I don't mind The Frog Chorus. It is what it is, perfectly - a song for an animated film for children, and there have been far worse for those over the years.
At least it's not played to death, like Whiter Shade Of Pale or Fairytale of New York.

+1 I hate bloody Frozen.
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

Jennifer Rush aside I hate anything that sounds autotuned that gives folk a weird electronic sounding voice. That and rap and pretty much everything played on 6 Music on my way to work, although that last one might be a coffee issue.

Vienna - overblown pretentious crap

Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.
Re: What song do you absolutely hate?
Some songs like Dancing Queen and Africa by Toto are just played to death.
You might have quite liked them at first, but by the 10,000,000th play they grate a bit.

Was that this morning? Lauren has excelled at playing crap over the past couple of mornings.
I really don't like much that comes under the heading 'power ballad'
Do you mean something like that awful Cher song?
I agree with the comments on the Frog chorus. My son was little and loved it, so it has nice memories.
There is so much good music out there, both old and new I just don't understand how we get such a limited range.
6music used to be good but they seem to be turning into Radio1x extra and I think there's already 3 stations that cater for that genre.

It's every morning but I have a coffee issue every morning in that I don't have any until I'm in the office.
Lauren should play the Frog Chorus, that's great.

TBF you hate everything when its played on the radio.
In fact, given the harumphs emitted when Radio Scotland is on, I suspect that may be your default position

(I like what Iain Anderson plays on Sunday/Monday nights on BBC Radio Scotland, although the man himself sends me to sleep)

It was never a good sign when he appeared on Scotsport in the 80s becuse you knew there was no more football highlights and that the rugby ones were coming on.

Re: What song do you absolutely hate?
Does Radio Scotland have the same problem as Radio Wales? I have lived in Wales for almost 50 years and I've heard all the accents and have no problem with any of them, although I think the North Walians ought to give their nose a jolly good blow before talking, very nasal, the Gogledd. However, Radio Wales employs presenters who appear to exaggerate, nay, turbo-charge their accents to almost caricature level. They talk normally in real life so why ramp it up on the radio? You hear the same with those playing the part of Professional Yorkshiremen (see Boycott, G and Parkinson, M) or Cor Blimey Londoners (Dyer, D).

Re: What song do you absolutely hate?
Radio Scotland is fairly central belt in the accent front, with the occasional islander/highlander. The news content, however, is directed straight from their London masters.Phillip Phlopp wrote: ↑Wed Nov 09, 2022 11:28 amDoes Radio Scotland have the same problem as Radio Wales?
