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

Hallelujah is acceptable, just about, but Imagine is arse cancer.

As for Wonderwall and Shape of You, I quite agree. Ditto Galway Girl and Thinking Out Loud. Actually anything and everything by Ed Sheeran can die in a fire.

I'm grumblingly okay with Cohen's original Hallelujah, as he doesn't oversell it like Buckley did. But it's overplayed and over-covered. It's not a bad song in and of itself, it's just been ruined by overuse.

As for Ed Sheeran, please, somebody swing a Jackson Rhoads at his vocal chords.

There's worse.


Not only is it something that was already an old joke within minutes of Triggly flapping her arms and screeching's virality, what in the name of bloody hell is that thing that's been done to the vocal track?

Seriously, if you want edgelordy shock metal, S.O.D. did it better 30 years ago. And their stuff is funny as well. "I'M PASSING CLAWTS THE SAAHHHZZ OF BASKETBAWLS!"

My vote is for BrokenCYDE, btw, but it's been brought up several times.
 
This video and song are so cringey bad they're used as a rick roll to troll on jamband related forums and sites.

 
Anything by The Millionaires. Can't believe nobody mentioned them over the course of this thread, they were relatively popular in the Myspace days from what I remember.
Their entire discography is filled with songs like this, right down to the shitty auto-tune.

Corey Feldman's songs are pretty fucking horrible too. Here the former child star tries to larp as the lead singer of Korn.

This. Like really, what is this? It's like if Chacarron had a real lyrics and stopped being tolerable. And somehow it was third in US Billboard Hot 100 in 2003.

Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and John Lennon's "Imagine" and any of their legion of covers are both awful songs. If I ever push someone into oncoming traffic, it's because they're playing or covering one of those.

Let's throw Wonderwall and that Ed Sheeran Shape of You song onto the bonfire as well.

I don't think those songs are bad, just overcovered. As for Hallelujah, it's just that the Shrek version is so legendary nothing can hold a candle to it.

I hate Hallelujah so damn much. It's awful. And it's been used by a ton of TV shows for their big dramatic heartfelt moment.

Did Cold Case ever use it? At the end of every episode they had to do some lame music montage thing with what I guess was the "ghost" of the dead person all happy their case was solved and some music from whatever era they were murdered in.
 
I've always thought Kelly Clarkson is absolute schlock, but in the last decade, she's really stepped up the schlock train. I think it really starts after turning 30 and becoming a mother, and it sure hit her hard.

(generic motivational song here)
Kelly doing her best Avril Lavigne impression, which even Avril wasn't able to pull off by that time:
