Tracks you wouldn't pollute your CD player with

[Grez]

Thanks to Steve (aquapiranha) here's a thread that you can vent your spleen with... and we might even start a few arguments too!

Do they annoy you, are they just noise, trite, pathetic, do the lyrics get on your nerves, are the artists talentless idiots or what?

6 of the "best" from me...

Savage Garden: "Affirmation" - a trite, pointless and boring list with nothing in the music to give it a lift.

Cat Stevens: "Days of the Old School Yard" - any song with the lines "When we had simplicity/And when we had warm toast for tea" should have been consigned to the bin before it was unleashed on an unsuspecting public.

Genesis: "Whodunnit" - OK, Abacab wasn't the best of their albums, but this was the pits. Was it you or was it me/Or was it he or she/Was it A or was it B/Or was it X or Zee?" TBH, lads, I couldn't give a pair of fettered dingo's kidneys.

Reel 2 Real: "I like to move it" - Really? Well why not take this rubbish with you when you do? This gets on my nerves SO MUCH and not only because my daughters form time-to-time sing it incessantly.

Chris de Burgh: "A Spaceman Came Travelling" - Tell me Chris, why would he come so far just to sing "Da--da--da--daa-da-da-daa-daa-daaaa." Please no more.....


And while we're on Christmas hits:
Kirsty McColl/The Pogues: "Fairy tale of New York." - Sorry guys, this has all the garbage in it that makes my beloved folk music reviled throughout the world: Inverted-snobby pretentiousness that oozes from every groaned syllable. Absolutely awful.

I might have a further rant later...

[Reid Malenfant]

Anything from X factor winners (or losers), in fact probably most commecial "pop" over the last 7 - 10 years

Ob La Di, Ob La Da what's that all about then.
Eminem and his ilk, utter rubbish.
Country and Western full stop. SHITE

not that I have a CD player anymore

[DanJennings]

I woke up one morning to find the missus using my system to listen to Bucks Fizz.
I honestly thought I was still asleep and having a nightmare.

Anything by Alan Holdsworth.

Holdsworth is a stunning guitarist I tend to perfer his music with other artists/bands but Secrets is well worth checking out

[Alex_UK]

I've got a 2 year old daughter, and a nutty wife - there is no limit to the depths of crud that goes through my system!

Personally, though, there is very little that I would say I can't stand, with the possible exception of James Blunt - I don't know why, but I just hate his stuff with a passion, and he annoys the tits off me whenever I've seen him in interviews...

[Macca]

James Blunt - yep one of the worst things ever. I think he knows it as well but I'mm sure all that cash makes it easier to live with...

Also banned on my system - The Smiths, the Beautiful South, REM - hate 'em with a passion

Chris Rea and Chris De Burgh

What a nice pairing Drivel
