    Said it before and I know I'll get pelters:

    Love will tear us apart. Joy Division.
    The first port of call for a music snob.

    Dreadful.

    Uptown funk - just don't get the hype

    You've spent too much time in the Millers

    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.

    God yeah, he only inspired John Lennon, James Brown, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, and countless others.

    For the record (excuse the pun) It was Phil Spector

    To some people they are. Not me, mind.
  • I'm not sure anything by Coldplay or U2 is considered 'great' but if it is I can honestly say if it's by Coldplay I hate it and if it's by U2 I probably hate it.

    Hotel California. Anything else that's of the American West Coast rock style on someone's list of greats? I'm fairly certain I'll think it's appalling. Similarly, Africa by Toto and Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.

    Thriller and Billie Jean.

    Seasons in the Sun

    Streets of London. I taught his two eldest kids in the early '80s but it doesn't make me like this dirge.

    Whilst I think Queen are mundane and tedious I can't hate Bohemian Rhapsody because of that scene in Wayne's World. However, that doesn't stop me thinking death is too good for whoever came up with "BoRap".

    Hotel California

    .
  • Every single Abba release.
  • Anything by Buble
  • I think some of us are getting a little off topic and just airing our pet peeves. For example, there's no way every single by Abba or everything by The Beatles or Buble is considered 'great' other than perhaps by the most rabid fan of the artiste(s) in question.
  • Hotel California

    Who the f***s flagged that?
    Come on mate, the title thread says the word "you" in it, you should know by now you're not allowed an opinion.
  • I always throught Meat Loaf, Bat out of Hell was complete shit and still do. The album charted for about 6 years or something.
  • Eye of the Tiger.
    Plodding, mundane, dull and massively over-used
  • Hallo by Adele, could it not be more depressing and anything by Celine Dione, Mariah Scarey, Beyoncé and Josh Groban all feature highly in my musical hell

  • If I could stick my pen in my heart
    And spill it all over the stage
    Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
    Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?

    If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
    A love song so divine
    Would it be enough for your cheating heart
    If I broke down and cried? If I cried?

    I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
    I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
    Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
    I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

    If I could stick a knife in my heart
    Suicide right on the stage
    Would it be enough for your teenage lust
    Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?

    If I could dig down deep down in my heart
    Feelings would flood on the page
    Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
    Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane

    I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
    I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
    Oh, well, I like it, yeah, I like it, I like it
    I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

    And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
    I bet you think you're the only woman in town
    Oh, yeah

    I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
    I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
    Oh, I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, oh yeah
    I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
    Oh, well, I like it, I like it, ah, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
    (Only rock 'n roll but) I like it.

  • Anything by those talking singers and music thiefs, what is it called again? oh yes rap. It's designed so tone deaf singers can have a go as well!
  • Was a big Oasis fan in my teen years but hate some of the more successful stuff they have done.

    Wonderwall as someone has already said.

    Some Might Say

    And the main one - Roll with It. Utter shite - although most people probably accept that.

    Oh and anything by Blur. Nothing to do with the supposed band rivalry.... I just never liked their music back in the day (other than Song 2).
  • I hate just about everything that U2 did after Unforgettable Fire

    There, you were doing so well up to that point :wink:

    Wonderwall - hate it. Love Oasis but cannot stand that song

    I bet my weird Oasis opinion is weirder than yours

    mine is that Be Here Now is their only good album
    I liked the first 3 albums. I just didn't like wonderwall

    Be here now was the 3rd right?

    I'll say goodbye to love.....The Carpenters......the moment it comes on the radio (which seems to be surprisingly often), I have to stop whatever I'm doing and switch off pronto......poncifed dirge.
  • The thing that makes it worse as others have said is when that song is played and everyone else around you seems to have sort of climax and start screaming about how they love that song. Hold yourselves together ffs.

    A personal hate of mine is that song that gets used on the m&s food advert. Don't know who it's by, came out last year or the year before. I remember it came on at a house party I was at and one of my mates went 'tune'. At that point he was no mate of mine.

    That one really is one of those bland pop songs that gets really big and makes me angry
  • Simply The Best - Tina Turner make me wanna vomit
  • That Don't Impress Me Much - Shania Twain yeah you're right Shania luv, it dont. it don't even rhyme
  • I like the BBC 1's live lounge albums, many songs I don't like, I love when rearranged by other artists. I would recommend checking them out on Itunes.
  • Money For Nothing - Dire Straits
