[Music] Awful Music You have heard and had to put up with

[jakarta]

Working behind Bar in a Northern Working Mans Club (3 mild pumps, 2 bitter NO lager by order of t'Committee), this horror came on the Juke box every half hour as Girlfriends and Wives had just been allowed in (Snowballs and Rum n' Pep from memory)

Ha ha, I actually liked that one as a 17 year old very much in love at the time.

If thats the worst you've heard, you've had a charmed life

Coldplay, 80's Genesis, post '81 UB40, U2. Oasis (bar 3 or 4 songs) Anything on ITV in the last 20 years. COldplay, Maroon 5 , Mumford and SOns, COldplay, U2, and . . . COldplay.

Only the headphone leakage from some idiot on the morning/evening train commute. No idea what the actual tracks were.

No great memories of Owley Wood Club as I also got a black eye one evening trying to separate two teenage girls.

To explain we had a function room at the back of the Club which had been rigged up for a 12-18 Amateur Boxing Night. Our Hero was 18 and BOTH his girlfriends turned up to watch with obvious consequences...

He wouldn't go to sort out the ruck in the Foyer and I was volunteered to go (his reluctance should have told me something). Immediate (and in retrospect not very bright) decision with these two Chavs screaming and scratching one another was to step in and try to get them apart - come on girls lets calm down followed by an elbow in my eye which soon shut.

All my mates thought it hilarious I had been beaten up by a girl of course.

Mind You they should meet Mrs Jakarta!

The premier league tune that plays after the home teams anthem/theme/song has finished. Played just to remind fans how they now own the game and not the fans.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Anything by Chas n Dave and Status Quo

Whilst at university I worked as a barman.

It was during the “height” of Avici.

Terrible..

The ‘teenage girls music’ that was played on Amazon this evening when it switches from football to the adverts.

Working in occupied houses the homeowners sometimes have their radio on, I enjoy some background music and don’t mind Radio 2 and Radio 4 doesn’t really bother me.
One radio station I really dislike is Heart FM and one house I worked in for 3 days had Heart on all day.
At the time Ed Sheeran was constantly on the radio with the really annoying Gallway Girl, to say I f***** hate this song with a passion is an understatement

 

[BrianWade4]

I seem to be the only person that can’t stand Primal Scream, The Manic Street Preachers or Elton John

Don’t worry. We won’t have to put up with it much longer....

I remember thinking at the time at Barbie Girl would be a flash in the pan, never to be heard again.

How ****ing wrong I was!!

Oh and All I Want for Christmas is You (to **** right off Mariah)

I used to work in a office where music was only allowed at Christmas, and only if it was Michael Buble because that's what the bosses liked. Felt like maybe there was a hidden camera recording the psychological torture for some reality TV show.

Very trendy.
You forgot to mention Pink Floyd post Barret and more so post Waters.

I worked in supermarkets in the 80s and 90s and had to put up with a looped tape of Christmas songs from Mid November till NYE every frigging day from 7.30-7.00!
Trumps all of yours

 

[Goldstone1976]

Anything by Stockhausen.

Beecham got it spot on when he was asked if he’d ever conducted anything by him: “No, but I believe I once trod in some”.

 

[Boroseagull]

Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler. Early 1980's at 'Photography Today' exhibition at Olympia our stand (Leica) was next to a multi slide projection company that played the track as their slide show every 20 minutes for 4 days. Hated the song ever since having been brainwashed by it.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Anything by Chas n Dave and Status Quo

Now that's a super group I'd pay to see.
