Worst songs you've ever heard?

[Mr. Tea]

I'm still smarting from that "nu metal" comment! The very idea. Harrumph.

 

[RWY]

what makes a really terrible record is the phantom listener it conjures up

That's him!

The guy in the V mask with the umbrella's amazing.

I don't think I realised quite how tasteless drum n bass is until I moved to Bristol.

This works so well. Amazing.

The worst songs are slippery. You feel the dread, but cant pin exactly where. Is it the cheeky, but not too cheeky, lyrics? the very necessary banjo buried in the mix? Cagle's truly awful yet somehow inoffensive voice? This song is a smooth surface of mediocrity, a perfect economy of unease absolving all sonic constituents of final judgement but exonerating none. It never boils over into completely debased fun like contemporary classics Trace Adkins Honky Tonk Badonkadonk or RaeLynn's God Made Girls, nor does it render itself ineffectual with the sterile, uncanny stylings of contemporary country-pop crossover. Its always just out of reach. Heard this song in a gas station around a year ago and immediately upon returning to my car created a playlist titled "Horrendous Songs For Deep Contemplation." I have yet to find a song that holds me the same way; its remains the only song on the playlist. This is my Velvet Underhground's Heroin of horrible songs.

 

[Corpsey]

Absolutely blows my mind that there was a time in my life when I liked this.

It's the sort of thing that sets me thinking about musical taste, and what on earth it really is.

 

[version]

Imagine making that.

 

[Corpsey]

I get it, really. I was younger, for one thing.

"Clownstep" they called it, quite accurately.

But I loved that stuff for a while.

I wonder if I'd still love it if I wasn't aware that it was considered cheesy and shite by other people? I think taste is very socially determined.

I was very aware of what was considered cheesy and shite by others as a kid. Kinda regret it. Feel like I missed out on alot of honest fun

 

[linebaugh]

But I was also, and still am, very into Phish, so maybe thats overstating it

Dennis the Menace on the dodgems.

 

[Leo]

But I was also, and still am, very into Phish

is this a dissensus first?

all good, I'm sure I like things that no one else here does, but not sure I've even heard anyone here admit it.

 

[linebaugh]

Being the only Phish fan in the room is a balance I like to maintain

 

[version]

You're on the rung below me and WashYourHands with our love of The Dead.

 

[linebaugh]

The Dead are so loveable though, and they wrote some legitimately good songs. All phish songs are shit. If the jam isn't good its complete trash

 

[version]

Luka calls it "hairy pot belly music".
