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

[BN9 BHA]

Ironic by Alanis Morissette

Ed Byrne explained it far better than I ever could.

I’m going to be shouting at the radio when it next comes on.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Whitesnake? David Coverdale. From Redcar? Legendary American Anthem? Tremendous care and attention went into the curation of that anthology.

(But you're certainly not wrong).

Not much gets past you.
I didn’t actually know Whitesnake came from England though, every day a school day I think this song probably sold more in the States.

When my youngest lad was about 3 years old, we drove past a chap had a very similar look to someone in Whitesnake/ Bon Jovi etc, the lad said to me “ look a man with ladies hair”

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor. Absolutely bloody hate it.

Possibly down to living opposite a pub that had karaoke every Friday and Saturday night and hearing it murdered by various drunken bints who thought they could sing at least twice every week for about 5 years.

Very good shout

For some reason the French seem to have adopted it also

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

As much as I like The Stranglers I’m not a fan of this song.

Wouldn't make my top 50

 

[BN9 BHA]

Wouldn't make my top 50

I sort of imagine many people that like it couldn’t actually name another Stranglers song.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Worst lyrics ever, sung by a charisma devoid vocalist.

Yes and that other classic

I think I've just seen a ghost
I'd rather have a piece of toast

Or some shite like that

 

[Alwaysblue]

Everything by oasis

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I hadn't realised how pale and interesting so many on NSC are. You might have thought that time would have mellowed them, but no they're still sat in the corner reading a copy of NME from 1986.

 

[Weststander]

Yes and that other classic

I think I've just seen a ghost
I'd rather have a piece of toast

Or some shite like that

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.

 

[Weststander]

Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

 

[BN9 BHA]

Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

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.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

this won't make me any friends on here but Sweet Caroline is ****ing ****. As is Don't Stop Believing, btw

Another that really suffers from being over played. I’ve always preferred this version


Sultans of Swing being mentioned is interesting as the studio version is pretty dull but the live version on Alchemy has a totally different energy.

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.

My brother and his wife did a 6 week road trip of California, Nevada and Arizona.

They said that piece of crap was played on the various radio stations every hour.

I’m still reading July 1979

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

JCB song-Nizlopi.

AWFUL

 

[Icy Gull]

I’m still reading July 1979

Me too and it’s Melody Maker not NME

 

[Brighthelmstone]

As mentioned by others, anything by The Beatles and or Oasis

 

[Seasider78]

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

 

[Randy McNob]

surprised Springsteen hasn't had a kicking yet

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

1981. Come on!
