Worst Ed Sheeran Song of 2017 = Worst Song of 2017

nothing can beat Galway Girl. is it true he specifically fought for it to be on the album?

Shape of fuck off ed sheeran

i'm in love with yr buttttthole

Cursed fact: Jessie Ware co-wrote and provides background vocals to "New Man".

I wanna vote for all of 'em!

Galway Girl always sounded to me like a song left over from his busking days. I think it awful, but a lot of people think it the best song so what do I know?

I say always but I think I've only heard it twice maybe..

In my job I have to listen to Galway Girl and Shape of You around 6-8 times a day each and it never gets any easier

You need a word with Occupational health

the pretentiousness of Castle on the Hill makes it the worst for me

fake pathos

voting other for 'perfect' because every time i hear him sing 'dancing in the dark with you between my arms' i wanna punch the radio because who the fuck says 'between your arms' instead of 'in your arms'? ffs i hate this cunt

actually I have to listen to all these songs every day, i just didn't realise they were these songs and they were by him. they're all extremely awful

gotta give him credit for consistency

most of these are absolute abominations but I won’t lie, I actually don’t mind castle on the hill

actually COTH sounds like the work of one of those dodgy bands that bono would’ve signed to mother records in 1980-something, and the hothouse flowers weren’t ever that high on my kill list so it gets a pass from me

Castle On The Hill is part of the recent tradition of MOR radio songs that go 'I remember when I was a little boy / So so long ago now / Running around the back alleys smoking dope and getting in trouble / That was so long ago now I can barely remember / I'm 26 BTW'

don’t know how new it is, bryan adams made ‘summer of 69’ when he was *checks* 26!

important difference there is that summer of 69 slaps fucking hard

Castle On The Hill is part of the recent tradition of MOR radio songs that go 'I remember when I was a little boy / So so long ago now / Running around the back alleys smoking dope and getting in trouble / That was so long ago now I can barely remember / I'm 26 BTW'

Where is the travesty that is Perfect?

i stand with roz

the only way I know of this guy is through Sesame Street

was absolutely stunned to find out he was actually famous

Didn't mind him til 2017- scratch that, until 2017 he was better than every new artist ilm repped for- but since Galway girl he is as bad a every new artist ilm rep for

Didn't care for him till 2017- scratch that, until 2017 he was more annoying than the new artists ilm repped for- but since Castle on the hill he is as good a most new artist ilm rep for

It took me ages to work out what 'Perfect' sounded exactly-but-not-quite like and it's:

Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine which I love to bits but now kind of hate because of this song

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Every time I'm subjected to Galway Girl, I kill a kestrel. That's on YOUR conscience, Sheerhan.

I am very grateful to say that I believe I have not heard that one

Is this at all connected to the tradition of campfire-EDM where a father gives the narrator-son advice like "one day you'll be old and dead, so you should live while you're young and I dunno drop some G lmao"?
