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.
The fact that this was posted 7 hours ago and nobody has said "All I want for Christmas is you" by Mariah Carey warrants an entire episode of Unexplained Mysteries imo.
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.

Maybe you'll enjoy this version a bit more
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.
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.
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.
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.

“Happy Birthday” sung by a defeated waitstaff for the 10th time on their shift.
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
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.
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
"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.
Radio Gaga by Queen.
I imagine being forced to listen to anything on a loop for an entire week would have the same effect. (worked on a cruise ship that was in the final stages of construction and to test the PA system, they played that song. On loop. For an entire 7 days.)
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 right be wrong
Ironic that evangelicals used this.
Let the white doves sing
Doves don't even sing
Happy by Pharrell. Nearly drove a nail through both my eardrums back in 2014. People still eat their shit over this dumbass song.
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
I hate All I Want For Christmas Is You and Last Christmas specifically
🎶 Last Christmas, you gave me your heart, and the very next day you took it away 🎶
In just 60 short days it's going to be on loop at every public space.
that maria carey song.
if you don't know which one I'm talking about... we got about a month and half before you'll be reminded literally everywhere yooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuouououououuouoouououououououououoououououoOOOOOOOuuuUUUUUUooooUoUOUOUOUOOUUOUUOUOUOUOUO go.
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.
1-877-KaRs4KiDz K A R S kars 4 kids
Thunder by Imagine Dragons
Fuck. That. Song.
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."
That fucking Dance Monkey shit can fuck all the way off.
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?
Get Lucky, Daft Punk and Pharrell
The better and more honest version is "Coast Is Clear" by Skrillex and Chance The Rapper.
Starship - We Built this City
Christmas music. Specifically the very short playlist of Christmas music that's typically played in stores around the holidays. Especially if it's being played out of season (ie not on December 24th or December 25th).
Tubthumping is a fucking horrible pox on humanity.
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.
While ironically Chumbawumba are anarchist punks who are more in line with Crass
I dunno if it's the worst song on that album, but it's the most repetitive by far.
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.
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.
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?
All-Star by Smash Mouth
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?
EASY
Dance Monkey - Tones and I
Fuck that song. I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT
Baby shark
all i want for christmas is youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuu-uuuuuu
My Humps by the Black Eyes Peas.
It's one thing for a song to be bad, and this one was, but there was a period of what felt like months when I had to hear this at least twice a day because it would always be on the radio when I was on the coach to and from college.
Awful, awful, song.
Reggaeton. It's all the same song! They have played us for absolute fools
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
Last fucking Christmas
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.
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.
Surprised at the lack of Maroon 5 or Imagine Dragons in here. Fucking milquetoast "rock". Sugar and Thunder immediately come to mind as two songs I'd rather didn't exist.
cbat is the worst "song" or collection of noises ever produced.
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)
Pretty much any Christmas themed song so especially shit like Mariah Carey's and last Christmas and pretty much all Christmas carols.
Papa roach. Last resort.
Come on, Barbie, let's go party...
Under my umberella ... Ella, Ella, eh.
Wagon Wheel as sung by Darius Rucker.
I didn’t know the name or the singer until I googled it just now. TIL! It’s a bob Dylan song sung by the Hootie and the Blowfish guy!
It sounds like the embodiment of cornhole and light beer white rednecks. For that reason alone I hate it and leave when it comes on.
Just listened to the Old Crow Medicine Show version, it is tolerable. It is twangy but has much less of that godawful pop country machismo sound.
Holla Back Girl by the former lead singer of a band that was actually 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.
That fucking oh no song
Anything ANYTHING by George Thorogood. I'm Bad to the Bone. ARE YOU? Who are you trying to convince by repeating it so often?
when i hear "bad to the bone" i imagine it's a blitzed and stuttering george trying to get one last drink from the bartender in "one bourbon one scotch one beer"
This is now canon in my head.
Repetition is the surest way to ruin any song.
Similarly offense: "Big Yellow Taxi." Write another lyric!
Radioactive.
It had a novel, ear-grabbing sound at the time, but got overplayed to the point where it now just grates on my nerves.
Also: most American wedding reception traditions like The Electric Slide and The Chicken Dance. Do better. I once went to a reception where everyone did The Time Warp and it was amazing.
Happy by Pharell Williams.
Idk it just does something to me. I absolutely can't stand it. It's like nails on a chalkboard. No song comes even close to how much I hate that song
The Boys Are Back in Town.
Pompeii - Bastille was played twice an hour on the radio at my first job for a full year and I get physically upset every time I hwar it now
All popular xmas music. Every fucking one of them. I despise xmas music.
Some good mentions already, but one train(wreck) is still missing: Meghan Trainor . Please take a bass, put it in your mouth, and shut up goddammit!
I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick
Words cannot explain how much I fucking despise this song. It's the same fucking line for almost 4 minutes over and over and over again, I'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard crushed and bass boosted while suffering extreme tinnitus for the rest of my life than have to listen to that song again.
For me, it's "Jessie's Girl". The things we learn about this girl are: She has eyes, she has a body, at some times she talks cute with Jessie, she loves Jessie. Then the question, "Where can I find a woman like that?"
The contrast between the exceedingly generic description, and the exasperation (as if no other girl would suffice) annoys me every time I hear the lyrics. This is then multiplied by the fact that the song is catchy.
I dont “hate it” but off all the pink floyd tracks there is a single one i just can’t listen to.
Its “Bike” from the Piper at the Gates of dawn.
Take in mind that every other song in this same albums are part of my absolute favorite pieces of music. I love Syd Barrett era of pink Floyd, own many ancient bootlegs, alternative recordings, Syds solo albums and the entire “have you gotten it yet” set which was not easy to find
In general syd barrett is something you need to learn to appreciate, and i do, all of it, with bike being the exception that proves the rule.
I'm pretty sure he did that on purpose just to drive you mad.
It worked, in some ways i am as mad as the piper was himself.
Also i feel honored now.
i just listened to that track and it is aggressively hostile to ears
It sounds like a sarcastic cover of something the early Beatles threw away.
Any song that rhymes a word with itself
Sweet Home Alabama
Fucking Grey's Anatomy "how to save a life" such a goddamn stupid song and a goddamn stupid show about crazy white women fucking ghosts in storage closets.
Rich men north of Richmond is frustratingly annoying and bad
Now, if you want that kind of music, but done well, then check out Jesse Welles.
Anyway, here’s Wonderwall…
Basically anything by imagine dragons
Mustang Sally, or really any song that just repeats the same basic five second of lyrics and noises over and over and over again for five fucking minutes. That’s not a proper song structure, it’s just sonic torture.
I don't try to find out whatever atrocious pop country song I've accidentally or unwillingly heard is called, so I don't know and don't want to know.
Pretty Fly for a White Guy- The Offspring
awful. cringe all over.
"Y U gotta be so RuuuUUUde?"
Such stupid lyrics, and it was played EVERYWHERE for some reason.
Oh I've been waiting for this. I have two, by the same band The Chainsmokers. "Don't let me down" and "Something just like this". Two song I absolutely despise, because I utterly love the first verses of both, and after these two moments of incredible music the song just turns to something that doesn't connect with me at all. All of the energy that's build up is released with this dance-poppy beat that just.. doesn't... work.... at all. And I utterly hate them because of this. There is so much potential there and yet it's all wasted. It's gotten to the point that I've been thinking about trying to remix the songs to fix this, but don't think I have enough musical skill.
Nothing is more despicable than wasted potential, and these songs are dripping with it.
A polish song named We Slavs. but You don't hear that anymore since it's from a decade ago. The second worst song, which You regularly hear is Limp Bizkits version of Behind Blue Eyes.
I absolutely loathe No Scrubs by TLC.
Royals by Lorde.
It just sounds corporate and generic.
And yes, a lot of songs sound corporate and generic, but Royals sounds like the most distilled version of them.
Anything that sounds like triplet-autotune rap.
Shania Twain - "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!"
I just hate it because my sister played it on her stereo in her room quite loud non-stop for about 4 years 😅
You all have very limited Scopes for the things you despise.
My nomination is achey breaky heart.
I feel like that was played every third song on the radio for like four solid months and it drove me mildly insane.
A lot of the stuff you guys are putting out there is pretty tame. I'm just saying.
"love shack". fucking. shut. up.
Crash Into Me by Dave Mathews Band
The birthday song, we had so many options and chose poorly
Waiting on the World to Change by John Mayer. It does not derserve the awards it recieved. Probably my least favorite even woth me being a retail worker for several holiday seasons.
Literally anything by imagine dragons, I hate them so much
Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
The vocals are just so grating.
Number 9, it stains an otherwise perfect Beatles album.
The bolero is so underwhelming but still so prised.
Ravel's Bolero? There is a lot more rhythmic and harmonic complexity and variation than is readily apparent to most listeners. I had to (somewhat) learn to play it myself before I could appreciate it.
For me it's basically the same thing over and over, just soloed by every instrument. Not judging, I just personally thinks it's quite meh.
Plus it produced a gimmicky album pressing where the groove spiraled the wrong way.
I have to strongly disagree on this one for some reason. I think it's a great hook, and then builds and surprises.
I am like a bird by Nelly Furtado, followed closely by Sweet Caroline.
Baby shark
Id like to say Baby Shark, but I probably can't.
Very Niche but anything and anyone on Placenta Recordings and their horrible atonal noise bullshit. Specifically the Dental Work stuff.
That one kid rock that uses the riff from werewolves of London.
dance monkey
Anything by Train
Beverly hills by Weezer. I got a ton of shit in high school because I didn't like Weezer and this fucking song was everywhere. Fuck this song and fuck Weezer
Adieu de Jérémy Frérot.
j'ai dû l'écouter souvent parce qu'elle passait trop souvent à la radio là où je travaillais. Et maintenant j'ai développé une haine pour elle. Il chante bizarre, la mélodie est catchy mais mauvaise...
Despacito
Would Air Supply’s catalogue as a whole be too easy of an answer?
Hey, I'm immune. My kids force so much horrible shit on me and who am I to let them feel the full superiority of my musical critique.
Nah, you wish. I just desperately try to find something, just one small genuinely good thing in each track of slop. And some just don't ever make the cut.
Travis, Coldplay, stuff that's intentionally dull and sad and proud of it.
I personally want nothing to do with a girl in a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong jacket.
Bwow, badadaDa, danananaa...
Tom's diner by Suzanne Vega. Fuuuuuuuuck that song!!!
Was playing pool with my wife at a local establishment when some kind of autotune country song played (I think it was via a TouchTunes jukebox). So whatever the fuck that was 💩
Feliz Navidad, which is again stuck in my head, so fuck you.
Benny and the Jets. My wife loves that song, but that techno scratch or whatever at the end is like a baudrate modem keying up a chalkboard scratch from the deepest, tormenting pits of hell.
Trace Adkins - Honky Tonk Badonkadonk
It played on the radio of my high school bus basically everyday and my stupid redneck bus driver blared the radio so I couldn't drown it out with my own music easily.
Anything by Kings of Leon, but especially Sex on fire
However, in the right circumstances, it makes for amazing strip dancing music.
They lost their way but their first album slaps.
I’ll just leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv7vr6oE3U8
I just hate the guys voice. Sounds like he's whining the whole time.
"mas o memos bien" by "El Mató a un Policía Motorizado". It's in Spanish, but the songs tells everyone (gf, friends, mother, even a stranger) that everything will be fine and not to worry and that goes " dad, I need money to make everything fine". Like wtf. Don't go around promising solutions and then ask someone else to fix all your shit
Cage the elephant , no rest for the wicked.
Pearl Jam, Last kiss
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know
Foreplay / longtime by Boston. The intro is the coolest thing little kid me ever heard and I will never forgive Boston for the lame meandering bullshit that is the rest of that song
The Christmas Shoes.
My least favorite song is one from the 90s that I don't know the name of and will never learn the name of. It was awful though.
My second least favorite song is Alanis Morisette's entire catalog. I liked it once, but then I heard her cover of My Humps and a switch flipped.
Speaking of awful covers, do yourself a favor and listen to Madonna's cover of American Pie. It's the worst thing you'll hear possibly ever.
I'm an albatraoz
The music is slop, but the words are just aggravating and seem to have had little though put into them.
Anything by Olivia Rodrigo. I’ve never heard a more bland music lol.
Hey Jude.
Antidote by Travis Scott.
I don't hate a lot of songs. And there are worse songs out there that are simply atonal or discordant but that's not really notable. Either they're just objectively bad, or I'm not the target audience and so I don't get it, and that's fine.
But this song, I get it. What little of it there is to get, anyway. And it's awful.
Where are Ü now. That flute thing is like nails on a chalkboard.
Look what you just made me do or whatever it's called
Come On Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners, barf
Wagon Wheel
Maybe about 10-15 years ago, there was this song by a group called One Eskimo that a local radio station did its duty in trying to force it to be a hit by gushing over it, and playing it all the damn time. It was a duet, but the male and female singers recorded their parts at ever. so. slightly. different. tempos.
Gah! Absolutely caused me physical discomfort listening to it. Like, wanting to jump out of my skin. Luckily, the effort to force the song up the charts failed (probably because it's awful), and I've never heard it since. Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" is bad for the same reason, but the tempo of the vocal track is so far off from the tempo of the backing band that it doesn't cause that effect.
"Toxic" by Britney Spears and "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran both make me irrationally angry.
Chappelle Roan's Subway (?); it's on the radio at the moment constantly in my office and it honestly just sounds like wailing for like three minutes. It pierces straight through my noise-cancelling earbuds, and is just genuinely very annoying. Unfortunately, her last one, Pink Pony Club, had a similar effect. I think the pitch and power of her voice is impressive but it's just the right level to be annoying. No hate to her as an artist, it's not like that, it's just those two songs make me want to vomit.
It's a toss up
Place your hands by Reef
Or
Are you gonna be my girl by Jet
Both are a load of old bollocks
I once left a club for good when they played Love Shack and Rock Lobster back to back. I tolerated the first one, but when they played the second straight away I just stood up and walked out, vowing to never return.
Cold Heart by Dua Lipa and Elton John, they have literally ruined Rocket Man!
That's Hilarious by Charlie Puth
Not a song that would typically fall in my lap; when I heard it in passing, it engaged me beyond reason.
Even thinking about it has got me in a fit of blind rage.
Anastasia- I'm Outta Love
Jesus
Jerry Roll - I need a favor, and anything else thats in that same vein of Christian Country Rock.
I live in a rural area and our only local station plays that kind of stuff non stop, I'm not a religious man by any means, but thank god for Spotify and Sirius XM.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Why do people think this is good music?
Anything that starts off with "We the best music!"
And anytime a DJ or song has that "bwar bwAR Bwar bWar" sound effect. An immediate nope.
I absolutely despise We are Young by fun.
On top of it being an irritatingly clingy earworm, with a refrain that when heard once feels like you've heard it a dozen times and every time you do it sounds more annoying than the previous time, it's a song I'm glad doesn't get played as much as during its heydey because it can make people physically sick, not to mention the mental side.
Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire
Stacy's mom, it's so stupid
Some song with Eminem and some other woman, I don't know the name but the woman sings "Just gonna stand there and watch me cry" or something. Fucking hated when they were blasting that on the radio constantly in like 2012 or whenever
B.o.b D.y.l.a.n
Sorry latinos, I love y'all with greatest sincerity, but your music is fucking scorching my innards and I don't mean it as a compliment.
Driving on the freeway. Aretha Franklin. That and Real American by David Bowie. It’s like these two songs were created in drug haze. It just repeats the same words. Sentence after sentence.
I couldn't listen to some Led Zeppelin songs for years because they were on the radio ALL THE TIME. "Kashmir" probably being the worst offender, but "Rock and Roll" and "Heartbreaker" are up there too. They're good songs too but come on, there is a whole catalogue to play from, play another song ffs.
"With a Little Bit of Luck" from My Fair Lady. I hate that song. I tried.
bananaphone, feelings, don't you want me baby
Beatles obladi
Pearl Jam's cover of "Last Kiss." Intolerable mumbly twang attack, justifying everyone who hates Eddie Vedder. I'm not one of them! The bizarre delivery works in "Even Flow" and "Daughter." "Jeremy" and "Evolution" were favorites, in the MTV days.
But his godawful cover of an unremarkable sad-sack soul hit was played over and over and OVER AND OVER throughout summer of '99 and lingered until standard holiday guff replaced everything. Clear Channel was absolutely convinced that hearing it for the hundredth time this week would make you consume product.
Friday - Rebecca Black. I refused to listen to it for many years. When I finally did, I was like - I get the hate. One day she released a new song that people were saying 'redeemed' her. It was also awful. I don't remember the name of it, nor do I care to look it up.
The Mexican Hat Dance. My dad had a cockatiel for awhile that would whistle it nonstop. Usually just bits pieced together incorrectly, but I did witness it getting the whole thing correctly more than once.
I HATE Haus am See - Peter Fox
I will admit, I've never understood how someone could purely hate a song. I like pretty much all music. There's some that I don't care for, but if it came on I could work my way through it.
Wonderwall
Hakuna matata, had one very bad camping trip come to a peak when that song played and I lost my mind. Still can’t.
I don't think I'd ever seen any version of it with English lyrics, obviously yours aren't original but I like it. What i grew up with was mostly only instrumental.
Text Me Merry Christmas
Sure Christmas music sucks in general, but that one makes me want to end my life especially when I worked retail.
Radiohead - Creep
I realize I don’t know any songs I hate off top but one finally came to mind: pon de floor. But the song where this one singer uses that entire song as a sample and sings over it is much worse.
Also like anything mainstream also counts lmao
Vajas - "Sparrow of the Wind"
Don't.
Whatever the fuck those sound loops are that have extreme slowdown that they keep using in those stupid shorts my kids keep watching.
I don't think I can really hate music, no matter if I don't like it. Hate is too much work. But those loops are so fucking annoying! I don't understand people will use them and just feel proud of themselves. Yuck.
Come with me now by Kongos. The song drives me nuts because the lyrics are just awful. And starting them with a scream and then saying come with me now.
24 carat by Bruno Mars.
Pisses me off so that I'll immediately turn the radio off. Damn that song is annoying. The random soundbites, lyrics, everything about it.
that fucking bananas song. cannot hit the button/knob fast enough when it pops up.
Most (all?) Destiny's Child songs.
Nails on a chalkboard to me.
shudder 😖
Hot for teacher by Van Halen just absolutely pisses me off. I guess I'm old now.
My world by guns n' roses.
Alex Care - Too Close.
I love the music, but the lyrics are so fucking bullshit it ruins it for me.
"I'm just to close to love you,"
Dumbest fucking cringe, bullshit line ever.
Absolutely fucking meaningless and something an angsty teenager might say to break up with someone when they are really just a shallow piece of shit.
Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. I'm not sure why, there's worse songs, but it's so fucking annoying and I hate hearing it.
Enya
Caribbean Blue is great
Honestly though while I don't like most of her music, I retain something of a soft spot for Enya solely because of clips in which she completely refuses to give a shit about interviewers trying to play up some mystique around her
Anything by Oasis and Nirvana.
Okay, but I wouldn't compare them with each other
I understand a complete flash in the pan nothing ass band like Oasis, but I am somewhat shocked to see anyone throw shade at Nirvana, especially when some of their stuff was really great.
It's all subjective. I really hate Nirvana's songs, many people love them.
Nirvana Slander?! Not on my watch!
Haha, jokes aside, I do know a lotta reasons why people would not like Nirvana, either lyrics for some, the 'loud noises' effect in some, and generally probably overplayed songs like SLTS or HSB
I, personally love everything (like, I'm into some Montage of Heck Deep Cuts type of fan, the exclusive live songs listener fan) they did, but hey I was almost surprised that Nirvana was mentioned anyway.
That one stupid California King song, I don't know the exact title. Kept hearing it on the radio and it's just crude and annoyingly bubbly. Ugh.
Found it: Marshmello, Kane Brown - Miles On It
Some Kind of Monster by Metallica irritates the hell out of me. Its the laziest songwriting I've ever seen get accolades next to Trio's "Da Da Da" but that was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Metallica were dead serious about that shit.
It's the sound of 4 men pushing 60 trying really hard to be down with the kid's utilizing embarrassingly dated styles. Like your dad and his friends starting a nu metal band because Deftones are still popular with teenagers and younger 20-somethings.
What You're Proposing by Status Quo.
I know they have this whole minimalist gig going on and all, but... damn guys, really, the same words over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, and then some.
I do like some of their other songs, I really do, but I hate this with passion.
Most pop music.
Echo Mountain by James King.
It's a bluegrass song. But give it a listen anyway.
Saturday in the Park, by Chicago.
Stupid fucking lyrics and changing rhythm and tune every fifteen seconds. Fucking sucks.
Dam im not even sure. Like its probably some pop song? But also maybe not i do enjoy alotta dem. Ill get back to yall.
Todays favorite tho? Sitting in the corner, by st paul and the broken bones.
theres too much mariah carey hate in here smh
heres mine: dance monkey by tones and i makes me legitimately full of rage
pretty much any live led zeppelin is terrible because robert plant feels like making annoying noises all the time
i dont like 95% of neil youngs work because not only is his singing terrible, but his lyrics and band suck too
all the young dudes by mott the hoople is another terrible one
pretty much any journey. vomit inducing
It's also surprisingly my favourite song
If your answer isn't "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, you are incorrect.
Teenage Dirtbag. Incel music.
Anything in the "Rap metal" era. Panic at the disco being considered "punk" Whoever that band is that talk-sings the word "Thunder" over and over again. Anything by the pedophile Michael Jackson.
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.
