Do you have a song (songs) you can’t stand ? *Title edited by GNHQ*

Anything that Elton John sings. He has a truly miserable voice.
But so many of the songs listed on this thread are favourites of mine; especially Bill Withers Lovely Day.

Power ballads have me switching off. They start innocently enough, then the voice gets louder and shoutier until they are in a frenzy. Makes me totally stressed.

Also get annoyed by anything that repeats to much. Police are bad at this ......message in a bottle......message in a bottle......message in a bottle......message in a bottle......message in a bottle......message in a bottle......message in a bottle......message in a bottle.
Switch off!

Same here Kate love the Paul McCartney ones and ABBA’s. Can’t stand most country music.

Goodness. I love most of the songs you all hate Hey Jude is my favourite song of all time.

I just don’t like Over the Rainbow, it’s dreary, maudlin,and I just have to switch it off,
Come on Eileen , Hey Jude, that goes on and on ,
Let it be. Another dirge by Paul McCartney,

Mistletoe and Wine. Totally sickly.
Shania Twain - Man! I feel Like a Woman. I turn off the radio.
You'll Never Walk Alone. Total drivel.
Anything, absolutely anything by Gilbert O'Sullivan - if anyone can remember him!

Spot on, Georgesgran. Come on Eileen and I can feel my teeth grinding together! Then there's that appalling screechy noise made by the Jackson 5 to the discordant Crazy Horses! OMG ?
And Paul MacCartney straining to shout "Back in the USSR". And the nauseating "Honey, I miss you (?) - Bobby Goldsboro. And what about René and Renata? ........awful songs are endless.

Come on Eileen for me too - just awful. Don’t like ABBA or anything by Cliff Richard.

Loving this!
I dislike 'Wonderful Tonight' because it's all about the writer, describing the daft woman who dotes on him. I was astonished when it was played at the funeral of a friend - who I thought of as an independent- minded woman. Maybe we all hear different meanings in songs!
And of course Delilah (she made me do it)
And I don't like Imagine either (how hard did you have to try to imagine no possessions John?)
Jolene (although I love lots of Dolly Parton's songs) - why do you want such a weak-minded man?
I used to think 3 Little Birds rather trite, but it is one of my GCs' favourites, and now, as I think of the little birds singing, I can see how it could be a song of hope.

Anything by Bob Dylan as they all sound so depressing.

Nooooo !! How could you?

I dislike any and all “Christmas “ songs.

Surprised to see Fairytale of New York so many times on here. I love it!

You Were Always on my Mind is one that I hate.

That made me think of “You were on my mind.” By Crispin St. Peter . Anyone remember that ? I dimly recall a bit of a snogathon to that tune ........
Sorry, off thread.

'Come on Eileen' by Dexys Midnight Runners, although tbh I think it's the video I loathe, more than the song!

Jane10 it made even less sense to me as a child. I thought the chorus was “ yer losin’ them, yer losin’ them!

I absolutely can't stand 'Jerusalem'. It makes no sense to me. I know that's heresy but I really don't like it.

Miss Chatelaine, by k.d. lang. We were having a meal in a restaurant once, and it was on a loop which went on and on and on, such a dirge.

I believe I can fly, R Kelly

GrandmaKT I love Fairytale of New York

I love most of those mentioned. I have always hated "McArthur Park " and "Raindrops keep falling on my head".

You Were Always on my Mind is one that I hate.

I don’t know half of these songs!

Christmas songs: I don’t like The First Nowell. It goes on and on and is quite a boring tune. Also, I dislike those soppy American songs like White Christmas and Winter Wonderland.

Lovely Day by Bill Withers. Shops always play it in the summer and that last note just goes on for ever and does my head in when I'm shopping.

Imagine by John Lennon a boring dirge IMHO.

I agree with the OP...I can't stand Cry me a river, either...

Nor can I bear to hear

Mull of Kintyre

All around my Hat - Steeleye span

Don't cry for me Argentina

Fairytale of New York

I feel Love - Donna Summer

You’re right Witzend, that’s up there with the worst!
