    Would rather lick piss off a thistle than listen to anything by Chas and Dave although not sure their songs are in the 'great' category.

    Not me. I bought Clash albums in an attempt to get rid of bands like that....

    Bohemian Rhapsody. Even worse when referred to as BoRap.
  • The Killers - Mr Brightside. It seems that whenever this song comes on at any uni in the country everyone loses their s**t, I hate it.

    Never thought I'd ever say, but some of the Oasis 'anthems' grate on me now. Probably over exposure when I was a whipper snapper

    Both rock dinosaurs by now, but it's doubtful whether The Clash wrote a song as good as Hotel California

    The hell it is. Even "remote control" is better than that musical equivalent of the emperor's new clothes

    Anything with "rap" in it. Any song that the lead singer feels the need to point his finger with meaning. All boy and girl band songs. All songs with a singer wearing a hat. Any song ever that has a "DJ" even remotely involved.

    Rolling stones just don't do it for me.

    1 or 2 of their tracks are listen-able....but I'm just not into them, for whatever reason that maybe.

    That is a particular weird one because they are huge and loved by many.

    Fairytale of New York. Absolute shite.

    Absolutely anything I could get my hands on between 1994 and 2000.

    Almost all Elvis. Just sounds like a comedy singing voice. Any voice that can be impersonated down the pub after a few is a shit singing voice.

    You've lost that loving feeling. God awful song. Don't know (or care) who wrote or sang this but pure shite.

    Agree with Bohemian Rhapsody. Massively over rated.

    IMHO prodigy tracks are like a commercial homage to the rave scene so if you were part of that you maybe picked that up?

    prodigy is much more appealing when followed by "D&B remix"

    If you want to hear overdone pretentious I can recommend the sufijan Stevens album 'silver and gold'.

    If you can make it to the end do let me know what medication you have available so I can avoid it.

    I've never been able to understand why so many people seem to like it.
