It's not just songs. Weather forecasts always have me reaching for the dial.

Slightly off topic, but how the fk does anybody listen to ste like Heart FM on a regular basis? They only appear to own one mix cd. Honestly, they're playing some songs up to 4 times a day, EVERY DAY.

Pretty much everything mentioned in this thread. As well as those, Achey Breaky Heart by Hannah Montana's dad and that Wet Wet Wet song that was number one for 18 years. Awful awful songs.

I thought Heart's tagline was "The same five fking songs all day!"

Still, rather that than "Red, Red Wine"! hehe

Can't listen to the radio any more now, you can run through all 8 pre sets in the car and every one of them will either be adverts about a new car, or two no-marks talking ste to each other. I have been plugging my phone into my stereo for years now and just listening to the music off that.

The worst is when you walk on site and someone has already got the radio on, it bad enough if its tuned to kiss 102 or whatever its called nowadays but even worse if the bloke that has it on is in his forties.

At the risk of sounding like an old git, can none of you remember the sixties and early seventies when there was virtually no chart music broadcast on radio, maybe a couple of hours of FM in the afternoon, the rest on crackly hissy AM R1 or Radio Luxembourg (evenings only).

An hour of proper music per week on TV plus TOTP on Thursdays was all you got, no CDs or IPods, no MTV, nothing, you don't know you're born, stop whingeing.

If I wanted to learn a song to play in my band I either had to buy the record for 3 hours wages or tape it off the radio on a scratchy cassette recorder, no You Tube to listen to or cheap downloads, get off my lawn............ oh dear am I ranting?

Para... para... paradise.

It's not a song, it's one bloody word, over and over again.
Everything Coldplay have ever done is dreadful, but that one makes me want to break things..

Agree 100%, probably my most hated song of all time.

Also anything by Queen.

Can't stand listening to any radio.

Adverts rule out anything outside of the BBC. I just can't cope with the cheesy jingles they stuff on the radio.

BBC stations are slightly better but the music they play is all a little safe and boring. I did listen to Zane Lowe a few times as a passenger and thought he actually had his ear on the pulse of the music scene but from what I remember he only got airtime in the late evenings.

If I'm ever in a hire car without an auxiliary input then I just sit in silence rather than listen to the radio.

Oh yes. Instant switch.

yuck

Identifying it took a few seconds as the r is in the wrong place - the lyrics are actually sung as 'fo yar'.

As in the Lou Reed song? I've never heard that on any radio station. In fact, the only thing I connect it to is Trainspotting.

Happy birthday or I just called to say I love you by Stevie Wonder. They are both beyond awful, but it's made so much worse because he used to be so great. How can the same bloke who wrote Living For The City and Mistra Know It All, and many other classics, produce such utter dirge. How can talent disappear to that extent?
Have to agree 100% and don't forget Ebony & Ivory with Macca.

Looks like there's a limit on the number of good choons in any person.

It makes you wonder what sort of tat Hendrix or Jim Morrison would be putting out these days.
Ebony & Ivory....Ugghh! I'd completely erased that from my mind but you've kindly reminded me furious

You have a point about Morrison & Hendrix, perhaps dying at 27 is the way forward for anyone with real talent. Saves the shame of churning out total st when you're older, and destroying your hard won reputation.
