I've heard James Blunt described as the man who is his own rhyming slang...

This song was the bane of my supermarket employee years, used to play EVERY SINGLE DAY, such an aggravating little ditty, until one day I finally looked it up and was shocked to discover it was Fleetwood Mac!
I don't think I've heard it in a decade by this point, although before then I was finally starting to enjoy some Fleetwood Mac albums and it's evil spell no longer works on me thankfully! I don't love it, but I can listen to it if I spin the album. |

This Charming Man [actually the title of the song is irrelevant, as is its lyrics and music (if you can call it that, it sounds more like the dying throws of an internal combustion engine that has suffered a total lubrication failure and is moments away from terminal seizure) as every song Stephen Patrick Morrissey nasally whines sound the same to me.]
Apparently I also have a low tolerance for songs by Simply Red but as I don't know a single song title by them I can't really contribute anything constructive. |

There aren't really any pop songs I hate with a passion; I'm just completely impartial to them.
For prog/related songs that I can't stand, though:

Pink Floyd's San Tropez.
And there's one Beatles' song worse the When I'm Sixty four and that's Maxwell's Silver Hammer. |

And as for KoL - they are a pack of f**king idiots, but Maroon 5 still take the cake for my rage. That dick singer needs a copy of Contradictions Collapse (Meshuggah) shoved fair down his throat. Edited by Tom Ozric - June 17 2016 at 15:48 |

I couldn't really think of anything until I saw this. Gotta agree that thing has no redeeming value whatsoever.
What?!!? No love for "Fernando" or "Does Your Mother Know" or "S.O.S." or even "Dancing Queen"? Are you dead inside? Do you need a Stuart Smalley affirmation? How 'bout a hug? |

David, Abba? You need to spread your wings more.
Feel free to hate, of course, but I dig it. |

As someone said too many to mention.....but one I always change channels on is 'Dream Weaver' by Gary Wright....for some unknown reason FM stations in the US always play this stinker.

^ It was the perfect 70s pop tune because the lyric was just trippy enough to appeal to ersatz hippies and fledgling New-Agers without being too obtuse and weird. At least that's the excuse I've invented for it.

And we have a winner!
Yup, Mr Big's Just Take My Heart. So mushy it's like he's cooking up some spaghetti. Eewww. Did anybody mention Justin Bieber's Baby? Again annoying as hell.

I finally figured out what the deal is with Nickelback: They're a country band (modern-type, "bro" country) masquerading as a rock band. If you added a fiddle and a pedal steel and took the fuzztone down a skosh, they would be indistinguishable from what you hear on country stations. And Nashville is sticklers for rules - everything MUST sound the same, OR ELSE, because they've run the numbers and they know that's what the people want. |
