1. Stronger - Kanye West
2. Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's (WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT APOSTROPHE ABOUT?)
3. She's So Lovely - Scouting For Girls
before you think about replying, i'm right. these are the three worst songs to have been released this year.
craz frog
with that beverley hills song. that wins every year, irregardless of when it came out.
Hoosiers - Mr A
closely followed by this..
You're so good to me, Baby baby
I want to lock you up in my closet, where no one's around
I want to put your hand in my pocket, because you're allowed
I want to drive you into the corner, and kiss you without a sound
I want to stay this way forever, I'll say it loud
Now you're in and you can't get out
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabuuolos
You're so good to me Baby Baby
You're so good to me Baby Baby
I can make you feel all better, just take it in
And I can show you all the places, you've never been
And I can make you say everything, that you never said
And I will let you do anything, again and again
Now you're in and you can't get out
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me Baby Baby
You're so good to me Baby Baby
Kiss me gently
Always I know
Hold me love me
Don't ever go
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me Baby Baby
You're so good to me Baby Baby
You're so good
..disaster by Avril Lavigne
You say it's the worst song...
...yet you know all the words?
Hmmm....
Number 2 is the worst thing I've heard in about a decade
Bloc Party- Flux
Awful, awful song, and I've got a soft spot for both albums
And also whatever God awful dance song it was that had lyrics about licking lollipops and such
What's with
all this Flux hate? I like it. More interesting than anything on their album past the first four tracks.
Nah
It is really bad. I hadn't heard it when the first hate thread appeared on here and just presumed people were being hyperbolic or indier-than-thou.
But no, it really is just that bad.
No, it's really not.
We could go on like this all day!
agreed ^^
dull and desperate
reading about Kele's fixation with shit pop, r and b and dance, and the rest of the bands apathy towards it, I'd be on my way if I was in that band.
didn't like it at first,
but heard it on the radio about an hour ago and it's really grown on me.
much better than their last between-albums single anyway.
no its not
you big cockcuntwankanimalcollectiveanddavidthomasbroughtonaremyparentsandilovethemandihateallothermusiccockwankhead.
oooh
errrrrr
aye
yes, i was extremely dissapointed by that song, i was expecting something more in the format of Hunting For Witches... although they did release that 'I Still Remember', that was a piece of shit... they have the potential to be so much better than that
I really like Flux :(
Definitely
agree about 'Stronger'. You can't just sample the hook from a song that is on literally one of the best albums of all time then add nothing of your own to the song save your sub-par rapping skills and expect to get away with it.
No.1 single and No.1 album
I'd say he got away with it
Yeah
but... he shouldn't have expected to.
Ethics isn't about what you have done or what you do do, its about what you ought to do.
And he ought not to have had the gall to write that song.
When did this become a discussion of ethics?
And you thought Kanye West of all people wouldn't have the gall to write something, anything?
I didn't think he wouldn't
I'm just saying he shouldn't.
It's musical ethics. You can apply ethics to anything. Like if you apply Kantian ethics to it, and it becomes like a universal law...
Then everyone would be ripping off other people's hooks into much worse songs, it wouldn't be right.
I mean sampling is fine, it's creative (see Paul's Boutique, etc), but that's not sampling- that's actually thievery because he adds nothing of his own to it, he in fact detracts from it by slowing it down a bit.
Fair enough
but then you have to define what you mean by "get away with it". Its within the law and permission to use the sample was freely given. So it wasn't thievery.
He hasn't detracted from the original song because that isn't possible objectively; you may feel otherwise but its not a universal given.
I still think an ethical argument is grossly misplaced here. As said, permission was given by those in the position to and lots of people (not me though) enjoyed the song, so he "got away with it"
OK yeah
I see what you mean. I just mean 'get away with it' on the level that: people think this is acceptable, or in any way good. I think he should have been hounded a lot more- maybe other people don't think Daft Punk are so important? (but in my opinion they were at least one catalyst for the whole dance-punk thing)
He doesn't detract from the original song per se- what I meant is he makes the hook sound worse in his OWN song- I suppose that is adding something of himself to it actually but personally I think it is a negative contribution- at best what he does to it is ambivalent.
And I will concede that getting into an ethical argument was maybe not the best idea, its becoming increasingly irrelevant. It started out as a botched allegory and then I just thought it would be fun to continue...
Well for what it is worth
I do agree that it is an awful song
the lyrics are fucking appalling as well.
"you could my black Kate Moss tonight"
"well i'd do anything for a blonde dyke"
BUH?
it also seems to be an exercise in name-checking corporate whores from times past. i'm waiting for the bonus version to come out - the one with the vanilla ice verse.
if robbie williams
sang 'you could be my white naomi campbell tonight'... the world would implode.
For his next song
Which instantly recognizable hook of times past do you reckon he'll be ripping off?
I say he's going to do a song called 'Hurts' that will be based around 'Everybody Hurts' by REM.
Or a song called 'Oops' which samples 'Oops I Did It Again'.
Number 3
should have its own thread.
plain white t's
for sure
Neon Bible minus No Cars Go
oooh^^
the controversy.
and the older version of that
is better too
And the award for worst perspective of the year goes to..
It's like them people who are all "OMG donnie darko is the worst film EVER," when I bet they aint never done seen Prince of Space or Pumaman.
Fergie
Big Girls Don't Cry.
I'd rather get the clap than hear it one more time.
the hoosiers
the one about ray
i like a chorus in one of their singles.
that's the ONLY reason they weren't included.
Hey There Delilah isn't that bad
The apostrophe isn't that bad.
what?
yes it is.
but their new one is even worse.
HATE IS A STRONG WORD
BUT I REALLY REALLY REALLY DON'T LIKE YOU
what.
i think
hey there delilah looks comparitively a lot better because of thier new single and actually comes across as quite sweet (sort of, lOZL).
but worst song of the year? got to be mika that fgrace kelly one, simply because i know that its been in my head for far too long this year and its in there again now.
Best lyric ever
'Hey There Delilah' wins
although on the radio this morning they played a new one by take that. That could make a late run.
Agree with 2 and 3
That Plain White Ts song is just excruciating, while Scouting For Girls are just wrong, full stop. I'd also like to add I Luv U by the Ordinary Boys and Two Lovers by The Twang to the (s)hitlist.
The Ordinary boys
Errrr,
Was "I love you" by the terrible ordinary boys shit or is that my imagination? Like totally rubbish, especially when you think they did "Maybe someday" a hell bent classic indie anthem.
AHHH!
It was
'I Luv U' actually.
Makes it even worse.
Yeah but
Dizzee's song of the same title is the shizzle
as was 'week in, week out'!
sigh.
I think (1) is rescued
by the vid with Bonnie Prince Billy
totally agreed on #2 and #3
especially "hey there delilah". it's the only song i can think of this year that has consistently caused me to switch channels on music TV / switch the radio off.
\
all of them
No.1 Deffo isnt worse then alot of the songs released this year
especially when it's loud, its good fun to dance to.
Butttt
2 & 3 almost deffinate
Fegie - Girls Don't Cry
Operator Please - Song About Ping Pong
The upcomming X-Factor releases (im psycic)
& the New oasis song just for sheer lack of creativit, ripping off Rolling Stones & their guitar riff from lyla... well done.
One obvious inaccuracy in the above list
is that 'Song About Ping Pong' is one of the BEST songs of the year.
HOW TO SAAAAVE A LIFE
yes, this
Let's Dance To Joy Division.
My worst ones
That dreadful Sean Kingston one (it is geniunely awful)
How to Save A Life
Flux
That Trash Fashion song that recived 0/10 here
Plain White Ts
The Enemy
The Housiers
Same Jeans by The View
....well you get the idea
i would also add
this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zbaJ3U7CMY
but then i saw this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKQgDY0pZ68
O GAWD
I actually forgot Suicidal!
I hate that song and that boy so much!
The song is rubbish but...
it's somewhat redeemed by the Stand By Me bassline.
At least he's ripped off something with a bit of class.
Forgot about
the Sean Kingston and Fray songs.
Also Mika. Anything he's put his wretched voice to!
James Blunt 1973
Poor guy, all he wants to do is make us happy with his music.
die
Ugh
The Twang
Kate Nash]
Mika
kate nash is disqualified.
?
eugh
how can you forget the new Spice girls song?!?!?!?!?!
oh, true.
i love it when super-rich people are like "wah wah headlines".
it makes me shiver
and it's like a soft porn video...
I think Sporty Spice is the only one with ALL her clothes on!!! and she's the one who hasn't had a baby! Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) is miming it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
obvious!
what happened to the "good" music they used to make?
I'm quite generous when it comes to liking bad pop music,
but what?
The video is almost worse than the song. Victoria Beckham makes me want to cry.
Oasis - lord don't slow me down
absolutely fucking terrible
and and and
the song with Ne-yo and Rihanna... ugh what an awful song hurts my ears...
Where's
Torn On The Bloody Platform????
Interpol
No I in Threesome - it's really REALLY embarrassing.
I don't really have much
to add, all the real awful ones appear to have been mentioned.
Mika and Plain white T's would probably be the real worst ones tho.
some drunk lad said i looked like Mika once.i wasn't happy as a)i look nothing like him and b)he's horrificly shite.
You utter fool.
It's one of the better songs I've heard this year.
Um..
Clearly anything that Mark Ronson has put his dirty fingers on.
i agree
with all the choices plus the hoosiers
There's a couple of serious omissions from this thread:
One Night Only - You And Me
Pigeon Detectives - Take Her Back
I don't understand how anyone can get too flustered about The Hoosiers when there's genuinely offensive stuff like this polluting the airwaves...
that Gwen Stefani song with Akon on it
"woooooooh, yeeeeeeeoooo"
wrist-slittingly fucking dire
How on earth
can you hate that? It's sublime, summery pop music.
you genuinely like it?
that song, more than anything else listed in this thread, Scouting for Girls and Plain White T's included, makes me reach for the off switch on my radio. I cannot stand it, not even for a second. Odious, mindless, irksome pap.
I genuinely love it
It's a good pop song!
I'd dance to it....
Scouting For Girls need to die
I've replied with the same message already, but my hate for Scouting For Girls must spread. "So, simply put, I'm not the greatest fan of pop. To elaborate, most pop makes me cringe in a seriously uncomfortable kind of way. I've recently been afflicted with a job that has me driving most of my day, and resorting to Radio 1 to keep me from falling asleep at the wheel. The reason? One song amongst a whole bunch of crap recently played on that station, namely, Scouting For Girls - She's So Lovely....how the hell can an annoyingly mindless piece of noise have "She's a-lovely, she's a-lovely, etc X 1000" be the chorous to the entire song!? How can one group of inbred, dribbling idiots come up with a song that makes me seriously wish I wasn't part of the same gene pool they crapped from?"
...
Sublime, summery pop music is fucking shit, you massive gay.
Sorry guys
Battles - Atlas. Turgidity epitomised. I just sat through their performance of it on Jools Holland, praying through gritted teeth for one of two things: a) something interesting to happen in the song b) a power cut.
why does music have to be interesting?
from
nathan barley
Maroon 5 put out a truely awful piece of music.
It really is/was so bad.
see:

Obviously
Soulja Boy - Crank Dat
Terrible on many levels.
CRANK DAT ROBOCOP
Amazing song, easily one of my favourites of the year. Shame on you!
