Late 1970s Neil Diamond is horrid, but he had some good music in the 60s and early 70s.

China Girl by David Bowie or Iggy Pop. Either one you choose, you're in for 5 minutes of suck.

Shania Twain's "Shoes" completely pisses me off.

Is it legal to say this where you live?
We have entered the post-alternative era, I guess.
"Good music", for a while during the Eighties in Chicago, generally
came compliments of pseudo-alternative radio station WRXT.
A result of my time listening to that station was that a number of bands became sacrosanct--REM among them.
Talking Heads
Rolling Stone
Beatles
REM
Roxie Music
So, it's interesting for me now to hear people rip these groups. Which is fine. Just surprising.
I genuinely like the bands listed above, mind you.
I never latched on to that stations newer untouchable icons like the Smashing Pumkins, Poi Dog Pondering, Matthew Sweet and Wilco.
And certainly 5-10 years from now people will look back and question their worship worthiness.
God Dammit, I'm old!

That Avril Lavigne song.... the one where she whines out of tune about emo things. You know the one.
Yeah! What the hell is that about?
As for songs that need to just go away and be forgotten, far too many to list but anything tainted by Tom bloody Jones for a start.
Any Christmas songs, bar two.
I think that this was the Carry Ann that was pointed out above:
and I cannot disagree, it's vile.
Some Hollies stuff was tolerable but not that one.

"Freebird".
Always and forever.
I love pop music but this is an atrocity.
Bad To The Bone.
Also, AC/DC. Anything. They are fucking awful.
Spin Doctors - Two Princes. 4 mins of suck.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
That's one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
It's also just a little poignant. Presumably this robot was created in an attempt to monitor and study the human teenager. The face and body movements are uncannily accurate, although the voice needs a little work. Obviously the language processing unit is a bit faulty - witness the stuttering, and the grammatical slip of "we so excited". It is able to form statements about time, expressing correctly the days of the week in order. Sadly, it's limited AI does not allow it to truly analyze situations - at best it can greet others and feign excitement, but seems to fall into confusion over seemingly unimportant tasks, like which seat in a vehicle is optimal to occupy. I suspect this is a Buridan's ass problem - there out to be a routine to resolve such deadlocks more appropriately.
OMG, where to start?
Anything by Rod Stewart. Anything by Pink Floyd. Anything by Jethro Tull.
That'll do for openers.
Political correctness will be the death of our country.

I'm loathe to even give it a mention, but if I'm going to be specific, "Mull Of Kintyre" by Wings definitely fits the bill.

For some inexplicable reason Risa Against's Hero of War got massive amounts of air time on Swedish rock stations - I'd often be subjected to it 4 times in 8 hours. (Many people, one radio). I hated it the first time I heard it. I'm actually slightly angry about it right now, and I haven't heard it in weeks.

In some ways, I feel really sorry for her, she's only 13 and her entire life is going to be marked by this one song.
It's going to make her a millionaire isn't it. There is no justice in the world.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
In the 1990s it might have made her a millionaire but then in the 1990s she wouldn't have got such noteriety so fast, not so sure now. I don't think that Chocolate Rain kid is a millionaire although Dr. Pepper gave him money to do promo for them.
So it seems her folks paid for the production company to make the song/video. She's doing a mall tour and the song is charting in different countries. Whether it will equal anything much more than worldwide ridicule for her, time will tell.
So, her folks we involved, but the song is written around "partying?"
When I was her age, partying almost always meant drugs, or at least copious amounts of liquor. Is this no longer true?

When you were 13 you took drugs and drink? Jakers!
