    I think that the song "My G" by Ed Sheeran is among the worst Ive heard in my lifetime.

    For those who might not know "G" is used as a reference to American Ghetto speak, G meaning gangster/gangsta.

    To hear it used by a little white ginger lad is so cringe inducing that it makes my as-hole shiver. Terrible song, its everything thats wrong today. Awful cringe pop mixed with the mandatory scrote rap and fawning.

    Another godawful lyric worth mentioning is from the song 'every time i turn around you disappear' in which "J'adore la mer" is awkwardly crowbarred in. I have to make some sort of noise, or cough, evert time when i hear that lyric coming, because it hurts my soul.

    I wish Nial Horan would disappear, somewhere near the cliffs. I would adore la mer if I could look on at his floating corpse.

    they often listen to spin in my workplace its the worst shyte ever. ive heard a lot of terrible pop over the years, but these last few years are particularly awful.

    green green grass blue blue sky is a stunningly bad song. its on the same level as you might expect from elevator music, or hold music, and yet its on the airwaves, for money. its not an exaggeration to say most people waking up hungover on a Sunday morning could easily compose something equally good/shyte, literally. Eurovision quality level.

    ps lewis capaldi is a crooning sht stain on the ears of humanity.

    Putin is a dictator. Putin should face justice at the Hague. All good Russians should work to depose Putin. Russias war in Ukraine is illegal and morally wrong.

    That "Green Green Grass" gospel shyte by George Ezra.

    Clearly trying to boost his "I'm a Mr.Popular" status.

    Siúl leat, siúl leat, le dóchas i do chroí, is ní shiúlfaidh tú i d'aonar go deo.

    Bit harsh. Delorentos are a great Irish band, not very mainstream and maybe went bit downhill their last album or 2, but still a great band. Little Sparks the album is a classic.

    "Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground"


    Feck off!! That's a brilliant tune. I love that 90's trip hop music .

    I totally agree with you re Dance Monkey however. That singing voice of hers gives me ire!!

    100% ... Gavin James, Declan O'Rourke, new image Imelda May, and any of these types are the most overrated acts ever ... ex boyband rubbish like Lee Matthews and Nicky Byrne may be worse but no one is claiming them as being anything artistic whereas they are claiming GJ and his ilk are among 'the greatest' ... the amount of overhype given to mediocre and often rubbish music knows no bounds ... clearly these guys are all connected ... Dermot Kennedy we know has the pull directly inside Ireland's media ... Kennedy is a bit better admittedly than James et al but still his pull gets him to where he is .. Imelda May was on the pre-Tubridy toy show as a child ... I am sure James etc have pull too albeit less obvious ...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,135 ✭✭✭lumphammer2


    I have no problem with the original Fairytale of New York but I have still not recovered from hearing that version by Imelda May on the Tubridy Show before Christmas .. new image Imelda May needs to be declared a pandemic ...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,707 ✭✭✭Bobblehats



    Because imelda the bland rockabilly hipster was so cool.

    Mayhem, da dooby dooby doo-wop 😙

    Time to put childish things aside.


    Can't figure where I heard it, but I woke up this morning with that something "gucci on" something something "I made you look" playing in me poor head. Don't know who it's by and don't want to. Horrible experience 😪

    Fields of athenry. Such a depressing song. I always notice when they sing it at football matches the Irish team plays worse.

    Anything by Katie Perry, particularly 'Roar' and 'Firework'.

    She sounds like a car alarm going off.

    Slow hands Niall Horan



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭Sgt Hartman


    Anything by any tattoo faced, autotune using, talentless mumble rapper. The Longitude festival would be my idea of Hell on Earth. If I was forced at gunpoint to either attend the Longitude festival or a Daniel O'Donnell concert, I'd pick Daniel O'Donnell every time.

    Also that dreadful Dance Monkey song by Tones & I

    Shotgun in particular for me. If it comes on the radio I have to change station fast

    Made you look by Mimi Webb on the radio non stop the last month. Just plain annoying and sounds like a 12 year old wrote it.

    P-p-p-poker face...

    P-p-p-poker face...

    P-p-p-poker face...

    Ad nauseam

    I have heard this song by somebody in passing .. don't know who .. iirc there was an f word repeated in there too ... the latter guarantees the hit the rest is can be any poor lyrics repeated over and over ...

    The way music is gone today is if anyone shouted the f word into a microphone 100 times they'd get a hit ...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,135 ✭✭✭lumphammer2


    Imelda was never cool ... she was never really rockabilly either ... more pop jazz ... but she was better then than now ... what she is at now is woeful ... like all the other modern pop and modern country rubbish ...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,194 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    Imelda May is just a family-friendly yellow pack Amy Winehouse.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 995 ✭✭✭Ragwort and Stones


    Tainted Love - Soft Cell. Just awful.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,142 ✭✭✭donegal_man


    "Fields of Athenry" I know I'm in a minority but I could easily do without hearing that depressing dirge being sung at every sporting event.

    It's the perfect soundtrack for being 3-0 down against somewhere like Cyprus in a must-win Euros qualifier with 5 minutes to go.

    Come to think of it, I'm surprised the James Gavins or whatever haven't made a cover of it.
