Feel free to flame me, but basically all Christmas music. Death by infinite overexposure if not done in by triteness.

There's plenty of good Xmas music that hasn't been played to death like

Well, I love Pink Floyd. I have almost all of their albums in vinyl. Of course, it's inevitable the someone's worst is someone else's fave.

I am joking... A lifelong fan of progressive and psychedelic rock in general and Pink Floyd in particular...
What I really can't stand is rap (or crap)... A gabby pseudo-music...
Not consensual, I'm afraid...

(These three should have known when to quit.)
In general, some of the worst music I feel is that begins
relatively well, but way overstays itself by being so
repetitious and needlessly lengthy (particularly in vocals) are:


Grank Funk Railroad - - - - "I'm Your Captain"


The Beatles - - - - "Hey Jude" (a vocal phrase is repeated
consecutively about 23 times)


The Police - - - - at least one of their songs is very repetitive
vocally at its end, but I don't know the song's title


-----------------------------------------------------------------


Waitresses - - - - "I Know What Boys Like"

Whenever talking about repetitive lyrics definitely we have to meantion Coldplay's Paradise.

No guys its not,

"PARA - PARA - PARADISE" * How long does it take to fill a track.

Unless you have some sort of weird speech impediment or stutter.

Yeah, that wasn't very enjoyable at all.

If Yoko Ono accompanied Gregorian chants, I think it would be worse.

Yeah, that would be really annoying.

By the way, this is, potentially, a great thread. There should be more negative threads like this, imho.

I must be pretty dumb with jazz music. I get very annoyed by all the Coltrane saxophone music.

Music is like foreign languages... If you don't understand them, you can't appreciate their beauty... There's a kind of cerebral turn in the history and aesthetics of jazz that could be a bit difficult to follow... I admit it...
Going beyond harmony is tricky but necessary... Take any tune you want and play it many times... After a while, you will feel the need to switch notes, play them in different tones and rythms... The outcome is the deconstruction of melody...
John Coltrane is a genius in that...

Continuing with repetitiveness of vocals:



Foreigner - - - - "Jukebox Hero"

Continuing with repetitiveness - another example that started out cute enough, then totally died from repetitions:

Rihanna - We Ride

Everything by Andrew Lloyd Webber. (I mean his entire output, I don't know or care if he ever wrote a song called "Everything").

Blasphemy! JC Superstar is awesome (but yeah, the rest pretty much suck).

For repetitiveness, Garth Brooks: Friends in Low Places (and way overdone at karaoke)
For the lyrics that make you more stupid every time you hear them, Carrie Underwood: When He Cheats (seriously, the girl in the song is really dumb to leave evidence of the crime!)
For pure suckitude, almost anything by Toby Keith (OK, it may be because I can't stand the guy, so I might be a little biased)

And for those that vote for Lady Gaga, remember, if it inspires an awesome parody, it's not so bad

Beyonce's songs pretty much annoy me...some song about "swagu" or some other nonsense "we like to party" etc. Or the other "to the left to the left, you must not know 'bout me" nonsense. And I pretty much do not like country music save that one about digging the key "into the side of his pretty little souped up 4WD." I also cannot stand calypso. I pretty much like everything else including gamelan which many other people I know cannot tolerate. But to me it is just amazing.
