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!

Des'ree - "kissing you" arrrrggggh!
"True"
Jennifer Rush - "the power of love"

JaneJeffer · 31/12/2016 17:57

But MrsMB that is how she sees him Smile

I hate that Pina Colada song, where the couple are writing to each other and don't realise, HATE IT!

Pretty sick of Sia now.

Another dancing in the moonlight !

Another come on Eileen !

I've never liked songs with a twist ending since Brotherhood of Man won Eurovision with theirs! Also, isn't the Pina Colada song just Babooshka but written from the man's perspective instead of the woman's?

There's some dreadful crap playing at work where the person who is supposedly a singer (can't tell if its male or female, just dreadful!) appears to be unable to finish off their words and warbles something about 'beauty and the beeeee that makes my life compleeeee' Ghastly.

Any Beiber, most Adele, Sam Smith, James Blount, Beyonce, any rap and I have especial hatred for that Kanye West/Rhianna thing that was out last year. I hate both of them, too.

MrsMattBomer · 31/12/2016 18:16

It's Justin Bieber. Beauty and a Beat it's called, or so DS1 tells me.

At least you haven't had to sit through an entire concert of him - I did! Thank god there was booze available!

myusernamewastaken · 31/12/2016 18:21

I just cant get you out of my head....kylie....utter tripe...i cant bear it.

alltoomuchrightnow · 31/12/2016 18:24

Cheap Frills - normally like Sia but hate this, heard it too much

Anything Status Quo /Dire Straits/ James Blunt -
Romeo & Juliet is probably the worst

FlowerOfTheValley · 31/12/2016 18:26

The Cheeky Girls I think it was called Touch my Bum or similar. Even as a novelty song it was absolutely fucking cringeworthy.

JaneJeffer · 31/12/2016 18:28

You're right it is like Babooshka.

I also hate Lucky Stars by Dean Friedman. Thankfully it's not played too much. I have to switch it off.

My choices make me sound ancient so I'm going to say any Ellie Goulding too!

Silverdream · 31/12/2016 18:31

Ferry across the Mersey . Makes my fillings hurt

Davros · 31/12/2016 18:32

Imagine - agreed, John Lennon was a mardy twat
Proud Mary, god I hate that

yeOldeTrout · 31/12/2016 18:33

I am pretty tolerant, glad to say, being you guys must suck.

However... I will run to turn the radio over if Dancing in Streets by Bowie & Jagger comes on. It's so patently awful, I never understood how that got so much airtime.

noeffingidea · 31/12/2016 18:37

Cant remember to forget you , by Shakhira and Rhianna is my biggest pet hate.
Hate loads of old songs as well, but it's probably best to leave them in the distant dismal dark ages (aka the 70's. Only joking, thats my favourite decade for music).
Also hate most christmas songs. Only the Pogues with Kirsty and Bing and Bowie are excused.

Allice · 31/12/2016 18:37

Dancing in the Moonlight by shitloader, I hate it with a passion.

Had the misfortune to hear Nightclubbing by David Essex recently, my son has sang it constantly since and it's fucking terrible.

Janey50 · 31/12/2016 18:40

Anything acoustic with a breathy singer (usually female) and twangy,creaky guitar accompaniment.

noeffingidea · 31/12/2016 18:46

Allice had to check out nightclubbing by David Essex on youtube. For one surreal moment I thought he had covered Iggy Pop. Phew it's a completely different song. You're right it is shite though.

LarrytheCucumber · 31/12/2016 18:49

Feed the World.

YolandiFuckinVisser · 31/12/2016 18:50

Shake Up Christmas. I don't know who wrote/performed it but they should be drowned in a vat of coca cola. I had to listen to DD practising it for weeks before I had to endure the school choir singing it in morose tones at the carol service. Then I had to grind my teeth while DD and her friends warbled their way through it at the after school club carol concert. A couple of days later I was forced to admire a group of teenagers dancing to it at the Christmas dance showcase. It's fucking awful!

Sweet Home Alambama enrages me, The Joker irritates me to an unreasonable degree and I have to turn the radio off if Good Grief comes on but none of them has the power to piss me off like Shake Up Fucking Christmas.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 31/12/2016 18:55

Ooooh I love feed the world ! Makes me all emosh

I like hate all that Keisha songs which makes me feel guilt after all the rape sony dr Luke malarkey

JaneJeffer · 31/12/2016 19:06

Yes you sound very tolerant Trout Hmm

I hate Africa by Toto so my DC love to play it to annoy me, and have all sorts of remixes of it.

Cliffdiver · 31/12/2016 19:08

It makes me want to spit Grin

I can't actually think of a song I hate!

Sparrowlegs248 · 31/12/2016 19:11

Work - Rihanna. Ffs. Work work work work work blah blah blah blah blah and so on.

Sparrowlegs248 · 31/12/2016 19:12

Oh and there's one by Ellie Goulding where she really struggles to pronounce simple words.... I can't think of it
