Rolling Worst Music of 2018

i think we can just put this at no. 1 and bump everything down one notch

yeah this is horrible

disappointment plays a part

It's a definite 'how do you do fellow kids' moment but not THAT bad as a tune. Like, I think it'd be a sweet little ditty if not for the awful title/conclusion of the chorus.

It's like Galway Girl but worse

great day for George people

george was a big fan of Brute Force's "King of Fuh" and got it issued on the Apple label. i haven't heard this new song because my life is hard enough without my going out of my way to torture myself but i'm going to postulate that paul's new song can't be _that_ much worse.

is there a worst merch thread

Let it be known that my most embarrassing son, big boy sex-haver Zayn Malik, has the WORST fucking piece of merch I've ever seen for sale on his website pic.twitter.com/STEBeQqFp1

finally figured out what the Macca song reminds me of:

+ Ryan Tedder

jesus christ @ paul mccartney

that doja cat moo song

oh come on, what young girl doesn't want to hear that they are worth more than every single gold chain, or hear the immortal words "you know I'm gonna smash it"

Quick-skipped past this abortion on the SYTYCD finale:

Some d-bag turned one of my favorite Tom Waits songs into a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy outtake.

“If you’re looking for lyrics, if you’re looking to cry, if you’re looking to think about life, don’t listen to hip-hop. There’s great hip-hop songs where they talk about life and they spit that real shit, but right now, there’s not a lot of people talking about real shit... Whenever I want to cry, whenever I want to sit down and have a nice cry, I’ll listen to some Bob Dylan. Or whenever I’m trying to have a good time and stay in a positive mood, I listen to hip-hop. Because it’s fun. I think hip-hop is important because it brings people together in a beautiful, happy way.”

this is a very strange quote from post malone because, to me, his music is far from happy. it's like the paradigm of what mark fisher called depressive hedonia

not that i would expect post malone to be self aware but you know

haha, that tom waits cover is very bad

i feel very sad that a certain subset of gay men on the internet think that this reads as the future of pop

Is Marshmello some kind of Deadmau5 knockoff(?)

what if marshmello is actually just dr luke in a mask

oh jk he's not actually one of those anonymity-gimmick djs anymore

the "*OFFICIAL FRIENDZONE ANTHEM*" in the youtube vid title is just lol

yikes that's poor

the sweet but psycho is also crap, #1 in Denmark atm, at least it channels a bit of early gaga

it's a bit too obvious for my taste

heard this on vegas' modern rock station the other night

protest the hero have really pivoted huh

if you really miss Rage that much why not just listen to them?

weirdly it sounded much worse surrounded by a bunch of indifferently heaped rock songs from the '70s '90s and today than it does in isolation rn

I loved this band's first two records, and I was looking forward to their upcoming one, but this is some edgelord bullshit (it's musically cloddish and ugly as well):

That Hyro the Hero thing is probably Whiney's favorite new song.

Eric Clapton - Jingle Bells (In Memory Of Avicii).

Yes, really.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C95EvXD86J8

It's actually… not as egregiously awful as I thought it would be?

a chance at least to update the old 'what did Eric Clapton do after he wrote Tears In Heaven' joke

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w-C0-zVaW8

can someone direct me to info on the dissonance trend in contemporary pop? I hear it in not bad stuff as well, like Black Beatles

from this delightful article: https://www.theringer.com/music/2018/12/5/18126093/most-awkward-ellen-performances-2018

this isn't actually quiiite bad enough that i'd call it 'worst' anything but my goodness, i am astonished that anyone would actually try to have a breakthrough hit with this! the "love galore"-soundalike production, sza-type vocals on the verses and sevyn streeter-type vocals on the chorus, just reusing an entire chorus from an old hit verbatim without doing *anything* remotely ~clever~ with it. who thought this was a good idea? like damn, pick one wave to ride!

"sweet but psycho" is currently #2 in the UK charts and I honestly think this is the point I will have to give up on pop music as a source of pleasure

this is not new but i hate it omg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4K7EcyUev4&t=

also any instrumental song from any TV ad with ukulele and glockenspiel as the most prominent instruments

fuck this is what i meant to post earlier
