Songs that have made it onto people's worst list on my iPod...

1. Rebecca Black - Friday. I admit it.
2. Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know
3. PSY - Gangnam Style
4. Olly Murs - Dance With Me Tonight
5. Olly Murs - Thinking of Me
6. Florence and the Machine - Spectrum
7. One Direction - Kiss You
8. Adele - Skyfall
9. Adele - Rolling in the Deep
10. Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
11. Flo Rida - Whistle (sorry... JamesJMH91, I hang my head in shame. )
12. LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem (hmm...)
13. LMFAO - Sexy And I Know It
14. Labrinth - Earthquake (rather swift change in opinion there...)
15. Rihanna - Please Don't Stop The Music
16. Lady Gaga - Poker Face
17. Lady Gaga - Telephone
18. Drake - Take Care (I'm actually disappointed with Drake's catalogue of music, while SharePodding songs from my housemates' iPods. I was expecting so much more, from some reason. This is the best of his songs that I've heard and it still only just barely got 1 star on my iPod!)

Friday - So bad, but hilarious at the same time
Somebody that i used to know - Don't mind it, but it gets played too much
Gangnam Style is a guilty pleasure
Meh about Olly Murs
Spectrum's OK, but the Calvin Harris remix is better
Less said about No-Sense-Of-Direction the better
Skyfall is boring as hell
I like Rolling in the deep
I love I don't wanna miss a thing
Whistle.....GET OUT NOW!!!!!
Don't get me started on LMFAO. To be fair though, Redfoo seems a lot more likeable as a person than a singer
Can't remember Earthquake
Didn't mind Lady Gaga and Rihanna at first, but i'm sick of them now
I hate Drake for using the term 'YOLO' to 'inspire' young people to behave badly. However, "Hold on we're going home" is a guilty pleasure for me

I should also add "Wrecking Ball" is a guilty pleasure for me as well. I love the song, but i just don't like Miley and THAT video!

I heard some really awful cover of The Jam's "That's Entertainment" in a Renault advert!

Really cannot stand Neil Diamond's latest single. It doesn't help that Radio 2 keep playing it about 500 times a week!

The following bands and singers are rubbish.

-Lady Gag-a. She only sounds good when singing with Tony Randall. Otherwise, she's crap.
-Katy Perry. Very attractive, but can't sing at all.
-Ka-dollars-hawh. Talentless hack.
-Lorda. Another talentless hack.
-No Direction. I give 'em another year, and they'll be a thing of the past. Harry Styles probably has a shot at a solo career, but it'll be of little relevance because he sucks.
-Olly Murrs. Failed the Idiotest twice; also fails at singing
-Nicki Minadj / Femme de Ménage. I am still trying to figure out whether or not she's human. When she raps, she sounds like she has indigestion. When she sings, it's God-awful.
-Drake. He might be a fellow Canadian Jew, but he's absolutely terrible. Also a bit of an idiot.
-Any contemporary rap act. The good rap was in the past. The rap of today deals with bragging about how much money you have, killing people, and the objectification of women. Why is this considered music? It sound more like idiots showboating about their felonies. Freaking chavs.

Most contemporary music is crap. It's like the junk food of the music industry - pre-processed and not good for you. I'll stick to alt / indie rock and jazz, which features artists that are not talentless hacks.

I realize that by posting this, I sound like an 85-year-old man, but hey, life's like that sometimes.

One Direction/Nicki Minaj I agree

Gaga and Perry (meh, she's alright lookin'.) have a few decent songs.

Ke$ha is abysmal. Whilst SharePoding (go free advertising... except I want to be paid, MacroPlant) my friend's iPod, with an abundance of Ke$ha songs, not one appealed to me. Absolutely horrendous music. How did she ever get popular?

Never heard of Lorda

One Direction's 'Kiss You' is a guilty pleasure... because I had to listen to this almost everyday driving to the beach, seeing as my cousin is a 'Directioner' (is that what you call them) and wanted it played every day , it grew on me

Olly Murs' "Dance With Me" is good fun.

Nikki Mirage's 'Stupid Ho' is so bad it's good. Didn't make my iPod though. No way I'm paying 99p for that crap. The rest of her discography is awful, sorry!

Drake - I am so severely disappointed. I was expecting some decent things from him - my housemate had some Drake songs on her iPod. Only one of them mildly appealed to me but after another listen it's just so, so dull (it's 'Take Care'). Unrelated to my opinion, he looks like a rat. And anyone who was involved in Lil Wayne's love me does not deserve my respect. Or money.

As a massive fan of non-modern hip-hop/rap with great beats and most of the time good rhymes, there isn't much I like these days. I mean, Jay-Z is good... Kanye sold out (Bound 2? Seriously?!)... I very much like Rizzle Kicks... hmm... No thanks.

OK, my iPod has a few 'contemporary' songs, but everything in moderation! I mean, it's like eating McDonald's once every two months. There's plenty of Reggae, Soukouss, and more on my playlist!

I'm honestly sick of Kanye West, and how DARE he say "Rap is the new rock and roll"!

I'm over hearing about him and that wife of his, who's only famous because she's rich and because of....certain parts of her anatomy and has a baby with THE MOST STUPID NAME EVER!

NORTH *bleep*IN' WEST?!! Give me a break!!!

(P.S. @Dr Hindsight. Who's that on your icon? I assume he's some kind of villain)

That's Dick Dastardly! How did you not know that? Everyone does!

Erm, anyway, back on topic. Cheryl's new song 'I Don't Care' is pretty awful I think.

Yeah, that's Dick Dastardly, all right. I'm surprised Mr. Skyline didn't come up with that response. I figured it would be appropriate, given how I have my moments of "evilness" here sometimes. It's a fun sort of evil, though; mostly harmless to boot .

When I was a kid, Teletoon - Canadian all-cartoons cable channel - used to have some older Hanna-Barbera shows like Scooby-Doo and Wacky Races on their schedule. That was bay back in the early 2000s (yes, I'm old). I enjoyed Wacky Races, which my parents remembered from their youth (it originally aired from 1968-70).

Nowadays, they're basically Canada's answer to Cartoon Network, complete with an Adult Swim-like block of cartoons for older viewers overnight. This is strange because a Cartoon Network is actually available here in Canada, but it's a cheap knock-off of the original from the States.

Ben can tell you more about Adult Swim; he's American and all that.

You may now resume your discussion of terrible music, already in progress.

I couldn't answer it Dr...! I am however extremely surprised James of all people did not know of Dick Dastardly!!

I think it's a great avatar (Wacky Races is good fun, came before the Hanna-Barbera studio started producing utter rubbish) Brings a bit of life to the left side of the forum, if all! So many people here don't have avatars or cool image signatures here (oh, you were the first person to win the Deal-Eye bet? I bet you're really proud of yourself.), so it's too much purple!

Speaking of which... Matt, your signature's conked out! Put it back, I made it!

Speaking of the Deal-Eye Bet, is that thing still going on, errr? I offered to pay out a $10 bonus to anyone who won it.

Also, speaking of signature stuff, I used to post images in mine, but they were often way too big, so I stopped. I'm using an avatar for the first time since I was Hawker5ive, a name based on a now-retired Toronto subway car. No one ever understood it, so I changed it to something designed to poke fun at myself.

I think I know why our forum is purple. Most of what we talk about here are reds and blues, and red and blue combined make purple. Makes sense to me.

I see your signature says you're probably the forum's most useless poster, Mr. Skyline. I have to disagree with you there. The real answer is one of two Marks - either myself, or my robotic namesake from Ipswich. I'll let everyone decide that.

Remember when the forum was silver and blue? Them were t'days, eh, lads...

Er, yes, ah, I see, er, worst songs ever. Well, my entry for this morning has to be...actually, it's an entire album by one of my favourite musicians! Sorry, Jean-Michel, but it's -

Jean-Michel Jarre - Geometry of Love (2003, full album).

I remember that. One of the other forums I post on is still in the silver-and-blue scheme. It's a phBB forum, just like this one.

Clarification on something I posted earlier: Lorda is a deliberate mispronouciation of Lorde. Most of you probably know who Lorde is.

An honorable mention to anything Tiesto has put out this year: He's been one of my favourite trance DJs for years, but now he's going in the generic EDM-pop direction, now sounding pretty much the same as David Guetta and Avicii, and using the same old beats that nearly all other DJs just use now!

I've listened to his latest album "A town called paradise" - No trance at all on this album, and all of it just sounds like so many other songs out there. It's a shame to see Tiesto go from being one of the best trance gods of the 2000s to being another David Guetta clone


Electronic music just hasn't been the same since David Guetta went mainstream with his collabs with rappers and pop singers, Black Eyed Peas putting out "I Gotta Feeling", and the rise (and fall) of Swedish House Mafia. Now, EDM has become the rinsed, repeated and recycled pop stuff we keep hearing over and over again

May I offer a couple of controversial candidates for 'worst songs ever'?

The La's - There She Goes

The Killers - Mr Brightside

Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger

See - I'm a proper trend-setter!

Another from my very own playlist. I invite you to join me in saluting...

Captain Sensible - Happy Talk

Justin Bieber Baby! A horrible song.

Birthday Cake // Cibo Matto

I am a fan of Cibo Matto, and their newest album is proper good but, this is...I don't know...someone heeeelp

*Singing in a high-pitched feminine voice*

Baby Baby Baby
