Do it. BRING IT UPON ME!
I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who may have donated. Again you have no idea how much it means. Not gonna spam this message all day today, don't worry, but thank you to those that did... Thank you so so much. And to anyone who upvoted or commented or gave well wishes. It means the entire world to me right now.
I cannot stand Hallelujah.
Everybody uses it as an emotional song for their emotional wedding slideshow, literally why???
If you look up the meaning, you'll see the song isn't really praising the Lord or whatever these people want, it's like they just heard "Hallelujah" and ignored everything else.
So now you have the bride and groom's smiling pictures scrolling by while the dude is rambling about "She tied you to a kitchen chair, She broke your throne and she cut your hair", WTF??? How come no one ever found this awkward???
Yeah I get it, Samson and Delilah, not really a good match for a wedding!
And it's overused to shit. Whatever deep meaning this song has, I cannot stand to hear it for the umpteenth time.
Especially not the music composing ramble of the opening verse.
Shut the fuck up about the the minor fall and the major lift.
Please use literally anything else for your photo montage I beg you.
I don't know what it's actually called, but I call it "The Mexican Beeping Song". It was on the playlist at a Mexican restaurant once, and I offered the server $50 he could turn it down/ off /change the station / anything to make it stop. He looked at me with a pained expression and just said "I would do it for free if I could, I hate this too".
El Sonidito.
Ironically I love it, but I only developed my love for it by finding it through the music video and laughing my absolute tits off at the keyboard player.
Whatever the title of "This girl is on fire" is.
Pretty sure it's supposed to be empowering or something but all I hear is ThIs guRl iZ oN FiiIiiRrrrrrRrreee!!!! two hundred times in a row.
Like okay she's on fire. Got it. Get damn fire extinguisher or something and SHUT UP.
Honorary shout out to the 80℅ of songs on the radio thst are about relationships. You know there's more topics that exist? Does it ALWAYS have to be about relationships?
And Christmas songs on eternal repeat starting before Halloween. Thanks, radio. I hate Christmas songs now. Not because they suck, but because you suck gor playing them over and over FOR HALF THE YEAR.
Shoutout for hating songs about relationships! Like, yeah, a few are cool. But there are just too many. It's boring.
I shit you not, that entire song is just Alicia Keys finding different ways to say "this girl is on fire". She's just a girl and she's aflame, etc. There's nothing of substance to be found.
Photograph hy Nickleback
I feel like that one is going to be pretty commonly shared lol
I don't care what anyone thinks, I like Nickelback.
It's ok, I know how you feel.
I like U2.
Rock Star is such a good song to indulge your trashy side to.
Maybe you'll enjoy this version a bit more
What the hell is on Joey's head? Guess we'll never find out.
I prefer https://youtu.be/MxmKc0OhsnU -- deeper, shorter.
Fun fact! I was literally tortured (yes, actually for real) by Collective Soul so anytime I hear one of their two "hit" songs I get flung into PTSD flashbacks. I have to cover my ears and basically sink to the floor or immediately leave the area if that's possible.
Suffice to say I hate them.
Also I was a retail slave for over a decade and hate all Christmas music. Super mega hate.
Edit: abused by the music, not the band. Sorry I didn't mean to be misleading.
You're my butterfly, sugar, baby
I like the part in the video where he shoots stars like a Care Bear on crack.
That song has one good thing. The guitar lick. Which is stolen from Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Bonus fact, the guys name is Shifty Shellshock. I'm not kidding. He thought that's a good stage name.
For those unaware: it's "Pretty Little Ditty" written by John Frusciante and Flea.
Maybe this will help? https://youtu.be/dKvYt2M_9YE
My humps, my humps….
https://youtube.com/watch?v=VJg4rwDkkBA
This is Alanis’ slowed down version.
Okay, that might be the most dreadful thing in this entire thread
The first time I heard that song, I thought Fergie said "My lumps, my lumps". I was like is this song about cancer?
Everyone always talks about the humps and lumps, which is indeed weird. But no one ever talks about how the last verse starts "whatcha gonna do with all that BREAST" - which is just so on the nose.
Have you heard the Alanis Morissette version?
No but Jeff Tweedy did a great spoken word version
Ahahaha, omg. I had completely forgotten about her version of that song. Thank you.
I can't believe she did a full version of that song, along with a music video. Fucking killed me, lmao.
Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJg4rwDkkBA
https://youtube.com/watch?v=6KpvuUS4U8w ... no problem
That shitty version of I'm Blue that has the laziest lyrics ever written with a singer that has an obnoxious nasally voice. "I'm good, yeah I'm feeling alright, this is gonna be the best freaking night of my life" sounds like the first lyrics she came up with when she woke up that morning. That nasally "na na na na na" at the end also grinds my gears. So glad that song isn't being played on the radio anymore, I'd much rather listen to the original I'm Blue Da Ba Dee for an hour straight than listen to this version even once.
Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney. He is one of the greatest songwriters of the modern age, and my hot take is that only someone as good as him could write a song so bad.
But it should be a war crime.
Post-breakup Beatles songs revealed their entire dynamic. George Harrison immediately drops All Things Must Pass and it is three whole albums of solid gold. John Lennon cranks out a few mildly trite pop songs (including a much better Christmas song than that) before his untimely death. Ringo takes the money and basically retires to a private life of happiness and joy.
But Paul McCartney, legendary singer-songwriter, and no stranger to experimentation or collaboration, begins a long and varied follow-up career of absolute crap. I don't understand how someone so demonstrably knowledgeable and talented achieves such consistent mediocrity, but in the absence of an equally egotistical genius to tell him off (and a polite wizard to feel challenged by) he was just useless. Wings goes on for a decade and produces maybe half a dozen decent songs, one of which is this Tame Impala anomaly nobody remembers.
Is it worse than "I got my mind set on you" by George Harrison?
Yes
Dude, that video rocked
Don't know if I can pick a singular least favorite. I have entire artists I despise for their particular vocal styles.
Over-the-top wailers: Adele, Gotye
Pouty mumblers: Lana Del Ray, Billie Eilish
Billy goat bleeting: Stevie Nicks
Take your pick of their respective overplayed hits and mash them together. That's my most hated song.
Edit: forgot Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, sounds like he swallowed his tongue
I can get behind a bunch of these. I like Adele but the rest... yeah.
Green Day... every goddamn September I want to take a tire iron to every fucking radio within hearing distance.
Ooh, Green Day.
Yeahhh.. I'd say if you don't like his vocal style then all of the songs are going to be ehhh, I personally enjoy a few albums right now, since I'm a rock (generally mainstream stuff, grunge, nu-metal, some punk) enjoyer and can listen through it...
Though, I'm curious, what songs specifically did you hear it from?
The one that comes to mind is Good Riddance
This is probably going to get me attacked, but I dislike Chappell Roan for the same reason. Her songs are... alright. I'm not the target audience, but I like the style generally, I just can't get past her voice.
"We Built This City" is awful.
I have a special hate for Kenny G's horrifying abomination where he pretends to have a duet with the great Louis Armstrong. Gah
Scatman John did a WAYYYYY better virtual duet with Louis Armstrong years earlier. It's a nice catchy song about the history of Jazz and Louis' influence on the genre.
Last Christmas. Hate it so much.
Also Independence Day by Martina McBride, but my reason for hating it is silly.
Honestly the song, about a woman escaping domestic violence, is fine. But there is a line that frustrates me.
The chorus goes like this:
“Let freedom ring
Let the white doves sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay,
It’s Independence Day!”
This got used by Rush Limbaugh for his awful radio show. And that penultimate line infuriates me, because it illustrates how evangelicals do not understand their own religion, which has led to them embracing vengeance, power, and fascism. (Not that the song led them to that, it’s a symptom.)
The stone rolling away, referring to Jesus’s resurrection, is very clearly described in the Bible as the sign that sins are forgiven. That’s the whole point of the religion, that everyone is a sinner and in need of a savior. The stone rolling away means the guilty don’t pay.
But evangelicals have twisted their religion so much they think the important part is about punishing those who don’t follow their rules. It’s about worshipping power. So the stone rolling away means Jesus is about to kick some guilty ass or some nonsense.
Additionally, because irony is dead, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find domestic abusers belting that refrain at the top of their lungs, not knowing what the song is about, because of Rush fucking Limbaugh.
Last Christmas
Oh god, yes. The worst thing: I don't actually hate it. But it means it's fucking christmas season again, I'll be hearing it everywhere, I can not only hum but sing the lyrics hours after hearing it and it's so old that it will likely never die.
Let the white doves sing
Doves don't even sing
Let the right be wrong
Ironic that evangelicals used this.
years ago my sister and i had a game takin turns finding the most annoying song to force the other to listen to. i discovered this song and won, by her admission, forever
This sounds like an attempt at Jeff Mangum style vocals. It could be good… but misses the mark. I wouldn’t call it the worst though. It’s definitely has the indie vibe of other music I enjoy.
i don't like harpsichords, but i could forgive that and even enjoy the rest of the album if it weren't for her singing style. its something about the baby-talk voice, i hate it. i don't even know why i hate it, but it grates. some songs i hate and laugh, complain, joke about.
this one ill just leave the room, i cannot abide it. i got a little mad just listening to it for a moment when i linked it lol
Her lyrics are great, she should write novels or something. Shame it took me a lifetime of knowing women to understand most of the meaning.
While reading them, though, I had to listen to "Blitzkrieg Bop" on repeat, because I cannot stand her voice. -_-
Seems like she's going for the Kate Bush vibes but it doesn't sound nearly as good
Haha! Poor Joanna Newsom. Fantastic musician and songwriter, but yeah, her voice takes some getting used to. Or not.
That sure is a voice
I actually really liked it. It sounds imperfect in a lot of ways, which I love in music. It sounds like a real person singing, who maybe wasn't meant to be a singer, but who is singing anyway.
if you like it i am honestly happy to being it to you!
Oh that is my new most hated song. Wow
It's a toss-up between Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise. Fuck that guy, he sucked.
My parents loved Margaritaville, I had to hear it all the time. It suuuuucked.
God help me, the only joke I laughed at in Club Dread was a Jimmy Buffet reference. The resort has a washed-up musician who insists Jimmy stole all his material. As he storms off, he mutters "Son of a son of a removed."
Some maga crybaby trash about when Trump got shot at that rally that came up on my spotify feed. I don't the name of it or the "artist" but it's literally the thing that pushed me over the edge to drop spotify and go back to 100% pirating my music.
Before I heard that probably would have said Bohemian Rhapsody.
we will NOT have any queen disrespect in this house >:(
I have only really seen English language stuff in the comments so far. You are missing out on stuff like my person focus of hate "Ich und mein Holz" and the entire genre of Schlager.
Holzi, Holzi, Holz!
:-[
Great song!
How's the weather in Tyrol these days, Anton?
Baaaaaaaaayyybyyyyy Shar........
I can't believe this is not higher.
Easy
#Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
Absolutely hate that song. It's bad enough that it's the poster child for baby's first "emo/goth" song. Badly written, overly dramatic, cheesy cringe af.... But I hate it for more than that.
I used to do (nearly) weekly karaoke with friends at the bar. And almost every week, every goddamn week, some "quirky" scene couple on their first date thinks they'll try to be cute sing a duet together... and everytime, every goddamn time, it's "Bring me to Life". And no, they can never sing, it sounds like if gym sneakers had autism.
Hate that song. Not just me, like, everyone who frequently does karaoke hates that song. Most karaooke DJs don't even let you pick it, they know what's up and they're even more sick of hearing it. I hear that song and I get fucking PTSD flashbacks. The cringe is physically painful.
Get Lucky, Daft Punk and Pharrell
The better and more honest version is "Coast Is Clear" by Skrillex and Chance The Rapper.
Tubthumping is a fucking horrible pox on humanity.
I concede that you have a right to be publicly wrong
I definitely have been, but it’s not about this. ;)
Chumbawumba are actually badass.
They might be, but I still maintain that that song is horrible.
I don’t have the ability now, but I will take the time later today to listen to this linked song and reply to you with my thoughts. Thanks for sharing, regardless.
EDIT: Had a chance to listen to this one. Very cool! Has like a They Might Be Giants mixed with a folk tune vibe. And it’s always a good time to get in a history lesson. I liked it! This song is like the antithesis of Tubthumping. Wild it’s the same band.
Yes. I’d rather listen to whatever that mic is recording than Tubthumping.
I dunno if it's the worst song on that album, but it's the most repetitive by far.
While ironically Chumbawumba are anarchist punks who are more in line with Crass
Freebird. It goes on forever and the constant asking for it at all concerts was boring.
I like it, but I gradually quit listening to it after seeing Skynyrd use the Confederate loser flag in a concert video
Lynyrd Skynyrd used a Confederate flag from the 1970s until the 2010s, and several criticisms have been raised against them because of this.[51][52] While promoting the album on CNN on September 9, 2012, members of the band talked about its discontinued use of Confederate imagery.[53] In September 2012, the band briefly did not display the Confederate flag, which had for years been a part of their stage show, because they did not want to be associated with racists that adopted the flag. However, after protests from fans, they reversed this decision, citing it as part of their Southern American heritage and states' rights symbolism.[54] The band would later cease use of the Confederate flag starting with their 2019 tour.
Ah to have no principles
I’m not saying you’re wrong, because we all get to have opinions, but I can’t disagree with you hard enough. The “goes on forever” part is glorious jamming. I love that song.
The constant asking for it was boring, I agree.
No song drives me into an irrational fury like "The First Noel". It's slow, the melody sucks and the lyrics are the laziest drivel I have ever had the displeasure of being subjected to.
text
The first Noel the angels did say
ok, "did say" is a little clunky but you want an easy rhyme, that I can forgive
text
Was to certain poor shepherds In fields as they lay,
alright, we've established some context. The angels are talking to some shepherds.
text
In fields where they lay
Yeah we get it, they're laying in the fields
text
Keeping their sheep
yes, they're SHEPHERDS we get context
text
on a cold winter's night that wa-as so deep.
The night was SO DEEP? That's what you came up with to rhyme with sheep? A line we didn't need because we already established that they're fucking SHEPHERDS aaagh FUCK this song I'm not going to go through the whole thing but there are SEVERAL more verses and they all suck just as bad. How many hours of my childhood did I spend having to sit through this miserable drivel and it's SO SLOW every time I hear it I feel like my brain is being forced to wear a too-tight necktie.
This is a Welsh song from centuries ago. The “clunky” English is a result of this.
Yeah, but I don't want to let The First Noel entirely off the hook. Lots of english christian songs are translations and/or centuries old adaptations and/or lyrics grafted onto previously written music, and quality varies of course but for some reason, for me, this one stands out for banality.
Fireflys by Owl City. The first couple of notes of the synth is enough to send me into a blind rage.
I remember when i first heard this song it instantly became a favourite.
Some time later i was so goddamn sick of it, it was freaking everywhere you just turned the radio on or walked into any store and you knew it would already be playing.
finally I feel seen. I can't make myself listen to anything else by them because the creative choices that were made in the first ten seconds. there's just nothing there, that song is so vile. what kind of mind made this?
Ballroom Blitz.
Before I get flack from everyone, I have a specific reason. I was staying at a cabin with some friends, and some of the kids played Ballroom Blitz constantly. Every day, all day, for a week. Heard it every time I walked in. So I think you understand now.
Which version?
Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. I know a lot of people love it, but I had a coworker that played it endlessly at the office and as soon as I hear that whistling, I want to jump out of the window.
That song may be the epitome of the 'stomp clap hey' genre of peak performative hipsterdom.
I only recently saw the apparently-infamous Tiny Desk performance of it for the first time specifically because of someone describing it as the worst song of all time
Reggaeton. It's all the same song! They have played us for absolute fools
Last Christmas by Wham!
My special needs uncle got a keytar for Christmas one year when I was a small kid, and it came with that as a demo song, and so for the next seven years until that keytar mysteriously got destroyed, every single time I was over at my grandmother's house (who was his caretaker), Last Christmas was playing in the background.
I despise that song now.
Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence.
Pink Pony Club.
Dancing Queen.
Rick Astley did a cover of Pink Pony Club I like and its the only version
Dancing Queen... I will fight you
Hey, you asked. I'm just not an ABBA fan to begin with and I unfortunately have to hear that song played multiple times daily.
Pink Pony Club is a good choice for this lost, I approve!
The entire catalog of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
"Heyo-o, listen to what I say-o."
What a masterpiece!
I know AI is a pox on humanity and all, but I chuckled when someone sent me this parody a few years back.
'Sometimes I listen to radio and go what is this crap?, and every time, the answer is the Red Hot Chili Peppers.'
Disagree, though. I've heard that song in concert.
If it's just Anthony Davis that raises your hackles, John Frusciante is the guitarist who keeps leaving and returning, and Shadows Collide With People is why they keep letting him back in. It was co-written by the voices in his head.
Yeah I have a liking problem with them. Cannot change the station fast enough. Something about them is nails on chalkboard for me.
From me, I have two to lay on you.
I hate Dust in the Wind. Nothing matters because we are all just dust in the wind. Yes, fine, dude but then why bother writing the fucking song? Just to depress the rest of us?
And that song about drinkin' whiskey from the bottle never thinking bout tomarra singin Sweet Home Alabama aaaallll summer long. It's in my husband's workout playlist and despite being vaguely hooky it's just such utter slop.
(I will say though that the same playlist convinced me AC DC are not nearly as bad as I remembered. Whole Lotta Rosie is a jam, and also It's a Long Way to the Top is pretty good)
Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie. Writes a song about being an emotionally mature adult. Sings the whole song like a whiney toddler.
