Worst songs ever

The Power of Love. I hated it when Laura Branigan did it, I hated it when Celine Dion did it. I especially hated it at a Portuguese wedding I went to when the bride sang it to the groom... badly, and loud. Before dinner.

Grandma we love you
by the St winnifred Girl's School Choir

An atrocity

I can tell you exactly why I hate it... got heartbroken by a girl named Eileen... also stopped me from listening to Rush for a while but I cured that.

"I will always love you" blows pretty hard on its own. That one doesn't need any bad-memory-related help...!

Good point, Tim.. seems a lot of the bands on the list have come out of Canada.. incl. Nickelback, Avril Lyvigne, Bryan Adams... oh, and I'll add one more- Alanis Morrisette.

@Small Town Boy: there's a song called Small Town Boy by Bronski Beat. I like it

I have to offer a small ammendment to the above.

Bryan Adams' "Summer of 69" is a great song, as is Don Henley's "Boys of Summer."


Not that I like Avril Lavigne but at least she writes her own stuff. For that reason alone she's a billion times better than Brittney, Christina, *insert crap female "artist"* here, etc.

Once upon a time Alanis Morrisette was great.

Barenaked Ladies (love'em) are Canadian so I'm gonna look the other way on Nickelback

It's true- Don Henley was good, as was Joe Walsh.. but I don't like them together as the Eagles either...

Telly Savallas - If

Anything by Jennifer Lopez
Anything by David Hasselhof
Anything by The Kelly Family

A lot of this current bunch of rappers, 50c, the game etc etc are complete shite.

Fucking hate Cliff Richard

Worst song ever? I just called to say I love you

Anything that twat Jacko did after thriller

Lionel Ritchie Hello!

The power of love (was it by Jennifer Rush or Laura Branigan??)

Quick Wee Mun, top 5 crimes perpetrated by Stevie Wonder in the 80's; subquestion, is it better to burn out than to fade away?

Come on Eileen and that Ketchup song

@dw - admittedly that 'i just called..' song is rubbish, as is ebony and ivory
but what are the other crimes?
and surely anybody who blesses our eardrums with gems such as superstition, higher ground, the complete innervisions and fulfilingness first finale albums, in fact, you haven''t done nothing, uptight evertyhing is alright etc etc etc (soz can't type atmo) is forgiven two abberationsin a career that has spanned 40 years, no?
anyway, his new album is due out next week, so we shall see

Not really a fan of black or gay singers then huh?

Straight out of Jack Black's mouth in High Fidelity... great film!

It is not their colour or sexuality I am complaining about, it is their lack of talent or judgement at precisely these 4 or 5 minutes during their career.

I second the Lionel Ritchie 'song' Hello. However, it does make for a bit of humour on countless answering machines the world over.

@Wee Mun

No worries dude - I 100% endorse all your opinions myself, but would also say that "Thriller" was crap as well.

I was really just quoting:


I dig Ray Charles, especially the likes of Higher Ground and King Duke.

Indeed, GREAT film. Great book as well. IMHO it is one of the few movies that does the book justice (and improves on it in some ways as well). Alas, this thread is about music.

Hahah you hatemonger

Not a great fan of thriller myself, but it was not bad enough to make the top list.

That facking Whitney Houston Song that stayed #1 for about 4 years wrecked my head as well!!

oh, ok then - will let you off

Is that Peter Fucking Frampton?

Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days:

"...Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears..."

Anyone heard the newest "Doobie dum dum doobie doobie doobie dum" song? The only thing worse than the song is its video. Ã? don't get it, I just don't get it.

have you seen the video to that shite song??? he's completely stalking the poor blind ballet dancing sculptress woman...following her around..she can't even see thet he's following her! then calling her and not speaking.
pervert.
her big brother shoudl smack him one.

kool and the fcukin gang

cherish

so wank

Is that the one where the aliens start singing that cunting awful song in the video? Those bastards at viva keep playing it!! It is truly awful

This may upset the chicks, but anything from fucking Grease does my head in!

I've seen them in concert.

"Walking on sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves
If your name is Katrina, then you hate this.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEE ARE YOU WAVING KATRINA?

Well? Are you?

AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

See who knows these tits on a bull German songs:

' ...es war ein knall, rotes Gummiboot...!'

Or everyone's favourite:

'...Türlich, türlich, sicher dicker Türlich türlich, alles klar...'.

I love that. Sorry but I do. That is a class bass line.

don't know that one, but i know the gummiboot song - i think it's quite sweet

Even though I just bought one, I think the Katzenklo song is the absolute worst German song ever. Stupid song sung by scarily whisker-faced ugly guy.

YES! These teeny-boppers with no talent are on VIVA all the time! I don't understand how VIVA can play such crap and then show Pocher's Top Trash 100, which is hilarious, by the way.. especially the clip with the little mexican kid who looks like the devil and sings "aaaaYhaaayhaaa yaaaaaa aaaaaa"

A good rule of thumb is any song "Featuring" someone else is going to be utter crap.
Christina featuring 50 cent, Sean Paul featuring Ru Paul, Moby featuring Gwen Stafani, etc.

And I'm sorry, Johnny Cash is terrible. Every one just jumped on the 'he's dead-he's cool' wagon.
Willie Nelson. Bad.

And that song that they played over and over on MTV a while back that was a remake by a girl had the line...
"ain' nothin gonna breaka my stride. Nobody's gonna slow me down." Yep. I agree. It was terrible too.

fuck off profundo, Johnny Cash is tops man!!

i shot a man in reno...

just to watch him die

Johnny Cash does rule, so think of another one, profundo

Yeah baby yeah!!!

How about that whiney crap they call Keane

Roy Keane?? The cork knacker??

Absolute pish!

I think the band's name is Keane but I can't stand that shit. Or Texas either. Or Seal. Ur ur ur Ur ur ur! I'm a Seal

or facking those whining bastards coldplay!!!

I would swap places with Seal... Purely from a supermodel girlfriend point of view, not the shitey skin on his cheeks!

I can't believe that Shania Twain hasn't been mentioned on here.
Her ode to masturbation 'Party for one' is particularly dreadful.

I'm pretty sure someone mentioned her, but she's worth (or not worth?) mentioning again. She is truly the epitomy of crap. She's also Canadian...

I would shag her

Ooh! Have a new one.
What's up by 4 non-blondes. I fucking HATE that song, and everytime I've gone to Murphey's for karaoke, someone's sung it.

Didn't read this whole thread, so I might not be mentioning anything new here, and I certainly hope not!

Absolute crap:
DJ BOBO!!! And the guy is still winning awards or something.
Him and that scooter (?) guy.
There should be a law against them. Or at least their CDs should have that parental advisory stamp on them. I think they can do more harm to the youth than marylin manson with that shit.

Anything by Fairground Attraction or U2

@ Joe

I have a feeling you're gonna get shit for that U2 comment!
