Abhorrent, repetitive mess.

Anything by Ricky Gervais

Have you noticed there’s some advert using the joke song (the real) Ricky Gervais used in The Office? Like it’s a proper song! Crazy basterds.
(something to do with Freeway)(I have to unremember awful music for my own sanity)

Simply the Best by Tina Turner.

It gives me the uncontrollable rage every time I accidentally hear it.

Anything by Simply Red. I shudder just typing their name. I could never tire of punching Mick Hucknall for his repeated crimes against music.

It's amusing the number of your worst songs that go down really well when I pick up a guitar. I spent an evening in a Compostelle albergue with an international group of all ages. The ones people joined in with were the Beatles; Here comes the Sun, Norwegian Wood, Hard Day's night and When I'm 64 (bass line played on a classical guitar). Greenday; American Idiot, Basket Case, Good Riddance. Oasis; Don't Look Back in Anger (best response of the evening), Live Forever, Whatever and WONDERWALL!

Would you like me to record Wonderwall?

Anything by Meat Loaf will have me instantly reaching for the off switch (apart from his contribution to Rocky Horror).

Anything by Adele. The woman is tone deaf and can't sing. When she wants to raise the power she just shouts louder. .

Freebird. Oh and that song by Bruce Springsteen. There is only one isn't there?

Kylie and Jason - Especially For You deserves at least a dishonourable mention in this category along with Rick Astley. Songs that defined an era and sold millions of copies though so who am I to say worst (other than someone who happens to not like that sort of thing).

I bet if a Rick Astley fan went through my metal collection they'd find some nominations of their own that they felt strongly about - although they'd be wrong of course!

This has a great arrangement, it’s fairly generic, well mastered and the production is probably too smushy.. She sings it well, well enough for me to want to throw any kind of playing device out of a window..

Anything by this lot of sappy so and so’s..

I detest manufactured bands, maybe these weren’t I don’t honestly know but dear God they sure sound like a group of spotty teenagers in the school band that everyone hated. Quite how they became “popular” is beyond my simple comprehension.

And this song, holly Mother of all Evils...

Rolling Stone ranked "God Save the Queen" number 175 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time[18] and it is also one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.[19] It was Sounds magazine's Single of the Year in 1977.[20] In 1989, it was eighteenth in the list of NME writers' all-time top 150 singles.[21] Q magazine in 2002 ranked it first on its list of "The 50 Most Exciting Tunes Ever..."[22] and third on its list of "100 Songs That Changed The World" in 2003

Pistols songs are ace, almost everyone everywhere has heard them. The opening riffs get people leaping. I slipped Pretty Vacant into a set in a trendy blues bar, the boss of the club was pissed off, the audience loved it.

I thought that would get a few comments 😉

It makes me laugh that people will happily dismiss music that they don't like as rubbish. Normally music becomes "rubbish" about the point you stop being as interested and you get stuck with what you know (Oasis, indie for me).

As an example, you can say you don't like Taylor Swift but plenty of people would disagree.

Swift has received many awards and honors, including 10 Grammy Awards, 23 American Music Awards (most wins by a female artist), 23 Billboard Music Awards (the most wins by an act),[374] 12 Country Music Association Awards, 8 Academy of Country Music Awards,[375] one Brit Award, and one Emmy Award.As a songwriter, she has been honored by the Nashville Songwriters Association and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and has been listed in Rolling Stone's 2015 list of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.

Swift has sold more than 50 million albums, 150 million single downloads...

The Russians take the biscuit when it comes to seriously demented pop music.

Here’s my entry, its ludicrously NSFW so I wont embed the video.

You have been warned

That is pretty funny.

Still produces some the most inane and bland song though right?

You are right, a lot of people like what she does. I’m sure if she listened to what I play on guitar she’d think similarly of me 🤷‍♂️

Songs that give me an itch, right in the middle of my brain:

Living on a Prayer.
The Final Countdown.
Love Shack.
Wannabe.
Annnnnnnnnnd I will always love you - Whitney.
The Joe Dolce one.
Groovy Train - The Farm.

It's all just noise, but personally, these just make me I'll.

I've left out dodgy tracks by good bands, otherwise it would just be a track listing of Rattle and Hum.

Anything with auto tune in it. why the f@ck do "artists" and producers use it? it just sounds terrible, and obviously masks a lack of talent.

and as for the x factor types yodelling through the vocal register... just because you can, doesn't;t mean you should.

My special place in hell is reserved for Ed Sheeran. My daughter thinks my reaction to Galway Girl is hilarious and neither her or my wife can quite comprehend why I hate it so much.
You just have to listen to the lyrics and let it paint a picture of what this girl is like. A smoky, alcoholic who he leches over in some Oirish theme pub. The equivalent of posh students in novelty guiness hats on St. Patricks talking about how their father had an Irish beater on their grounds, lovely people and the Craic and all that.
"Dancing the ceilidh, listening to trad tunes" Is possibly one of the worst lyrics in music history.
That and driving at 90 down country lanes.

Toto - Africa

One the few songs that induces a station change!
