I've never really liked it but it's probably forever spoilt by too many student nights where it was the last song of the night and everyone sang it for ages until the lights came up.
Sit Down by James also fits into that category.
Seconded on both counts. Sit Down in particular... "I've got a really good idea, instead of dancing to this song, let's all sit on the dancefloor in warm puddles of lager and dog-ends!" "Hey great idea!" :roll:
Actually Hey Jude has reminded me of another song I don't like by a band I love - Elbow's One Day Like This (the end section of which is [strike]a rip-off of[/strike] inspired by Hey Jude). I don't completely hate it, but it's probably the last song of theirs I'd want to listen to.
:-o Blasphemy! Difford and Tilbrook are one of my favourite songwriting partnerships - I'm not usually too bothered about the meaning of lyrics provided I like the music, but I just love the way all their songs tell a story. The band as a whole were great musicians too.
And Pulling Mussels From A Shell has the best one-note guitar solo ever :D
Thought of another one - I love hip hop, but I can't stand bloody Boom Shake The Room by Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
I'm talking about the massive superhits that got played a zillion times on the radio and everybody knows, so the only Radiohead song that is really applicable to this thread is Creep

You mean like Shiny Happy People by R.E.M. Quite an apt name for a group as their songs send me to sleep.
I don't mind their other super hit - Losing my Religion. Not sure I need to hear it anytime soon though.

REM got massively overplayed with songs like the above and Everybody Hurts etc. Early albums like Murmur are really good. Might still send you to sleep though!
Anything sung Simply Red,
Bill Withers Lovely Day
Womack Womack - Tear Drops, I walk out of shops when this is played.
Back 2 Life - Soul to Soul, anything by soul 2 soul really.....
Chris Rea - road to hell
Perfect - fairgound attraction
All rap music.
It don't take much for me to hate a song.
I had to comment on that. All in that list is a check for me, also I'd add to it 'Dub be Good to Me' by Beats International. The period in my life when they were all hits was not a comfortable one. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Others:
"Everything I do I to it for Hue" - Bryan Adams,
"Bat Out of Hull" - Meatloaf
"Paradise by the Dashboard plight" - Meatloaf
"A Whiter shade of Vacuous Drivel" - Procal Harum
"Wonder W@nk" - Oasis.
"Uptown Grill" - Billy Joel
"I will always love ewe" - Witney Houston
"Eternal Flume" - Bangles
"Cock Arround the Clock" - Bill Hayley and his Commets.
and out of your list I can listen to WonderWall, but it has to be the Mike Flowers Pop edition.
Love the Bangles S.Hoffs rocks my world, eternal flame is not my fave, something to do with the triangle ting every other second
yeash, dub be good ain't good either.
Adding to the list is Tin Tin Out Here where the story ends... the sunday's version is excellent though.
Stirring here....
Flock Of Seagulls.. Wishing I had a photograph
I love the song, the lyrics, just that I have to turn it off because of the repeated electric drum clang clang clang clang.....

All, yup!
I'll also add anything by Heather Small,
anything by Jon Bon Jovi, anything by Aerosmith, all hip-hop, and a fair dose, but not all, of Rachmaninoff.
Not that any of these songs in this thread could be mistaken for classics.
Except for Queen. WHAT?! No Flash Gordon? You don't like the Flash Gordon soundtrack?! *gibber*
Actually add Perfect Day to the list. The BBC, ruining perfectly good songs forever in the name of "charidee" since 1997
People making children's charity songs out of songs originally (allegedly) about drugs is just plain wrong. It's a bit like All Saints turning Under The Bridge into a soppy love song...

Glad you said that! For some reason, it has always been one I've not really cared for too.

Electioneering, for example, is a corker :)
After OK Computer though, I couldn't give a monkey's.
That's generally the problem though, these songs get overplayed and adopted by the masses.
Or featured on adverts.
Which basically turns everything into Moby.
In that case, this cack: -
all the hip hop tracks that got huge in the 90s tended to get on my nerves. that one, Ice Ice Baby, Jump Around, You Can't Touch This etc.
one exception being Warren G - Regulate, I really like that

Well, true, but I felt better having a mini-rant at the state of music today, even if it didn't make a lot of sense where I did it :p
Fixed that for you :p
Loved OK Computer from start to finish, but couldn't get into Kid A and the subsequent albums at all.
Stop. I still can't get this one out of my head: :)
Games List 2016 - Games List 2015 - Games List 2014
Yep, not a fan of Queen but I like that song.
Nope, it's probably the song of theirs that winds me up most. :lol:
I used to love that song, until it became the tune for a massive teleoperator campaign in Portugal? now I'm just sick of it.
I like a lot of Queen songs, but Somebody To Love gets right on my tits.

Aural diarrhea.
There are more, but this is the first one that came to mind.
*Edit* Some more:
Mad World - Gary Jules. Cynical 9/11 cash-in, and tooooooo slooooooow.
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton. Mawkish w@nk.
Yeah, classic songs. Not abortions.
Cowell's output is so f**king dire it almost makes stuff from previous (s)hit factory Stock, Aitken, and Waterman sound good.
It's still the best football song ever written though.
Baddiel and Skinner, on the other hand, can go f**k themselves with an iron stick for their attempt.
