On Galway Girl, I hate it when you're at a wedding and the band play it live and the DJ plays it as well.

Songs I never want to hear again:

Nickelback - How you remind me
Proclaimers - I'm gonna be (500 miles)
Ronan Keating - When you say nothing at all, Life is a rollercoaster
Nelly Furtado - I'm like a bird
R Kelly - I believe I can fly
Anything by The Script

donegal_man · 21-07-2020 12:50pm

"Honey" by Bobby Goldberg. Half sung, half spoken, all tripe

its_steve116 · 21-07-2020 2:28pm

Any of Ellie Golding's tracks

Hangdogroad · 21-07-2020 9:11pm

I'm Yours by Jason Mratz. Hate it with a passion.

riclad · 21-07-2020 9:22pm

I only hear ever one song by the script on the radio, they had one hit.some songs are just overplayed by certain radio stations. Any Jon Bon Jovi song. I like Dido, she has a beautiful voice and she pronounces every word clearly.
No one should play bobby goldsboro, s song Honey, ever again unless as a joke.
Gilbert ó, Sullivans song Clare.
It just sounds weird now. About a 12 year old being in love with her uncle.

No man. It was defo late summer 96. I can be certain of that because I got my LC results at the time.

I believe he died a few years back.

You are right . 1995 and 1996 are kinda like a blur to me, two great years back to back . I did put “ish” at the Nd of 1995 as I wasn’t too certain

Things went bang and wallop in 1997 - end of Brit Pop, Fr Ted etc. Things got a bit meh and Spice Girls really took over along with that fat dancer from Take That

There was a definite dip in quality from 1996 onwards. 1995 was an excellant year for music but from 1996 onwards there has been a downward slide save for the few exceptions here and there.

You're beautiful: James Blunt.

Galway Girl, Fields Of Athenry, Ireland's Call.
Any Provo song.

Anything by AC Dc - over played on juke boxes in bogger bars

..
In the air tonight - Phil Collins (most of his tunes bar the cheesy Easy Lover - that’s actually good )

Enya - the amount of RnB and hip hop punks who sampled her Whale music is crazy (likewise the above Phil Collins tune )

Overplayed songs in general.

Santana - Smooth. Great song but so overplayed I'll need another decade or two before I can hear it again.

Easy Lover, think of it as a Philip Bailey song and you can consign Phil to the dust bin where he belongs.

Enya - I don't like samples and just ignore them. They make me like the original better.

Galway Girl, - overplayed

Ireland's Call. - a song both sides can hate equally and with good reason, bland as f***

Fields Of Athenry - The only good version is the Century Steel Band one where they use the tra la la from the Banana Splits in the chorus.

bigtimecharlie · 25-07-2020 1:25am

The problem is that radio stations have a set list.

Let's play something from guns'n'roses so "Sweet child of mine" gets played ( I'm a huge gnr fan and there are much better songs than this).

The Cars, so "Drive" gets played, what's wrong with heart beat city.

I stopped listening to commercial radio year's ago so don't care what never gets played again, I won't be hearing it.

1997 was the second best year in the 90's. So many great albums.

An Riabhach · 21-08-2021 11:14am

I absolutely cannot stand the sound of Dermot Kennedy's voice,so ANY song of his is a song I never want to hear again.

Add Tom Grennan to that category too.

dubstarr · 21-08-2021 12:48pm

Madonna Vogue,i love Madonna but i hate that song.Its the only song that gets played on the radio.She has much better songs.

Any Van Morrison song,he just sounds so miserable.

Hotel California is doing the rounds on Classic at the minute.I would rather cut my ears off than listen to it again.

I hate it so much. On the up side haven't heard it in ages, but at a certain point in time it felt like i couldn't get through a day without hearing it

+1, can’t stand them. The best way to sum up the sound would be if you let an owl loose in a wind chime shop

Don't listen to music radio any more, music is now more of a set of playlists so you can still throw these kinds of songs into random mixes and be occasionally surprised by them.

completedit · 22-08-2021 3:08pm

Hate Dermot Kennedy's voice. Some of his songs are okay on first listen but then become so jarring.

@Capt'n Midnight "Fields Of Athenry - The only good version is the Century Steel Band one where they use the tra la la from the Banana Splits in the chorus."

Even a ska vibe can't rehabilitate that god-awful dirge.

22-08-2021 7:29pm

We could be lifted.

Spicegirls.

Chombawomba.

All Robbie Williams.

All M people.

All Bon Jovi. Oh god does Bon Jovi stink. (shudder).

Hangdogroad · 22-08-2021 8:41pm

Whitney Houston, I Will Always Love You. Hate it.

Sgt Hartman · 23-08-2021 6:22am

You get what you give by The New Radicals - A one hit wonder tune that's been played to death since 1998.

Also A girl like you before by Edwyn Collins - Played to death since 1995

Ray Palmer · 23-08-2021 4:22pm

"The Key the Secret" by Urban Cookie Collective. I worked in nightclubs around the time and I heard it all the time. When I stopped working in them I thought I would never hear it again. Unfortunately it gets plaid on oldie stations now, while I don't listen to such stations the amount of places playing radio is quiet high so I still hear it regularly enough some 25+ years later.

pgj2015 · 23-08-2021 8:28pm

An Riabhach · 24-10-2021 11:58am

I never liked that "Pocket Full Of Rainbows" song from the first time they used it on a Lotto ad a few years ago.

And now because the Lotto ads are on non stop on both the telly and the radio,I absolutely despise that song from start to finish.

Mika - Grace Kelly.

I dont know what it is, but I just hate that song. And now this thread has planted the earworm for the rest of the day.

absolutely hate the Mundy version or indeed any other pub singer doing it....

saw Steve Earle though in ‘14 or ‘15 in the Olympia and his own version as played that night was a rocking beast of a joyous thing...

Seeing as you only ever tend to hear Mundy though on the radio here doing it...I can see why it grates.

Well you won't have to worry about hearing R Kelly songs again.

Nigel Fairservice · 24-10-2021 4:15pm

It's Raining Again by Supertramp. I had a job when I was 18 that involved doing the milk in Tesco at 6 am. That song would always be playing while I got myself covered in gone off milk.

24-10-2021 4:22pm

Thankfully I never hear it anymore because it’s old but Madison Avenue- Don’t Call Me Baby. It was never off the radio when it was out and I hated it.

Strumms · 24-10-2021 4:34pm

You’re In My Heart by Rod Stewart.... lyrics are as cringey as fûck, melody is annoying and beyond bland but somehow is a favorite of certain ‘grinners’ of certain generations... almost everything Rod did in the ‘80s was cringy but that takes the biscuit...

Puts on fake heavy metal voice “ after the news we’re gonnnaaa play some muuuughtaaaalicaaaaahhh”

then nothing else matters

Hangdogroad · 25-10-2021 9:54am

All Summer Long, Kid Rock. Horrible song that can't be improved by sampling from two classics. Hes a complete knob head as well.

25-10-2021 11:19am

Jason Derulo - Take you dancing

Beyonce - crazy in love

Anything by little mix

Galway girl

A lot of Ed Sheeran's music

The list could go on and on really
