Popular music artists that you just can't stand.

[mashpatooties]

I just can't stand...Amy Winehouse.
There I said it.
When I've said this out loud in front of friends, they've behaved as though I've taken a shit in their handbag.
The voice is wonderful I agree. But:

1. Her shitty attitude
2. The addictions (yeah it's an illness 🫩)
3. Bad choices in men
4. Was she really so outstandingly wonderful that we forgive the unprofessionalism? Late to gigs, arseholed on stage etc etc

I've seen the documentaries. She was vulnerable. Her family/friends/ milkman took advantage.

What about you?

Lauryn Hill also pisses me off.

Phil Collins

Take That. Just terrible banal songs.

An old soul girl, you say?. That's my kinda music as well!

David Bowie - I can’t understand how he sold a single record.

Michael Buble - Makes me cringe

I'd say both boyfriends were famous arseholes and her addiction as most people's addictions doesn't illicit hate in me but does illicit feelings of tedium and irritation. Her lack of giving a shit about her fans and general entitlement is the cherry on the cake.
Robbie Williams is a grade A cock, agreed.

Your username is great by the way. I knew instantly which Bruno Mars song you meant because that guitar in it really does sound like a rip-off of The Police. That banal lyric you mentioned, and the stupid sound effect after his, “oh, yeah, yeahs” in the intro make that song very cringe. Woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop, woop (or whatever it’s supposed to be).

Coldplay - that song with all the little chimey tings in the background actually makes me feel nauseous everytime, but I can’t explain why???

'In My Place?' Possibly because that song sounds like a shameless ripoff of Radiohead's 'No Surprises'.

They're an absolutely stellar band and that song is from a classically brilliant album. And even though it's not the strongest track on there, it still knocks spots off Coldplay's typically lacklustre version!

Having seen Oasis in concert in the 90s, I can confirm that they are very, very mediocre.

I can't help but like Shakira - after her husband cheated on her and his mother (who lived in a garden annexe of their house) sided with him, Shakira put a massive cardboard witch on the balcony overlooking MIL's house, so it was the first thing her ex-MIL would see when she opened her curtains each day. That's an admirable act of petty revenge, in my book.

I have no doubt that Shakira is a lovely person but I cannot forgive her crimes against music

Oh no, I love Radiohead!

I’ve just looked it up and its called ‘Hymn for the weekend’ sounds like a Sunday school kids group have got hold of the triangles! 🤮

Ah, my bad! Wrong song. But that one does sound like a thoroughgoing nightmare, I agree.

Kylie minogue - the “pop princess” moniker just hides her mediocre talent.
Sophie Ellis Bexter - her mum made her famous but she’s got the most weedy voice ever!

First RIP Amy. I can't stand Lewis Capaldi. All his songs are so whiney. I cannot understand why anyone buys them.

I agree re Amy W. Her songs were catchy but she didn't come across to me as a nice person at all

Excuse me? 😵‍💫

Many, however Elbow is the first that springs to mind .

Kylie has been extremely lucky basically. She has very good stage presence & puts on a good show but she owes a lot to the likes of Madonna etc for her influence. I'm already dreading hearing her appalling 'XMAS' song in a few months. It really does go to show that people will listen to any old crap around that time of year....

When your taste in women is Gwyneth Paltrow I can just imagine his as bland and out of touch as she is remember the vagina candles she was yapping on about

If she were alive she would have faded into obscurity but she died so people put her on a pedestal instead

Bob Dylan. Wtf? It’s like the emporer’s new clothes “I like him, oh so do I”. Whining trash.
Gloria Estefan. Radio goes straight off.
Robbie Williams. No sense of self-awareness.
Kylie Minogue. Can’t sing, just been very lucky (lucky lucky)

I can't get past the fact that Robbie Williams now looks so much like Paulie Walnuts from The Sopranos.

I'm afraid Sam Fender makes me want to stick chewing gum in my own ears. His music is just so soul-destroyingly dull.

Have you listened to "Whiny Chancer" by The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican?

The Beatles, Ok, but not deserving of their god like status. I prefer Crowded House.

Ooh lots of these. You don’t hear them much these days, but Muse. Great howling racket..should sell their music with paracetamol.

Dh likes Wetleg so we’re reminded regularly about the chaise-bloody-lounge in our house 🫩
