As the title would suggest, what is the worst song you can remember hearing?
A lot of songs from the last couple of years would fall into this category but the one that sticks out for me would be #Selfie by The Chainsmokers. It made me want to smash the writers in the head with a heavyweight pressing of the White Album and strangle them with the master-tapes from Dark Side Of The Moon. Another one that really annoyed me was 'It's My Birthday' by will.i.am because that actually got to number one.
I can't really think of many older songs that would fall into this category because I've cherry picked all the best music without being exposed to any of the rubbish.
What are your thoughts?

It's hard to beat "My Pal Foot Foot" by the Shaggs, from their comically bad album Philosophy of the World.
I found out about this a while back by googling "worst album ever", and this topped several lists... after listening to a few tracks on YouTube I could see exactly what they mean. It sounds like they played all the wrong notes in the wrong order! Totally out of tune to boot. And the drumming on each track is unrelated to the tune, giving it a weird nauseating quality.

Worst song I've ever heard? That's difficult, I'll have to think about it.
But this one's definitely the worst I've heard in the latest months. It makes me vomit, literally. Non-existent melody, repugnant lyrics, unbelievably gross video. And it's nearly 6 minutes long...! How can anybody actually like this shit?

All completely true. But I love the Shaggs! There's nothing else like it, the story behind the band is creepy yet fascinating, and the music is at times naively charming |

There's nothing else like it, the story behind the band is creepy yet fascinating, and the music is at times naively charming Yeah, I see what you mean on this... they are like naive pop songs that end up somewhere very strange by dint of their lack of conventional musical ability; it's almost like each member's part was recorded on a different warped tape, which then drifted out of sync with each other. At a stretch I could imagine some of their songs working better in a David Lynch movie, as there is that accidentally unsettling and off-kilter quality to the music that would be a good fit. For some reason Mulholland Drive springs to mind, which features several naive-sounding 1950s pop songs in a way that contrasts with the dark and surreal elements of the story. Every Little Star was one. Haven't read much about their background, but I got the impression that the Shaggs were trying to make pop songs a bit like that, but because they couldn't follow the blueprint you end up with the totally bizarre album that is Philosophy of the World. |

Yeah I get what you mean, there is definitely something Lynchian and unsettling about their songs. But a lot of their songs have these quite sweet moments where the harmonies come together and sound like the softer velvet underground stuff And I love the 'Even Dracula will be there' bit in It's Halloween |

There are some saddening awful occurences that this world has witnessed... Here are a list of some of the worst
The Halocaust
The Aids Epidemic
9/11
"No Way No Way" by Vanilla
Yeah it's only 4th... But it's even trumped poor old John Lennon and Lady Diana.

You only liive once, so don't drive a motorcycle drunk I don't know how people listen to 70% of metal, in general, let alone that shit. Why would you wanna perform music with unbearable "pig squeals" for "vocals", awful lyrics that encourages rubbish, and inaudible noise for instrumentation? But I guess there's people out there who think this music speaks to them in some way because of they're "edgy and hardcore".  |

I don't listen to shit music but the song that I think I dislike the most from one of my favourite albums:
Eminem - Kim
It's not a song, it's just a really horrific and brutal story. Horrible to listen to, makes my skin crawl.

Horrible to listen to, makes my skin crawl. Yea I tend to forget the very worst but from bands I like or at least don't hate: What If - Coldplay is excruciating. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors - Radiohead is stupid (how was Fog/Cuttooth left off??) Parklife - Blur (verses are bearable but oh god, that chorus) Destruction of the Disgusting Ugly Hate - Soko (filler on an album that has 14 songs) |

With some reservations, I'm a Kanye fan.. well I don't wish him any specific harm, but this tune Touch the sky made me amazed at its wretchedness the first time I heard it, basically how to ruin a 70s pop soul classic in 3 easy steps.
Kanye rips off one of the great soul songwriters (the hapless Curtis Mayfield who, felled by a falling piece of equipment while playing live in 1990 had been dead for five years by the time Touch the sky came out) by sampling one of the best horn riffs and slowing it to the pace of a retarded slug draining it of its up-tempo, life-affirming feel and then he ends up talking tunelessly over it by adding his embarrassingly poor "lyrics" (fly / why / sky) which any 6 year old with a rhyming dictionary could have come up with.

Fitter Happier - Radiohead
It is just waaayy too creepy with the Stephen Hawkings-like voice used, and the "lyrics" are rather unsettling. To say the least, I find it to be an unpleasant & awful. no matter if I'm feeling in the mood for an overly political song, something experimental, or really any sort of music listening.

At least the ones I listen to don't praise cigarettes and alcohol (Oasis has obviously). Try world issues that Oasis/Noel are blinded to. In short: Fuck you because I don't really care, and fuck your shit 'indie' which probably sounds like the last generation. |

Although I'm glad Lady Gaga has changed her image into a better type of music, I still will never forget her first outings. Bad Romance and Poker face can go into the fires of hell.
Also, anything by Bieber, Nicki Minaj, and all those other manufactured artists.

To me the thing is you could take the vocals out of that suicide silence song and it would still be a pretty jamming song. Take the vocals out of that Nicki Minaj and friends song "only" up there and you've got a three year old born with just one arm playing with a playschool toy xylophone set.

If you don't like Poker Face how do you like my acoustic cover of it?

The Lady Gaga today would probably perform this version now. Nice work btw |
