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!

YY to anything by Duffy (that nasal voice gives me the rage) and either Beddingfield (esp the stalker-y one by Daniel) plus that was a great call by whoever said Charlene " I've never been to me". To which I would like to add that utter shitefest that is "Where do you go to my lovely" and possibly the most annoying earworm of all time, namely Achey-Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus.

I hate Imagine but i hated John Lennon he was a whingebag who lay in his bed stoned acted like he was the second coming meh

reader77 · 31/12/2016 17:07

That seven years old song. Argh!

Shyposter · 31/12/2016 17:08

The Power of Love - Jennifer Rush
Everything I do - Bryan Adams
Lady in Red - Chris de Burgh

I'm sure there's another one but I must have blocked it out of my mind!

MrsMattBomer · 31/12/2016 17:08

What's the stance on Queen? I know they're dad music but I love them. So many good songs! "It's a Kind of Magic" is my go-to song to sing when I want the kids to get out of my sight Grin

Oh Lord yes! That 7 years old song is just bloody awful. It makes me want to rip my ears off.

Almost anything by the Beatles (never got them)
Most Christmas songs, except Walking in the Air.

New York, New York. I'm not as impressed as she clearly wants me to be.

WhataMistakeaToMakea · 31/12/2016 17:16

It's hard to whittle it down!
Nothing compares to you
Anything by Mel C (hideous voice)
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Anything you'd hear on Sunday love songs including Steve Wright himself

NancyDonahue · 31/12/2016 17:17

Most of the 80's power ballads were dross. Plus, most of them spark memories of snogging sweaty boys who tasted of wotsits and coke at the school disco Blush. Lady in Red, Careless Whisper, Crazy for You.

MrsMattBomer · 31/12/2016 17:18

Oh LivinLaVidaLoki sorry to hear about your mum! I have a similar attachment to I'm Too Sexy because it was the only song that cheered my grandma when she was dying. Flowers

Although I can't let your hatred of ABBA go unchallenged!

TheNaze73 · 31/12/2016 17:20

Any slow dirge from Adele

NancyDonahue · 31/12/2016 17:20

All I Wanna do is Make Love to You is annoying. How was she so sure she'd get up the duff in one go? How did she explain the pregnancy to her infertile hubby? No Condom? Shock.. this was the 80's when we thought we could die from AID's from a sneeze.

MrsMattBomer · 31/12/2016 17:22

"We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off (To Have a Good Time)" - don't know about you but I find it hard getting it on with DP when I'm in a onesie...

SaagMasala · 31/12/2016 17:22

Mine in no particular order

Bridge over Troubled Water - reminds me too much of my exH

Amazing Grace - too often sung like a dirge

Happy - Pharrel Williams. just meh.

anything by Justin Bieber

To be honest I'd probably hate most things sung by anyone under about 30 because they aren't taught how to sing properly and take breaths in the middle of phrases and they usually have nasty thin whiny voices that don't project and sound utter shite without some fancy sound effects being added when its amplified

MrsMattBomer · 31/12/2016 17:30

SaagMasala

You really won't like Ariana Grande then. I can't put my finger on what it is but something just sounds wrong about her voice:

Anything by Ellie Goulding. Angry

"Hello " by Lionel Richie.
Where do I even start with the creepy video ?
He's a teacher. He's stalking his student. She's blind. Then he phones her up in the middle of the night and after a terrifying pause murmurs " Hello " down the line.
It's not romantic its horrifying !

The80sweregreat · 31/12/2016 17:41

Hello is creepy when you put it like that! Poor blind girl!

Madshiplollipop · 31/12/2016 17:43

Soft rock. Anything soft rock.

MrsMattBomer · 31/12/2016 17:44

The best thing about "Hello" is that her bust of him looks nothing like Lionel! Grin

I watched something a while ago that was basically ripping the 'Hello' video to shreds. It was very funny. I'll try and find it.
