbish and it wasn't even funny the first time anyone did it, let alone in any of the million rubbish copies.

The most difficult moment of the past year was when a friend proudly showed me the Harlem Shake video she had made with her colleagues for a school leavers video. I nearly thought I wouldn't be able to feign even politeness.

HalfAPeaOneCrumbAndADropOfGin · 30/08/2013 17:19

I'm not in love by 10CC for some reason irritates the hell out of me.
Wonderful Tonight -

ilovebabytv - the most annoying thing about that Frosties tune is when he sings - "I can hear the sound of Frosties hitting my PLATE" Aaah yes because we all eat cereal off a plate don't we?! Hmm

RosyfingeredDawn · 30/08/2013 17:59

Heaven is a place on earth- Belinda Carlisle
Her wailing drives me mad.
Yes to Loveshack and Red red wine.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 30/08/2013 18:10

I'm DYING here Grin

Unfortunately I have no taste in music at all and most of the above mentioned songs are actually on my iPod - maybe I was a wedding dj in a previous life.

My excuse, however, is PND and only being able to listen to poppy, uplifting shite music. I also have BWitched, 5ive and NSync on there (just wanted to write down the ridiculous names) as well as numerous Kylie, Duran Duran, Def Leppard and David Gray (all the Ds!).

I apologise profusely.

Fakebook · 30/08/2013 18:17

Eurgh...I'm shuddering as I write this:

Gay Bar by Electric Six

Most annoying bullshit ever...bleugh.

poorpaws · 30/08/2013 18:19

Grandma I love you

You gotta admit I win hands down.

KatieScarlett2833 · 30/08/2013 18:23

In the summertime - Mungo Jerry
Sexist, advocates drink driving and classist. It gives me the rage whenever I hear it.

hotritenow · 30/08/2013 18:25

Sweet Caroline, hate it with a passion...and I will always love you, the Whitney Houston version.....

melika · 30/08/2013 18:26

Birdy song.

MrsDavidBowie · 30/08/2013 18:31
