[Music] Iconic songs that YOU think are crap

[Mellotron]

Wonderwall.

Painfully dreary and boring. The drumming is dreadful. Bland.

Also it’s endlessly covered - badly - by every street busker and open mic singer with no imagination.

Fully aware I’m going to get pelters for this.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I detest Mr Brightside by The Killers

 

[Weststander]

He has a tremendous range.

And they have made some delightful pop.

I’ll sleep well tonight.

In the comments, someone likens them to The Cure and The Clash.

Possibly just because they’re British and owned musical instruments.

 

[Is it PotG?]

The Best - Tina Turner

Absolute pony.

 

[zefarelly]

Great band, countless amazing songs.

HOW ARE YOUR EARS THESE DAYS?

Not even the Mike FLowers Pop version?

I love music. If I want talent I'll watch a rerun of Opportunity Knocks.

Electronic is just the instruments. It isn't a ghetto

Oh Harry, Gary and his daughter Persia are superb on that...

 

[Weststander]

The most over rated singer EVER? Controversial and likely to bring some abuse

Pleased to see that Coldplay haven’t featured yet

As a kid I loathed country and western. Lumping them all together.

Broadening my tastes with age, I think Johnny Cash is special.

 

[clapham_gull]

Do They Know It's Christmas ?

Quite remarkably (and appalling) played as a Christmas hit (alongside Slade) and I'm even seen people dance to it.

 

[Gwylan]

Bohemian Rhapsody
Stairway to Heaven

Both of them can do one

 

[shingle]

Wonderwall, Bohemian Rapsody

 

[Weststander]

HOW ARE YOUR EARS THESE DAYS?

What was that?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Come on Eileen.

A low point for a proper talent.

 

[Swansman]

Also these

On 12 pints, linking arms.

I love Country Rock, Country and Western not so much. Cash I find so samey. Another iconic musician that does nothing (apart from annoy me ) is Joni Mitchell

 

[Happy Exile]

Hotel California.

One of the folk hanging around with David (shag anything in sight) Crosby. Depressing I thought.

I much preferred Joan Baez and Mary Travers of that ilk, amazing vocalists.

 

[The Clamp]

Elton John, Your Song. Rubbish.

 

[Weststander]

Hotel California.

That’ll anger some old timers
