Why dislike a song when you can loathe an entire genre?
For me, it's a genre I like to call 'whiny bitch covers'.
Take a decent song, normally in a minor key, then have a woman doing weak, whiny, 'breathy' vocals because 'it's more artistic that way'.
Bonus points for having it massively soulless and overproduced, or accompanied by just a piano (seriously- it's NEVER an accordion).
Now don't get me wrong, I also despise the melochromatic caterwauling of the baptist choir influenced 'R&B' singers these days, but at least they do their own stuff (mostly).
Here are some examples:
Awesome original: 'Wonderful Life' by Black-
Whiny bitch covers:
Katie Melua-
Clare Sunrise-
Awesome original: 'Reckless' by Australian Crawl. You may have heard this at the start of the 'Death Note' live-action movie on Netflix.
Whiny bitch covers:
The cringe is real-
Jesus, please make it fucking stop:
Awesome original: 'Wicked Game' by Chris Isaak-
Whiny bitch covers:
Marie Digby-
Daisy Gray (bonus points for narcissistic film clip)-
So, um, yeah. You get the picture. Lots more examples but we have a limit of media inserts hereabouts.
This dislike extends to the entirety of this vocal style but scores extra hate points for ruining other people's perfectly good music.
Thanks for reading my music blog.
They we’re mystified that people were pissed off about this, after all, free album, yeah? But it proved almost impossible to delete and left zero mark on the music industry. Many consider forcing a free album onto people and not giving them the chance to decline or delete it to be the high watermark for out+of-touch has-been rockers.

I remember a minor shitstorm when they did an album named ‘Songs of Innocence’ (featuring two half-naked twink fags in a loving embrace on the cover) then frontloaded it onto every itunes account for free.Wintersun said:
Honestly, anything by U2. It's a godawful progrock band and I'm sick of hearing them.
