Songs you are fed up of hearing

[Thebumwhowalks]

I had to switch the radio over to another station when they played the Stone roses' 'Waterfall' today, good record, but they play it all the time, frickin fed up of hearing it, they need to get some other songs of theirs on their regular playlist.
I'm not exagerating, the radio stations that play rock and pop songs seem to latch onto a song by a band, and then play that one song to death.

That very stupid FUN song "We Are Young"

Singers are just making annoying songs just for the sake of being annoying.

[Thebumwhowalks]

I just saw the post at the bottom of the first page was complaining about that song, I haven't heard it.

[bullets]

Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night". I don't enjoy her music and thinks she's a terrible singer. It seems like whenever this song come son I can't get to the radio dial fast enough or get away from it.


Also Jessie J's " Domino" . This is so awful it's almost comical. Her voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard.


Adele's "Rolling in the deep" . I like Adele but talk about overkill. This is worse than when No Doubt came out with " Don't Speak".

[crenk]

That song is With You by Chris Brown and I am fed up of this song.

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Eminen & Rihanna "Love the way you lie"

I actually liked this song once. Talk about overexposure.

i agree on this song, and ironically its every part but the chorus that i actually like

ok, first one for me is definitely Nirvana's 'Come As You Are', I was a big Nirvana fan, but even when I first heard this on Nevermind, it was never one of my favs, thought it was ok, now, I can't stand hearing it, and it gets played on the radio a lot. I don't know why a DJ would pick this out of all the Nirvana songs to play on the radio, it is depressing as f.
The lyrics about not having a gun...the riff which is the same as one from a Killing Joke song, and sounds dreary....it just goes on and on and on....stop playing this frickin song please, it is sh**e.

Anything by Bruce Springsteen...don't know what it is exactly, some kind of boring worthiness vibe I get from his records just rubs me up the wrong way, I have to change the station when this dude comes on the radio these days.

Roxette's 'It must have been love, but it's over now', why anyone would want to listen to a record like this under any circumstances is beyond my comprehension. Sure, maybe you are going through a break up and you want to get a bit self indulgent as part of a cathartic process, but surely you can pick a better record than this? Bland crap.
If you are going through a break up, listen to something else ffs, get this record off the radar, I am sick of hearing it, although I haven't heard it for a while I admit.
But I truly hate this record, it stinks.

T.Rex's Hot Love, I like a fair amount of T.Rex songs, and when i started listening to them in my teens, I thought this one was fine, but holy sh**, I can't stand it now, another one that goes on and on and on, but this one deliberately makes an effort of trying to pull a 'Hey Jude' with the record breaking repeating outro, and only succeeds in being completely annoying as a result, in a change the ****ing record kind of way, as if the needle is stuck, the preceding song is pretty bland too.


the Special's 'Ghost Town', now this is a good record, but I cannot stand listening to it now, and it's because of that Father Ted episode. If you have not seen it...they organise a church disco and the DJ loses his records or something, and only has this one, so the record gets played ad nauseum for comedic effect throughout the episode, but it absolutely killed the song for me, seriously, not that i was a massive fan of it in the first place, but i liked it when I'd heard it now and again, and appreciated it's sound, but now, it depresses the hell out of me, haha, just makes me think of that depressing disco in Father Ted, and the intro got played over and over so many times...killed it's mysterious allure.

That Paul Simon song, 'You can call me Al', I don't know wtf this song is about, and I don't wanna know, just sounds like a lot of twee sh**e to me, I know it was recorded years before Quantum Leap, but even it had been recorded afterwards, and they told me it was an affectionate tribute to that show, i would still hate it, and that is the kind of thing that can sometimes make me like a record where i didn't much before.
Paul Simon did well to get Garfunkle in to sing his best records, because, I don't know how to put it more succinctly, but Paul Simon has a totally punchable singing voice, twee and cloying and annoying, somebody punch him please and make him stop singing please, please somebody punch his wee chubby face in please.
I honestly don't know how someone can get in the house, switch on the record player, and choose to actually put that on and enjoy it, absolutely boggles my mind that there are people who do that.

"Happy Birthday to you" Like nails on a chalkboard.

[Thebumwhowalks]

Another one...Joy divison's 'Love will tear us apart', I have to switch over the radio whenever this comes on, I can't bear to listen to it, in fact, these days I can't stand listening to JD at all.
I've owned two of their albums(one a 'best of' covering their whole career), but now I can't stand hearing the deep, booming, morbid sound of Ian Curtis's voice, and it's not even really because he committed suicide...there is that modern band called 'Editors', and the guy sings just like Curtis, I can't stand listening to them either because of that kind of sound, just really depressing sounds from both bands, puts me on a complete downer.

[Thebumwhowalks]

and another, 'Sledgehammer' by Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel who once said that any piece of music written under the influence of drugs is an invalid piece of art, which is one of the most nonsensical things I have heard anyone say about popular music, that process of writing helped it evolve immeasurably!
just sounds like he freaked out one night when he tried 'em, haha.

[iwtv]

Well there's all kinds of horrible music they play at work that I can't even name. Other than that:

As already mentioned, Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On
Also, if I could die without hearing Linkin Park's In The End, that would be super
And the number one overplayed song of Ever: Evanescance Bring Me To Life

[Captain_Obvious]

I Love Rock N Roll - Joan Jett + Blackhearts

fml I get irritable.

[Godzilla2000]

Anything by pop artists like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc. etc. Not that I choose to listen to them anyway though.

[BigSams50]

Any Song by Lil Wayne, Drake,or Tyga

[lordofthenerds]

Anything Dubstep.

[ComicChick]

We found love in a hopeless place - rihanna

[Lady Marion]

Everything from Aura Dione, especially "Geronimo"

Agreed.

[Xiaoxiao20]

No!!

[Fudgie]

Nicki Minaj in general. She's overrated.

[Boom]

"We Are Young," "So Call Me Maybe," and anything by Bruno Mars.

[Marvolo]

Anything involving Pitbull.

[Darkness Falls]

Starships - Nicki Minaj

[Godzilla2000]

There are some artists that I just don't need to name songs for that are pretty self explanatory, like Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga.

[PSYLENTGuardian]

I mentioned "We Are Young" here earlier, and I agree with someone that it was everything but the chorus that I was really able to stomach. With Nicki Minaj's "Starships", it's the opposite. I only like the chorus.
