Oh ffs...Rolling Worst Songs of 2013

Foxygen - "On Blue Mountain" - strings a bunch of familiar songs together with their own dumb lyrics, and at nearly 6 minutes in length it's a form of torture.

after 8 hours of listening to the music played at my work (all the most inoffensive and creatively-asleep dad-rock that exists) i found this pleasant! he's an idiot but at least he's a little bit youthful about it.

I'm sure worse songs will come along, but this was just the first song I hated of the year, and with cause, I believe.

This came out in December, but I decided to post it here since I fear it might end up charting later this year.

ffs skylar grey

ffs whoever directed that video

ffs Eminem (retire now!)

and ok this song was released last september but it's january so who cares, and i have to listen to this song every day at work and it's the most irritating of them all

like every other song there it's bland bullshit built around someone singing a boring cliche over and over and over again and acting like it's magical

Agreed, zachlyon. I involuntarily listen to a lot of Sirius Alternative Nation at work, too. Of Monsters & Men's previous single was somehow more banal, made even more life-draining by some sub-third-wave ska horn playing used as the hook. "Little Talks." I will say that these songs are all-time masterpieces compared to Matt & Kim's "Let's Go."

It's like fundot taken to its illogical extreme.

fueled by ramen is really fueled by garbage these days

plus Eminem's latter-day flow
plus "left-side brain" phrasing ripped from fucking "Hey, Soul Sister"

fuck this

definitely the most unpleasant rap voice of the year

this is really embarrassing, i'm embarrassed for him

liked her way better as Holly Brook on that Fort Minor song

Skylar Grey stated that she's poking fun at widespread and excessive sexualization and she also told MTV, "The video is a combined effort between director Isaac Rentz, me and Eminem, and we just wanted to make sure it was very clear that it's a sarcastic song."

“There's one scene in the music video where I'm dressed up in this Red swimming suit with a Red , pink nails, a pink bicycle with an ice-cream cone on the back of it and it's totally girly — and not me at all. I think that's clear, because that scene happens over the bridge of the song, where I say, 'I'm only f--king with you, and f--k you for thinking it's true,' and that's when I have the pink polka-dot thing on, so it's saying, "I Love Eminem".'

i think the twenty one pilots song would be fine without the rapping but

oh man the rapping is so awful

lolz @ skylar

and that's when I have the pink polka-dot thing on, so it's saying, "I Love Eminem".'

"annotate my face?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQvEHtrlb_Y

that one gets a pass because the video has Fudge Stripe Cookie content

this video +skylar grey means 2013 is the year of tumblr .gif mise en scene I guess

If you last long enough on that horrible video, "so not going to happen" happens.

For all I know this song is three years old, but that Pitbull song with Christina Aguilera that samples A-Ha is the worst thing I've heard this year, for several reasons.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nszl1iHF4xo

oh jeeze how did I miss the cringefest that is Twenty One Pilots?? (+10 points for the autotuned scream that happens after the first chorus, tho)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPu-Cm6pehs

It's amazing how basically anything Pitbull puts out is guaranteed to show up here eventually, it's like the shit version of the Beatles knowing their singles will all go to #1.

As for "Porsche" it's sort of forgettable and harmless but really I just refuse to believe that Nelly has gone all gloss-glitter-pop, this is like a rejected demo someone presented to Flo Rida.

somehow found my way to this and i was regretting it immmediately

whoops

"somehow"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-gYJBsln-w

Utterly generic although the shit video might put it into contention. What the hell awful filter is it that everything's shot through now where the goal is to look underexposed, dusty and gray? Is this really the right theme for a song about raucous partying and glorious youth?

It might be one of the worst, or possibly the best. I cannot yet decide.

oh my god i hate it so much

damn, gr80 really let himself go

There could/should be a separate thread called "Oh ffs...Rolling Train Songs of 2013"

looks like this is the 4th single so they may be nearing the end of this album's promotion cycle. but yes, as long as maroon 5 has one also.

Actually, Pitbull seems to be the reigning champ of this thread (and ones from previous years), but I certainly hate way more Train and Maroon 5 songs than I do Pitbull ones.

omg i made it 50 seconds in and that train song is literally nauseating to me, that's quite remarkable.

I don't care what you say, maura! That 2AM Club song is still great!

I mean really, it's not un-clever, the guys who sings can sing, the guy who raps can rap, the production is clean and works with the mood/message of the song, and it has a great chorus. I really don't understand the hate. Are you trying to distance yourself from who you imagine the audience must be?

lol that song is idiotic

i'm going to throw it out there that it's the concept, rather than the execution, that makes this qualify for this thread. shit is so grossly bro'd out

Hero & Leander 'win' this thread.

yes, they need a thread of their own Can pop music get any worse than Hero & Leander?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaVA6sgOpws

Is this gonna be a thing where someone does a gloomy, slo-mo cover of Tears For Fears every decade now?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ73Kpj7sUw

Was all like "what's so bad about this?" but then "I thought love was bullshit" happened.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHjUuojffds

That sounds like it was made with the express intention of being used in a Gatorade commercial.

how come so many songs suck

Sandi Thom has a covers album, fyi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX3O5v-ylC4#t=67

Oh heck.

That seems more sad than bad, though it is indeed bad

Yes. It's really really bad though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Robi0Kp-zs

Ew. Eeeeeew. I feel unclean after hearing that.

I heard Blurred Lines for the first time tonight and it is so fucking shit

I mean, for fucks sake

This is the second time a song I've posted to this board has ended up in this thread, sigh.

I'll see your Daughtry and raise you a yarling, bro-metal cover of an Animals classic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ4LaUQRZU0

This is probably one of those songs like "Behind Blue Eyes" that easily lends itself to these kind of mook-rock covers.

Is this Daughtry song even rock? It's like some featureless null style.

aka adult contemporary

altho i don't think faulting something for not being rock makes much sense tbh

well maybe given its title we could. idk.

Cupid Kidz - Forest of Fun

not safe for work, or anywhere else (legit gross)

dunno if we missed their "ganja poo poo" last year but that would have been an easy top ten contender (don't watch that either)

Jesus, it's a close battle between what's worst with that one: the voices, the lyrics, or the video. I had to turn it off because I was afraid I'd get it stuck in my head

woof, that's horrible.

i got to 1:10.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-bxztZbmW8

eh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-bxztZbmW8

maybe i should listen to this more than once halfway but my inclination is this belongs here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_4i69wcovw

we should probably have a vote for worst of the year based on nominees in this thread.

Not sure whether the Pitbull/Kesha song "Timber" is too boring even to bother including here.

i will admit to liking that song

eww

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwgz-Tev_Cs

At last, Post-Moosernism has hit its stride.

wow, the female vocal in that is like the most insipid sound I can imagine

have we talked about Twenty One Pilots yet

Ugh, and I thought Bastille was bad enough

The lead singer's rapping on "Holding on to You" are just as bad as the raps on any Karmin song (worst moment is the random "Lean wit It, Rock wit It" reference towards the end)

Two of a....CRIME!

Ugh...

you guys, it's 2014 now

"Two of a Crime" came out last October though, it's fair game. But yeah, is there a new thread?

wow, the female vocal in that is like the most insipid sound I can imagine

May want to steer totally clear of any Rilo Kiley/Jenny Lewis albums, then, because that girl's doing a pretty solid impression.

Oh, I just now read that Perma is a collaboration between the dork from Say Anything and one of the sisters from Eisley. Yeah, they can fuck right off.

wow, the female vocal in that is like the most insipid sound I can imagine

You meant the male vocal, right?

is there a 2014 version of this thread? i cant find it

GTFO rolling worst music of 2014

wow this is... amazingly bad

from the actress in The Expanse:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gbgq6wgrsg

Yeah, wow, that is profoundly inept at basically every level - songwriting, singing, production, Autotuning specifically, everything.

wait is that old or just an old thread revive?

according to YouTube it's from 2013, prior to her work on The Expanse..
