OK so my husband completely disagrees with me on this. I cry at pretty much everything, he doesn't.
He gets teary at this song... To me it's like nails down a blackboard... The song..
Imagine by John lennon
I can't explain it but I hate it with a passion, it makes cringe
Am I the only one like my husband says or do others get the same feeling....what other songs have that effect on people???

Shine bright like a diamond and Titanium.

BlessMeDarkFather · 30/03/2020 16:19

Justin Timberlake...can't stop the feeling
5th harmony.....worth it
Demi Lovato.....solo

Jar of hearts- Christina Perry
Can’t fucking stand it!

I love that song!

I don’t know who sings it or what song it is but whatever that fucking song is from whatever that fucking advert is trying to sell: we only come out at night Angry

Walking on sunshine 😣

Dahlietta · 30/03/2020 16:34

I absolutely fucking hate Shiny Happy People.

Absolutepowercorrupts · 30/03/2020 16:37

Hey Jude is load of shite.

MrsSnitchnose · 30/03/2020 16:37

Pretty much anything after the 90s tbh

MrsSnitchnose · 30/03/2020 16:42

Except my beloved Il Divo of course Grin

MrsSteveMcDonald · 30/03/2020 16:52

Imagine annoys me by not being Don't Look Back in Anger. I fucking hate that abusive wanker Lennon.

Ifonly86 · 30/03/2020 16:56

Sean Paul get busy - annoys the hell out of me
Daniel beddingfield gotta get through this - his voice really grates on me I still can’t listen to it
Anything sung by Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams or Ed sheeran

PetitsGateaux · 30/03/2020 16:59

‘Hey Soul Sister’, for the inanity that is ‘My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest’, amongst other lines 🙄

ShirleyPhallus · 30/03/2020 17:11

This whole thread reads like someone’s wedding playlist

Full of songs making me want to get off the dance floor

I’ll add “gangnam style” for the reason that some uncle usually has his tie off and dancing around to it at this point

Sloth66 · 30/03/2020 17:11

Imagine - agree I loathe this.

Also Billy Ray Cyrus - Achey Breaky Heart

cavabiensepasser · 30/03/2020 17:33

URGH Titanium is fucking DREADFUL.

How, just HOW, do such awful songs become hits?

Oh, and that godawful, beyond irritating, 'Roar' song by the equally godawful Katy Perry. I just can't stand her voice. Reminds me of Jess Glynn's, actually. They both sound... gritty? Like there's a hint of a rasp, but only a hint, like they're coming down with a cold, plus Jess has this odd breathy undertone to her voice as well.

Love Shack by the B52's - can't stand it!!

june2007 · 30/03/2020 17:38

Thankyou for the music by Abba. (normally love Abba)
Word up.
I like titanium but is it just me that thinks I"I am metanium" every time they put the nappy dream on.

Likethebattle · 30/03/2020 17:41

Anything by queen or Oasis. I have no idea why Oasis became so popular when they were god awful.

Robbie Williams infuriates me as he absolutely loves himself. He always does that thing at gigs where he hold the microphone to the audience to hear them sing....no no no I paid £80+booking fee to see you (not that I’d ever go to his gigs) so do your job!

Lucianation · 30/03/2020 17:43

Anything by the band Sports Team. The singer is unbearably annoying. In fact you don’t even have to listen to them to hate them, just read this.

GhostofGeishaPast · 30/03/2020 18:24

Bloody Celine Dion and Her Heart Will Go On.

Happycamper78 · 30/03/2020 18:31

Karma- chameleon by Boy George and Red Red Wine both have me desperate for the off button. So whiny

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 30/03/2020 18:40

I can’t stand Imagine either it’s so often played when someone is trying to appear a deep thinker or thoughtful they just come over, as well unimaginative 😁 and I love The Beatles and much of John Lennon songs.

Dreams -Gabrielle ffs what is she singing so dull dreary the song makes me angry

Rule the World - Take That elevator music

Chestnut23 · 30/03/2020 18:45

House of the Rising Sun!

Miggymoggymugwumps · 30/03/2020 18:49

Brimful of Asha... absolutely dire!!!

Killerqueen2244 · 30/03/2020 18:56

Most of these songs mentioned so far are annoying but I haven’t heard them enough to get the rage, except maybe Angels.

Brimful of Asha, Mad World and Everyday People are the 3 songs that I have to turn off if they come on- they give me an eye twitch because listening to them all the way through would make my head explode in pure anger!

Very unpopular opinion but also..........

Mr Brightside Angry

Top loader- dancing in the moonlight

I just find it so cheesy and fake happy.
