[Music] Songs that are allegedly classics that you REALLY dislike

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

surprised Springsteen hasn't had a kicking yet

The River

(I love Born to Run, so I'm not being snide).

 

[marlowe]

California Girls : Beach Boys
Obladi oblada : Marmalade

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Madonna - Like a virgin
Queen - bicycle race
Stevie wonder - signed, sealed delivered
Diana Ross - ain’t no mountain high enough
Dolly Parton - working 9-5

Excellent shouts. I say that as a big Madge fan - like a virgin sounds like it was written by a 50 year old glamour photographer for his 16 year old model to sing during glamour shoots

Me too and it’s Melody Maker not NME

You old fart!

Not sure how I missed not adding this to my list, I’m also not sure how this thread has got this far without a mention of it.

Some of are still traumatized.

Do you recognise these naff lyrics. Clue: talentless vocalist with chronic blocked sinuses.


Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time, don't lose it.

Looks like Duran Duran. But aye aye aye aye aye like Duran Duran. Not that particular song, I'll admit.

The Riddle - Nik Kershaw

[He must live off the Radio Sussex royalties alone, they literally play it every single show, forever].

Soz @HWT.

 

[herecomesaregular]

I’d put Hallelujah by ANYBODY as a dull repetitive DIRGE!

I love Leonard Cohen though, especially in his later concerts with full backing

Best ever Glastonbury moment was Leonard Cohen (afternoon slot), a thin crowd, with the sexiest 3 women in front of me dancing to Dance Me To The End of Love. Perve central but man it was so damn beautiful, as the sun set (if memory serves).
