Songs you hate that everyone else seems to love

I DESPISE Gangnam Style.

Honestly, can't stand it.

Laura - Bat for Lashes



It's Lana Del Rey without the sex, style and yearning. Incredibly derivative and miserable.

There's nothing special about GANGNAM STYLE aside from it's thoroughly ridiculous (and hilarious) music video. It's the DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI for a new generation of pre-teens.

That said, Skrillix is god awful. FIRST OF THE YEAR (EQUINOX) is arguably the worst thing I've ever heard.

Skyfall by Adele. Creep by Radiohead.

Oh, and GANGNAM STYLE.

That Desiree thing about life and preferring to have a piece of toast. That makes me want to kill people. Also The Proclaimers and that 500 miles shit. 500 miles is not nearly far enough.

Anything by BIRDY, particularly if she's being pimped as 'the most beautiful voice in the world'. She's completely unremarkable.

I think it only became a hit through that special brand of post-modern irony I so very much loathe.

One Day Like This - Elbow



From the Bitter Sweet Symphony school of pop writing. Trying too hard be an anthem without ever earning it. Those session violinists must have be bored out of their fucking skulls, not to forget the poor sod playing the piano.

Makes me one to kill myself.

Every time I hear this song I want to stab children.

If Hell exists, and it has a waiting room, that's the song on the speakers.

I can't remember the thread, but someone posted a youtube comment from one of her videos "Her voice sounds like it's coming out of a too-small arsehole". I think that everytime I hear any of her songs now.

Thanks for that, Vesper.

Her career seemed all but over after that huge backlash because of the (I think) Coca Cola advert she did?

Yeah, she appeared in a Diet Coke ad ... general consensus seemed to be that it was an ill-judged misstep. Only one single was released from her second album, and it only managed a chart position of 41. Third album is apparently due next year.

I really do not get it's popularity at all. :scratch:

I don't even know what the fuck it is.

An actual style or a group?

I'd look it up, but I have more important things to Google, like Sasha Grey.

It's novelty pop shit, by a South Korean 'artist'. If he'd been from the North, it likely never would've existed ... which is a point in favour of repressive dictatorships, if you ask me.

Jake Bugg - Lightning Bolt



Who gave Frank Spencer a guitar and a mic?

I love Mercy :)

Really don't like this song. Not just these 30 seconds, but the entire fucking song.

Why? It has a timely message about fiscal prudence.

Eye of the Tiger
Livin' on a Prayer
Sweet Home Alabama
Don't Stop Believin'

Most anything from Radiohead.

I'll drink to that. Thom Yorke is an irritating c.u.n.t.

I agree on Skyfall and Gangham Style - I've not even seen the music video for it somehow!

I can't stand this song:


or Paula Cole's I DON'T WANT TO WAIT.
