Songs that make me change the radio station

OldGoat · 13-01-2012 8:53am #1

Of the current batch songs seemingly being played ad infinitum, high on the stations playlists are a couple of tunes that have me bolting to the radio to change stations because the song really irks me on some level or other.

For me at the moment it's The Delorentos when they start chanting numbers "15, 21, 25, 35, 45". How fecking mind numbing yet it's flavour of the month with the DJs.

Another is The Nationals who sing a twee little dittie about having cats, then the cats die, then they get new cats, hey hey whoo whoo, hey hey whoo whoo, hey hey whoo whoo...

Any songs that make you squirm so much that you have to turn the radio off, program out of the playlist, leave the room, take a scissors to the headphone lead of the bastard sitting beside you playing their music TOO LOUDLY?

Bugger. Venting didn't help, I'm still grumpy.

Your first mistake was listening to the radio.

OldGoat · 13-01-2012 8:55am

Ha! Phantom have just put "The Nationals" on the turntable. I'm listening to Lyric now.

Napper Hawkins · 13-01-2012 8:58am

I'm a metal head, Lyric fm is the only radio music I can tolerate.

Ya'll can keep the rest.

Ahh Lyric, home of 17th century Baroque Metal. Guitar players might hang up their instruments forever after listening to the solos of Scarlatti. Awesome heavy metal harpsichord. Srsly!

ANY Christmas song comes on and I make a wild lunge in anger towards the wireless.

Sindri · 13-01-2012 9:24am

Anything that only consists of bass.

40% of music.

humanji · 13-01-2012 9:30am

As sweeping a statement as it is, I don't like pretty much any music from the last 10 years. And the 10 before that weren't up to much either. Thank god for MP3 players.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 13-01-2012 9:33am

I hate that one that goes (i dont know the words so i'll hum it) Mmmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm and so on....

rainbowdrop · 13-01-2012 9:36am

Anything by westlife or Katy fucking Perry:mad:

Duggy747 · 13-01-2012 9:36am

Haven't gone near the radio since I done tiling years ago. Would have the radio on and the amount of times I'd hear the same music throughout the day, everyday would drive me insane.

Radio Ga Ga? More like Radio Poo Poo!

I love that song.

Battleflag · 13-01-2012 9:38am

Stopped listening to Irish radio stations years ago, tend to listen to XFM London when at work - so all is good

Frank Black · 13-01-2012 9:38am

Anything by Westlife.
Anything by Boyzone.
Anything by anyone involved in X Factor.

Diddy Kong · 13-01-2012 9:43am

Anything by that lump Adele, I have even left some shops when her crap is on. Cannot stand her.

Pegasus Galactica · 13-01-2012 9:46am

Everything being produced now is so bland and its not the money hungry produces that are to blame but rather the fans for paying for the rubbish.

Howard the Duck · 13-01-2012 9:53am

There's so many that i only listen to internet radio now

what a day · 13-01-2012 9:57am

Any thing to do with X factor or lady gaga (she freaks me out)

As posted above your going wrong by turning on the radio, ipod or CDs.

The most annoying thing on the radio though the the crap talk by Djs that think they are funny and yap on about celebs or some thing they saw on twitter.

Sleepy · 13-01-2012 10:28am

Jedward, Dance music, Lady Gaga

luckily NOVA don't play any of that shoite

gcgirl · 13-01-2012 10:31am

Anything in the Louis Walsh stable
Listen to Nova mostly

They do play a lot of shoite though. Just because it's from the late 70's early 80's and has guitars in it, does not mean it's good!

chin_grin · 13-01-2012 10:33am

Here are a few workarounds to listening to sh!tty Irish radio and sh!tty Irish\UK\US bands. (In an office setting).

Download Radiosure.

That's it. You can get genre specific stations on that (or add your own via stations own streaming url).

Or youtube.

windingo · 13-01-2012 10:33am

Anything that isn't Johnny Cash - which tends to be everything.

Oh no they don't

Big Nasty · 13-01-2012 10:35am

At home I listen to my own music but in the car it's either Phantom or Nova. Cannot tolerate any other station for more than ten minutes.

JerryHandbag · 13-01-2012 10:38am

The fact that there is so much rubbish out there makes me avoid turning on the radio in the first place.

Plumpynutt · 13-01-2012 10:44am

Everything tbh. Radio is bollocks, bar Lyric. Spin is regularly on in the house, everything about that radio station makes me want to commit acts of violence, from the retarded f*cks who do the 5 word weather thing, the American voice over thing, to the bile they play.

S'why I don't listen to the radio anymore:)

what a day · 13-01-2012 10:49am

Aggh and that stupid thing on Fm104 nod your noggin, they play a good song but you cant hear it because nod your noggin is played over ot for two 3rds of the song. Worst thing everon the radio though is the toll trolls, pat Cortneys horrible accent and spins good news.:mad:

Dale Parish · 13-01-2012 10:51am

Anything Spin SouthWest plays.

Paparazzo · 13-01-2012 10:52am

Tonight by Black Eyed Peas. The intro makes me change the radio station

summerskin · 13-01-2012 11:30am

anything by Beyonce, Jessie J, Professor Green or Lady GaGa. And hundreds of others. prefer listening to Sean Moncrieff in the afternoon and then time for the ipod.

StaticNoise · 13-01-2012 7:23pm

Anything by that complete and utter, talentless gobshite Bruno Mars.
Despite that little fecker through and through.

Anything iRadio plays, music (allegedly) or their inane chat between.

dylano_k · 13-01-2012 7:31pm

Poxy Rihanna, and Lady Gaga....that talentless piece of sh1t Pitbull really wrecks my head, how he's got a record deal is beyond me, I honestly dont think i'v ever heard a worse artist in my life, my mate has hit his album in his car and always plays it, albums for gays, i think he's gay, he said it's a real party album, we're in your fcuking car not at a party....at the start of every song he says mr worldwide huh huh....Wánker!!!!!!

Rihanna-we found love, beyonce- put a ring on it and one direction- what makes you beautiful.... Three absolutely brutal songs.

Die die die

Irish Guitarist · 13-01-2012 7:57pm

I save time by not turning on the radio in the first place.

MagicMarker · 13-01-2012 7:58pm

Neil Young - Rockin' in the Free World

Quite possibly the worst ****ing song in existence.

WindSock · 13-01-2012 8:59pm

The only station that isn't heavily repetitive with it's music is Dublin City FM, the traffic reports show. And the Trad one.

Nova and Phantom are the only tolerable music stations but by jaysus are they useless for new stuff or different stuff, or even Irish stuff.

I like Dave Fanning but I am never driving when he is on and forget which time and station.

I too switch to Lyric when the airwaves have fk all decent music to offer and I am sometimes glad I did.

Actually mostly I just have my gaypod on now so I don't have to suffer. Unless I haven't changed my music in ages though.

I know its old but having heard this song 20-30 time a day for 6 months in my early twenties, not only do I feel like changing the station I feel like hurling myself off a bridge
