Current songs that get of your nerves

My current 'hated song' is that 'Chasing Pavements' nonsense.

Feel free to add yours.

.................................................. ..

Anything that sounds like a dance tune from the late 90's - that's suddenly come back into fashion somehow

Robyn - annoying, rubbish

Chasing Pavements - rubbish, doesn't make sense, can't sing

Scouting for Girls - Elvis Ain't Dead - for a start, the song is called Elvis Ain't Dead, and you're singing Elvis Isn't Dead. And, it's rubbish, it makes less sense than chasing pavements, you can't sing, and it's generally a really really bad song. I hate it.

Live Lounge trying to be done by new acts that have trouble singing their own songs, let alone murdering covering tunes that no-one likes anyway. (yes, you, Wombats) Who thought of that one?

bloc Party, they sound the same everytime, and the black guy did the most pretentious interview I've ever read recently, and i hate them even more now. even if they didn't sing the same monotonous rubbish each and every time they release a single, i'd still think they were rubbish

Re: Current songs that get of your nerves

Sorry to offend. but i hate all the new york wrapper and drum and bass and sampling techno ford fiesta music. I call it music thats produced in bedrooms.

I like to dream there are real song writers real musicians real bass players real drums that have skins waiting bidding their time just waiting for all this for this awful trend to pass. Just wish this ripping other peoples music of would just stop. Good music will surface again never mind i no i am alone in my thoughts. I will keep listening to Bob Harris. I do see a light at the end of a very long tunnel I think.

sorry only my opinion.

That Soulja Boy track.

drum and bass
Hate? I think its amazing. It may be produced in 'bedrooms' which I'll admit some of it is, but you can't deny that it does sound incredible in a club/through a sub.

I totally agree that this is a terrible tune, but search youtube for "travis barker soulja boy" and watch one of the greatest drummers in the world, doing his thing.

The version of soulja boy they play on the radio is actuially the Travis Barker (ex Blink 182, +44 drummer, and all round awesome producer) remix

I can! It's a load of boring, irritating, mindless drivel. There, I knew I'd find something good to say about it!

Re: Current songs that get of your nerves

Also, anything by the Scissor Sisters.

When they appeared on the scene, their 1st song was ok.

But everything since is awful, and getting worse. Time for them to hang up the mic's.

Re: Current songs that get of your nerves

I actually don't really know what 'current songs' there are at the moment ... as hardly listen to music radio; just kind of hear about stuff I might like by word of mouth, burnt CDs from mates, downloads, internet reviews, podcasts etc etc

My advice would be to stop listening to daytime Radio 1, you're too old for it anyway, and stop watching chav crap like GMTV
- you'll soon find there'll be fewer current songs that get on your nerves

Re: Current songs that get of your nerves

I know I am an old git but the entire output of the local radio station fits the bill.
Kate Nash does stand out though!

You know, that's a good point! Even during the periods in the 80's and 90's when the charts were full of nothing but dire Synth pop, indie or Rap, I still knew roughly what was were! Now I haven't got a clue who's in the top five never mind ten!

Yes I'm of a age where you need TOTP to keep up with what the young one's like and you feel you should. I still love my jazz but I'm listening to Our Place In This by Fridge which most certainly ain't jazz.

Allthe very best

'The Enemy - We'll Live And Die In These Towns'

The most god awful attempt of being The Jam....It's just a complete rip off of Going Underground....makes me cringe just hearing the opening cord.

note to anyone who'll listen, do not pay to see the enemy live. I had the misfortune of seeing them open for Stereophonics in Cardiff end of last year, suffice to say if you think it sounds crap on the radio, you aint heard nothing yet! I almost walked out before the 'phonics came on, quite glad I didn't but it's seriously the first gig I've ever felt like I would be happier outside

Yeah, it all sounds like it's from the late 70's and early 80's. Exactly the same. And I hated back then too.
