Songs you turn off when it comes on the radio and why 20:09 - Mar 20 with 7733 viewscharmr

True, Spandau ballet

Absolute contemptible shyte :)

Bohemian Rhapsody, at school every one loved it, 10 weeks at no 1. Couldn’t get away from it. Painful.

Bohemian Rhapsody definitely hideous.


Agree. You can add my vote. Starts off ok but all that Bismillah / Galileo screeching?? One of the worst noises ever.

I love the records the bloke plays on a Sunday Afternoon on 6music but Elbow have me immediately hitting the mute, or triggering a frantic game of hunt the remote. The voice is the main thing, part Peter Gabriel, part Morrissey, part Hovis. Three things I can all stomach in reasonable quantities but all mixed in a bucket with an egg on top - not for me.

But the one that does it for me right now. Fortunately there’s a bit of an intro which gives me a fighting chance of sweet silence before the vocal kicks in. And I’m talking dropping everything I’m doing - usually in the kitchen to literally fly into the adjoining living room, Lev Yashin-like, crashing length first onto the sofa, hand outstretched - radio is the far side - and slamming the thing off is Mary Tempest. I haven’t got the name right. Rap poet is a fair description. I feel mean about this. The arrangements are pretty good and some of her lyrics are beautiful and heart-felt but her voice just renders it all as a continuous repetition of its not fair, it’s not fair. She’s probably right it isn’t fair but what can I do? By this stage it’s an urgent involuntary reaction.


You mean Kate Tempest.

Probably better to read her poetry rather than listen to it being performed (Sic!).

There is no such thing as bad music, even the Portsmouth Sinfonia, there is just music that isn't your personal taste.


I used to believe that Mick until the last 10 years of whingey whiney popular nonsense. Theres something about the particular whiney pitch and whiney tone and whiney pacing that sets off an unpleasant reaction in my brain

Anything Australian, except Crowded House. Anyone heard of Slim Dusty? Every song the same crap. He could only have made a career from singing in OZ.


I thought Crowded House were Kiwi's?

Inxs, the Kick album was a masterpiece.

I have a dislike for Paul McCartney, cheesey boring old fart.

A few years back I was sent a 30 day song challenge.
Day 1 was the song you like the most
Day 2 was the song you HATE the most

At the time, my day 2 choice was "Its Raining Men" by The Weather Girls. Because drunken women do not need to prove they can neither dance nor sing.

I'm now thinking Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. For exactly the same reasons.


Big shout out to Derby!

His voice may have gone, a handful of his songs are awful, his recent stuff may be dull but he's a song writing legend.

Anything which involves Robbie Williams would have me retuning to the Archers.

The joy of radio meaning i wouldn't be looking at his smug ,fat face and that bloody tongue sticking out.

thats that off my chest


Angels.

Just the worst kind of maudlin popular tripe.

Bruce Springsteen: Philadelphia.

If you're going to make a song that long at lest put in a guitar solo.

It was played to death on MTV in the 90's so I cant stand it or the video.

War Baby by Tom Robinson is a diabolical way to spend five minutes.

Budapest - George Ezra, i'd rather shit in my hands and clap than listen to that

Another Love - Tom Odell, good looking young lad singing about losing the love of his life at around 19, whilst there are a queue of women on their knees waiting to nosh the whiny little tvvat.

Loads of good mentions already that i 100% concur with but these are 2 fairly recent Heart FM staple tracks that boil my piss

Anything after 1983. ‘Cause it’s all f ucking shite.


That's a very negative approach. There's so much music released and, although a lot of it doesn't appeal (f ucking shite, if you prefer) there are gems around.

Q magazine just did best of the decade 2010-2019 with 82 tracks. A few I knew already, some I've now heard a few times and quite like and some (mostly rap and hip-hop) which I don't like at all.

Just keep an open mind.

I the 90s I listened to music radio a fair bit, but the music of
Maria Carey
Whitney Houston
Celine Dion
would have me reaching for the knob(on the radio)
Nowadays, most current stuff on the radio sounds crap to me, so its talk radio and Spotify for me now.

Some of his earlier stuff such as Talkin' Book and Innervisions are excellent.

Same with Rod and Elton, the earlier stuff is the best and most consistent.

I'm adding Robbie Williams to my list.

Talentless primping twåt. I hate everything about him especially his gormless expression.

He's also a massive twåt, did I mention that?

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?
