NFR: Continuing the theme. The wost singer, band or song to have been successfu

[Justme]

Must be Agadoo by Black Lace. Being a novelty record is no excuse for this one.

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

I used to hate the one about Rabbits

Surely not "Bright Eyes"   ?

Bad, but I think Russ Abbott with "Atmosphere" knocks it out of the park.

I tnink my mum has the worst record collection in the world

Along with Mr Abbott's effort she has

Goombay Dance Band  Seven Tears

Rene and Renata           Save My Love

Joe Dolce                   Shuddup Ya Face

Johnny Logan             What's Another Year (along with several other 80's Euro     crap)

Black Lace                 Agadoo

Bobby Picket              Monster Mash

For some bizarre reason which I have never been able to phathom she also has " Das Model" by Kraftwerk, in the original German.

Queen, for me.
Never understood their appeal.

[Fulham1959]

For the over-60s :

anything by Ken Dodd or Jimmy Young, as singers.

"Have you got a criminal record?"

"Yes, 'Unchained Melody' by Jimmy Young !

Good joke. Perhaps not quite as funny as it once was, when used in connection with 60s DJs.

A group of children sang a song called "Grandma",a few years ago on TOTP.A real punishment for all grown-ups!!!

[CorkedHat]

Whiter shade of pale. Procul Harem. I hate that song with a vengeance. Why it ever became popular I will never understand and it ranks alongside LS in my hate list.

Blingo Blingo and there was I thinking we were brothers from a different mother. I absolutely love the song but I guess it reflects a part of my life of which we shall not now speak.

[alfie]

Have to admit to liking most of the songs on the lists so far.

Still for me U2 are the biggest, successful band never to have produced anything of note.

John Lennon's 'Imagine' is a particular annoyance to me because people really never listen to the words. They are really rather annoying.

U2 would be an exceptional band if they had a decent singer, the rest of them are fine, the edge is a superb guitarist

[Stefano Okaka Chuka]

Kurt Cobain from Nirvana EASY.

[Snibbo]

I may be alone but I absolutely cannot stand Peter Sarstedt - where do you go to

[Delboy]

Terry Wogan had a hit with the Floral Dance, pretty damned awful if you ask me.
But as a novelty song the lyrics to Ernie by Benny Hill are brilliant.
"  He said, "D'you want it pasturize? 'Cause pasturize is best,"
She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest."

That tickled old Ernie

Get off your back, get into town dont let us down oh no oh no.
Utter Nonsense, cant remember who sang it....... 064.gif  064.gif  064.gif

I remembered hearing that play when getting ferried around in the back my mate's father's car in the early 80s but I couldn't actually remember the lyrics.  Eventually stumbled across it years later as being a song from some teen opera experiment:

Keith West sang it

[Riversider]

The most overated songs of all time both feature Sir Paul (dont ever speak a bad word about him) McCartney,
Yellow Submarine The Beatles ( what a crock)
Frog Chorus Paul McCartney and Wings ( possibly the worst song of all time)

Brilliant song - Excerpt  from a Teenage Opera

[FFC1987]

The Killers? Some good songs but the guy can't sing!!!

[Barrett487]

Smurf Song? Father Abraham..... Thaty's gotta be down there with the worst?


Anything by Coldplay hurries me to turn the radio off before i reach for the razor blades.

Red Hot Chillie Peppers have a silmilar effect... they're annoying as hell!

[The Equalizer]

Has to be ABBA.  Hate them.

Arguably the greatest pop group of all time after The Beatles? I don't think I know anyone who truly hates ABBA. They created something incredible in the time they were together, but I know it's not everyones cup of tea.
