Music that makes you reach for the off button or retune the radio... 12:36 - Sep 22 with 2662 viewshoppy

I usually listen to 6 Music... and one on their current 'A list' that every time I hear it makes me think along the lines of when my parents when I was a kid would utter "What is this... it just sounds like noise!" and I tend to either want to retune or switch off.

Exhibit A: "björk : atopos" - or, am I missing something?

It's not even the best Simply Red album.


Errr, not that I would know about such things...

Coldplay, Queen and Bruce Springsteen.

All undoubtedly talented but just leave me stone cold.

Not my kind of thing at all.

Oh, and M People.

Genesis, or worse still, Phil Collins.

Who’s that bloke who sings about chilling on Sunday? Him too.

And Meatloaf.

You're talking about Toploader I guess, Bugs is referencing a different song with the same title by Thin Lizzy from a couple of decades earlier.

Anyway, I can, upon hearing the first note of the Archers theme tune either hit the off button or change channel before the second note. Even if I am driving and the manoeuvre requires both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road.

Truth be told I had no idea until recently that was Drake! I just thought it was funny.

anything by the smiths or morrisey


As a teenager I hated the Smiths.

Nowadays I absolute love their music.

Also going with Florence and the whiney noise machine.
But also, and I don't even want to type all this...
George Ezra ( dear god somebody kill him )
Bastille
Elbow
The Cure
Madness
Boy George
Duran Duran
Spandex Ballet
Muse
Any "gravel voiced" 20 something year old.
The fat Scottish bloke / Tom Grennan / you get the idea.
Adele
Jessie J

and so many more


Ezra had a couple of good songs on his first album, but I’ve not liked his stuff since. The one about the green green grass is particularly annoying.

Saw someone describe him as the summer version of Michael Buble which seems about right.

Coldplay

Radiohead

Keane

Also concur with The Smiths who are possibly the most over rated band this country has ever produced, the irony of heaven knows I'm miserable now summing ip exactly how I feel when I hear it is not lost on me


Most modern music, grime, drill, trapp etc

Modern rap/hip hop. I like a lot of the genre right up until the mids 00s then the whole scene took a strange turn.

Drake, he doesn't sing, he doesn't rap. It's basically just talking and even I can do that.

Anything of a 1 direction or similar ilk. That's not music,.it's a marketing campaign.

Jazz. Why?

Johnny hates jazz. Johnny is right to hate Jazz but I still hate Johnny.

Ellie Goulding, rarely has a voice grated on me so much.

Sam Smith, an incredible voice wasted on mostly turgid dergey songs that make me want to burst my eardrums with a knitting needle

There is more but I'd be here all day.

I agree with all of this bar one. Coldplay. It doesn’t make me want to reach for the radio button. I confess I have copies of the first three albums, but I never listen to them. Bit like Queen, I had all their albums at one point but stopped listening and don’t wish to. Same thing happened with Oasis.

Radiohead is an interesting one. A chum of mine is a massive fan. Best ever n all that. I’ve really tried, but I just don’t enjoy it.

Jazz? Discordant din that I’ve always loathed. Modern stuff you mention? I’ve tried but not for me.

God, I’m old

FFS.

Just sat down for my mid morning poo, and that bloody bjork song has come on. So I'm now basically forced to listen to it as I can't get to the radio to turn it off.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.
