One of the all-time worst occurs about five minutes into this pretentious epic from Pete Wylie
I actually bought this turd sound unheard from Record Warehouse on the strength of his previous two singles which were both rather good.
You can almost hear the A&R guy pitching it to him....

It cancels out the whole rest of his career.
Which in effect cancels out popular music as we know it now.
Thread over.

Are we including music which we'd assume 90% of people will hate, such as the Macarena?
I was backstage on a UK TV pop show in 1996 with OMC and these guys were also on the show.
There were waiting staff wandering here and there and Pauly wanted a drink - so he walked up to one of the waiters and ordered one.
It was the one of the guys from this bunch. He sneered and then stomped off to his dressing room.
They really do look like waiters....

my abiding impression of Kirsten Morrell in this earnest gem:
My god that's awful. All of it. The sad irony is that original is used so movingly in the last scene of this.

in much the same way as you can like the Beatles and hate (as we should) Wings.
Hate Mull of freaking Kintyre all you want - and Silly Love Songs, and a huge number of other shitty bits but vast portions of the McCartney solo years have been pretty darn fine too.
If you've not had the pleasure of Driving Rain as a solo album you should. Or Ram.

Foo Fighters
Drummers should never be allowed to form bands (unless they're Art Blakey or Charlie Watts).

And then there’s the Beach Boys who possess all the sonic charm of a ambulance siren:
fark......
Scrambling to tote up all the ways you are way off the mark, but note that others have already arrived above.....

That Mungo Jerry has even worse memories for me: when I first went to boarding school all newbies (I was in the 5th form) had to sing a song chosen for them by the prefects. That was my chosen tune.
Needless to say tune wasn't the right word as I progressed and half-way thru I was dragged off and made to eat half a block of soap.
