Yep, the 666 album is amazing heavy psych.

+1 for Harry Chapin @bellycaster but mine is Cats in the cradle. He had a way with a song that could make me cringe and be angry at the same time. Nice bloke though by all accounts.

Wonderful fucking Tonight by Eric Clapton, which triggers an involuntary gag reflex and several facial tics.

Or Uptown Top Ranking by Ali and Frazier, which makes me want to fill my ears with quick-drying cement.

Or any number of songs by Shit Jovi.

Bucket

Or Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous by Good Charlotte, the most shamelessly hypocritical band in the world. Complaining about whiny, entitled celebrities before going on to become whiny, entitled celebrities. The same band who also outspokenly supported PETA before appearing in a load of KFC commercials a few years later. Cunts.

Their songs are fucking wank too.

My hate list is lengthy but I can single out 'Locked Out of Heaven' by Bruno Mars. This song makes me want to commit murder and suicide simultaneously.

Bridgehouse

You lot are bloody amateurs!

Not only have you not mentioned:

Whigfield - Saturday Night
B*Witched - C'est La Vie
Agadoo - Black Lace
Could it be magic - The even more shitty Take That version
Mr Blobby
You're Beautiful - James Blunt
The Cheeky Song - The Cheeky Girls
Barbie Girl - Aqua
Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepson
Bad Day - Daniel Powter
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion
MmmBop - Hanson


You've not mentioned a song which would drive me to mass murder:

I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that) - Meatloaf


Sort yourselves out!

Bucket

Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" also makes me want to commit unbiased genocide against the whole of humanity.

Blimey @Bridgehouse , that  reads like my ex-wife's record collection.. It just needs be topped off with Shangalang by the Bay City Rollers and Brand New Key by Melanie and it's a perfect fit. No wonder we didn't last long

The Coral - 'In the morning'.

There just aren't words to describe how shit they are, supposed-scouse-pretty boys with zero imagination and less talent.

Thank you, @Bridgehouse ! I came here to post Mr Blobby. Astounded by some of the perfectly acceptable songs mentioned here when Mr f#cking Blobby had been passed over.

vale

millions. hatred is my superpower. but the more people use a term like 'classic' or 'anthem' or 'genius' in reference to a really shitty vile & unbearable song, the more i hate it.

so clearly 'wonderwall'.

richardhomer

Most things by Blur - Country House in particular....

A lot of songs I really like have popped up on this thread (how could anyone not like the B52s ). I think my suggestion of Keane deserves a reprieve when compared to Mr Blobby, Rock DJ and Scooter. A lot of the 90s novelty pop singles were terrible. cotton eye Joe deserves a mention

Many was the time when UB40's Rat in Me Kitchen was getting regular radio play that I would nearly crash the car in my desperation to smash the radio into a thousand tiny pieces, rather than listen to a second more of that horror. 

Actually, anything by UB40.

Their first album is pretty wild as it happens, echos of Beefheart on the track Skeleton Key. But yeh they took a massive nosedive after that.

This deserves a special mention, the song which is part Sweet Home Alabama by Kid R*ck AKA Ted N*gent junior. (I don't like the original either, but this is so much worser)

Mmmbop is a great song!

I also like Scooter... in small doses.

I agree.  

But no arguments with the rest of @Bridgehouse's list, although I do feel that novelty songs like Agadoo, Barbie Girl etc are kind of soft targets in this context, they were never meant to be "good".  Irritating = catchy, in a way.
