My choice would have to be "What'll I Do" - that awful song which was used as the theme for the equally awful Birds Of A Feather. I hated it back then and oh boy, did my loathing return when it was used in an episode of Ridley I watched on catch up yesterday. Talking of Ridley, has Ted Hastings got an album coming out at Christmas or something? At some point in every episode he has to have a little sing. He can't be as bad as Alexander Armstrong though surely?

Where to start.....

In a typical 'you're just old' state, anything in the (c)rap genre makes me turn off the radio.

I would argue they're not songs, just poetry spoken in a droning voice over music in the background.

Oh, and The Hustle. Really hate that.

When O J Borg was covering on radio two the other week he kept playing rave music, I never got rave music.

Absolutely hate Sophie Ellis Bexter when she warbles.

No, I'm not a rave fan either. Mary Ann Hobbs plays a lot during her show - cue switch off. I can understand people who are out clubbing listening to it - but during the day???

Not keen on any warbling type of female singing.

To quote W S Gilbert, I've got a little list...

Over The Rainbow
Imagine
O Danny Boy (Londonderry Air)
You Raise Me Up
Wind Beneath My Wings
Without You
Love Me For A Reason
Release Me

Funeral dirges, the lot of them

One that isn't, but is still painful to the ear...
Smooth Criminal

I think they've decided that they want to alienate most of Steve Wright's listeners by turning that slot into Radio 2 Minus (or Radio 1 Plus). I looked at what Scott Mills played last week and didn't recognise most of it (as music).

Anything by Queen, Coldplay, that plagiarist bastard Ed Sheeran. There are others but I don't want to bore you all.

As for songs there nothing worse than "Where Do You Go To My Lovely" by Peter Sarstedt, complete load of drivel..

Come Dancing by the Kinks.
It enrages me for some reason.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that. Excerpt From A Teenage Opera, same vintage, similar tosh.

Mr Loaf's 'Bat Out Of Hell' always gets me reaching for the knob (not an... etc)

The Eurthymics (including the solo work of Annie Lennox) - a pair of weirdos, if you ask me, which you probably did

I quite like a lot of the above mentioned, but then I like slow songs with melody.
Xmas songs enrage me, but that might be from overexposure.
Except for The Waitresses. Weapon's grade shite.

The Power of Love by Jennifer Rush. Fucking awful song.

Very good choice....

All her other songs were good though.

Living On A Prayer or any Bon Jovi song, they all sound the same.

Mysterious Girl, the coddiest of cod Reggae.

Mull Of Kintyre, dreadful shite.

Phloppy squints through the smoke hanging over the card table, he shift his cigar from one side of his mouth to the other and growls, 'Mull Of Kintyre Gassy? Is that all you got? I raise you The Frog Chorus.'

Well, I must say, the Exiled-Again karaoke night is going to be extremely quiet

(Lights blue touch paper...)
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.

Ditto.
