Jimi Shandrix Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 22 hours ago, Al B said: I just have to jump in here from reading through this thread. I get the general point you guys are making, but that's an absolutely terrible example to pick in order to illustrate it. By that I mean, you've picked one of the most highly respected, admired and influential guitar players and songwriters alive, generally considered to have very few peers in guitar, playing a song that is a key track from an album that sold obscene amounts of copies, that has influenced countless successful guitar players to even pick up the instrument in the first place. A song that moved Brian May to put out a near-10 minute video analysing and talking about the brilliance of it. I absolutely 100% get anyone who doesn't like it or has no interest in it at all, but appearing in this topic is like mentioning Pryor/Connolly/Chappelle/Hicks in an "Astonishingly bad comedian" thread. Also on a separate point, it's always annoyed me when people criticize Friday by Rebecca Black in things like this, and also the stick it got at the time. It wasn't a singer putting out a single, It's literally a parent who has bought her daughter a "come to a studio and record your own song" experience for her birthday, and then the company put it up on youtube so you can say to your pals "hey i've got a song", except that particular one went viral. It would be like someone getting their 15 year old kid a track day experience at Knockhill for your birthday and then the world hating them for thinking they were a rally driver. Finally, the songs on this thread by BrokenCyde and Attack Attack may be close to the worst things i've ever heard. Sir, I'm afraid I cannot in good faith back you up on Extreme. They were atrocious. But Rebecca Black? f**k yeah. Awesome tune. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenHibee Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) An incredibly annoying song which seemed to resonate with 60% of the UK female population for 4 years: Utter garbage. Edited July 6, 2020 by AberdeenHibee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Mycar Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Love this album but the chorus on this song makes it belong here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Phil Collins' entire solo output makes me glad I wasn't alive in the '80s. It's so bland & beige to the point of being offensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Back in the heady 2000s Britney Spears married Kevin Federline, one of her backup dancers. As a result of this union, K-Fed, as he was known, managed to release a couple of songs. They are not good. In fact, they are bad. Highlight of this one being the lyric "I just want to see some titty, or a little bit of kitty" This is a self-justification song, it's hard to take someone trying the braggadocio of rap when he's bragging about spending hsi mentally ill wife's money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Also, soap actors releasing singles was a big trend in the 1990s and Eastenders star Sean Maguire had a string of pop hits. However, Sean decided to develop his sound and in 1997 went on a Britpop direction. I'm sure there's a few other pop stars who tried to go all 'Parklife' around the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I think this is widely regarded by many as a classic but for me is simply a dreadful song. The organ is a fucking depressing horrible instrument! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so bland & beige to the point of being offensive.
