My all time least favorite: "Garden Party" I would rather drive a truck than listen to it

Horse With No Name
Seasons in the Sun

Most stuff done since the '80s, not kidding, but with particular emphasis on all rap, all dance music (especially that soulless robotic techno and Euro-crap with all the made-up sub-genres that sound the same) and all electronica, urban R&B Autotune bubblegum - god, what CRAP!!!

And all that emo sensitive-white-boy power pop too. Makes me puke, not just cringe.

P.S. hating Lady GAGa (which I do) doesn't make anyone "closed minded". That is an empirical fact, and I will bet anyone here that thinks otherwise that I listen to far more different styles of music than they do.

Its hard to buy that bolded statement after reading everything written before it.

Thank you, Its utterly ********(cant think of another word to describe it) to say ALL music in a particular genre is crap, rap, electronic, gaga, or otherwise, lol.

The only genre thats really hard for me to find enjoyable music in is country, and even then there are still a few songs that I like.

Don't know the name of the band but whoever recently covered Free Fallin. And since I work at best buy I have to hear the song at least once every day I work. It's so bad I'm thinking about quitting or trying to get less hours.

 

[Spraeg]

Wonderwall.

Jesus. Sweet. Skull&!*$%@. Christ. I loathe this song. I have never played this song, and if I ever do join a cover band, I absolutely refuse to play it.

 

[dave64o]

Ugh, I didn't think of Wonderwall until I saw the posts above but that's another one that obliterates my brain cells.

The one that came immediately to mind is Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band. Pardon me while I stick forks in my eyes while I vomit. Hopefully that will help take my mind of both of those songs...

#1 cringe inducer for me is 'We Built This City' by Jefferson Starship.

Wow, lotsa good answers in this thread.

Is this it by The Almost? If it is, I agree it is quite annoying.

Pretty much anything by Lady Gaga or any number of hip-hop artists make me cringe!

After spending the last 8 years in a coverband that played Jack Johnson and John Mayer tunes, I'm actually pretty psyched to be in a band that does Lady Gaga. Bad Romance just kills on the dance floor..

Yep, my musical integrity went out the window long ago.

For me, cringe worthy is any song where the band just can't get obvious harmony or lyric lines right. My old band did "Slide" by the GoGo Dolls. The lead vocalist would always screw up the opening verse. 8 years together and he NEVER bothered to learn the right words.

And any band that attempts any Journey song with a sub-par singer.

THIS:

Muskrat Love makes me ill. Any version, recorded by any artist. Afternoon Delight is also on my list of awful songs that defy rational explanation as how such tunes could ever become pop hits.

 

[jtb]

'Lucky Stars' by Dean Friedman just makes me want to kill stuff.

 

[Rico_2212]

I can see that alot of you must have played weddings at some time or another, but after 5 pages noone here has even mentioned "Proud Mary"?

 

[CaptainWampum]

Guns and Roses. All of them, but especially Sweet Child of Mine.

 

[Slax]

Two words. Funky Town.
