Happy Friday.
It’s the weekend!
That means another music competition.
After a series of great underrated entries over the past few months, it’s time for a slight change of theme.
Taking my cue from commenter ‘seanydelight’ (thank you), this week’s question is: what do you think is the most overrated song?
Here’s mine.
Reply below to be in with a chance of bagging a shiny €25 Golden Discs voucher.
The winner will be chosen by my feng shui consultant.
Lines MUST close at 5.15pm EXTENDED until Saturday 10.30am.
Please include video links if possible.
Nick says: Good luck!

Anything by Bruce Springsteen except Born to Run.
Absolutely anything by David Bowie with particular venom reserved for the God Awful Tin Machine years.
Jaysus, you’ve nothing going for you have you?
Just my overwhelming modesty and impeccable taste.
Yourself Ginger ?
I’m not ginger.
I have a grà for redheaded ladies.
Ya get me?
You clearly have no taste if you dislike Bowie. Even your mother would disown you for saying such things
Millie my dear I once had the good fortune of having Mr Bowie ponce a Marlboro off me.
An absolutely charming man.
He laughed uproariously when I told him I didn’t much care for his music and he wasn’t at all offended.
He was wearing killer high heels at the time.
I bet he was and all, the stylish so and so.
I am, as ever, exceptionally jealous of anyone who had the good fortune to meet David Bowie. I never even got to see him play live, sadly. He has long been my favourite musician.
Again?
Nurse Nurse ! – Walter’s not taken his medication again.
Ha ha ha! I concur. David Bowie has so many amazing songs and entire albums
Charger immediately does a charger.
Your talking through your botty!!!!
Bowie was a genius, he influenced so many acts,songs,art and fashion that he still inspiring today!!
Especially for charger,
My Heart’s In The Basement https://www.broadsheet.ie/2020/08/19/my-hearts-in-the-basement/
Enjoy, you missed one of the gigs of a lifetime!
I’m sorry for this.
I know it’s his 80th Birthday.
He’s still my favourite Beatle.

And Sean’s birthday… and Macca’s wedding anniversary funnily enough
anything by ABBA ( sorry I had to )
We all knew it was coming
If you are going there…

Dig those gothic harmonies. Despite their folk beginnings they had a lot of classical DNA.
Uptown funk by mark ronson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPf0YbXqDm0
I’m not sayign it’s a bad song, but it’s fame was all based of bruno mars’ fame at the time.
Feel Right feat. Mystikal was the stand out song from that album for me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ognnZ3r2qyQ
Metallica – Enter Sandman
https://youtu.be/CD-E-LDc384
Anything after their first three albums is overrated :)
Pearl Jam – Jeremy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNO6pAJBCs4
i only recently found out the intro to this was played on a 12 string bass
Am a very big Pearl Jam fan (the first two albums are massively overproduced, it’s the live recordings of that era and the three subsequent studio albums that should be listened to. Or my playlist) but never a great fan of that song.
Yes interesting Harry
That’s what it is alright
Never been a fan, apart from the Fateh Khan collaboration but almost every girlfriend I ever had would wet their panties for that fella
What was I doing wrong?
Doing God’s work there, Bertie.
The Doors – The End
https://youtu.be/VScSEXRwUqQ
You filthy heathen, take that back immediately
I love Leonard Cohen, and he’s not really to blame for this (his original version was pretty stodgy and forgotten), but man really I’m sick of “Hallelujah” and I guess it’s mainly the late Jeff Buckley’s fault:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYrXK5ek_PQ
I’ll second that :)
Love Leonard too btw
Anything by Ed Sheeran
Agree with that
Yes. Dire.
gives you tooth rot
John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’… A saccharine soaked ditty full of lyrical contradictions… in its hymnal sound, yet asks the listener to abandon religion; as well as its request of the listener to abandon political systems and at the same time embrace one…
Urrggghh…. It grates with me in the same way soap opera themes like Corrie and Eastenders do… Yuck! Off!
https://youtu.be/L6svOHFSAH8
I hear ya, however the “system” he is asking you to but into is writ large above the door. “This is not here”
And he’s a wife beater, theres that too.
every man is a potential rapist
Anything by the Beetles, Rolling stones and Pink Floyd
with you on the Rolling Stones – how they ever progressed from being just another pub band, I dont know
cough… Gimme Shelter…cough
every time i hear either of these dirge i have to turn the radio off.
meandering guitar self pleasuring (apologies for the vulgarity but i cannot for the life of me see the appeal of either of these songs)

there, i said it. happy now?
+1 for Hotel California, the dude was right.
What? No Stairway???
Wonderwall by Oasis
https://youtu.be/bx1Bh8ZvH84
That song, that band, makes my skin crawl….
Also, let’s hit up Metal as a competition topic, for the larf, like, and in honor of EvH.
winner
What about this cover
https://youtu.be/Vy1ueZf1WMQ
For some reason this came to mind when hearing that cover…
https://youtu.be/BC35cQKHwzg
And no, it’s not redeemable in any way. I actually have more respect for this piece of 60s mania than the Mile Flowers Pops cover….!
I quite like that
Every so often I’ll stick on a Leonard Nimoy album (he released a few and I have a couple on vinyl) – along with some hilarious tracks like Spock Thoughts, he covers some of the classics from back in the day and while he can’t really sing, I find them oddly endearing. Love of the Common People for example… Drives Madam Sirius nuts, but none the less, it makes me smile.
https://youtu.be/dPW-P0nQbUI
+1
Oasis are utter ballache. if you thought Zeppelin were derivative, listen to definitely maybe – you’ve heard every song on that album before done by someone else.
I used to think REM were derivative, until i realised they had recorded tunes i had been humming in my head for ages…
I used to think that until i heard a truly derivative band, and they can hang out with the stone roses all they like, they are not the beatles, nor the happy mondays, nor are they fit to mop the sweat from the SR’s nether regions.
Talentless non-entities.
Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin – Je t’aime… moi non plus (Originale – 1969)

Oooohhhh….
Awwwwww….
Ooooohhh….
Awwwww…
Ooooohh..
Off! :)
nonnnnnnnnn !
I like this sexy filth I must say.
yes who doesn’t enjoy a little moan over in and out kidney action
Good lord Janet!
Anything by Alt-J
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRWUoDpo2fo
There’s an episode of South Park called You’re Getting Old (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27re_Getting_Old) where Stan turns 10 and gets a present of CD of a new ‘Tween Wave’ band that all his friends are listening to. When Stan listens to the CD all he can hear is fart noises but his friends all hear cool music. At the end of the episode Stan goes through an existential crisis realizing that he has grown older and is not into the same music as his younger friends are anymore.
The same thing happened to me a few years ago I was in a car with two younger friends of mine and they but on Alt-j’s album. They kept telling me how amazing the music is and how they can’t wait to see the band live. To me, it was all fart noises.
That was one amazing yet depressing episode. It really gnawed at me and left me gut punched it was that powerful.
Yeah agreed, probably one of the best ever episodes of South Park
here’s how alt j do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlBskd3IaNw
It might get a bit shouty around here.
U2 – Sunday Bloody Sunday.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkeDjLZMRRk
“How long must we sing this song”?
Indeed.
Anything by U2 after rattle and hum
For me it has to be that Bodyguard cover by Whitney Houston. HATE IT FORVER!
I also hate Christy Moore’s three chord gibberish. Nearly all of his songs sound the same. So irritating it makes me want to punch a farmer.
Don’t say such things! Some of his songs are glorious.
Clearly never heard the Knock song
Celine Dion, My heart will go on
https://youtu.be/WNIPqafd4As
Kill me now and Leonardo de crapio again …
U2, With or Without You. Their first US number 1 single, and the song that launched them to mega stardom. It’s a turgid, lumpen, over earnest, dirge. The video is laughable, with Bono wearing an acoustic guitar as an accessory, before swinging it round his head at the end. “My hands are tied, my body bruised,” must be a reference to an encounter with the Finglas lodge of the Orange Order. There are better songs on The Joshua Tree. https://youtu.be/ujNeHIo7oTE
Ha ha! The Finglas Orange Order, yeah I heard about that one. He must have been trying to get into Jon Bonjovi’s pants
Ha ! As my Australian friends might say , the pants on fire song, “whooaoahhohah!” Go on, listen to it and imagine bonio with his pants on fire. Now thats entertainment.
https://youtu.be/s88r_q7oufE
Also not a Josh Homme fan. He went on to produce for a tonne of bands I like and made shite albums with them. Arctic Monkeys was a particularly sore one.
I choose this video because Dave Grohl features, and it was a hard choice between these two absolute chancers of bland rock.
Sure while you’re on the subject of Grohl.
Nirvana – Smells like Teen Spirit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg
Nirvana have far better songs.
https://youtu.be/s88r_q7oufE
I actually nearly posted that till I remembered Homme /QOTSA
Anything by REM after Out of Time.
Anything by David Bowie after Diamond Dogs.
Anything by Tom Petty after Hard Promises (few exceptions though, like Wreckin Me, Last dance w/Mary Jane).
I think this is an ‘early stuff’ message.
lord I hate REM , I had managed to suppress all memory of that spaghetti headed whingy fool
I’ve only lately started liking some REM stuff
I defy you not to love this:
https://youtu.be/CJLOAjsamEE
I like the lyrics, maybe if someone else sang it ;)
A long time ago in a valley far away.
Well, actually it was the Liffey Vally not too far from here. I tried to do what would now be called a flash mob.
Yeah, that did not end well
Drake
Anything by coldplay
Ugh God! Coldplay, what a bummer
Anything else by coldplay
music for bedwetters
Bahahahaha
They’ll have a lot of fans on here then.
I’m surprised BS isn’t sponsored by Mattress Mick.
We have a winner
Doesn’t even need a YouTube link! :)
Anything and everything by them is overrated!
their song with Beyoncé is awesome
There must be shedloads of songs I reckon are overrated, here is one that could be near the tip top
of my thoughts right this second.
Queen – bohemian rhapsody
https://youtu.be/vsl3gBVO2k4
Trite, overblown, meandering, I could go on (meander even).. yes overrated
Chris DE Burgh was fighting hard for his spot in the sun here too
https://youtu.be/UL5lepmivW8
sickly cloying mawkish drivel from a talentless fraud
Brother, you have a way with words.
my answer is on the naughty step
are you going out with one of the mods or something ? ;) I can’t fit into the dress anymore anyway
you were defending him, j?
how could you?
I’m taking the kilt off
no I was making a joke about the removal of red dresses, but yes do remove any clothing you like on my behalf
*plastic flip flop and woolly sock falls gently to the floor……
ah hear , you’re ruining my erotic fantasy
i’m down to the sporran – will retain that: intrigue etc
I said gently!
Sick making I’ll grant you but pipped at the post by this:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VNY5lrSS9WM
have to agree, Lilly- but really you could cite any “song” from that wretched little barber’s oeuvre and it would top all else
Kygo. Fecking Kygo.
I wish to add 80’s Eric Clapton Dad blues schlock. Its so God damn samey and derivative. He put his brain on the mantlepiece for most of the 80’s and it was awful.
Dave Matthews Band – I dunno the title, nor do I care
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7in-9E3ImQ
A friend used to play live shows of his as background music on the telly. Sweet sufferin’ Jesus.
As an aside, I’m really concerned about what dross youtube suggests after clicking some of the links here today.
I was at a jam session years ago in a studio, this guy turns up to play with his bass. We asked what music he was into, he said Dave Matthews Band. We asked him to leave
I worked in a bar in Paris where another toss pot who worked there played that tripe over and over, I scratched that CD with a pointy heel to make it stop, my then weapon of choice…muah hahahaha
Heroic!
Bravo Janet
Robbie…. Williams…. Angels
https://youtu.be/luwAMFcc2f8
None more English funeral.
Christ! I agree with that. He is terrible and can’t sing! Anthemic muck for idiots, not music. Go sing at a football match!
Chargers favourite, I’d say.
I recall charger revealing that he’s never felt so alive as that time he was haring along the M6 after 2 sneaky lunchtime pints, the windows down, motorway crosswinds wobbling the vauxhall, status quo’s down down on full volume and repeat
I think status quo is his no1
I like anthems, and as anthems go, that’s a good ‘un!
I did like the football match put down though :)
Madonna has had some fierce clangers. I’ll give her some, but she was churning out some awful tripe too.
The Eagles – Take it Easy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1EjMQ6Uoig
Bland, beige and in a bucket.
Amhrán na bhFiann
Given the day that is in it, Imagine by John Lennon.
Insincere and over idealistic muck
The sensationally overrated Journey classic Don’t Stop Believin’ surely must be a contender. Maybe once, it was considered a good song, but surely not anymore.
I like this version more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UngXu2zwF9E
Oh that’s very nice. Nice one GG
PMJ have oodles of good takes of great songs. Or even rubbish like Barbie Girl. Or they did a version of Video Killed The Radio Star in Queen style.
You stopped believin’ Millie :/
Can you blame me?
You should’ve held onto the feelin’ :)
PSY Gangnam Style,
if ever I drempt of big guns it was watching people dance to this
https://youtu.be/9bZkp7q19f0
Mark McCabe – Maniac 2000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFe41uvBq2I
Very popular with a certain cohort, it makes me want to shout – “You people wouldn’t know good music if it jumped up and bit you on the bottie!”
Oh ffs, angry at even the mention of it
Queen – We Will Rock You
https://youtu.be/-tJYN-eG1zk
Phil Collins Another day in paradise.
…and most underated, land of confusion.
Hit the Diff – Marty Mone
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=share&v=D1JIgtX5pCk
The Boggers theme tune. STEP. AWAY. FROM. THE. MICROPHONE!
Have you noticed nobody is giving YouTube links? Cos nobody wants to have it on their history. Class.
karma police: radiohead
dear god this is music to get a comfortable chair, glass of whiskey and revolver to.
from the downbeat opening piano note to thom yorke sounding like a cat being forced through a blender. one of the most depressing pieces of music ever committed to vinyl and yet, critics still rave about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uYWYWPc9HU&list=PLjlDO4hRA6fw9Z2qbWqzcU0ngk1Hl7FR_&index=18&t=0s
its an aural assault and music for ledgejumpers
And just to prove it’s not only Boggers that upset me,
Aslan – Crazy World.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHeiVDSdoCM
I know this song has meaning for many people, but unfortunately I find it to be just untuneful caterwauling.
Aarggh! You are so right with that one. Dog muck of the highest order! If I hear this on the car radio it has to go off within 0.01 seconds
Couldn’t agree more.
i would never even be listening to such a station in the first place !
Its craaaazieee b@llls…
Pulp
Love of the common people
https://youtu.be/yuTMWgOduFM
Sorry Jarvis, I would prefer to hear nails on a blackboard.
Common People is a great tune. That and Blur’s girls and boys are about as good as the whole britpop thing gets I reckon, and the winner of this will be something like parklife, that one that goes ‘woo-hoo’ or ‘so sally can wait, pretty flamingo’.
Britmuck.
Sh*tpop.
Whatevs
Hothouse flowers and Glenn Hansard.
Imagine a collaboration.
a fight to the death between glen hansard and liam omaonlai would, I suspect, sell more tickets than either’s solo show
They’d only pull each others heartstrings. Till both cried, silently, into each others hair.
Fin
haha
I’d rather cut my balls off
I was going to throw Hendrix in here because if he hadn’t died young the world would have seen through him by now but then I remembered this abomination by Bob Marley.
https://youtu.be/RIMxmnfDSOs
How this thread has broken 100 comments without Bublé’s name coming up is beyond me but I’d lump in anyone trying to pull off that crooner schtick of the loose dickie and one cheek on the stool.
Ah for jaysus sake. So much hate.
He’s not my cup of tea either but he’s a super singer.
He was never overated, he was a cover poo, I mean act.
Oops, I said poo
Anything by Elbow, not forgetting The grateful bloody dead, and good riddance. Well thats what I though. until someone gave me a copy of In a gada da vida, by Iron Butterfly, recently. Theres no drug I know of that would make that sound like music.
had a girlfriend once who was perfect in every way – apart from her taste in music. it was disappointing and mildly irritating but I was managing to ignore it. until we were driving in portugal and this song came on the radio – https://youtu.be/lDK9QqIzhwk – she had a little spasm of glee and turned up the volume. and then sang every lyric, every line to the end. using counter-mindfulness or something, I managed to take myself somewhere else for the 3 or 4 minutes. the next evening, we were in a bar that had a karaoke night on. I knew she’d put her name down, but didnt dare ask the song. coming back from the jacks, saw she wasnt in her seat and then that awful intro and then the woe-woe-woe bit. it was horrendous. and worst of all, she sang the chorus every time directly at me, arm outstretched, finger pointing. i could feel the hatred welling up inside me.
Winner winner chicken dinner!, For the story alone. I felt that.
That’s funny
I dreaded people who were into that band
However time has softened me
what if you sang it ironically ?
Good, good i can feel your anger…
And rightly so, i presume you dumped her on the spot, that or checked her into the ray charles/james brown institute for the seriously unfunked?
I was going to throw Hendrix in here because if hadn’t died young the world would have seen through him by now but then I remembered this abomination by Bob Marley.
https://youtu.be/RIMxmnfDSOs
Did your soul fall out through your butt dude?
Anything by Elvis Presley, except possibly Viva Las Vegas and A Little Less Conversation.
There was only ever one Elvis, and his surname is Costello*
* May not be his name as recorded on his birth cert – see Declan MacManus.
I always used to think Elvis Costello was over rated myself
But not any more.
The main Elvis if anything is not rated highly enough though. He was a total genius.
Elvis’s version of ‘guitar man’ with Jerry Reed is incredible. if you can nail that song THEN you can call yourself a guitar player.
Totally
I would say that due to his manager and the way business works, Elvis was over exposed but no – not overrated. His Sun sessions alone changed the entire course of popular music for decades
I always thought the covid and trans posts brought out the worst in people.
Nope. It turns out that **music** shows how petty people really are! :-)
unless you can corroborate that with a link, cian…
Fair cop

Anything by those absolute chancers Fontaines DC
Bet you secretly love them
You know who I secretly love x
I’m blushing now
Other plastic flip flop falls gently to the floor.
up the pace there, papi – I cant keep this erection all day
Thank the gods. Remember last time?
do I remember? still have the video clip on my phone. always laugh at the bit where you throw up your arms and squeal, “you’re robbing me of my dignity, you brute”
Good times.
I’d say the most over rated song is Always on my Mind by the Pet Shop Boys. In fairness and while it is a banger in its own way, it kept Fairytale of New York off number 1 for Christmas when it first came out. How is that even possible!
That Fairytale dirge has to be the winner. Instant station change that one. We’re only weeks away from it assaulting our ears in every shop and, if they’re allowed open, pub up and down the country.
NICKELBACK
Oh god. I’d actually managed to forget they exist.
Sorry. I’m really sorry for bringing it up.
That’s my weekend ruined.
Boyzone
Bastard
West zone
East 17
Mix spice girls
Faithfull, or something.
it has to be rated to begin with
Again I view this sort of stuff with kind of ironic detachment like if you saw an awkward geeky friend you barely respect going out with the town bike, at least you are glad for him that he finally is getting SOME
What about the overrated rap songs?
I have no time for Sean puffy combs. His face makes me want to leap attack it. Repeatedly.
And redman. Doosh
Kanye.
Kanye. Is there ways I can explain his complete overatedness? No. Cos he’s an absolute shitehawk. A waste of recording studios, a thundering bllx, I want to make him lose his keys, forget his pin codes, just be in every bad place in the world.
Don’t like him.
The banks of my own lovely lee – by anyone.
Chip on shoulder, maudlin, poo-poo.

And while we’re at it – Danny Boy – by anyone.
I’d rather ingest a barrel full of monkey puke than listen to this dirge.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DquA6KyHTos
Not this one though, this is awesome
https://youtu.be/OCbuRA_D3KU
I used to have a manager, when upon reaching an advanced state of inebriation would burst into this song in the pub. Time for the rest of us to leave. If only he knew how much prescription strength laxative I secretly poured into his pints of stout on those nights out. Then hid all the toilet paper in work the next day.
I’ve always wondered why men sing Danny Boy when it’s told from a woman’s point of view.
https://youtu.be/Y2iLA3h_u60
overblown if not overated
out of time if not outdated
The space where music that irks me dwells is a place i tend to shun.
After weeks of some cracking tunes, it’s come too this!!
Here is my contribution, this vomit inducing bucket of POO, it sounds worst now then it did when it was released.
What were people thinking!!
B. Adams – Everything I Do
https://youtu.be/Y0pdQU87dc8
I now feel dirty!, sorry everyone.
And so you should, Andy. You’re responsible for some of the best musical offerings here… Til today.
I can only just apologise again Mille!!
It won’t happen again.
Sorry again Millie,
Hopefully this makes up for it, look at it as a kinda medicine for the eyes and ears after enduring that rubbish.
And for those ridiculous remarks from that person with cloth ears!!
https://youtu.be/8NFwEO6gr20
Enjoy
It absolutely does Andy! Excellent as always ;)
No Andy, noooooooo!
I was 12 when that was first released and the song is solely responsible for turning me off Bowie…. until my early to mid 20s, and by then I was too busy ravin’ to enjoy him. I was in my 30s before I listened to him properly… damn stupid pop song :/
Yes the summer of 1991 was ruined
As was The Summer Of 69’
Eh Eh …. Summer Of 69’
I’ll get me coat…
Dido.

Over one billion views on YouTube and 500 million streams on Spotify attest to popularity. But they’re wrong. Every last one of them. It’s absolutely dire. Puerile dreck, shouty platitudinous nonsense.
Zombie – The Cranberries
This has everything I hate in ‘popular’ music. Bloodless anti-music that makes my ears bleed and eyeballs itch, all wrapped up in a nauseous, bouncy tune.
Clean Bandit – Rather be
https://youtu.be/m-M1AtrxztU
Hahaha so bad it’s good you mean?
Totally agree
The veneration of the late Dolores has sickened me
You forgot the link.
I’ll get that… :) https://youtu.be/BtV1-gJ_bm0
No. Withyou on Clean Bandit though :)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c5NRH_DxWJE&list=PLSa5whRflIOxDuurdV_iXOW7McF3wwMAm&index=3&t=0s
If for the only reason that one of young Muchacho’s amigos genuinely thought it was called
“The first lady part is the deepest” and would sing it at the top of his lungs with gusto. Shudder.
Ooh, overrated you say? How about not only a song so overrated, it’s overrated singer died from cheeseburgeritis.
Ladies and gentlmen, and not so gentle men, and to all those who havent decided yet, and to all those who have, i give you…

Maroon 5 Memories. Overplayed, derivative bullplop and one of 2 songs I actively turn off. The other is Never Ever by All Saints a whingy doormat begging her ex to tell her what she did wrong to make him leave even though it wasn’t her fault.
Oh god, Maroon 5 are woeful, there popping up at the finish of every round of adverts at the last WC was utterly sickening.
D:ream – Things Can Only Get Better
Brit award, MTV viewers choice, 4 weeks at number one, top 10 in 8 countries.
Utter, utter overplayed stinky muck
https://youtu.be/dIj-6fr2SlI
Anything that Jerry Fish has ever sung, hummed or whistled.
I’ll second that!
With this playlist of muck I can’t see much hovering been done tomorrow!!!
Sex On Fire by Kings Of Leon. Utter tosh, always roared at the top of their voices by polluted galoots at about 2 in the morning in some dirty late bar as they huddle together and spill drink on themselves and anyone who cares to be around them. A definite Covid-spreader, almost as bad as Galway Girl.
I agree, but your description did make me smile :)
https://youtu.be/RF0HhrwIwp0
Yellow Submarine by The Beatles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2uTFF_3MaA&feature=emb_logo
Spare me
“Just Say No”
Agreed, off!
Along with Octopuss’s garden.
Loose the underwater themes lads really.
A Woman’s Heart. If Peig Sayers made music… This version is particularly woeful.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0RIOulKkM-c
Jeepers, that was dire.
I got to see them live 3 or 4 nights in a row working in the Corrib Great Southern back in the day when first released… It warmed me to the music and reminds me of good times.
But yes, that version is terrible :)
U2 Peace on Earth. Pass the sick bucket.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YeZBOE7GfDY
Get your own… that was pure sheeeeeeite
From the first time I heard James Blunt “You’re beautiful” his voice, the chorus to this song made me shrivel up inside. Went on a rant about it to my son and he quitely told me that this was “their” song and would be played first dance at their wedding
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m_xsrHquow
That was you told :)
I listened to all that… guess it doesn’t really rub me up the wrong way so much
Crazy World by Aslan.
Also the most overplayed song on Irish Radio. And TV.
I’m in the fence, I need to be pushed…
Oh and literally anything by Oasis. With Wonderwall being a standout pos.
No, just no… I prefer Stone Roses, but still, no :)
Anything and everything by Muse bit especially this, that always makes me think of Judith Chalmers on a cruise ship on Wish You Were Here
https://youtu.be/Pgum6OT_VH8
I’ll agree the fans can over sell the band, and that song, but they do do a great live show, having seen ’em twice
