Black Hole Sun.

It's a tedious, grating and ridiculously repetitive dirge.

[–] dwemthy@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

One day I realized I had been hearing it at least hourly on the radio while driving delivery and some switch in my head flipped. Can't stand it. I want to never hear it again. I've heard Black Hole Sun more times in my life than I want to and that amount needs to stop getting higher

Sweet Home Alabama

When I still listened to the radio in the car, it started on one station, so I switched to another rock station. It was playing there too, on a different part. Switched to yet another rock station and it was also playing that terrible song!

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My biggest beef with Sweet Home Alabama is, if people are ever singing along with it, or if they're singing it at karaoke. I should mention that I live in the South, so these people singing it are from the South, and even though the song itself isn't racist, the way these people emphasize certain lyrics, it sure sounds like they want it to be racist.

The whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

I Will Survive - Something about this song just makes me murderous.

Don't Stop Believing - By the gods, please do stop. I love Journey, but just don't play this.

Bohemian Rhapsody - I think I'm just really tired of it. It's been held up at such a pinnacle for so long and played far too often and I just can't anymore. I don't care. Turn it off.

Hey Soul Sister by Train.

[–] justsquigglez@leminal.space 5 points 21 hours ago

Currently, that shitty pop song that sampled "Blue" by Eiffle 65. It was already a perfectly good club song (imo) and there was no need to ruin it.

Knocking on heavens door - guns and roses

[–] proudblond@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Gonna go against the grain here with something classical: Pachabel’s Canon in D. I liked it when I was a kid, for at least the first 10 or 20 times I heard it, but since then I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and I’m not even a strings player. I’m not exaggerating either; it’s in so many commercials, weddings, movies, just over loudspeakers in the grocery store.. ugh it’s inescapable. Pretty the first few times, sure, but it’s so aggressively bland.

The cello has to repeat the exact same 8 notes throughout the piece.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

I didn't have a solid answer to the question until I read this. Absolutely gets the worst response from me.

First two chords and I'm like "nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

I was just thinking how much I hate that song. Not enough to automatically put it on the bottom, but it's close.

Radio Ga Ga by Queen.

I had to listen to that shit played on loop for a week straight when the cruise ship I was working on chose it to be used to constantly stress test the PA system. Any time I hear it now, I get extremely angry and want to break something.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Sure that was a job and not a psychology experiment you were subjected to?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 11 points 1 day ago

Shake it Off by Taylor Swift.

When it came out, I was a regular gym-goer. I would spend an hour and a half at the gym three days a week and hear that song at least three times every single time I was there. And then you'd hear it anywhere else that played music as well, like stores. It was just too much.

"I'll be riding shotgun, underneath the hot sun".... It's the most aggressively boring thing I've ever heard

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

I feel the same about "Daughters" by John Mayer. That song sounds like my will to live gently sapping away.

[–] Outwit1294@lemmy.today 3 points 20 hours ago

KPop. I can’t stand the boy bands and the weird fan culture.

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun by Sheryl Crow, or any song where the artist is doing that annoying kind-of-singing-but-also-just-talking thing (NOT to be confused with rap, I do enjoy lots of rap and hip-hop). It's hard to explain. I think Red Hot Chili Peppers has a song where they do it too, and it annoys the fuck outta me.

[–] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 20 hours ago

Moves Like Jager, a song which I can not stand.

Thankfully not played everywhere anymore.

Game Over by Falling In Reverse

Just listen to the first line and you'll understand

Anything written by Sabrina Cuntpunter.

What a toxic, abusive, petty little shit she seems to proudly declare herself as.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Her and Olivia Rodrigo are my go-to for teaching my daughter "how not to be."

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 15 hours ago

Dunno if she wrote "thumbs" or the collab with Alan Walker, which I always thought were kinda based, but she was just starting to get popular then maybe. Really sad if she's let the fame go to her head that badly.

A soul is a terrible thing to waste. :(

[–] Outwit1294@lemmy.today 3 points 20 hours ago

Her lyrics is always implying that she is the queen and all men in her life should worship her. Then she will discard them for the pettiest reasons.

Dancing Queen by Abba. Something about the baseline makes me feel physically sick (literally, not figuratively). Can't bear it.

Anything by Morrissey. The histrionics are annoying enough but I think he's an objectively bad musician. He seems to just meander around with no discernable melody. Like, what are you even trying to do man? I'm pretty certain the actually catchy Smiths songs were written by someone else.

Runner up: Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish. If it comes on at a place of business I will immediately walk out of that business.

Most Justin Bieber songs but I despise his early stuff. I heard baby way too much back when you couldn't escape it

Edit: I thought of an even worse one, pon pon shit from cyberpunk. That song is the only reason bodyheat isn't my go to station in that game.
