Which song do you hate the most? - Air your anger.

Now that the internet has memed it to death it's impossible to go back and hear it like it's real music, but I swear "Africa" was a very cool song to hear on the radio back when it came out—and still cool to hear until just a few years ago. Toto were great musicians and songwriters, so their songs really stood out from the other Casey Kasem Top 40 stuff (though there were a lot more smart-sounding songs in the top 40 back in the '80s). Don't listen to "Africa" for a couple decades, then go back to it. You'll kinda like it.

People forget just what fucking amazing musicians they all were/are. Toto in terms of sheer musical skill were the equal of the likes of King Crimson or Yes, but because they put out (really really good) sing-along pop singles some music fans don't give them the respect they deserve. But ask any serious rock musician how they rate Steve Luthaker or Jeff Porcaro and they'll tell you they're up there with the very best.

Toto fact: In "This is Spinal Tap", released in 1982, the band mention that their previous drummer died in "a bizarre gardening accident". In 1984, Jeff Porcaro, Toto's drummer, died in a bizarre gardening accident, suffering an allergic reaction to the pesticide he was spraying on his roses.

Anyway, this isn't a thread for saying what bands you like. This is a thread for this sort of thing:


99.9% of all Christmas music sucks balls of course. But there is a special place in Hell reserved for any supermarket manager who puts this on the "festive" playlist. It's twee and irritating (much like almost all McCartney's post-Beatles output), but it's the sheer lack of effort evident in this song's production that really makes me hate it. A shit keyboard patch, with obnoxious delay, that he plays so sloppily that the delay goes out of sync in most of the choruses. But I guess he decided that take was good enough and the producer valued his career more than his integrity and said it was good. Just stick some fucking sleighbells on it and it will do. Fucking plebs will guzzle down any pigswill we sell them, why make an effort? Fuck this song and fuck Paul McCartney for recording it. Was "Live and Let Die" too exciting for his veganism-weakened heart? He certainly never wrote anything that good ever again.
 
‘This Is America’ by Childish Gambino/ Dong Lover sounds to me like what you get when you mix Paul Simon’s afrophilic period with the shittiest mumble rap imaginable then blend it into dogshit and hand it over to the woke brigade for over promotion. I hate it.
 
Pink Floyd made so much amazing music in a short period of time. But I absolutely loathe hearing Another Brick In The Wall.

To me it's a very repetitive track, to me not catchy at all. I cringe when the children start singing the melody.
I hate that you can hear their British accents

Anything Katy Perry. I had a dormmate who would never stop playing it and it made me wanna vomit every time I heard STARSHIPS FLYYyyyYYYyy.
Starships is Nicki Minaj and, like many pop songs, it's just canon in D.

About 4-5 years ago local radios were infested with songs by what sounded like racially ambiguous estuary-accented women singing about how hecking valid you are and other shit like that. I'm casting my net wide for this answer and say I hate all of them.

Also anything by Jessie J. I'm eternally grateful that I haven't heard that fucking "money money money" song for some time now.
I was considering putting this song on my original list, but I remembered that I once spoke to a Chris de Burgh fan (they do exist, sadly), who said that "Lady in Red" was the best Chris de Burgh song.
Lady in Red sucks. Storyman and Ship to Shore are my jam though.

Why is it that modern pop music must sound like it was made on a budget. Well, because it fucking was ...duh! It's just so jarring to listen to. Like audio-terrorism. I'm sometimes surprised to find out that an overplayed, cheap-sounding track, was made by a very rich household name. I also hate the fact that this makes me sound old ...wich I am.
I'm sure 'The Only Living Boy in New York" was overplayed, and popular when it came out. But it still sounds 'expensive' today.

I was forced to listen to this at work one day and it made me so angry for some reason. The whining rapping voice that shrieks over a beat with no melody and then the worse part, the chorus where it plays a melody akin to a nursery rhyme. Mind you, the girl who was listening to this is probably around her late teens/early 20s. I told her to shut it off and she got all snarky.

I knew I heard that song before. Or the original version and it's by fictional twin rap duo the Ying Yang Twins.

It's newer but my god this is offensive on a personal level. Some Wisconsin thot was who a toddler when the original song came out turned it into yet another fake "girl power" anthem about how women are all powerful QUEENS who don't need no man. Avoid the Reddit-tier comment section if you're sensitive.

A lot of songs can sound annoying, obviously. But I hate it most when a really shallow song is touted as provocative and deep by its listeners. All it takes is a few piano keys to trick the general population into thinking a song is "heartbreaking." Sia is a good example of boring, empty shit that pretends to be more important than it is and I'm glad people finally turned on her, even if it's for gay reasons.

I'm someone who likes a good controlled-chaos song, as in something that goes completely off the rails, is frenetic, scary, and exciting, yet you can tell there's an underlying structure to it.

A girl I knew just recently tried to show me a fucking Olivia Rodrigo song as an example of this. I think it was License Plate? She built it up by telling me "she goes completely craaazy" in the song. My goodness, it was so fucking flat and boring. Another breakup song where the singer sort of exerts an angry/unhinged emotion.

Maybe it's mean, I just can't stand newcomer fans overblowing the tamest, lamest, and most uncreative stuff — it applies to all forms of media, not just music. I know we all gotta start somewhere, but more often than not it's indicative of a boring person.
