rolling fuck this shit worst songs of 2015 thread

round 2, trying to sit thru more than the first minute of "Bills" -- okay I just made it to the part where Lunchmoney Lewis says "Goddamn goddamn goddamn / Aw man, aw man, aw man", now that the song is sabotaging its chances for radio airplay I find it charming

I realize this is off most people's radar -- lucky you! -- but there is somebody called Neves who does obnoxious dubsteppy stuff themed around Five Nights at Freddy's. Which happens to hit a sweet spot for, say, 10-year-old EDM fans who love Five Nights at Freddy's and tend to commandeer my car stereo.

Actual conversation in my car yesterday:

10-yr-old (to 6-yr-old): Do you like the "Small World" remix by Neves?
6-yr-old: Well ... I haven't heard the other one. I mean, the one that's not a remix.
10-yr-old: Neves is really good. (to me) Do you think Neves is really good?
Me: Hmm.

lol, parenting

that sounds terrible btw; here's another sampler

also, boo: i like tove lo's timebombs

Ive googled the lyrics to some of these, they mostly seem to be by Calvin Harris.

Today has been reminiscent of the day I listened to the end of year poll music but there is no break inbetween the garbage. I cant cope

nearly 7 hours of this stuff now

Where do you work where you have to listen to music all day?

I worked in a bookshop once and around Christmas boss decided the same damn CD was to play all day every day. On every morning, activate repeat function. I ended up forming a plot with a co-worker and hiding it.

I work in a company of 5 people. Its democratic about the music but the fifth and newest person got today and yesterday and put the same spotify playlist on both days, so I also knew the horrors that were to come, it was far from genial.

Harsh and shrill sounds are a problem for me in general, but when trying to think its almost impossible, very difficult day

She developed her musical talent playing alongside NRBQ members, Johnny and Joey Spampinato

Huh, maybe one of the reasons I don't find her completely irredeemable.

a bad and toothless version of older music with even more regressive lyrics

Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk It's still rock and roll to me.

that sucks saer hope they get more considerate or take a hint or lose their spotify password

I think hes just a little bit oblivious, 2nd week in a new job and putting skrillrex and Katy Perry on just feels like a misjudgement. It's not really music conducive to developing or thinking.

but it lasted all day without complaint so maybe I'm just over sensitive!

And something I assume to be Muse, and some things which almost seemed like a parody of the pc music that was in the ilx end of year chart. And I googled the lyrics for another and it was something called Bastille

omg pray 4 saer

I was delayed in and he has the stereo on again. Im trying to code while David Guetta is blaring. I have another 7 hours of this ahead of me

Im not sure but I think it might be the same playlist again

This one is apt - the lyrics..."i dont know how much i more i can take".

google says its Clean Bandit

I should stayed in the woods

we should have a representative guetta song in here for sure; "what i did for love" is the big 2015 release and it's not especially egregious but certainly suffers from the standard lack of creativity

the clean bandit track is extraordinary

He has a new playlist, ive googled the lyrics. its something called Imagine Dragons

back to the original playlist now. yellowcard, david guetta and katy perry. Work is starting to feel like spring break in cancun. I long to retreat to the copse

adam levine inflicts more crimes by influence upon top 40

you are not the sugababes, you aren't even the sugababes minus all three sugababes

This is a quick, quarterly reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread are being posted as updated to a thread-specific Spotify playlist that I'm maintaining. I just did a quick sweep prior to posting this message and updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned... smooth jazz version of "Under the Bridge" included!

That playlist is currently a bit more than an hour of music most foul and is clickable below. Give it a spin and subscribe if you want to listen along through the year.

Rolling Worst Songs of 2015 Thread Spotify Playlist

This not-awful but totally unnecessary cover of "Groove is in the Heart"...

he has his playlist on again. googled the lyrics, f for you by disclosure.

its going to be a long day again

this bastille stuff is antagonistic garbage

the mary j blige remix of "f for you" is really good

disclosure in general are good tbh

painfully average with diminishing returns more like, if saer heard the original "f for you" his assessment was correct

except "latch," fuck "latch," maybe the sam smith backlash will finally reveal how garbage it is (and maybe the many-years-late impact of alunageorge's "you know you like it" will reveal how the crossover hit should have been "white noise")

it was, over here

("latch" was the initial crossover yeah but "white noise" was the smash)

("latch" is extremely mediocre, yes)

(though "white noise" towers over the rest of aluneageorge's blah discography to an even greater extent than the rest of disclosure's imo)

yeah this is from a US perspective -- "Latch" was as much of a smash as disclosure ever got whereas you couldn't pay people to listen to "white noise"

i agree latch is boring.
i will rep for most of the rest of the album

yeah I was about to say even "latch" is leaps and bounds above the cutoff for this thread

the entire rest of sam smith's album can stay in here tho

SRSLY americans why the fuck did you legitimise him, JUST SAY NO to boring bland british whiteboy soul in the future please (this is specifically re: the imminent push ella henderson will receive on your shores)

you're gonna have to lay some of the blame with mary j there
and i liked his work on the london sessions so i'm not sure i'm entirely on board with you
he's boring but mostly inoffensive

"imminent" underestimates the amount to which it's already happening

ok letting shit like smith and henderson pass as "inoffensive" without trying to cut them off at the root is why they end up so ubiquitous and eg jazmine sullivan does not

that's a hell of an either/or mission statement you're fronting there

saer: do you not have the option / equipment to put on headphones and listen to something else?

maybe i missed this.

Sort of but not really, im kind of pair-programming (with a different person again)

In regards to bland whiteboy soul with silly haircuts, is Sam Smith at least preferable to John Newman, who was also trying to make it big around that time?

My kids hate Sam Smith so much. They are 8.

kids otm

Sam Smith is dull Dull DULL but still > John Newman.

I am very sorry for your misery, saer, but your discovery of these horrors through lyric googling have left me giggling

So this is what John Popper is up to nowadays

Latch is cool with me

not sure what this one is

"im getting married, gonna burn a hole in the rug"
