Songs and recordings that raise your hackles, set your teeth on edge, make you squirm, wriggle or reach for the off button. List them here please, reasons optional. Chat and digression compulsory.
Anything by The Feeling
Dancing in the Moonlight
Adele. Dreadful, moany droney voice. R 'n' B in general. All sounds totally blah to me.
Wind of Change
Ed Sheeran obviously
ABBA
Queen
Bon Jovi
Anything else like that
I don't think I've ever heard any Ed Sheeran.
All ‘metal’ and ‘hard rock’
60s British ‘blues rock’ e.g. Ten Years After, Eric Clapton
It Wasn’t Me by Shaggy (no idea what the genre is).
The top three worst acts that raise your hackles, set your teeth on edge, make you squirm, wriggle or reach for the off button.
in descending order

2. Jamiroquai
3. Jamiroquai
Christmas songs
Anything by Queen?
The first eight albums are pretty good - it was Flash Gordon, and focus shifting to synths over guitars where it all went downhill.
Most of what passes as R&B I find unlistenable. I'm sure most of the stuff I listen to would sound just as awful to yer typical R&B fan. I don't assume me not liking something makes it bad per se, I'm just not the target audience. Might as well complain that most K-Pop bands don't speak to me as an Irish guy in his late fifties, I mean, why the fuck would they?
As a metal fan I do not like:
- Nu-metal
- Metalcore
- Hair metal
As a keen proggist I'm not keen on
- The Canterbury Scene
- Yes
- ELP
- Syd Barrett era Floyd
I could happily do without hearing Coldplay, U2, trad jazz and Country & Western.
While I don't dislike a lot of English Folk music I much prefer American Folk.
Anything Shadrack22 affects to like.
Rap. It all sounds the same to me. Angry and threatening.
Rap = Crap
Considering how much great black pop music and jazz there has been in the past it is very disappointing.
I am ambivalent about Nails. I'm not familiar with 'Unsilent Death', however 'Abandon All Hope' while an interesting listen is probably all the Nails I need in my life, and follow-up album 'You Will Never Be One Of Us' is probably most useful when one's run out of paintstripper.
