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!

hoopdeloop. I agree with I will Aways Love You. I love Whitney but if that song comes on the radio I have to change channels. It's just too warbley for my ears.

Whole of the moon
Young at heart

NancyDonahue · 31/12/2016 16:18

Cher, Believe. I don't know where to start with that one.

Gingernaut · 31/12/2016 16:19

I Will Always Love You - The Dolly Parton original is an altogether quieter, sadder affair.

Gingernaut · 31/12/2016 16:20

Cher - Walking to Memphis. Marc Cohn's original is beautiful.

AmIthatbloodycold · 31/12/2016 16:22

Anything by Leona Lewis but particularly that keep breathing love shite

MrsRaymondReddington · 31/12/2016 16:24

Another vote for 'Young at heart'

Also, Simply Red's 'Fairground' makes me want to cut my ears off!

spankhurst · 31/12/2016 16:25

Anaconda by Nicky Minaj. Bloody hell it's dire.
It's Got to beeeeeeeeee Perfect.

TheDogsMother · 31/12/2016 16:25

Imagine by John Lennon - a terrible dirge. Anything at all by Abba, I can't bear them

celeste84 · 31/12/2016 16:25

To be honest i don't think much decent music has been released since 2007. The last ten years has been shocking. I miss the indie and electro scene of the 90's and early 00's.

Crap songs in particular i hate anything by Westlife and Madonna. Oh and U2.

Flumplet · 31/12/2016 16:26

Anything by TEXAS or Charlene spiteri. Boring drivel. Ditto Keane.

LockedOutOfMN · 31/12/2016 16:28

Paul McCartney songs

Bob Marley

The Pogues' Christmas song

ShowMePotatoSalad · 31/12/2016 16:28

category12 - OMG yes, Run to You by Bryan Adams. I absolutely loved that song and then I actually listened to the lyrics.

"Oh but her love is cold, it wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, cos when it gets to much, i need to feel your touch, i wanna run to you"...

...bloody cheating arsewipe!

Sunnymeg · 31/12/2016 16:35

I win! The truly awful
'Save your love ' by Rene and Renate, which was on the BBC reruns of 1982 Top of the Pop's

QuitMoaning · 31/12/2016 16:36

I am confused. Why is this in AIBU? Surely it is chat?

I think I must have misunderstood the different categories.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 31/12/2016 16:41

I can't believe that I'm only the second person to say Imagine. Trite shite.

Love Shack B52's Envy

NancyDonahue · 31/12/2016 16:42

Michael Bolton, Can I Touch You There, has the grossest lyrics ever. And he has silly hair.

HandsomeDevil · 31/12/2016 16:45

I Drove All Night.

"Woke you from your sleep, to make love to you
Is that alright?"

Fuck no, Roy, it really isn't.

BreatheDeep · 31/12/2016 16:47

Beautiful - James Blunt
Anything by Daniel or Natasha Beddingfield
Anything by Little Mix
That James Arthur one that was number 1 recently
Anything by Jess Glynn
Anything by Bieber

Um.... Probably loads more!

switswoo81 · 31/12/2016 16:48

Lonestar: Amazed
Bryan Adams Robin Hood song: unrealistic dirge

Joolsy · 31/12/2016 16:50

I used to like Madonna in the 80s but since then she has produced some absolute shite, like Music, Erotica, Justify My Love, Beautiful Stranger etc

Same with Rihanna - when she's good she's fantastic but she is also capable of producing songs that would make a puppy weep, like What's My Name, Work, Take a Bow, Rude Boy etc

I also hate Breakfast at Tiffany's and Two Princes - thankfully they were one hit wonders and the bands never came back to assault the charts

dementedma · 31/12/2016 16:52

Imagine,by John Lennon.
Have to turn the radio off!

MrsMattBomer · 31/12/2016 16:57

I'm pretty sure this might be the worst song ever written:

I think it was everywhere for about 6 weeks that year so that's probably why I dislike it!
