Smash hit songs that you absolutely detest

[studio150]

Every Bay City Rollers' single, any Stars on 45 record, Jive Bunny, Take That and all other boy bands..........

 

[Nibble]

Anything Madness do

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Anything Madness do

Even The Bed And Breakfast Man. ( Not a hit though I guess so does not strictly apply)

Not heard it to my knowledge. Sounds ghastly.

 

[looney]

Blur; lead singer cant sing.

 

[cloud]

Anything by Bananarama, Dexy's Midnight Runners or Madness.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight
Cliff Richard - Living Doll
Captain Sensible - Happy Talk

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Anything termed "R'n'effingB" these days. I blame Boyz/sIIMen and their tedious ilk - making serious, sincere faces, standing about in suits with 3 or 4 mates, looking earnestly into camera, moving arms about like penguins, singing "oh yeah baby" a lot. Makes me want to punch myself in the face.

 

[The Modfather]

Blur; lead singer cant sing.

To be fair to the Dexys, if we are talking about Top 40 Singles there are very few 'Smash-Hit Songs' that I have actually liked over the past 40 years or so. But Kevin Rowlands VOICE and that fiddly-diddly dungaree wearing nonsense......

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Brought with the music from early 50s....was a Teddy Boy so I loved all the early R&R....even up to the 60s....loved 'Glad all Over' 'til Palace stole it....as with the St Pauli song.....is there anything they won't knick and claim as their own........thankfully more people liked Freddie M and Queen than disliked them....but there again it's all a matter of taste!

 

[Cpt. Spavil]

anything by coldplay, one directon, olly murs, the wanted, Jedward, all x factor rejects, cheryl cole, Kanye west, anthing thats R n B or hip hop orinatated

 

[u'vebeenamexed]

any version of MacArthur Park.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I have an extreme dislike of Bohemian Rhapsody...... its an operatic dirge with crap lyrics and about 6 minutes too long. I was cursed to be a regular Top of The Pops viewer while it was no.1 for about 3 months and that song took up about 20% of the show. Grrrr...

Agreed- the biggest load of pretentious rubbish ever recorded.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Flo Rida, Adele, Lana Del Rey, One Direction etc can do one.

 

[jevs]

Bryan f***ing Adams, Everything I do.

hate it and it stayed at number 1 for a million years.

This, along with Chris DeBurgh's lady in bloody red. Chris DeBurgh did some excellent early stuff before he bought that out

Red red wine by UB40 and most things by U2 are high up there along with anything by fine young cannibals

Blue by FYC is an exception though!

My Sharona by The Knack. f***ed me off big style. Joan Armatrading, whilst the music left me indifferent, DLT's 'hillllarious' habit of calling her Joan Armourplating gave me a disproportionate loathing of the Valerie Singleton clam jousting Birmingham based chanteuse.

 

[Washie]

Anything by One Direction, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Lana del Rey, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato (I'm just listing all the people fangirls obsess over now) and most songs by Nicki Minaj with the exception of Starships.

This with f***ing great bells on it.

 

[Nibble]

To be honest, my list would be bloody endless. Just too many to mention. Simply Red would have to rate high up as would Coldplay. And funnily enough The Stone Roses, cannot stand their particular brand of mumbling, shoegazing drudgery.

 

[chez]

Gotta agree with Moggy on Love Shack. Quite easily the most annoying song ever.

Never had The Roses down as shoegazers myself Nibster. I was however a big RIDE fan, and partial to the odd Slowdive track too.
