Rolling Worst Music of 2019

lmaooo

i would have respected it if he had done a straight cover w/ vitamin c's original verses + included the gospel choir etc

This sounds like the theme song to an early 90s "heartland" sitcom. If this is the best country music can do, burn the genre to the ground and start over.

the album is excellent but thanks for your input

ya I'm not huge on that particular song myself but co-sign

it's the weakest song on the record definitely but it's not "burn the genre to the ground and start over" material

It’s a terrific song; I knew I’d be buying the album as soon as I heard the chorus.

I haven't listened to the highwomen album but that song is indeed not good -- I still can't believe someone recorded a cute pun on "Designing Women" in 2019 and claimed it was new and fresh

(and "designing women" was already a play on words, too)

I avoided this because my complete non-appreciation for most country music is well-known by this point and probably tired, but not nearly as tired as this song. It sounds like something characters on Glee would write as part of a special country-themed episode.

i like their cover of "The Chain" a lot; "redesigning women" is a bum track but maybe the most likely one off that album to get some pop country radio coverage?

They're good singers! I just don't want to hear them sing this.

I can't imagine what must be on the album that this track is the closest to, like, a jason aldean song

You guys are crazy, LOL

well, at least you got your display name right

>:-P

this is spot on, i think. album is good, this song is corny and clumsy but absolutely makes sense as a single / radio hit because most people are corny and they like clumsy

corny and clumsy aren't really the issue with it (I like both of those things) -- it's just dated and fusty

It's not an album full of cutting-edge song styles!

corny and clumsy and dated and fusty,
packed in the back of a chevy that's rusty

oh no

not to judge but it's weird for her to big-up her looks on a single that doesn't have her photo on its cover?

(this is not a song of 2019, it's just what it reminded me of)

"can't spell eugenics without U"

I actually like their latest single ("Obsession") a lot, but this is... well, it's

wrong link -- "Obsession" is not some of the worst music of 2019, but this is

that sure is one hell of a gauntlet thrown by the opening image and lyric

I wonder if 100 gecs would be here if it was a different year

I actually can't believe people are still spelling out the song's title and calling it a chorus. Aretha gets a pass because she was probably one of the first but jesus christ, "G-E-N-E-T-I-C-S?" Someone got paid to write that?

100 gecs are fairly unlistenable to me but definitely don't belong in this thread

Surely one Stephen Malkmus is already one too many.

this song is good

um I think I like this song :-/

It's fine for what it is.

i gotta say i like "dance monkey" quite a bit, "johnny run away" too.

is it cool if i post something in here that i'm pretty sure will be broadly disliked even though i kinda think it's a jam

eh fuck it

That's fine, most things on here are fine, bit annoying perhaps, but fine.

Madeleina Kay on the other hand, worst vocal performance of the millennium.
