Cracking track, but I'm afraid it might be played too much, like Bryan Adams' song in 1991, everyone will be sick of it!

Wow. That's one of the worst things I've ever heard. It's like Eastern European wedding music done by some boyband reject gone country or something. Wow. Burn that in Mordor. Forever.

I'm a big REM fan too, the song of their's that I cannot stand is Shiny Happy People. It wrecks my head. And that bint from the B52's, not to mention that weird fella, saw them on something live recently and they were truly awful.

Off topic but "give it a lash jack" and "joxer" have a special place in irish folklore.

Joxer = a great humorous song. Christy Moore is great.
Give it a lash Jack = song you can excuse because Ireland had a great team back in 1990.

Galway Girl.

I can take or leave Snow Patrol, I think they've done some decent stuff, but Chasing Cars.....****ing hell. Music to make you lose the will to live.

There are way too many from the past so I will just stick with:

Blurred Lines. It is awful, the video girls are nothing special, that ****ing "hey hey hey" sound sticks in my head and if Miley Cyrus was the last woman on the planet I would rather rape Eamon Dunphy than have her "twerk" on my lad.

Get Lucky. In fact there is something about Pharrell Williams voice that irritatingly stick in your head.

It's funny. I love dance music. I love (older hip hop). Yet I hate nearly everything Daft Punk or Pharrell have made.

Mysteriouschic

Adele - Someone Like You
Bruno Mars - Just They Way You Are/Treasure
Emelie Sande - Next To Me
Any song by Pitbull or Flo Rida
The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round

This song is full of sin. There was one time that talent and not foul language is what sold records.

Omg lol. I'd say 80% of twenty tens music

Flesh Gorden

A bit surprised that no one has mentioned this but...

Green Day - Time of Your Life


My own personal reason being:
At the end of 6th year, our music teacher decided to do a year performance of it, but couldn't decide what key we should sing in

Meaning, with me on guitar I had to play the song, each time with a capo on a different fret, moving it up and down
so she could hear how we sounded with a lower and higher pitched key.


In the end we must have practiced it 100 times with the guitar now sounding more like a mandolin,
only for her to pull the performance, but then come up to me on the night asking if I had or could get my guitar

......An urge to kill begins to rise whenever I hear those opening chords


And for anyone from Cork whose had no choice in listening to 96fm:

Toto: Kiss the Rain Down in Africa
Shakira: Hips Don't Lie
Justin Timberlake: Rock Your Body
Black Eyed Peas: I Gotta Feeling & Where is the Love

They still play each of these 5 songs on a regular basis as if they were brand new, sometimes more than once per day

Well after November/December 2010, any band with SNOW in their name would be unwelcome!!:D

Seriously though I haven't heard much of Snow Patrol and couldn't tell you a song they sang. So, I can't judge.

My few straight away are..

'All night to get lucky' (liked at first but got saturated airplay)

'Knights in white satin' (always depressed the fook out of me)

'Hotel California'

One Direction are one of the most overrated, overhyped bands of all time. I don't get what they have at all. They are bland, mediocre and sound exactly like all the other boybands and popbands.

Find a teenage girl and ask them, that's their market. They aren't exactly knocking out Pet Sounds or the White Album. I don't think anyone outside of sma****s hypes them do they? Manufactured guff for teenage girls.

The Monkees and so on were around before the term boyband was invented. They will be remembered long after One Direction will fade from view.

Fields of Athenry is ok when sung slow and serious as it was meant to be. But that fast version with the hey baby let the freebirds fly bit is something I cannot stand. Who the hell originated that thing? Probably Dustin the bleedin' Turkey!!

I daren't google, but I'd suspect some 90s tacky DJ or other. The original makes my skin crawl too - and I'm from near enough to those fields.

Choochtown

A lot of UB40 hate on this thread.


Admittedly their output for the last 30 years has been generally quite dreadful.


However, their first 2 albums "Signing off" and "Present Arms" are quality.

I will look it up. I'd rate the original as ok but as a victim of burglars two years ago, my tolerance of songs like this that completely justify a crime is low. The line 'he stole Trevellian's (sp?) corn so his kids can see the morn' is exactly what you hear from these free legal aid barristers defending burglars. Of course, this song is fiction but if it was for real, the criminal lauded in it would more likely than not have robbed a lot more than just corn and would have done it for himself! But I guess the attitude in such songs is breaking British law, even if it is robbery, is ok!!

I hate as well how the song, that awful baby let the freebirds one, has become such a rallying cry at sports events.

And to think it was not even around before the early 1980s!! Many incl. myself assumed it was an old traditional ballad but it was written around 1979 and only became famous in around 1982/3.

I don't know if he (it?) was definitely the original 'person'/'turkey' do do this hey baby let the freebirds fly version, but as predicted that canvass bag Dustin the Turkey was one of those who made this turkey - forgive the pun - famous.

In fact, speaking of songs you never want to hear again: I will add anything by that Dustin clown to this. He has recorded and ruined many a good song and even had good artists collaborate with him!! Only in Ireland could such a travesty have a hit record. One of the most embarrassing moments we ever had was sending that canvass bag to the Eurovision. Luckily, we have not heard tell of him much since!

Didn't Brush Shields and his band do a really fast upbeat version of that song? Could it have been him/them who added that "hey baby..." bit?

I never heard his version but the two that are in my subconciousness are that squaking canvass bag Dustin and then there is another uptempo live version where the audience say after 'our love was on the wing' Sinn Fein and IRA after 'we had dreams and songs to sing'.
