Vote for the Worst Song of 2017

IMO:
shouldn't have been nominated - charlie puth or bhad bhabie
will win - ed sheeran
should win - pink guy's "hot nickel ball on a pussy"

Here's that playlist

U2

I am amazed that ANHONI/Cocorosie isn’t the worst song here

https://genius.com/Pink-guy-hot-nickel-ball-on-a-pussy-lyrics

bunding the ed sheeran songs together means i won’t vote for him. “shape of you” is awful but i like “castle on the hill”

Young and Dumb – Cigarettes After Sex

this is also the wrong way around

anyone that votes for the lil peep song is going to hell

yea wtf :(

"Padawan of Your Love" is kinda catchy

My Bottom 5 of the year:

1. Ed Sheeran - "Shape of You"
2. Taylor Swift - "Look What You Made Me Do"
3. Fall Out Boy - "Young and Menace"
4. JMSN – Drinkin’
5. Kesha - Praying (never posted to the thread, but idgi, sorry)

I actually don't mind "Sign of the Times" or "Malibu."

can’t believe queen reformed this year to make a song about ariana grande’s brother

anyway the answer is either “galway girl” or “rockstar”

There might be worse songs present, but I can't see Meghan Trainor on a worst list and not vote for whatever she's responsible for.

I immediately voted for Father John Misty because earlier in the year I had to hear the album at work and it really is one of the worst things I've ever heard, but I just watched the Ansel Elgort video at the top of the list and I'm seriously regretting my choice. I urge people to check it out before voting.

IMAGINE DRAGONS

but I haven't put myself through those Jake Paul songs and I'm not sure if I want to

Queen? And, more importantly, Crazy World of Arthur Brown?

Eh?

For lyrical content I hope everyone can take the time to appreciate Fellatia Geisha's "Peaches and Ann Coulter" take on intersectional feminism

I have, mainly due to having no radio anymore, not heard or at least not recognised what I was hearing for the vast majority of these. The remainder I have heard have not irked me .

From the titles of the unheard I imagined I would enjoy 'Fellatia Geisha - Gross Bitch' the least, that is until I saw 'U2 – American Soul'. Ugh.

a relief to finally be able to vote sheeran the worst - castle on the hill probably the one I hated the most this year

Voted U2, significantly bad even for 00s U2.

otm

lol wow those song titles are either dismally generic or just plain terrible.

going to guess there has been a song called "Rockstar" on the charts every year since that movie came out in 2001.

voted Jake Paul – I Love You Bro / It’s Everyday Bro cos this anthropomorphic manifestation of a douchebag shamelessly profits from suicide

a lot of these songs are obvious in their awfulness but the Liam Payne one is the one that makes my blood run cold - such an awful, lifeless, cynical performance by someone who clearly has no place being a popstar

again: you're not voting for the body of work, you're voting for the line with your least favorite song included

lol i should read

if it were body of work though this’d be the chainsmokers. maybe it still is

how dare you vote for Jesse Pinkman, Adam

voted Jake Paul – I Love You Bro / It’s Everyday Bro cos this anthropomorphic manifestation of a douchebag shamelessly profits from suicide

i believe you are thinking of logan paul, altho i can't fault you for getting them mixed up

i like stargate as producers more than i assume most ppl here do, so i will vote for them because it is truly shameful that the first time they decide to release music under their own name, it's for something so ignorable and featureless

xp lol, i kinda thought they were the same person too

Voted for "Goop on ya Grinch," by KING PU$$Y EATER

But that song's amazing

"Pills" by St Vincent is worse than many of these.

Maybe... but which ones?

I haven't heard the Cigarettes After Sex song but probably that one.

ugh i love pills!

Voted for "Goop on ya Grinch," by KING PU$$Y EATER

― porg and bess (voodoo chili)

why are we hating some of these songs? is it because they're crudely sexual?

I prefer my fake songs to be clean as a whistle

I'm voting for Ed Sheeran, because although a case can be made that his songs are subjectively (even objectively) less terrible than some of the other dross listed above, they're inescapable and impact negatively on my life. By comparison, I know I will never be forced to listen to 'Hot Nickel Ball on a Pussy'.

listening through the playlist now. holy shit the sun kil moon song is bad

vast halo making good points

True, the likelihood of hearing the song while sitting in a dentist's chair is a factor too often neglected.

Voting for Eminem, his new album is unbearable suckitude

turns out the sun kil moon song is the closing track of 2014's benji, an album ilm saw fit to vote fairly high in the eoys

you absolute maniacs

also the val vigoda thing is jawdroppingly bad but also not from 2017. the playlist is throwing up some excellent vintage bad music

actually regretting not nominating the Fall Out Boy song on the main poll. that is how much I like it. everyone is wrong

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Ok, given the admonishment above about worst song on this list (no lifetime achievement awards), these are pretty horrifying.
Love Me Tinder, Prozzak
young and menace, Fall Out Boy
waterfall, stargate

I liked the Chance The Rapper and Cigarettes After Sex tracks. still tempted to dish out a lifetime achievement award.

This Fall Out Boy song...doesn't seem real. Like, it doesn't seem like a real song someone could have actually made and released and thought was okay. Even some of the egregiously bad ones I kind of "get" what they're going for or they're kind of novel/stunty in a cringeworthy way, but have issued forth from a reality I recognize.

you've correctly identified why it's good

"Body Like A Backroad" came on the other day while I stood in line at a department store, waiting for the cashier to finish helping the guy in front of me, who was trying to return shoes without a receipt. Ruined my entire fucking week.

okay, I'm trying not to fall down a rabbit hole where I listen to all the songs I've never heard before and gripe about how uniformly terrible they are, but... surely Qveen Herby's "Busta Rhymes" deserves some special demerit for thinking this:

Can’t keep me in a cage, no canary
Got a lot I wanna say, a library

... is something that would fly in 20-goddamn-17

Proclaim my greatness... emancipation
Que voulez-vous dire?... bad translation

Strip That Down fills me with a rage i forgot i could feel towards pop music

Gotta disagree re: "Body Like A Back Road." It's such a fun, catchy bro-country track. Really well-produced too, with all the tasty organ and pedal steel licks careening in and out of the mix. And the "ay! ay! ay!s" keeping it hype, but mixed tastefully low. I feel sorry for anyone who can't enjoy it.

Fuck "Shape of You" tho.

eh, i kinda hate body like a back road, fuck "bro-country"

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

here we go
Worst Ed Sheeran Song of 2017 = Worst Song of 2017

lol charlie puth’s song is terrible ulysses. reheated “jealous” with more misogyny

can we re-do this poll with an option to submit a write-in vote for the logic suicide song

I like a bunch of these songs :/

yeah that logic song suuuucked

eh, i am not proud i like that puth track but it clicked for me somehow. his he-man woman hating is not making it any easier, i'll agree there.

Yeah pills is pretty bad, it's like some willy wonka shit. But it does have that scorching Floyd part at the end

yeah I like the Puth song, castle on the hill, something just like this (lol @ me but dang did it sound good banging at a Yokohama fireworks show this summer), the TayTays, Harry Styles, Maroon 5, Miley.
