    What was the worst year ever for music in your opinion? So far, it has been 2016 for me. This year has not seen even one good song in my ears. I hear the same beats I hear in every respective song. By respective I mean its genre like those house beats and drums that annoy me of how frequently they're used. The closest song I could find that I like in 2016 is Lukas Graham - 7 Years but at the same time, I am not mad about it.

    2016 - worst year ever for music in my opinion.

    This is only my opinion. Let's see yours.

    No such thing as the worst year in music. That's my opinion.

    It's only 3 months in?

    Blackstar - Bowie
    Is the Is Are - DIIV
    Adore Life - Savages
    Painting With - Animal Collective
    Untitled Unmastered - Kendrick Lamar
    Night Thoughts - Suede
    Emotional Mugger - Ty Segall

    Some great albums already out and that's only off the top of my head, again just within the first two months of the year. Shaping up nicely :)

    I'd say year one.


    People still figuring out notes and sounds


    Mostly grunts and uggs. Not very good beat to it.

    David Bowie is dead though which adds to my deep hate for this year so far music wise.

    I think this has been a good year so far except for that recent Rihanna song which sounds like a dog with a stammer.

    It would have to be one of the naughties. That whole decade was fairly bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,680 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Can anybody show me any good music of 2016? I can't find any which is why I consider it the worst. I can't see why you say it is a good year for music :mad::confused:

    FFS, we're not even three whole months into the year yet. No point in writing it off now.
    I thought 2015 was a pretty poor year for music until the end of year when I looked over my Spotify playlist (since 2012 I've made a playlist every year for songs I like released in that year) and realised that there was actually quite a lot of good stuff.

    My 2016 playlist currently has 33 songs on it thus far, and am hoping to add many more to it as the year progresses. Every year has its gems and its shíte (though what falls into what category is all subjective anyway) - I don't see why 2016 should be or will be any different.

    Some good'uns from 2016 thus far:







    See also ('cause I'll piss people off if I add any more videos):
    PJ Harvey - The Wheel
    Mick Pedaja - Seis
    All Saints - One Strike
    Foxes - Body Talk
    The Jezabels - Come Alive
    Jack Garratt - Fire

    Excuse me, I did not ask you to influence my opinion, thank you :cool:. I wanted to know your opinion on the worst year for music in your opinion (of course every year has at least a few good songs but sadly this year so far not for me). Out of those songs, I kind of like Easier Day but other than that, no I don't like them songs sorry.

    Crap like Justin Bieber's Love Yourself reached #1 and I never know how it did because the music in it makes me so bored....

    The young wans love it though. Shur he's a great artist just like Zayn.

    Anyway I think 2004 was the worst.

    This.

    Every year will have its clangers and it's amazing songs if you listen broadly enough and not to just what you hear in chart radio.

    Nineteen dickety two. Music was banned by the Kaiser and so was the word twenty so we had to use dickety in its place. I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,574 ✭✭✭HalloweenJack


    Has reggaeton made it to Ireland yet?

    Just be grateful it hasn't, if not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,321 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    We are not even halfway through the 3rd month of the year, 9 and a bit more to go, sorry.

    10 of them equal in the 80's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    I think this has been a good year so far except for that recent Rihanna song which sounds like a dog with a stammer.

    Seriously - if a worse song than that makes it on to the airwaves this year, I'd be shocked.

    Has to be in the running for the worst song ever written.

    We have this thread in AH every year

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    We have this thread in AH every year

    Is that because music gets worse and worse?

    That Rhianna song is so bad that the whole year has to be written off.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Their is a silver lining to that Rihanna song, in that it's so bad it forced me to listen to some Sean Paul to remind what good dancehall sounds like


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,471 ✭✭✭Anesthetize


    Hahahaha we're not even 3 months into 2016 :D

    To be honest it hasn't set my world alight so far, but I'm being patient. The new Bowie album is great and I dig the new Chairlift album Moth. The new albums from School of Seven Bells and Savages have been disappointing, and DIIV have always sucked balls.

    Some upcoming albums I'm looking forward to:
    The Joy Formidable - Hitch
    Deftones - Gore
    PJ Harvey - The Hope Six Demolition Project
    Vektor - Terminal Redux
    Beth Orton - Kidsticks
    The Kills - Ash & Ice

    This is only my opinion. Let's see yours.


    That is quite possibly the worst song I've ever heard ever. Whiney bulls*t is all it is. Makes me wanna ram knitting needles in my ears. If that's your idea of the best, I shudder to think of what's worse. Good god!

    The nonsense on the wireless can't really be counted as music.

    However regarding metal and rock music there have been poor releases over the past year such as Triviums disaster of a record.

    That naughties term doesn't make any sense, it is not like the years were pronounced as "naughty one, naughty two"

    In the future people will learn to refer to the decade as the "Two thousands" or "Twenty Hundreds"
