Songs by great bands that annoy you

karaokeman

I like Daft Punk a lot, but god does Around the World do my head in.

fleet_admiral

I love Blur but country house wrecks me buzz

dr.bollocko

Pretty much everything off in through the out door by Zepp is drivel.

Fat Christy

Journey - Don't stop believing.

Most overplayed song ever! :mad: Does my head in but I like the band apart from that one song.

Hotfail.com

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers.


Would they ever stop playing the f*cking thing.

wazky

Wonderwall by Oasis.

Brilliant song ruined by drunk people at parties with guitars.

Trebor176

Fans by Kings of Leon. One of the worst and most annoying songs played on radio. The singers voice completely wrecks my head. Actually, I wouldn't consider Kings of Leon great at all anyway.

I second Don't Stop Believing by Journey. Too overplayed and I'm sick of it. Radio Nova seem to be the only station to realise that Journey had other songs apart from that. Their music is good in general.

Speaking of Daft Punk, Get Lucky is overplayed as well. Not a good song either.

Mediocre song ruined by Liam Gallagher.

Anything by U2. Just can't warm to them though people whose opinion on music I respect are convinced they're brilliant.

Hotfail.com

Someone just called Liam Gallagher a great singer and then deleted their post.

I think he'll appreciate me telling you this, as it seems to be a recent major discovery in the field of music, and previously this was contrary to the opinion of anyone with ears.

Was me who deleted by accident.

Anyway, yeah he must be crap sure, that whole Oasis thing never really took off.

Sky King

Underworld have great tunes and Born Slippy is not one of them.

Banjo String

Every tear drop is a waterfall. Coldplay.

REM's "Everything Hurts." Dreadful faux-sentimental rubbish, fortunately not at all representative of their work.

Did you even read the title?

Mince Pie

d'yer mak'er - Led Zep. Awful

If I never hear No woman No Cry again, it'll be too soon.

And done pretty decently by Ryan Adams.

An Riabhach

"Smells Like Teen Spirit"- Nirvana
"Thunderstruck"-AC/DC
"Boys Are Back In Town"- Thin Lizzy
"In A Big Country"- Big Country
"Don't Stop Me Now"- Queen

All great bands,used to love all the songs mentioned until radio killed them by overplaying them.

Possibly more to follow.....

I love that song, it's the essence of succinct simplicity.

The REM song that I feel lets down their whole body of work is Shiny Happy People. I hate that idiot song and it makes me feel the opposite of shiny and happy.

Noel's version is different, but I've learned to appreciate Liam's take on this song. Sure he can be nasal at times, but the edgy/stadium anthem feel makes the song a perfect fit.

I actually don't mind hearing Don't Stop Believing as overplayed as it is. Just seems to be one of those comfort songs I just have to keep hearing to remind myself life is good.

Candie

"Hello, Goodbye" by The Beatles bugs the shít out of me. :mad:

Pretty sure that was the reaction they wanted, they were basically trolling people with that song. It's about Prozac (I think) so it's pretty much the opposite of shiny and happy. I still like it though!

Well, I never knew that! It explains Stipes' uncomfortable range of expressions in the video.

An Riabhach

"Parachute"- Something Happens
"With Or Without You"- U2
"Sweet Child O' Mine"-Gun N' Roses

Again,thanks to the radio....

The earlier mentioned "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen-also because it was murdered by a truly awful cover version by those poncey eejits MacFly.

Rothko

Piggies, Wild Honey Pie, Honey Pie, Mr. Moonlight - The Beatles
We Suck Young Blood, Pop Is Dead - Radiohead
We Will Fall - The Stooges
Dancing In The Street - David Bowie & Mick Jagger
Be True To Your School - Beach Boys
Most of the Wall - Pink Floyd

The most successful song any band had- sellouts

/hipster

Birneybau

Creep-Radiohead (yeah, that's what I said).

Everything, and I mean everything U2 have released since at least 1997.

That mob from "Glee" didn't do it any favours either,with their girly cover version of that song which was played a lot on the radio when they first did it.

Even Stipe hates that song. (Skip to 1:30)

Most of their later stuff is just..meh and as such am fairly ambivalent towards, but the song that actually annoys me is "The Sweetest Thing"

Cork's finest, The Fatima Mansions, did a cover of Shiny Happy People. I think they swear in one part of it...

Anything by Bastille, the 1975 & anyone else who sings in them faux posh London accents.

Particularly 'Pompeii'. Foundations by Kate Nash is another one. So grating.

Thread is titled songs by "great" bands that annoy you.

The Backwards Man

Superfly Slick Dick by the Vengaboys.

Really out of kilter with all of their other effervescent singalong work.

I couldn't pinpoint why those bands wreck my head but you've just nailed it there!

Meh. Mournful dirge if you ask me. Each to their own.

I wouldn't say SHP is a work of genius or anything, but the song is an obvious piss-take. It's not meant to be taken seriously.

I think I remember reading an interview where REM spoke relatively highly of Everybody Hurts and dissed SHP. However, like you, they are wrong!!

tastyt

Sex on ****ing fire.

I hate knobs and musical snobs that think it's cool to spout the " I only like their early stuff " bull but this song really took away a lot of my love for that band. Only coming around again now

I have a hatred for that song because it - the original version - was used in a crappy Club Orange advert that some of the older boardsies, like me, will probably remember.

The Walk Of Life - Dire Straits

God but I hate it!

No way! Fool in the rain is a classic, love that shuffle.

Diabhal Beag

Not a Bruce man myself but nobody can dispute that "Radio Nowhere" is the worst song ever made.

Mine is probs Beautiful Day by U2

Sir Arthur Daley

Is it great bands in my opinion or what the mass call great?

scuba8

Ob la di Ob la da by the Beatles.
One of the worst song ever written by one of the greatest bands ever.

Odd, I love both of them. Walk of Life particularly. For myself...I love Queens of the Stone Age, but I wouldn't be gone on a few songs from Rated R and Songs for the Deaf. I like the Offspring as well, but Pretty Fly for a White Guy annoys me to no end. I don't like Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars anymore, but that's mostly from overexposure.

Edit: I'm quite partial to Radio Nowhere too actually, and I wouldn't be a huge fan of the Boss either.

Say Your Number

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
N17 and Useta Love Her by Saw Doctors
Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC
Born to Run by Springsteen
Best of You and Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters

Some songs that I've heard way too much.

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo

I like Radio Nowhere.

My pick is 'Girlfriend in a coma' by The Smiths, god its terrible, especially considering they have (IMHO) no weak album so it really stands out as being particularly annoying.

NegativeCreep

Anything by aerosmith. I absolutely hate them with a passion.

The second half of the late registration album by Kanye West wrecks my head too but love everything else he's done

gammygils

New Year's Day - U2

The piano! Ended my love of the band

gramar

Yellow by Coldplay. Anything by them really but especially that one.

karaokeman

Some people are writing like this is a thread about artists you don't like. It's not, its specifically about acts you think are very talented but have one song that irritates you.

OK lads, pick a band/artist you like but dislike one song to stay on topic.

Barely There

Should I Stay or Should I Go? - The Clash.
