Worst song you've ever heard?

[BathorysGraveland2]

I'm sorry for calling you out, and I don't mean to sound hostile, but I just have to ask. Are you implying that Brokencyde does not use autotune? Because that's how I interpreted your sentence, as you replied to a post containing a song by said artist / group that is basically completely comprised of autotune bullshit.

I'm not sure, I've only heard one Brokencyde song and had no desire to experience more. But the song in question did have autotune, but not the kind that Design the Skyline has. There's terrible autotune (most), then there is abysmal autotune (Design the Skyline song). A fine line, but a line nevertheless.

Oh, and by the way, I feel like taking the piss out of my own fandom's music for some reason, so let's dump a few more turds out there:

Spoiler

You judge which is most shite.

Huh... *rechecks one of his Ipods* According to the Ipod I use to store nothing but pony and pony-related music (with a pinch of non-pony music used during certain PMVs), Songs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 that you link in that spoiler tab are on this Ipod... with Songs 1, 2, and 7 not even been played once... and Songs 4 and 5 being the most played out of the nine you linked...

Well, that's a note to to give to myself a little bit: Make room for better pony music... (Although, I don't thing 4 or 5 are going to be the songs that will be taken out in the process...)

 

[TheEarthSheep]

Kind of amazed no one has posted this.


All I can say is..... I'm so, so sorry.

First of all, someone actually did post that on the first page. Second, I don't understand the hate for that song. I just heard it for the first time, and honestly I had a pretty good time with it, in a Punk sort of way. It was very Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

For the Mando one, the drop is just amazingly thin, and the Party Rock parody is...uh...interesting. I hate the instrumental with all my might to a point where I hate hearing it even though I love the fan VA's.

Mando's dupstep is generic as hell, but I wouldn't call it "the worst music ever" or even particularly bad, just not notable for anything.

I've only heard the song the guy you originally quoted had provided as well, but it pretty much has the same kind of autotune. There's not really a difference, other than the style of singing, both of which are about as horrible as they come.

Whatever is playing on the (way too) mainstream radio is, at that moment, the worst song in existence.
All this damn pop music, there's no passion, no message, no soul, no poetry.

Call me elitist, but that dumb pop music seems to be designed (Engineered?) to just blare on the background instead of being listened to.

 

[Simonator7]

As mentioned above, Stupid Hoe by Nicki Minaj has to be the worst pile of shit that's ever been branded music before. It's just... not even.... uhg why?

Also anything from Kanye West's new album Yeezus, my god is that the worst thing thats happened to music in recent history or what?

Radioactive- Imagine Dragons

I know its not the worst song for everyone, but it just greets on me so much, nothing sounds right, everything that beat through the song sounds wrong and that breath in near the beginning of the song actually my spine have a cold shiver

Not a great fan of that song either and the video gets to me too. If you're a band called Imagine Dragons and your song is called Radioactive, I expect a minimum of 8 radioactive dragons battling over a post-nuclear apocalyptic landscape in your video. A fighting teddy bear just ain't going to cut it.

While it pales in comparison in terms of pure awfulness, this has to be mentioned:


Though according to the idiot on the radio station, this song has "everything", so what do I know about music really?

Without a doubt Radioactive Dragons would make a much better video, what I don't get is that their band name sounds so heavy. Imagine Dragons sounds like something that a metal band would have, not a 'Dance/ Dubstep' group, but now im just getting petty, overall it just gets on my nerves

Anything by Michael Buble, i swear he's the whitest "Jazz" singer i've ever heard every song he sings is the dryest mess i've ever heard no style, no passion, uh!

I know you said song but like I said, any song he sings is bad. XD

So true. I think he's the musical equivalent of cauliflower. It's shit, you can put some cheese on it (like giving him a great song) but ultimately if it tastes any good it's because you can't taste the cauliflower.

I have to go with this Toby Keith gem:

Just so terrible.

 

[Snowbell]

I've never gotten a really valid reason why from anybody beyond "she sings within her abilities" or silly exaggeration. That's not a good reason.

I find her singing abrasive - it's kind of like melodic shouting. Also, practically every word she sings has vibrato and I really don't like that. I'm specifically referring to Lungs and You've got the Love, I just listened to one of her Great Gatsby tracks and that was much nicer. Still too much vibrato though.

It still doesnt stop him from being the coolest guy on the planet. I dont particulary like his stuff or that genre but as a person he is pretty damn cool

No, I think that honor would have to go to the lovely Winter Wrap Up remix. I just felt like throwing all that out because I'm tired of the lazy stuff getting praised in the fandom.

Also anything from Kanye West's new album Yeezus, my god is that the worst thing thats happened to music in recent history or what?

As it has for its entire existence. It's just there to sell as many single downloads on iTunes as it can in an extended period of time.

I wouldn't call it the worst shit ever, though. It's all very competently produced and in tune (for the most part). Really, you have to go more underground to get the real shit.

The first that comes to mind is "Love Shack", which is just repugnant.

Also, "The Laughing Gnome" by David Bowie. Almost everything Bowie did in the following decade was awesome, but this first song he released, novelty though it may be, is terrible.

Hee-hee. I wonder if I'm the only Bowie fan ever to actually like that song.

Haha! But WHY?

I can´t remember where I read it, but I think for one of his tours Bowie let his fans vote online for which songs they wanted him to play, and "The Laughing Gnome" got more votes than any other by a long way. Bowie did not play the song.

On the other hand, I think it´s a shame he´s so embarassed about his earliest work. Personally I really like his first album.

 

[San Martin]

We just talked about the worst movies, so what about the worst songs? The worst song I've heard is this song called "Turn off The Lights" but I don't know the artist unfortunetly.

I know you like Prince as well, so: what do you think is the worst Prince song? Graffiti Bridge maybe, because it sounds like a bad Disney soundtrack?

The Human Body from Emancipation is fucking horrible. If you haven't heard it you shouldn't. It's him singing in a falsetto voice with a techno beat and moaning sounds. It's unbearable.

Then you´ll be horrified to know that I really enjoy "The Human Body"! To be fair I recognise that it´s not "good" strictly speaking, but I find his falsetto to be quite mesmerizing, and the beat´s addictive for me.

I don´t think I can say what Prince´s worst song is. There are songs which are any combination of bad, boring and unecessary ("Jughead", "New Power Generation II", "P Control", "Love Like Jazz", "Baby Knows", "Hot Wit U", "Push it Up" etc.), but I can´t think of any songs which are actively offensive enough for me to single out.

The remix version of Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" featuring Chris Brown. The original was awful with a repulsive beat and a horrible tendency to repeat "Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake", the song's also very difficult to listen to because once again Rihanna's delving into the whole "Have sex with me I still like guys" thing she started after the assault. But at least the original version was only a minute and a bit long. I thought S&M was bad, but that at least had the decency to be catchy without well, "blowing the candles out".

The remix is three times as long and has two guest verses from Chris Brown usually talking about having sex with Rihanna and "giving it to her in the worst way" (<--- seriously!?). I'm really glad that this song wasn't successful.

Actually, it was in the Billboard Top 100 Songs of 2012. And I totally agree with you about it being the worst song I've ever heard.

Last time this thread came around, I found this one the most memorable of the bad


The video sells it.
