You're talking about my ska band's core audience there Admittedly it's not my favourite from the set, but it is surrounded by absolute bangers so I'll let it off. The one song we all loathe and will never play is My Boy Lollipop, which seems to be getting a right kicking in this thread There are many songs I dislike but few that I actually hate. Freebird is one, Layla, Cher's 'Believe', but for me the #1 unflushable turd is The Mavericks' 'Dance The Night Away'. Fingernails down a blackboard.

Also anybody claiming that Hooky was a great bassist needs an intervention... Peter Hook - Great Bassist for sure He had his own style which was certainly influential so the lack of “technical chops” or formal musical education becomes moot New Order already had a reputation (career) before “Blue Monday” I think I was 11 years old when I purchased the 12” single of “Blue Monday” and I already owned Joy Division records ( as did Dad) I can’t think of a more influential band in the New Zealand indie music scene than Joy Division 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky L Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I particularly can't abide that faux Irish twaddle that Ed Sheeran plopped out.. Galway Girl? "Oh I had a little fiddle with an Irish man, in the back of his Transit van. He said "I'll do it to you everyway I can". then hit me round the head with a frying pan." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The one in our setlist I dislike at the moment is Bad Moon Rising. Not that it's a particularly bad song, but there are so many great CCR songs and everybody plays this and Proud f'ing Mary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, whichever presenter played it they never told us who iit was I was hearing . Honestly , it is dated crap . Depressing is an understatement . Morrissey has the enthusiasm of a children's entertainer compared to this drivel . One depressing monotonous tone. She does shout randomly in places , but I can honestly say it was the worst song ever played on planet Rock. I don't miss hearing it .. It's just downright horrible hippy shyt3, mainly due to the monotonous female vocal. This is what you get when people avoid the draft. Some people talk about (Jefferson) Starship as if it was several steps below its predecessor. I'd rather have We Built This City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version i just listened was not a song but karaoke for keyboard, guitar and bass. Maybe good for ''psychodelic fusion/acid jazz''.

Japhet Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I think it's more genres of music that I can't stand. For instance, the pseudo operatic wailing of Bruce Dickinson just instantly boils my pi55. I don't mind a bit of heavy music but don't go all 'Pavarotti' on me, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Kravitz has a terrible song with no bass and Kid Rock has a song with the guitar solo in the wrong key. Train are just terrible but once decided to re-record a Led Zeppelin album in full note for note. That did not need to be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Regarding metal briefly ; back in the '80s ( maiden mentioned already) it was all priest ,Queensryche , helloweeen , king diamond etc Then Venom ( and others) reversed the trend , and now so many sound like an angry Alsatian . Back on topic ; Son of a preacher man ...awful..awful..awful I nearly forgot you keep me hanging on . I purchased a cover version from the Rods . Not even tongue in cheek They seemed to be actually serious about that version 🤮 Edited April 18 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard Kid Rock, Lenny Kravitz and Train on planet rock White Rabbit is def among the worst tunes that get regular spins on PR. Just whizzed through the playlist of the last week and I surprised myself with the realisation relatively few songs actually bug me enough to turn off the radio including Werewolves of London (just extremely repetitive), Crazy Nights/Strutter/ Love Gun by Kiss, Ol Rag Blues by Quo, Small Town by John Mellencamp, Blue Collar Man by Styx, Love is a battlefield by Pat Benatar and Radioactive by The Firm. Come to think of it White Rabbit might be worse than any of these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope my vaccination from being exposed to it keeps it out, and I hope this Russian weapon of madness inducing pain doesn't leave a wake of mad people here. It's on YouTube and it's called "Trololo". If you find it fascinating and amusing you are standing too close to the hellfire.

We love them!" It's one of the mysteries of the universe how Jefferson Airplane, one of the best and most challenging bands of the 1960s devolved through the 70s to emerge as Starship, one of the worst and least challenging bands of the 80s. I too can not stand this tune,Jefferson Airplane were garbage as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
