Musical Kryptonite

[Slipperduke]

Some soft **** in the office has just inflicted The Carpenters - Greatest Hits on us all by whacking it on the office stereo.

I now have the headphones on and Metallica's 'One' turned up extraordinarily loud.

I feel better, but I'm still in shock. The Carpenters are my musical kryptonite. Repeated exposure could actually kill me.

What's your musical kryptonite?

 

[Dept36]

Anything that you cant mosh too.

 

[Uncle Leo]

A bit of an obvious one would be Westlife. Less obvious, but almost as execrable, would be The Feeling.

Good shout with Metallica, I listened to their eponymous album the other week for the first time in yonks. Not normally 'music to do the washing up by', but it worked pretty well, surprisingly.

Thats pretty shocking slipper

I cant say that one singer/band irretates me more than another but these are a few of my despised acts

Sean Paul - Bloke mumbles lyrics

Any clown produced through X-Factor or equivilent - you've had your 15mins of fame now p*ss off!!

Celine Dion - That Titanic song did go on and on!!

I'll add some more after my car journey home this evening.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Celine Dion. When I hear her, I can feel my body working out how to burst my own ear drums in order to stop the pain. James Blunt has pretty much the same effect on me.

On that basis, a Celine Dion / James Blunt duet would almost certainly cause massive internal bleeding followed by a swift death.

:minger:

And now... for today's terrible confession... I don't mind The Carpenters. In fact, I've always thought that Karen Carpenter had an amazing voice.

:o

Not a bad call by Ux with Westlife / Feeling. You know how snow is cool, but when it turns to slush, it's really irritating? Westlife / Feeling are musical slush.

:thump:

Two early calls for Celine - aka The Slime. Good man, Stats.

:D

I have particular resentment of her.

During the Summer of 98 my brother played in a talent contest. His act was a 3 piece band, they did a couple of numbers and got a great reaction from the crowd, you cant beat live music. We were then endured to no word of a lie 4 girls who all individually got up and sang that Celine Dion track.

I must admit a large amount of the audience were shocked when one of them won I mean what is the world coming to when someone can just stand up and sing to a backing track and win a talent contest over a band that write they're own music, sing they're own songs and play musical instruments!!

Do you have any plates left?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Band - Savage Garden. I find their blandness and inoffensiveness deeply offensive. They are possibly blander than Westzone and Boylife. That is just plain wrong.


Song- Celine Dion's Titanic themetune. No wonder the captain steered straight into the iceberg. This also explains the kamikaze nature of Chinese bus drivers, as this evil is continually blared out of the speakers. It gives a new meaning to Chinese Water Torture.

 

[dloman]

for me it has to be Coldplay and James Blunt, the musical equivelant of a comfy armchair I.E: just start dozing off to.

Neither imo are hard enough hitting in their genre and actually are just plain boring

 

[Jam_Man]

Woman from B52's

Grrrrrrrr.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Any kind of insanely over the top Thrash Metal... Really can't see how shouting can be considered musical.

 

[GNH]

As mentioned above - Celine Dion and especially that Titanic song. If you listen to the words she repeatedly sings the line "on and on" as "on dan don"

Also anything by Whitney Housten has me looking for the noose, why does she have to warble to every song instead of just singing it?

:guns: :guns: :guns: :flamer:

[Jonny_Stokes]

That f***ing Mika song.

 

[chadded]

Good call on Mika, reminds me of Gareth Gates and Spirit in the sky for some reason.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Pretty much any band that begins with 'The' that has appeared in the last 2 or 3 years!

 

[Bielzibubz]

Amy Winehouse - Nasty ugly fekkin moose that she is.

Apart from her looks, or lack thereof, it's the way in which she gone all commercial that gets up my nose. In one of her first interviews for London local TV some two and a half years ago she swore blind that she wouldn't change her mix of traditional and contemporary jazz for the sake of stardom. Clearly the sorry old bint has forgotten all about her early days of playing the clubs and pubs and that just plainly hacks me off.


Plus, her voice is cack!

 

[Shrimpersarmy]

That f***ing Mika song.

Spot on. Absolute ****e excuse for a song, endless whining and you can hardly understand a word he is saying. The 'whining' style of singing is also why i can't stand the Scissor Sisters.

 

[shrimper4life]

anything that you can mosh to

 

[Mad Cyril]

The lighthouse family.
Embrace.
Dido.
Paul Weller.
