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!

Oh god i cant stand the cello bird from clean bandit

Tell me about it dolly. See the cringey dancing and smug Nigel Kennedy expression? Makes me want to punch a wall Grin

YES Nectarines!!

Been flicking through this thread thinking 'yeah, some of these are pretty awful but NOTHING will ever be as bad as that fucking Desree song'.

"I don't want to see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast..."

How is that not the worst song ever?!

Pluto30 · 31/12/2016 22:03

Raspberry Beret by Prince makes my skin crawl.

And I hate anything by The Police, and most songs by The Beatles with the exception of a couple.

paddypants13 · 31/12/2016 22:05

500 miles by The Proclaimers. Please walk 500 miles in the opposite direction to me.

Pleasure at the fairground -Simply Red.

Happy -Pharell Williams

I will always love you - Whitney

Anything by Dido aka the whinging woman.

Unicorn1981 · 31/12/2016 22:05

I Would Walk 500 Miles by The Proclaimers. I really can't stand it but I usually end up singing along to it if I can't get away from it!

ArtichokeHeartsAppleCarts · 31/12/2016 22:09

Living in a box, dreadful song

Reality16 · 31/12/2016 22:09

Unbreak my heart. Toni Braxton.

yawn.

normastits5 · 31/12/2016 22:11

Mud singing it'll be lonely this Christmas. Thanks you miserable bunch of fake teds, you can stop bringing us all down now. Fuck off now

champagneplanet · 31/12/2016 22:14

Come on Eileen

Boogers · 31/12/2016 22:17

Little Drummer Boy. Purely because of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

dawnmist · 31/12/2016 22:17

My Sherona, the most boring repetitive crap ever written.
love Abba songs, Winner takes it all, brilliant. The song writing of Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus was genius.

Reality16 · 31/12/2016 22:24

Oh, and literally anything that David Gray 'sang'

fluffywuffydoda · 31/12/2016 22:24

Truly madly deeply by Savage Garden, total shite always hated that song and anything by them, I've never understood their appeal

holidaysaregreat · 31/12/2016 22:29

Loveshack B52s
Dancing Queen Abba
Get on up James Brown
20th Century Boy TRex

Santamajormummy000 · 31/12/2016 22:47

Anything by Duran Duran but particularly Wild Boys. SLB murders his vocal cords with every note and I can't get the image out of my mind of him (chubby and scantily clad à la Mad Max) being repeatedly dunked...

Glad to see the dislike of Simply Red on this thread. I posted something similar about a year ago and got roasted!

itsnotterrysitsmine · 31/12/2016 22:49

Brimful of asha - can't fucking stand it, sets my teeth on edge
Perfect day - this was playing when I lost my virginity & have never been able to hear it since without cringing or blushing

elodie2000 · 31/12/2016 23:09

Anything by Bjork.
I can't stand her 'style'& I hate everything about her music.
Madonna also has the same effect on me.

elodie2000 · 31/12/2016 23:13

Wasn't a fan of Michael Jackson either. The crotch tugging and squeals gave me the creeps.Hmm

spongebob5 · 31/12/2016 23:19

This thread has reminded me of some songs I've forgotten but loved :) however totally agree that Adele needs to stop whining & move on even if it does pay the bills simply red are shite, Oasis were good at the time but now I just think they're crap . I've had too much vodka to think of others I hate now but just wanted to say to the poster who hates David Gray , why? 🙁

dustarr73 · 31/12/2016 23:25

Life is Life,can't remember who sings it ( and I use that term loosely)
Dido,whingey flat as a pancake singer

Where do you go to my lovely and Honey "I miss you" .God awful songs

woodhill · 31/12/2016 23:26

Stop the Calvary always summed up the Great War to me. I know he mentioned Churchill.

Not keen on that dirgy 80s mid American sound like .Bon
Jovi - Living on a Prayer

Fruitbat1980 · 31/12/2016 23:47

Natalie Imbruglia - torn.
Makes me want to punch things.

purpleporpoise · 31/12/2016 23:51

Walking in Memphis
Anything by Cliff Richard, Duffy, Robbie, Chris Isaacs

All hiphop...I know, massive generalisation but I hate it

LyndaLaHughes · 31/12/2016 23:56

Agree with so many of these.
But have to disagree about Fairytale of New York! It's a brilliant song. There's a reason why it's the most popular Christmas song.

For me it's anything by Enya- the awful music was matched by the horrendous videos. Hideous. She was so prolific for a while as well. Torture.

Reality16 · 01/01/2017 00:06

just wanted to say to the poster who hates David Gray , why? mostly because he is burning, has no depth and his voice really grates on me.
