What will be playing in your own private hell?

[Le Baron]

Country music that isn't from before Elvis (though I can tolerate Kenny Rogers). Crap on the scale of 'Rush' or 'U2'

There are so many particular songs to choose from. Perhaps 'Winds of Change' by Scorpions. Maudlin dogshit.

 

[Le Baron]

Anyone who doesn't like the sublime Stevie Nicks has nothing useful to add

Oh and I'll be continually repeating the truth no matter how tedious it gets

She does sound like the unoiled hinge on a particularly creaky gate though.

 

[Yank]

'70s corporate rock - Journey, REO, Styx, Boston, Seger, Jackson Browne, Eagles, Doobies...

 

[Big Tabs]

Stone Roses, The Verve, Ash, any of that jangly crap from the 1990’s, and I include the sheet hair.

 

[Arkless Electronics]

Total class

Wow you have bad taste! That stuff was the only break from total shite that we had between about 1985 and today!

Too much of some artists I otherwise like. Seems to be with the voices. Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson and Roland Gift spring to mind.
Can't explain it, sorry.

The Richard Thompson does seem to be "a thing"! I played "52 Vincent Black Lightning" for 3 mates over about 2 months, each time expecting them to be as impressed with this wonderful piece of music, amazing guitar playing, great story in the lyrics etc etc as I was....

.... each kinda went "hmmm.... I don't like his voice" as their first reaction when it finished! Not "yeah amazing finger picking, great tune that Jez, can you do me a copy? that's mega" .. but "hmmm.... I don't like his voice"! Bloody philistines

I've been enjoying Wikipedia's 'List of music considered the worst' page and discovering a few new favourites.

According to Bowie, that’s where Ziggy’s surname came from. I always love the way that just when you think it can’t get any more bonkers, there’s a trumpet solo.

I'll think about that next time I ride past the 'Gee-Pharm' chemist on my way to work.

I never knew that was produced by T-bone Burnett!

I remember John Peel playing that in the 70s

 

[irons1965]

Any-no everything by Jonathan King
Mike Batt - bloody Wombles
Chinn & Chapman 70's version of SAW with Smokie ,Suzy Quattro etc
Osmond's -especially Little Jimmy
SAW - a special shout for the Reynolds Girls with "I'd Rather Jack than Fleetwood Mac"
A sharpened pencil hammered into your ear would be preferable

Having to listen to Tony Blackburn,Noel Edmunds ,Bono

The Reynolds Girls were spot on with the lyrics imo

 

[Chas B]

I've just had the most horrendous thought. Not only will some of the dreadful 'tunes' already mentioned be blaring out in my private hell but the DJ will be Steve Wright! I'd like to think I'm a tolerant person but that gobshite... argh!

 

[Tony L]

DJ?

“Now then, now then, now then… we’ve got ‘Two Little Boys’ by Rolf Harris, or ‘Do You Wanna Touch Me?’ by Gary Glitter….the only two surviving records…”.

There will be no baseball bats in hell.

 

[Euan]

...but there will be Whitney Houston.

In my private hell the soundtrack would be my favourite songs.

How much worse to start with something you love that through incessant repetition becomes an aural nightmare. If it was a song you already hate beyond words you're unlikely to hate it much more after a few thousand plays.

Seems like John Cage's 4'33" would be the best choice.
