GTFO rolling worst music of 2014

is there a name for that stupid adverty plinky-plonky + steady drum sound on the Nina Nesbitt one? bc it must be stopped

Is that SLO THRUST or SLOTH RUST?

Don't rob them of their ambiguous name. That's all they've got going for them.

There was a sloth in the video so I'm going with the latter.

The world clearly needs another 4 Non Blondes.

Thanks for posting that BRC video, I had heard country-rap was taking over rural bars here in the south but hadn't the privilege of hearing it first-hand. Pretty much as bad as you'd expect it to be.

God I love this thread.

Billy Rae can't be making money from that, can he? It's got "vanity project" written all over it.

Slothrust had me at "flavor packet"

which Pixies songs are they plagiarizing at the end?

i guess 90s grunge revival is a thing now, eh?

billy ray looks like some kinda biker version of barry gibb nowadays

not a bad look, actually, especially for his being 93 years old.

resolved: "the chainsmokers" and "#selfie" are outstanding names for a band and song, respectively, in 2014.

man annoying-"young"-deadpan-people-monologuing-over-dance-music is an established art form, ppl think they can just halfass it

Selfie is actually somewhat close to being a decent track... unfortunately the entire selfie hook/conceit has nothing to do with the content of the rest of the song.

no, but you could look at the rest of the song and the title as a commentary on self-absorbed youth culture in the social media age.

i cannot believe i just wrote that.

oh really?

i never thought about that

gee whiz

groundbreaking analysis please expound

and other sarcastic remarks

well, you see, today's throwaway culture detracts from the kind of deep social meaning that our forefathers were more regularly concerned with and th . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i think you're really hitting on something here

i think so, too. i'm converting it into a doctoral thesis.

Didn't get far enough into the song for it to explain how we all are gay.

On behalf of all people of every imaginable orientation I say "take this shit and shove it back up your ass, A Great Big World."

oh wow i didn't realize that they were even more awful than i could have imagined

Potentially counterproductively awful.

at first I was feeling sorry for the poor person who cut out all those paper shapes because they had to listen to this fucking jive-ass feelgood patting-self-on-back "ally anthem" turd of a song over and over but then . . . they probably heard the song once when the song was pitched to them for the animation job and they had their chance to barf and turn it down, so if they chose to help disseminate this then they are their own punishment and I won't shed any more tears

and i say this as a 24 karat pole-smoking faggot, by the way

I think a lot of people now owe Macklemore a huge apology.

wow. that's pretty special.

Last week, the fastest-rising addition to Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart was neither a rap song, nor a hot song. It had been released just a week prior, and there was rapping. But Buck 22’s “Achy Breaky 2” — a literal sequel to Billy Ray Cyrus’s hit, “Achy Breaky Heart,” featuring Miley’s 52-year-old dad on the hook — bears none of the hallmarks of the genre. It is, however, remarkable in that it is remarkably bad: Built upon that massively successful 1992 country-pop hit, it is outfitted with peun-peun EDM lasers and bass drops, hollow drum programming, cynical lyrics, and the sub-Timbaland grumble-raps of Buck 22. Oh, and an incessant whistling, straight from the lips of a succubus. In less than a week, the song shot to no. 11 on the Hot Rap Songs chart. Its Larry King–and-alien-Playmate-starring video has logged 7.3 million YouTube views in less than two weeks. “Achy Breaky 2” is emblematic of a genre in disrepair. It is an abomination, or, at least, a practical joke inflicted upon an unwitting public. And they love it.

lol

hate it

you'd think that hearing it a million times via youtube ads would dull the impact, but no.

Movie trailers are gonna use the shit outta this one for years, aren't they?

that "everyone is gay" song is soooooooo bad omg. "accidental racist", you got competition

That American Authors song is what you get when people start writing for syncs. It's not just music for adverts, it's music inspired by adverts.

i wanted to see how many views that awful everyone is gay shit had and in doing so i added a page view :(

It's like everything good about their dad was passed down with a genetic mutation.

I thought it couldn't get any worse than that lame intro but it did, and then some...

I carpool with three other dudes and one of the guys is way into Kongos and basically only plays them when its his week. But the other guys love that band now too and they all bought the album and rave about it :(((((((

Bring this along when it's your week.

The Chainsmokers' song is becoming a hit. Singles Jukebox gets to it next week. Its score will be epic.

#spoilers #butprobablynotreally

Is The Singles Jukebox going ot get around to reviewing the latest Hedley single, which is terrible yet is currently at #9 in Canada?

Don't know that I've heard that one yet, but I'll take any opportunity to give Hedley a much-deserved shit-kicking.

that whole stomp-campfire microgenre is my least favorite thing in a while

The Chainsmokers' song is becoming a hit.

― Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, March 14, 2014

a big hit, i bet.

Don't know that I've heard that one yet, but I'll take any opportunity to give Hedley a much-deserved shit-kicking.

This is the one I'm talking about:
