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!

Mariah Carey, 'all I want for Christmas is you' terrible!

thefourgp · 31/12/2016 19:18

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me - pussycat dolls. If ever there was a song released by a bunch of women showing total contempt for other women this was it.

SunsetBeetch · 31/12/2016 19:33

That Jona Lewie song is my most hated Christmas song.

Anything by Robbie Williams.

Anything I do...

I will always love you (Whitney version)

Recent horrors: that James Arthur one, 'Once I was seven years old' by I don't care and 'Rockaby baby, rockabyyyyyyee' by who cares?

millefeuille1 · 31/12/2016 19:36

I have an irrational and long term hatred of China in your Hands by T'Pau. It's like nails down a blackboard for me.

DrCoconut · 31/12/2016 20:08

Anything by Katie Melua, Cerys Mathews or Kate Bush. Can't stand any of their wailing/heavy breathing racket making.

MrsMattBomer · 31/12/2016 20:14

I was so disappointed when Kate Bush came out as a Tory. Mind you, a 17 year old singing about Wuthering Heights probably should've told me that years ago.

Come on Eileen and the Kirsty / Pogues Christmas that's relentlessly played bloody everywhere. Grrr.

Nectarines · 31/12/2016 20:38

I'm like a bird
Nelly furtardo

Can't stand it

Or that awful deseree song about the toast and the evening news

BonnieF · 31/12/2016 20:46

Anything by bloody Adele.

She sounds like a heifer having difficulties calving, and she's still droning on about the bloody boyfriend who (entirely understandably) dumped her a decade ago.

Shut up and move on, love. We're sick of hearing about him, and we're sick of listening to you.

ReadingIsFundamental · 31/12/2016 20:59

Walking in Memphis - by anyone. It makes me want to stab myself in the ear.
I also hate Dancing in the Moonlight. And any female singer with too high a pitch (some folk singer whosever name I can't remember springs to kind) , or male with too low (Gregory Porter, is that his name? I have to turn the radio over when he comes on)

But the absolute worst song that has ever been released is that idiotic one about asking the father if he can marry his daughter, father says no so singer is going to marry her anyway. Firstly, why ask? She's not her father's property. Secondly, how big a prick does the singer have to be if the dad says no? (If dad is a prick then see question 1) Thirdly, why fecking ask if you're going to marry her anyway. And fourthly, why the hell doesn't the woman you supposedly love have any say in this whole debacle.
Oh, I needed to vent there, that song angers me so much!

Ramonaramona73 · 31/12/2016 21:02

Ditto to Texas
Wonderwall
Blurred lines
James: oh sit down
Anything by shania train

SarcasmMode · 31/12/2016 21:30

Perfect Day

Cotton Eye Joe

Most of Madonnas songs - aimed at being empowering to women but being anything but.

user1471545174 · 31/12/2016 21:32

Tonight's gonna be a good night.

Tonight's gonna be a good good night.

It's not, fuck off.

Claireshh · 31/12/2016 21:40

Anything by Bruno Mars. I think he is evil. This is based on a hunch nothing more.

MrsMattBomer · 31/12/2016 21:44

I'm adding anything by Sinead O'Connor to this list purely because I remember my mum saying "Now there's a woman who's never sat washing her curtains" and it's stuck with me! Grin

I love Bruno.

I can't stand any Cher songs. She couldn't see for toffee.

Krampus · 31/12/2016 21:47

Spandau Ballet both True and Gold. While I'm on the 80s:
Rio by Duran Duran.
Holding Back the Years by Simply Red

Krampus · 31/12/2016 21:48

Bruno Mars is evil, they're all Satanic nursery rhymes.

DollyDora · 31/12/2016 21:50

Anything by Adele. That Jump around song no idea who sings it and Reef-Place your hands.

OhMrBadger · 31/12/2016 21:51

Anything by The M People
That Prefab Sprout song about Alberque and hotdogs. Or something.
Anything by Simply Red. Gives me the heebeejeebies.

AgentCooper · 31/12/2016 21:53

Agree completely with the poster who said Hold My Hand by Jess Glynne. That song sounds like it was written for no other purpose than to advertise tampons or Vagisil or something.

Rockabye by Clean Bandit. Aside from all the fucking fannying about and trying to look 'street' while holding a cello, I listened to the words the other day and was like 'what the fuck do you kids with triple barrelled names know about poverty stricken single mothers stripping to feed their babies?!' I was watching the video and there's a lassie pole dancing in an old man pub - in what universe does that happen?

Sorry, have thought way too long and hard about this.

PeteAndManu · 31/12/2016 21:54

The Girl from Ipanema.

If DH wants to annoy me he starts singing this. I hate it.

DollyDora · 31/12/2016 21:55

Oh god i cant stand the cello bird from clean bandit

blackcherries · 31/12/2016 21:58

*Tonight's gonna be a good night.
Tonight's gonna be a good good night.

It's not, fuck off.*

Yes. this.

My pet hates:
Life is a rollercoaster
Let me entertain you
Dancing in the moonlight
James Blunt
You only get what you give - the New Radicals
Simply Red - especially "Ain't that a lot of love" (actually made my skin crawl just typing that)

MudCity · 31/12/2016 21:58

Another one for hating Katie Melua.

Awful.
