What's the worst song you've ever heard?

The acoustic version Eric Clapton does of Layla.

It's complete baby boomer garbage. It's fucking lame wine tasting music for people entering the twilight of their life.

It's almost like Eric decided "What would my song sound like if played by a total fag at a sub par open mic night in a coffeehouse?"

I don't usually take music seriously. If I don't like I song I'll just turn it off or I'll just plug my phone into my car radio. This song I can't escape regardless and the band makes me angry. It's the only band that makes me angry.

To be honest I'm more upset that this is probably the song that most people will recognise K.Flay for (Fellow inauguration-surviving Kiwis might better recognise her for this song though)
 
Honestly, most Pop "RnB" from the mid to late 00s. Fergie, Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, Minaj. Etc. etc.
Why listen to that shit when actual decent RnB has existed for decades?

Brostep and Trap are the single worst fucking genres to ever hit mainstream though. Skrillex Bangarang is the worst, it's just so fucking bad on every level.

it's not often that I actually find a song offensively bad, but this is one of them
it sounds like they're trying to cover King Crimson and they're fucking it up on purpose
 
So many many years ago I looked up the worst song, and found this.
It's two songs my by scientist in a lab that take the things in music that people find the most annoying (children singing, jingles ect.) and things that people like the most in songs and smash them to make The most wanted/unwanted song. They both suck and are proven the worst by science. They truly are the worst songs I have ever heard.

No matter how bad a song is on the radio,I think at least it isn't that shit song made in a lab.

this was the project of two Russian-American artists (Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid) who conducted consumer surveys about art in various countries, and used the results of those surveys to produce paintings that by rights should be the most popular and least popular art for those countries

"The Most Wanted Music" and "The Most Unwanted Music" was an expansion of the project into mid-90s America and into the medium of music; they hired composer David Sulzer/Dave Soldier to write and produce the actual music

personally, I think "The Most Unwanted Music" is fucking hilarious, like Frank Zappa at his most wayward combined with an extra layer of total absurdity

Dream Street - They don't understand
Preteen boys singing about how parents just don't understand Pokemon. A great example of a "written in a boardroom by 60-year-old marketing execs" song.
Oh, they don't understand

They say we're just playing games
That it isn't real, but it's what we feel
And they say it doesn't make sense
That we're just wasting time, and they wonder why

You know we got our own special language
That only we can speak
And parents never know
Just what it means, oh, no

They don't understand
How we communicate
Oh, so many things
That we do and say
They don't really get
What it's all about
No, they never can
Understand Pokemon

I can't explain if they don't know why
You see, it's ev'rywhere; well, they must be blind
"Pika-what?" and "Geo-who?"
It just goes to prove they don't have a clue, no, no

You know we got our own world to live in
And we're so far apart
To make it clear
I don't know where to start, oh, no

They don't understand
How we communicate
Oh, so many things
That we do and say
They don't really get
What it's all about
No, they never can
Understand Pokemon

No

So late to this and I skimmed loosely so may have missed it.

So my step uncle did well for himself and is a hippy. At 55 he retired bought an entire warehouse of sight unseen records. His entire life since then is flipping them listening to music and smoking pot and sipping a beer. I ain't gonna lie, nice way to retire.

Every time we visit I can take a record, cost aside. I got a second press of Morrison Hotel and I fucking love the Doors. (Little jelly my bro found a first press White Album.) It's worth a clip but not crazy money. I just adore it and he knows I really love his era music.

So he said to dig in the cheap section I found... what I said is the worst song ever. And to sell you have to run and play it to know it comes clean. I couldn't give details as I had a few glasses of whiskey, but its a high end system. I found it. The worst song I knew.

We put this on

He just stared confused saying it was so many attempts of styles and how hard it failed in all respects. This song fucking sucks. Marky Mark is a lol cow. It is so bad it's become a family meme, when things are rough but we don't want to share details we say "good like sunkist".
