GTFO rolling worst music of 2014

I hate the new John Legend song. That "all your perfect imperfections" line particularly.

LOVE YOUR CURVES AND ALL YOUR EDGES
ALL YOUR PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS

the FM transmitter i use to listen to my ipod is on the fritz, so i've been listening to a LOT of top 40 radio lately. i was going to see if ilx had a rolling thread on the subject but it turns out most of the songs i'd want to mention have already shown up in this thread.

ugh yeah that John Legend plays all the time at work... it's a hot garbage facial

To be fair Love in the Future is actually a pretty solid Legend album, so it kinda sucks that "All of Me" (one of the most boring songs on the album) ended up being the huge hit while the previous two singles were relative flops

wow happy birthday to me

Was sample songs on some French indie compilation and then this abomination came up.

Enjoyed that too!

some finnish hip hop someone posted
galcher lustwork
mnek gorgon city
gui boratto

Maybe it's bad in French, I dunno. The video is a pretty awful collection of stereotypes and they really seem like poseurs when you consider how 'pretty' the beat is (not 'hard' at all) and how any number of indie French girls manage to do spoken-word rap without turning it into an appropriations-fest.

But musically it's not a disaster.

I wish i didnt know any bad music, feel bad putting anything down but i heard it and it was bad cant be undone

hmm maybe my standards are just low (tolerance is high)

wow that t.i./iggy song is fucking repellent

i think bastille's 'rhythm is a dancer' cover is from last year but :(

We're at the midyear point and I've still heard nothing worse than "Rude" by Magic.

^just heard that song on the radio and raced to this thread to make sure somebody had mentioned it.

I only lasted 5 seconds into "Rude"

Omfg i just heard that Kongos song in a bar for the first time.

Why.

if you make it further into that magic song you get to hear magic shreds

it is definitely going to be the worst song i hear every karaoke night

Definitely going to air guitar to that solo.

I only lasted 5 seconds into "Rude"

lmao I just told someone this exact thing before reading this thread

kiesza

wat? no way. gtfo with that gtfo.

i still like RUDE :\

Don't really understand the hate for "Rude", this is far worse imo:

Also worth mentioning Becky G's "Shower" (which is inexplicably the #2 song on the Billboard rap chart right now) and Florida Georgia Line's "This Is How We Roll" pop radio remix featuring Jason Derulo

"shower" is so good wtf (lol at billboard for putting it on the rap chart tho)

"rude" is indeed horrendous

rap chart is now just the hot 100 with all the non-rap filtered out—it's why 'gangnam style' was its #1 last year

holy cow, that AJR song -- I'm honestly impressed by the density of cringeworthy moments, packed into the 90 seconds I was able to endure

Horrible

i prefer "Rude" to "Shower" bc of the corny ass twee chorus

however i prefer becky g's song w/ pitbull to either:

I <3 Becky G

i do like that becky g song too
