Lyrically, musically or any other reason.

I can't stand Spandau Ballet's "True" - there I've said it. I'm out and proud.

"Why do I find it so hard to write the next line?" - perhaps because it's a fucking shite song Tony and it makes no sense at all!

Paula you know you're at a shit New Years Eve party when that song gets played. It is a huge pile of musical shite!

alltoomuchrightnow · 02/01/2017 13:40

Sorry, Niaus. But I really do hate Teardrops too!

SusanneLinder · 02/01/2017 13:42

Anything by the Beatles, Elvis or Simon and Garfunkel

DoctorTwo · 02/01/2017 14:02

Macarthur Park

Richard Harris 'singing' this song is one of my favourites ever. And I'd deffo leave a cake out in the rain...

CharlieSierra · 02/01/2017 14:10

My irrational rage inducing song is the first time ever I saw your face by Roberta Flack, then the power of love by Jennifer Rush. More recently I find Meghan Trainor pretty detestable.

Have I said "B*Witched - C'est La Vie" yet? Well if I have, it's so bad it needs to be said twice.

A pop song about casual sexual abuse with a video that had about £3.80 spent on it that also contains a riverdance scene for some reason.

Cassius - Foals
Pure and Simple - Hear'say

Both make me want to smash windows

e1y1 · 02/01/2017 15:22

Probably quite a few, the ones that come to mind

Toploader - Dancing in the moonlight

Pharell Williams - Happy; it wasn't too bad at first, but it was played to DEATH!

Also severely gone off anything by Robbie Williams now, and not 100% sure why.

Many, many more.....

Oh god yes, Hear'say. I'd just about wiped them from my memory! They were really piss poor weren't they? And now we're left with multi-millionaire Myleene Klass telling us about how to be a mum as if she was the first woman to ever give birth.

Oh god that dear future husband song and the other one ..my name is no? Wtf does that even mean!
Yes Meghan trainor ..horrid

I can't bear, When a Man Loves a Woman. Also hate with a passion, Fairy Tale of New York, although I heard it played at a Christmas concert as an instrumental piece this year and as a piece of music it's ok.

MrsMattBomer · 02/01/2017 16:21

"That Don't Impress Me Much" is awful, especially as I like Shania Twain.

Why isn't she impressed by someone being a rocket scientist?

(Although I do love the casual dance beat)

Walking On Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves - absolutely cannot bear its trite, smug, over-excited cheerfulness like a bad 'positive thinking' Facebook meme.

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham! - Everything about it makes me want to commit murder. Lyrics, tune, tempo, everything. This feels like sacrilege after poor old George's untimely death, but I really hate it, sorry (whereas Wham Rap is brilliant).

Alright by Supergrass - horrible overplayed BritShitPop at its worst, sung in that horrible whiny nasal generic Britpop voice. It was a massive hit when I was a student and hugely overplayed so that might account for my irrational loathing of it.

I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker by Sandi Thom - yeah, well in that case Sandi, stop churning out wimpy wistful shit like this and actually do something original.

polyhymnia · 02/01/2017 16:45

Angels
My Way
Blurred Lines

polyhymnia · 02/01/2017 16:45

And Lady in Red.

DonaldStott · 02/01/2017 17:09

Adele - the one where she shouts about someone looking like a movie. Cannot fucking bear it. When it was getting played to death, I had to physically leave the room/office/shop etc. Shouty, miserable, warbling bag of horrible shite.

dustarr73 · 02/01/2017 17:33

This song i hate it with a vengence,it does my head in.

Elledouble · 02/01/2017 17:35

Alright by Supergrass (in fact, pretty much anything by Supergrass apart from Caught by the Fuzz). Apparently it's deliberately cheesy but I don't know what the point is.

Ob-la-di Ob-la-da. I LOATHE it. Especially the 'hilarious' joke at the end (you know, when they reverse the roles so it's Desmond putting on his pretty face and singing in the band)

Life by Des'ree. Who wrote it? Why was it so successful? Did they ever work again or were they cast out of the music business forever?

dustarr73 · 02/01/2017 17:56

Life was written by Des'ree Weekes, Prince Sampson and it was nominated for a Brit Award in 1995.

How was it ever nominated and how did them lyrics take 2 people to write.

dustarr73 · 02/01/2017 18:25

And how could we have forgotten this gem

maddiemookins16mum · 02/01/2017 18:33

Mmmn, anything by The Beatles probably. How anyone born in the late 60's/early 70's can hate True by Spandau is beyond me. It was "our song" . Even though DP banned it from our wedding because (when once drunk, told him it was my song from another).

dawnmist · 02/01/2017 19:03

There's got to be something by the Beatles surely Maddie?

I love the Beatles Smile

Catra · 02/01/2017 19:29

Barbie Girl - Aqua
You're my first, my last, my everything - Barry White
I'm in the mood for dancing - The Nolans
Why Does it Always Rain on Me - Travis

I can't stand Abba, but love a great deal of pop music, so don't agree with that.
