Apparently some people think it's great, I hate it, read WikiAddicksAddict said:
But does anybody actually call this great? Popular, which it was at one time, is not the same as great.SuperCliveMendonca said:Macarena

Mull of Kintyre - shamelessly plagiarises the melody of a timeless classic.6
-
Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh1
-
Anything by Sir Paul McCartney...just awful.1
-
I don't know of either of these count as great, but they're my two all-time hated songs, no question:
Crocodile Rock by Elton bloody John
You're So Vain by Carly Simon

I cannot stand Adele singing Skyfall, which seemed to be on the radio for about a decade.0

No, don't say that about the Rats, I really loved "She's so modern".i_b_b_o_r_g said:Anything by The Boom Town Rats
Bob Geldoff done alright out of it though amassing a 150 million fortune out of it though
Mind you, it's not like people thought they were properly good.
I'm fairly certain that Gob Beldof's big money came from TV, I'm sure that I heard that his production company was behind the Big Breakfast.0 -
Red Red Robin.
Ooooooonly kidding! I love bob bob bobbin'
Pretty much anything that comes out of X factor... perhaps not classed as great but they sell enough copies of them!0 -
American Pie- Don McLean
C'mon Eileen-Dexys Midnight Runners

True but people like cuddles don't know anything he did before "Do you think I'm sexy"AddicksAddict said:
Re Rod, I have to agree. An old raincoat... and Every picture... are two excellent albums. He had a great blues voice at the time.Henry Irving said:
ALL Rod Stewart? OK, post 77 there was a lot of rubbish but the Faces and his early sole stuff is great.JohnBoyUK said:The Fugees. Especially Killing me softly. Load of clap trap.
Amy Winehouse made my ears bleed.
Rod Stewart. Rubbish. Absolutely bloody awful in fact.
Love Amy and Fugees are good too IMHO but Rod? Right up there with Van as best British male soul voice0 -

I don't mind UB40 but I hate their version of 'Red red wine'.Macronate said:Anything by UB40.
Whining, nasal, Brummie bollocks.
"There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?"
Run for the hills Ali, don't bloody sing about it.0 -
Pompeii by Bastille
(Not hate, but dislike, maybe just not part of its probable age demographic who lap it up)0 -
ThisDaveMehmet said:Hotel California
And Cotton Eyed Joe and American Pie0 -
I’m pretty certain I’m not their age demographic (late 50s), but I saw their comeback gig at The 100 Club a few months ago and this was just glorious. They were so happy to be back playing, it really shone through.EastTerrace said:Pompeii by Bastille

Wonderwall, and several other 'classics' by Oasis.2
-
Other happy clap-along ‘indie’ (if some want to call them that) classics that people love but I detest are:
Ho Hey by The Lumineers
Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis
0 -
I enjoy a lot of music by Prince but can’t stand ‘Purple Rain’0
-
Snow Patrol Chasing Cars. Mr W loves it though!0
-
Red red wine by UB40. Should be titled red red whine. Sets my teeth on edge.

Bohemian Rhapsody - a pastiche of sections each designed to appeal to different market 'segments' in order to get a hit record.1

Sweet Caroline! (Especially when it has now been played to death at the end of England games, at boxing events and even at the end of play-off games (and our one last season and everyone sings along to it)) Grrrrrr

At Wembley in both 2019 and 2025, when Sweet Caroline started to play that was the “Icing on the cake”.
Two great Play Off matches, Two Great Victories , and 35,000+ Charlton fans singing Sweet Caroline at the top of their voices in celebration. Life doesn’t get better.
Even today when I hear Sweet Caroline, I think of the two days at Wembley.0
