I’d like to add The Proclaimers “500 Miles” to that list. Jesus Christ what an abomination of pop suckitude that is.

Susan | 7/2/2007, 2:30 pm EST

America – “Horse With No Name”

Bones McCoy | 7/2/2007, 2:33 pm EST

every Fall Out Boy song

Andy | 7/2/2007, 2:37 pm EST

every Bright Eyes song

Dear Andy | 7/2/2007, 2:43 pm EST

You know nothing, and I mean, nothing, nada, zip, zilch, zero, 0, empty space, absolutely nothing about music.

**** off, and have a nice day.

jeff | 7/2/2007, 2:47 pm EST

that paris hilton song

sy | 7/2/2007, 2:51 pm EST

james blunt is the guiding light in an ever darkening world of sorrow and pain.

david | 7/2/2007, 3:00 pm EST

ok, Paris hilton is far worse than james blunt. Im nota big fan, but hes not that bad.

eric | 7/2/2007, 3:02 pm EST

sooooooooooooo glad “Photograph” made the cut. how about a special list for the rest of the songs performed by hinderbackdown lifedaughtrycreed?

eric | 7/2/2007, 3:06 pm EST

p.s. “Closing Time” isn’t even CLOSE to being annoying enough to make this list.

Cowboy | 7/2/2007, 3:12 pm EST

That song by the new radicals “Dont let go, you got the music in you…”
oh god its in my head…

jungleland | 7/2/2007, 3:25 pm EST

This is the only mention of Black Eyed Peas I want to see for the rest of 2007 (they’ve earned it)

Take out Meatloaf and James Blunt

and the Paris Hilton song isn’t bad (and way better than Fergie)

Rudy | 7/2/2007, 3:27 pm EST

Great list.

lol | 7/2/2007, 3:32 pm EST

man! where are the Britney Spears’ songs, and the Paris Hilton’s songs???? other than that..great list!

SteveS | 7/2/2007, 3:40 pm EST

So, the limits of really bad music DOESN’T reach back to the 70s ??? The oldest song on the list is Wham ?!?!?! I had a feeling that would happen, and using that criteria, James Blunt gets the award for worst song of the last 25 years, in my book.

yeah | 7/2/2007, 3:43 pm EST

I don’t really understand “Closing Time” being on there either. Why is that one singled out out of all of the one-hit wonder alt. pop bands from the mid to late ’90s?

bobbyJ | 7/2/2007, 3:47 pm EST

Daniel Powter- god awful

T | 7/2/2007, 3:48 pm EST

“Jenny From The Block” should top the list

James Garfield | 7/2/2007, 4:00 pm EST

I second Daniel Powter. “Bad Day”s are caused by that song.

Nicolas | 7/2/2007, 4:04 pm EST

“We Don’t Play Guitars”!!!!!
That thing makes me wanna shoot myself and everyone around me so they don’t suffer with that song!

Katie | 7/2/2007, 4:09 pm EST

Tom’s Diner by Suzanne Vega, anyone? The song had meaning but omg, that de de deda was SO annoying and is in fact becoming stuck in my head again as I type this since I’ve thought about it again.

PS – Ugly Kidd Joe – everything about you was pretty annoying as well

SteveS | 7/2/2007, 4:13 pm EST

And, do we really need to count the novelty songs that found their way to the top of the list ??? Yes, novelty songs tend to be overplayed, lousy, and downright annoying, so that’s a given. It would be interesting to see this list minus the novelties, and expanded to include a couple more decades !!!

TankCat | 7/2/2007, 4:16 pm EST

I get knocked down! But I get up again! You’ll never be able to keep me down! I get knocked down! But I get up again! You’ll never be able to keep me down! I get knocked down! But I get up again! You’ll never be able to keep me down! I get knocked down! But I get up again! You’ll never be able to keep me down! I get knocked down! But I get up again! You’ll never be able to keep me down!

And so on.

NYC Nate | 7/2/2007, 4:19 pm EST

“Grilfriend” – Avril Lavigne anyone? It’s not even a year old, yet I’ve jumped out of 17 windows already because of it.

TankCat | 7/2/2007, 4:19 pm EST

The entire soundtrack to Grease

Doof Dog | 7/2/2007, 4:22 pm EST

Listen to the Eminem song “Fack.” I know it’s not a single, and so probably should not make this list, but I dare someone to listen to it and tell me it’s not the most annoying human creation in history.

gc | 7/2/2007, 4:24 pm EST

i loooooove wake me up before you go-go! it’s my guilty pleasure

SteveS | 7/2/2007, 4:29 pm EST

Grease is novelty, but yes, Summer Nights is very annoying. Do they still play this song in bars ??? If so, it’s another good reason not to go back !!!

steve | 7/2/2007, 4:43 pm EST

where’s hollaback girl? the most annoying song EVER written.
and crash test dummies were good.

Bayliss | 7/2/2007, 4:48 pm EST

lady in red should be top 5
loveshack?
shiny happy people?
copacabana Barry M is annoying

Bob | 7/2/2007, 4:49 pm EST

Uh, “Closing Time”?! Not a great song, but a long ways from being annoying.

Liquid Feces | 7/2/2007, 4:53 pm EST

Hey, I don’t see that theme song from the Brady Bunch on the list. “Here’s a story, of a man named Brady.” Damn, man, that’s an annoying song.

Mags | 7/2/2007, 4:54 pm EST

Hey Mickey your so fine

Jose | 7/2/2007, 4:54 pm EST

I like the Semisonic song. I am glad, though, to see that humanity shares my hatred of the Black Eyed Peas.

How come Snap’s “Rhythm Is A Dancer” didn’t make this list?

rudy | 7/2/2007, 4:55 pm EST

gwen’s “the sweet escape” should of been on the list. that is an annoying song.

Jared | 7/2/2007, 5:01 pm EST

“Closing Time” shouldn’t be on the list…other than that, not bad.

monsterQ2123 | 7/2/2007, 5:11 pm EST

Closing Time by Semisonic is a classic! Take it off there!!!

Jim G | 7/2/2007, 5:18 pm EST

BANANAS – GWEN STAFANI IZ SOOOOOOO ANNOYING

bibi | 7/2/2007, 5:29 pm EST

Its funny, I always found closing time to be so incredibly annoying and I thought it was just me that was oddly irritated by it. I guess not.

Edwin W | 7/2/2007, 5:35 pm EST

“Lemme’ see yo’ gril. U wanna’ see my WHAT?!?!!! Lemme’ see yo’ gril. U wanna’ see my WHAT?!?!!! Lemme’ see yo’ gril. U wanna’ see my WHAT?!?!!! Lemme’ see yo’ gril. U wanna’ see my WHAT?!?!!! Lemme’ see yo’ gril. U wanna’ see my WHAT?!?!!!”

Yeah. Enough said.

Russ | 7/2/2007, 5:36 pm EST

Stand by REM. So bad even they hate it.

Oliver x | 7/2/2007, 5:41 pm EST

How did Lou Bega’s Mambo #5 not make the cut? http://www.revolutionam.com

bobby-o | 7/2/2007, 5:49 pm EST

what’s telling is that the songs listed here are also the same songs that appear year after year on moblie dj’s top 200 list. These are the songs that are most requested at weddings, bar mitzvahs, corporate parties….
The world loves suck sH^%!

Dannibal Lecter | 7/2/2007, 5:59 pm EST

Great list. I would add anything by Fergie, Jennifer Lopez, or Ashlee Simpson.

sasha | 7/2/2007, 6:14 pm EST

‘Semi-Charmed Life’
by Third Eye Blind
Do do do, do do do do
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

chelsea | 7/2/2007, 6:27 pm EST

‘Good’
by Better Than Ezra
One word chorus… gotst-ta-go

this | 7/2/2007, 6:30 pm EST

i’m not a meatloaf fan at all, but how is he on the list ahead of m-bop, that piece of crap by those hanson sisters

Choo | 7/2/2007, 6:49 pm EST

probably the most accurate list i’ve ever seen on here. the only change i might make is to replace crash test dummies with any gwen stefani solo song. i don’t like crash test dummies, but that song isn’t as annoying the other songs on this list.

Pat Pat | 7/2/2007, 7:10 pm EST

LEAN LIKE A CHOLO

ETahn | 7/2/2007, 7:26 pm EST

how did t-pain not make the list?
his voice is annoying enough, i don’t need to pick a song

PeteR | 7/2/2007, 7:43 pm EST

Wow…look at how the 90’s reign supreme among annoying songs

tiki | 7/2/2007, 7:44 pm EST

noooo, i meat loaf rocks!!! come on someone has to agree with me. ok i know the song is like unbelievably cheesy, but u still gotta love it… anyone???

JC | 7/2/2007, 8:06 pm EST

Umm..where is CRAZY FROG on this list!!???

jalflskd | 7/2/2007, 8:53 pm EST

Yeah uh… no one’s saying “Closing Time” is a candidate for greatest song ever, but it really wasn’t that annoying. Seems to be the one thing we all agree on.

A “rare” misstep for a rolling stone list…

FACT! | 7/2/2007, 9:00 pm EST

The ENTIRE White Stripes catalog is far worse!

Jon | 7/2/2007, 9:02 pm EST

Fell in love with a girl – The White Stripes

UTTER crap.

Jordan | 7/2/2007, 9:12 pm EST

Right Said Fred… I’m too sexy for this list, I’m too sexy for this post…etc etc

Buzzardo | 7/2/2007, 9:30 pm EST

Whitney Houston – “I Will Always Love You” A woman in England would actually get seizures listening to that song, it was reported. Me? I just hated it.

Guv | 7/2/2007, 9:46 pm EST

“Closing Time” is great, it has no reason to up there. “Hollaback Girl” and “Girlfriend” NEED to be on that damn list.

infected mouth | 7/2/2007, 9:52 pm EST

I cannot believe “we built this city” didn’t make the list! whats wrong with you people?!?!

Anonymous | 7/2/2007, 9:54 pm EST

“Die Another Day”- Madonna, Worst Bond Theme ever!
“Freebird”-Lynard Skynard, the guitar solos are soooo boring they belong in “stairway to Heaven”!!!!

Jim Morrison | 7/2/2007, 10:05 pm EST

St. Robinson | 7/2/2007, 10:41 pm EST

I’m glad to see so many agree that “Closing Time” shouldn’t be here…I also don’t remember seeing that anyone had even suggested it….but, hey, at least “Photograph” is on here….God I hate that song…and what the hell IS that on Jerry’s head?

JASMINE | 7/2/2007, 10:53 pm EST

I LOVE GOIN ON THIS SO MUCH MY STEP SISTER TELLS ON ME WHEN I GET ON.

w0nderwall | 7/2/2007, 10:54 pm EST

Anything by Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, boy-bands, and Mike Jones. These people are absolute garbage.

P.S. Anything by Oasis is classic!

ASHLEY | 7/2/2007, 10:57 pm EST

HEY FERGIE!!I LOVE UR MUSIC SO MUCH THAT I GOT UR CD?

Josh | 7/2/2007, 11:15 pm EST

hello. let me just say, i, nor do many other people, care what others think should be on this list. you could have voted yesterday for the most annoying songs. gah.

auramac | 7/3/2007, 12:26 am EST

Diddy’s Princess Diana tribute the other night was so phony and annoying I actually vomited.

andrew | 7/3/2007, 1:08 am EST

why not just put the tracklisting on abba’s greatest hits album?

Jose | 7/3/2007, 1:09 am EST

Someone mentioned Starship’s “We Built This City”, but that song is in another league entirely. That song goes beyond merely annoying, or horrible, or even Eli-Roth-type-of-extreme-tortu re. It can’t be put into words.

ou812 | 7/3/2007, 1:41 am EST

What, no Diane Warren songs?

tERRY bOAKE | 7/3/2007, 1:56 am EST

“Hey Baby” – No Doubt
God that song sucks. Idiotic lyrics on repeat.

“You Are Loved” – Josh Groban.
A seemingly strange choice, but the typical ballad with nothing profound to say with an orchestral, almost operatic production makes it reek of smelly smelly cheese.

“Hi My Name Is” – Eminem.
I never understand how this was his breakout song. I detested it the moment I heard it.

PeteHagen | 7/3/2007, 2:01 am EST

I still stand by (can’t friggin stand) Todd rundgren’s “I don’t Wanna Work, I Just Wanna Bang On De Drum All Day…”

SPiCOLi | 7/3/2007, 3:02 am EST

I’m shocked that so many have felt that ‘Closing Time’ is too good for the list. Ah, What?

Mr. Tim | 7/3/2007, 4:13 am EST

“In the Shadows” – The Rasmus

whining guy + black mascara =
someone who needs to be slapped

Alobar | 7/3/2007, 4:27 am EST

JT’s Sexy Back makes me want to pitch the radio across the room everytime it comes on (and sadly it is a democratically voted in radio station here at work, I lost 8-2).

Lumpy | 7/3/2007, 7:20 am EST

Well I’m not surprised Nickelback made the list… those simple ass white trash lunkheads deserve all the hatred. But y’all might as well have included all post-grunge and grunge-pop or wannabe-alternative bands and their piece of crap hits, like Collective Soul’s “December”, or Gin Blossoms’, uuuhh.. oh, wait, they didn’t have a hit song, they were just around ( and annoying as hell ), and I read Ugly Kid Joe somewhere, good choice, but let’s not forget Three Days Grace either, and their own rendition of “I hate everything about you”….it almost makes the Ugly Kid Joe version sound like an evergreen classic, HAH!

Helvis | 7/3/2007, 7:30 am EST

Billy, Don’t Be a Hero!

Helvis | 7/3/2007, 7:30 am EST

Billy, Don’t Be a Hero!

damn tall girl | 7/3/2007, 8:15 am EST

“She’s got a smile that it seems to me/Reminds me of childhood memories”

Some of the worst lyrics EVER! By the dreadful overrated Guns N Roses. What the hell do those 2 lines mean? How exactly do something remind you of a memory?

Other annoying “songs”– Love Shack by the B-52s. Anything by Nickelback, Fall Out Boy.

Jeremy | 7/3/2007, 8:16 am EST

Right on to Mr. Negative with “500 Miles”. I can’t believe I forgot that one. When you really start to get into this, it’s amazing how many downright hellish songs have been popular over the years.

Nate | 7/3/2007, 8:16 am EST

I have to cast my vote for either of the following both by Billy Joel: “The Entertainer” or “It’s Still Rock And Roll To Me”. Both of those songs make me want to bomb with Napalm buildings full of Billy Joel records.

Scott | 7/3/2007, 8:18 am EST

Anything and everything by Kanye West and P Diddy is an aurol abortion.

Nate | 7/3/2007, 8:21 am EST

I think what people are forgetting here is that pop trifle is exactly that and not trying to be much else. So, shitting on songs like “My Humps” and anything by Britney Spears doesn’t make much sense to me. Shitting on unctuous and impossibly earnest songs like “Photograph” by Nickelback and those irritating hits by 3 doors down…I think that’s the more important place to start.

damn tall girl | 7/3/2007, 8:22 am EST

More trash…

B-52s Roam– and to think I loved their first 2 albums.

Bon Jovi- Wanted Dead or Alive.

Santana- Maria Maria.

Jan Brun | 7/3/2007, 8:31 am EST

I´d just like to say the following
“I just called to say I love you” by Stevie Wonder. What clicked?
Why didn´t it make top three? Is it because of his handicap?

Jan Brun, Sweden

northwest | 7/3/2007, 8:41 am EST

by the looks of it most of you are to young to have heard this song but if you ever do you will have to agree that “Patches” is the worst song ever recorded by modern man

damn tall girl | 7/3/2007, 8:42 am EST

I agree wholeheartedly with Nate.
Britney, Black Eyed Peas, Spice Girls are what they are- money making machines for themselves and their record companies- they shouldn’t be taken as anything approaching classic. It’s like trying to put Us Weekly or OK magazine in the same category as James Joyce.

Tomislav | 7/3/2007, 8:54 am EST

Lazy by David Byrne
All the songs James Blunt’s ever made
Mr. Lonely by Akon
Life by Des’ree:
‘I don’t wanna see a ghost
It’s the sight that I fear most
I’d rather have a piece of toast
Watch the evening news’
AAAAAAAARGHH!

Moe | 7/3/2007, 9:17 am EST

auramac,I couldn’t agree more,I had to turn off the tv,his performance was making me sick as well! Please tell me that phony and Kayne are not going to be performing on Live Earth this weekend. I live in Canada and I hope our stations will be broadcasting from England so I can see my fave the Chili Peppers!!

Everybody got their something | 7/3/2007, 9:19 am EST

The most annoyings songs ever written are “I just called to say I love you” by Stevie Wonder(makes you wish you were deaf), “Mr. Lonely” by Akon (he deserves to be lonely for the rest of his life if he doesn’t stop putting out this crap), anything by Eminem and all of the other “I’m so tough” fake rappers

To this day I still can’t figure out what “Diddy” is famous for. Kanye’s the new Diddy and they’re both absolutely talentless.

Chad | 7/3/2007, 9:50 am EST

No doubt that “My humps” is the most annoying song ever….James “I’m a big pansy” Blunt’s beautiful song is a close 2nd! 1 song is about humps, the 2nd is about a stalker….ridiculous that these songs get air time!!!

Anonymous | 7/3/2007, 9:54 am EST

no one has mentioned this years worst song, “lip gloss” by lil mama. if you haven’t heard it yet consider yourself lucky

What about the f***ed up Akon’s song: Lonnnnnnneeeeeeeeellllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyy yyy I ammmmmmmmmmmm soooooooooooooooo lonlelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yy.

I love how every Semisonic fan on the planet posted complaints about Closing Time making the list. That song is garbage just like the rest of these.

Eamon – “I Don’t Want You Back”

Thundercrotch | 7/3/2007, 2:00 pm EST

The formula for calculating how much of each person’s life they have wasted listening to bad music is as follows:

BadMusic+Lame Radio StationswithIdenticalPlaylists +Loserrecordlabelswhocan’tfind talent/Minutesinanormalday = “Wow! I wasted THAT much time?”

Jackboy | 7/3/2007, 2:17 pm EST

All the whiny male rockers of the awful early ’00s “BELLOW & OVER EMOTE” trend: Staind, Nickelback, Linkin Park.

Aerosmith, “I don’t wanna miss a thing” . Schmaltz at its all time worst.

Any Lenny Kravitz song. This man can do nothing but REPEAT his sound over and over again in every BLAND song.

Bon Jovi–nearly all his songs. Schmaltzy as well.

Sting: “Desert Rose”. Pseudo-hipster/New Age.

Jackboy | 7/3/2007, 2:21 pm EST

“I’m in love with a Stripper” Trashy can be fun, but this is JUST TRASHY.

The R&B remake of Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” from this past year–ATTENTION RAPPERS: REMAKING A CLASSIC SONG DOESN’T GUARANTEE A DECENT SONG.

The R&B remake of Spandau Ballet’s “True” from this year. GOD AWFUL, PATHETIC. see above.

Jackboy | 7/3/2007, 2:23 pm EST

Blue October–that song that goes “Hate me todaaaaaay! Hate me tomorrooooow!!”

UH Yeah, I hate you and your song. Is this song supposed to be deep? It just sucks a** and destroys my faith in good music in this day and age.

Lado | 7/3/2007, 2:29 pm EST

Ahhhh noooo!!!!

I had completely forgotten about that godawful ‘Closing Time’ song. Thanks for reminding me!

People forgot that J.Lo song from a few years ago that had the saxaphone loop that played over, and over and over and over ad naseum…puke!!! (I forget what it’s called)

conshy | 7/3/2007, 2:52 pm EST

shiny happy people
and anything by akon…
man he sucks.

Steve V. | 7/3/2007, 2:59 pm EST

“Inagaddadavida” – Iron Butterfly.

Yeah, showing my age, but I never liked those retardedly long songs that had seemingly endless guitar, then keyboard, then drum solos. DJ’s love ‘em, ‘tho. They’re called “bathroom break songs.” You know…the 11-15 minute songs that let you REALLY use the bathroom when you have to?? C’mon, you know what I’m talking about. The problem is that these types of songs should have been left in the bathroom, too.

Martin | 7/3/2007, 3:10 pm EST

Great list! Reminds me of the daily rotation of a south-bavarian radiostation i had to listen to many years of my life :(

You americans are so lucky…you thankfully didn’t have the choice to put “Xavier Naidoo” on this list.

Playground In My Mind-
Clint Holmes

Susan- Randy Newman is quoted as having said “Horse with No Name”, isn’t that the song about that kid who THINKS he took acid?

LG3 | 7/3/2007, 4:58 pm EST

What’s annoying about “Closing Time”? As far as I’m concerned, it’s a pretty good tune.

Hoss | 7/3/2007, 5:22 pm EST

Who forgot 867-5309?

LBB | 7/3/2007, 5:40 pm EST

Why Photography by Nickelback? Sure, it’s not the greatest song ever but I wouldn’t call it annoying.

John | 7/3/2007, 5:50 pm EST

I want in on this rant. You caught many of the songs that really tick me off. I’d like to add Beck – Loser.

And for some reason, I love Mambo no 5, :-)

Megan | 7/3/2007, 6:29 pm EST

ahhh some of these songs SHOULD NOT be on this list. as far as “your beautiful” and “my heart will go on”…and “my humps”. who wrote this? some people just don’t have good taste in real music.

Yenrac | 7/3/2007, 7:19 pm EST

What about that “I would walk 500 miles song”…..irritating as can be.

Another one is that even worse New Radicals song, “You Got the Rhythym in You”

I guess you could also throw Meatloaf’s “Objects in the rearview mirror, they appear closer than they are”

Don’t forget Tony Basil’s “Mickey” it’s in the worst song of all time category….

Finally (since these are all off the top of my head) I’d have to add in Paul McCartney’s “Ebony and Ivory” saccharine and way too cuddly-cute. Paul was once awesome, now he settles too much for the maudlin, although he’s getting better recently, he’s still not quite there as “Dance Tonight” or the album before’s “At the Mercy” prove.

I’m sure there’s plenty others….

DNA | 7/3/2007, 8:55 pm EST

i don’t agree with everything on the list – some are guilty pleasures. but it’s a great list, nonetheless. what about that “what if god were one of us?” song? that should have made the list.

Michael From Greenland | 7/3/2007, 11:53 pm EST

Madonna`s Hung Up is My Number One Most annoying song, and Madonna The Most Annoying Artist Right Now.

METALHD/HDUFFHATER | 7/4/2007, 12:05 am EST

THIS IS THE LAST OF MY PICKS OF THE MOST ANNOYING SONGS. DESTINY`S CHILD“SOLIDER“, NICKELBACK“FAR AWAY,(GOTTA PUT NICKELBACK IN THERE) THE BEPS“MY HUMPS“ANYTHING BY THE WHITE STRIPES, HILLARY DUFF“WITH LOVE“(CAN`T STAND THAT SONG) BILLY SQUEIR“THE STROKE, AMY WINHOUSE“REHAB“( DO I LIKE AMY WINHOUSE? NO NO NO!!!!!!

motor inn | 7/4/2007, 1:58 am EST

sister christian – night ranger is the all time most annoying song

Bobby Zimmerman | 7/4/2007, 2:58 am EST

Pretty much any Eagles song. Like the Dude so astutely remarked in the Big Lebowski, “I hate the fucking Eagles man!”

Nick | 7/4/2007, 3:46 am EST

Shiny Happy People?
Radio Gaga?
Madonna’s latest song Hey You?
Britney’s dicsography?
…and so many songs by The Beatles…jeez…

Sam | 7/4/2007, 4:46 am EST

oh mickey you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind! hey mickey!

euro | 7/4/2007, 5:16 am EST

The Americans don’t know Boney M and their song Brown girl in the ring. It was used in the movie Touching the void where the main hero worries he’s gonna die constantly hearing that song

Cadek | 7/4/2007, 5:46 am EST

Anything by James Blunt, White Stripes and NSYNC should be there

pollyanna istanbul | 7/4/2007, 6:03 am EST

how bout some annoying songs from the past… (apologies in advance if this ruins your day by lodging the tune in your skull)

winds of change- scorpions

if God was one of us- joan osbourne

simply irresistible (or) addicted to love – robert palmer

jimmy | 7/4/2007, 7:52 am EST

That trace adkins song Honky Tonk Badonkadonk is annoying as hell

jay | 7/4/2007, 8:35 am EST

“I love the nightlife, I gotta boogie, on the disco ra-haiiiide, oh yeah.”
- “I Love The Nightlife”, Alicia Bridges

If hell exists, surely this is playing on the loudspeakers.

Oh, and “Kokomo” by the Beach Boys too. If you’ve got John Stamos playing drums for you, your decision making abilities are clearly impaired.

damn tall girl | 7/4/2007, 9:00 am EST

Dire Straits Money for Nothing. I love them but this song sucked.

Anything by Shania Twain or Def Leppard that Mutt Lange produced.

Bic Flicker | 7/4/2007, 9:30 am EST

Where the heck is “Freebird”? It qualifies as the most annoying song AND universal request anywhere there’s live music.

Joe Dorodo | 7/4/2007, 11:31 am EST

“Stairway To Heaven” – Led Zeplin, it was ok the first BILLION times it was played on the radio, but it has fallen deep into the annoying category.

Entire Foreigner discography

Entire Los Lonely Boys discography.

Cindy Lauper, all of it.

damn tall girl | 7/4/2007, 1:46 pm EST

Hey Jackboy, not to defend the remake of Tainted Love (which sucks) but the Soft Cell version was a remake of an r & b song.

viceroy | 7/4/2007, 2:40 pm EST

the girl is mine……mine mine by michael jackson and paul mccartney……

Alex | 7/4/2007, 3:32 pm EST

Well, you forgot about Umbrella by: Rihanna

miccc | 7/4/2007, 3:36 pm EST

After a billion more plays, which are certain to happen, Stairway to Heaven will still be an indestructable masterpiece, just like the vast majority of the rest of Led Zeppelin’s output. In the annoying category, I could not agree more with the choice of the entire Foreigner catalogue. Just hideous pop-rock, I’m still shocked that’s not obvious to everyone.

andy greene | 7/4/2007, 4:22 pm EST

every bob dylan song

andy greene | 7/4/2007, 4:23 pm EST

Come on – where’s Hanson’s Mmm-bop? Oh, and Paris Hilton’s entire album should be up there.

Anything R&B, not to mention anything hip-hop

Jack | 7/5/2007, 12:50 am EST

Robbie Williams…anything he sings!

JF | 7/5/2007, 12:50 am EST

The Pusscat Dolls. What is this thing, singing about loosening their butts.. What?? It is buttons? I was sure they were singing about butts.. Still, it is a very bad song.

Nostromo | 7/5/2007, 1:45 am EST

Yer all wrong:

“Don’t break my heart, my achy-breaky heart…”

KATIE -- | 7/5/2007, 2:30 am EST

Cut off their ‘Air Supply’ and send ‘ToTo’ to the pound.

They are the all-time worst, but at least didn’t pretend to rock-out dude like the derivitive nu-rock crap.

Jimbo | 7/5/2007, 8:30 am EST

How can anyone forget Toads “So Help Me Jesus” ?
Closing Time SUX too.
Anything by Gwen Stefani , Avril Lavigne, Nickleback or Eminem

Jimbo | 7/5/2007, 8:32 am EST

errr, Toadies that is

Stiv | 7/5/2007, 8:54 am EST

The Toadies song is “Possum Kingdom”.

Some others that should have been mentioned…”Billy Don’t Be a Hero” and “We Built this City”!!!

alternative grrl | 7/5/2007, 9:16 am EST

everytime we touch by cascada!!!

the first time i heard it it was stuck in my head for a week!! it was incredibly annoying!

DREW | 7/5/2007, 10:40 am EST

What about that stupid “my name is Luca” song…

and “Roseanna” by Toto.

kate | 7/5/2007, 10:49 am EST

all of the songs above make me die a little bit inside every time i hear them, well done.

though my personal all-time kill myself song is marc anthony’s “i need to know”

Anonymous | 7/5/2007, 12:04 pm EST

“I wanna be your girlfriend” = Iceberg that sinks SS Sanity

“Umbrella” = wtf is this even considered a song? It’s just her saying “Umbrella ella ella” over infintum.

Maroon 5

She Devil | 7/5/2007, 12:19 pm EST

London bridge – Fergie
London bridge – Fergie
Hollaback girl – Gwen
Milkshake – Kelis

Oh yeah, and Bon Jovi’s “who says you can’t go home” and the part “it’s alright it’s alright it’t alright…” x10 that makes me really aggessive and I am such a pacifist

pandagirl | 7/5/2007, 12:25 pm EST

How about, “you remind me of my Jeep” by R.Kelly ( or something stupid like that ). ALso the “Lip Gloss” song makes me want to slice my throat open. The song about, “im a hustler, im a im a hustler”, makes me want to jump out of my vehicle while it is still moving down the interstate. Also, anything by Destinys Child (puke), three most offensive females ever, and “I need to know” by Marc Antony, which happens to be playing in my office presently. Pretty Good List…..

laurie | 7/5/2007, 12:33 pm EST

Hey, leave Semisonic alone! One of the very few indie bands on your list…i.e. not assembled by a company for the purpose of making money! I can’t believe Closing Time made the list and MMMBop didn’t. It belongs at #2, with “My Heart Will Go On” at #1

blahblahb lah!!!!! | 7/5/2007, 1:31 pm EST

All rap is gay! It is settled! It’s not even singing its talking like supery un humanly fast!

what's that smell? | 7/5/2007, 1:41 pm EST

james blunt’s actually not that bad but that “You’re beautiful” is way overplayed. Also i agree with the semisonic fans. “Closing time” will never be a classic, but it’s not that annoying either.
My pics are
“Rollin’” or, hell, ANY song by Limp Bizkit.
That goddamn “Hard to Breath” song by Maroon 5. Someone needs to kick Adam Lavine in the nuts for that piece of shit.
And quite frankly, I’m shocked that nobody’s mentioned “CrazyinLove.” That song is almost as annoying as Beyonce herself.

RockStarGirlfriend | 7/5/2007, 2:08 pm EST

I enjoyed the crap music/time wastage formula–so true. There’s that Kevin Lyttle song, “Turn Me On” which is worse than nails on a chalkboard.

Anonymous | 7/5/2007, 2:52 pm EST

Here are some songs that should have been on the list:

Hinder-Lips of an Angel
Avril Lavigne-Girlfriend
Shop Boyz-Party Like A Rock Star
Gwen Stefani-The Sweet Escape
Hanson-MMMBop
anythin g by the Pussycat Dolls

Kathryn | 7/5/2007, 3:21 pm EST

“I would do anything for love” should not be on there. It’s a WONDERFUL song

Kathryn | 7/5/2007, 3:21 pm EST

“I would do anything for love” should not be on there. It’s a WONDERFUL song

pshdasflkha | 7/5/2007, 8:29 pm EST

i love my humps! the Macerana is the most annoying song on that list! & yes, i agree with EVERYBODY who has posted this, Rihanna’s song, UMBRELLA = gotta go on that list! i mean, all of that “ella ella ella ella” junk; no way!

Ur2real | 7/5/2007, 10:03 pm EST

Blue Oyster Cult-(Don’t Fear) The Reaper. Back in the day it was a great song. One of the best concert ever. The over kill

radiotvmusic | 7/5/2007, 11:25 pm EST

i honestly have to dissagree with the semisonic one. i actually like that song, and im almost certain that you can find a more annoying song (try any of daughtry’s catalouge)

Stuart | 7/6/2007, 12:09 am EST

To get really annoying songs you’ve got to go back to the 70’s & 80’s, “World’s Greatest Mum”, “My baby takes the morning train”, “Day trip to Bangelore”, “Tell Laura I Love her”, “Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep”, anything by Bonnie Tyler, “afternoon Delight” , “Aga Doo”, “D.I.V.O.R.C.E.”, “My little Angel”, by William Shakepeare (the shame, the shame!) “Get used to it” by Roger Vidorus, “I want to make you my angel” by Mark Holden (yes him!), “Calling occupants of interplanetary craft” Carpenters

alternative grrl | 7/6/2007, 12:24 am EST

fergalicious by fergie! how many times do we need a spelling lesson to spell a word that doesnt even exist?! (is she trying to prove something?) you’re beautiful by james blunt. he sounds like some 12 year old going through puberty with those incredibly high screeches. and on top of that, its overplayed!

Gord | 7/6/2007, 2:44 am EST

Roseanne Barr

molly | 7/6/2007, 4:42 am EST

How come RS didn’t include “Girlfriend” by Avril? I saw tons of nominations for it.

Ted Stickle | 7/6/2007, 9:06 am EST

Hows about Bad to the bone and Born to be wild. Those really put me in a bad mood. And anything by Avril Lavigne… hate that girl. Or those nice rap songs like “in my white T” or others that repeat the same thing over and over and over again

Ted Stickle | 7/6/2007, 9:06 am EST

How about Minnie Ripperton…..Loving You? Like fingernails on a chalkboard?

Brady | 7/6/2007, 11:40 am EST

Puttin’ on the Ritz by Taco. No song ever recorded is as annoying and inexplicable as this one.

agcasebeer | 7/6/2007, 11:55 am EST

2 additions:
“Seasons in the Sun” by Terry Jacks.
Don’t know the artist or title, but the song used by Heineken for their
light beer commercial, in which the singer sings about ‘don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?” Almost preternaturally bad.

Most of the mentioned songs really do stink. We could probably have a top 100, easily – and nobody’s really gotten into country yet, where many of the real stinkers are.

JSuzart | 7/6/2007, 1:23 pm EST

“My Humps”!!! I forgot that hedious song!!!!
“Stupid Girls” – Pink
“Girlfriend” – Avril lavigne
“Wind It Up” – Gwen Stefani

danny | 7/6/2007, 1:31 pm EST

Hey I like some of those songs!

Crash Test Dummies, “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”
Rednex, “Cotton-Eyed Joe”
Eiffel 65, “Blue”
Baha Men, “Who Let The Dogs Out”
Ricky Martin, “Livin’ La Vida Loca”

those^ are all great!

danny | 7/6/2007, 1:33 pm EST

umbrella by Rhianna can be added to the list though

mdw225 | 7/6/2007, 1:57 pm EST

I can’t believe “Are you Jimmy Ray” did not make the list!

Pete | 7/6/2007, 2:58 pm EST

Lay off the Spice Girls! They’re good.

Anything by Oasis.

droe | 7/6/2007, 3:03 pm EST

This list is pretty close to perfect, but did someone really post “Hey I like . . . Rednex, “Cotton-Eyed Joe” . . . those^ are all great! “?

Dino | 7/6/2007, 3:22 pm EST

Radio Ga Ga – Queen

Puttin’ on the Ritz

Rico Suave – Riiiiicoooooo Suaaaave

Lee | 7/6/2007, 4:23 pm EST

Kokomo-Beach Boys
My God is that a bad and annoying song….

jason c | 7/6/2007, 4:45 pm EST

hey what about “Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell? She sounds like a cat being run through a table saw

Gaz | 7/6/2007, 8:39 pm EST

Cheers to Stuart for Mentioning Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep & Mark Holden. Must be an Aussie like myself.
Also Girls just wanna have fun. Always hated that. Bloody chick songs….

Old Farts | 7/7/2007, 12:03 am EST

Ok People, you have no idea what is truly bad and annoying:

Having My Baby-Paul Anka (WORST SONG EVER!)
Girlfriend-Avril Lavigne ( we are not that old)
Seasons in the Sun-Terry Jacks
Paper Roses-marie osmond ( can’t capitalize that one)
Teen Angel-Ray Peters
Tell Laura I Love Her-Ray Peterson
WildFire-America
Feelings-Mor ris Albert
You Light Up My Life-Debbie Boone
You and Me Against the World-Paul Williams
Knock Three Times on the Ceiling if You Want Me – Tony Orlando and Dawn
Teen Angel-Mark Dinning ( worth Repeating)
Space Oddity Ground Control to Major Tom – David Bowie
Muscrat Love – Captain and Tenille
Surfing Bird – The Trash Men

need we go on?

Old Farts | 7/7/2007, 12:09 am EST

Ok we need to add an addendum:

Kung-Fu Fighting – Karl Douglas

David | 7/7/2007, 12:15 am EST

It’s safe to say that most of today’s music is very annoying.

T-Nasty | 7/7/2007, 12:23 am EST

============================== ===
HAHAHAH!!!!

I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions of awful songs! I’m amazed “Closing Time” is getting so much defense.

Dalton | 7/7/2007, 2:56 am EST

That list could have been comprised solely of nickelback songs. Man, do they ever suck!

gobbledegook | 7/7/2007, 5:30 am EST

can’t believe everyone’s forgotten about “I swear”…who’s gonna beat that?

Ron | 7/7/2007, 2:53 pm EST

Surely ‘Seasons in the Sun’ should have been on here. And how about Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road.

Candace | 7/7/2007, 10:18 pm EST

I really don’t understand how you could create this list without including anything by the insufferable Britney Spears, Creed, and Akon…Seroiously people WTF?

jaymcminn | 7/8/2007, 12:01 am EST

Paul McCartney- “Temporary Secretary” is right up at the top of my list. As is White Stripes’ “Aluminum” from White Blood Cells- makes me hit the skip button whenever I hear it. That “Barbie Girl” song- I had that stuck in my head for two days once. None of these is as annoying as Enrique Iglesias’”Hero”- I think most of my post 9-11 depression came from the endless repetition of that whiny piece of crap.

whitby | 7/8/2007, 12:53 am EST

anything by those annoying pulmonary endowed dames Celine Whitney etc.Eric Clapton and lastly the Grateful Dead

Farfonugen | 7/8/2007, 12:56 am EST

HAHA! I agree that “Kokomo” should have made the cut!

scott storch | 7/8/2007, 7:22 am EST

Jesus Bush | 7/8/2007, 2:48 pm EST

“Stairway to Heaven”- Led Zeppelin
should replace “My Humps”………and anything on the beatle’s white album could make this list………horrid wankers, those beatles………

Brad | 7/8/2007, 2:59 pm EST

Temporary Secretary, one of my least favorite Paul Mccartney songs. He’s still the best ever though… No really. And for all you bashers, Macca is cool again.

zane | 7/8/2007, 3:37 pm EST

Gwen Stefani – Hollaback Girl
Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend
Black Eyed Peas – My Humps
Fergie – Fergalicious
Eminem – FACK

And pretty much most songs that have loud chanting to them and you can’t pretty much escape from them, besides FACK, which wasn’t a single. Loud chanting songs that are constantly on the radio.

zane | 7/8/2007, 3:38 pm EST

Fran | 7/8/2007, 7:30 pm EST

Good list, but still there are so many annoying songs that they didn’t mentioned; they should have made a list of 100 songs instead of only 20.

Stevie Wonder- I just call to say I love you
Anything by REM, that voice can drive anyone to madness
Anything by Fergie
Wind it up-Gwen Stefani
Winds of change- Scorpions, just awful
Anyrhing by James Blunt
I will always love you-Whitney Hudson
All confessions on a dance floor album
How do you talk to an angel?-Jamie Walters
Many of The Beatkes songs are quite annoying
Anything Abba had sang
Another will bite the dust- Queen
Anything by Phil Collins, Boston, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Spandau Ballet, Michael Bolton and Pussycat Dolls
Sexyback- Justin Timberlake
Any reggueaton or vallenato song

The list just goes on and on…

Jack | 7/8/2007, 8:29 pm EST

I quote Lester Bangs via Cameron Crowe: “99% of what passes for Rock and Roll; silence is more compelling.”

But I’ll say “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred, or “Hangin’ Tough” by New Kids on the Block

MAry | 7/9/2007, 9:00 am EST

haha rhianna!! not forget about “hotel california” and every single song of britney spears, spice girls, bsb, five, maroon 5…

ChP | 7/9/2007, 1:48 pm EST

my hump at #1, that’s the best from rs rock list, finally!

GOSH !!!!!!!! Avril Laviene | 7/9/2007, 6:36 pm EST

Avril Laviene-Girlfriend
Should be on there for sure
No we dont like his new girlfriend either but SHUTUP

Also The remix no one liked the first song why make a remix i mean :)

Monsieur | 7/9/2007, 7:45 pm EST

MMM MMM MMM MMM is indeed the worst song ever. I feel like puking when i hear it. Its just like drinkin a glass of animal fat.

Nostromo | 7/9/2007, 9:31 pm EST

I can’t believe you try-hards are still arguing/listing songs – clearly & irrefutably I won with “achy-breaky heart” :)

tothkinson | 7/12/2007, 4:17 am EST

Here are a couple more….
*phil collins….billy don’t loose my number
*thomas dolby…..blinded me with science (??????)
*B-52’s…..rock lobster
*mc hammer….2 legit 2 quit and can’t touch this (pleeeease!!)
*vanilla ice……ice ice baby
*dixie & the midnight riders (something like that)….come on eileen
*falco….rock me amedeous (sp?)
*devo…..whip it
The list could go on and on! There should be a VH1 top 100 list done on this. Between them and the E station, they have lists for everything! Then there is all the country songs…..aren’t most of them annoying? How about the new song about “ticks” by brad paisley? How stupid and annoying is that?

berganzamad | 7/15/2007, 5:24 pm EST

Have you ever heard Anne Murray???? It’s the most annoying music you could ever imagine, I just can’t bear it but my dad loves it. Also I would nominate all of John Denver!!!! God, I hate it so much

Alex C | 7/16/2007, 5:42 am EST

Happily you are very unlikely to ever hear it, but there’s a Dinosaur Jr song, the last track on the album “Bug” called Don’t. And it just has J Mascis screaming “WHYYYYYY DON’T YOU LIIIIIIIIIIKE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?????!!!” in a voice that sounds like he’s being stabbed, over and over again. It’s absolutely unlistenable.

~Confused~ | 7/16/2007, 5:22 pm EST

Truthfully I think the most annoying song is “Tarzan and Jane” by Aqua. I think the best song is “Lips of an Angel” by Hinder. Cuz they rock

Bobo25 | 7/16/2007, 6:38 pm EST

Leah Andreone – “It’s Alright, It’s Okay”

Moby/Gwen Stefani – “Southside”

Sheryl Crow – “If it makes you happy”

Anything by Evanescence, Creed, Train, Alanis Morissette…

Actually Tarzan and Jane was from the spinoff group Toy Box, not Aqua, so “Confused” is confused…so he really should not be making a point…the Proclamiers is by far a great song 500 miles…Unfortunately I would have to save Start me Up….it once was a great song, but sadly from the overplayed major league sporting events has now made it an annoying song….

tothkinson helpful review | 7/19/2007, 8:37 pm EST

Phil Collins song is Rickie don’t lose my number,
*B-52’s…..rock lobster is by far a great song.
*mc hammer….2 legit 2 quit and can’t touch this your dissing the hammer
*vanilla ice……ice ice baby guaranteed that 1 out of 3 people can rap a verse
It’s dexy and the midnight riders
*falco….rock me amedeous (sp?)
*devo…..whip it
The list could go on and on!
And your right, you should send in a list of 100 annoying songs, that was VH1 can do a Top 100 of how many mistakes you will be implementing in how you are misrepresenting the artists/songs

B | 7/20/2007, 12:19 am EST

i agree with calls to include crazy frog on the list. i like that “blue” got on, that was so bad. “mmm bop”, “the logical song” and that ketchup song are contenders.

The Rolling Stones is a great band and had made a lot of good songs.. But: I Can’t Get No Satisfaction got to be the most Annoying Song ever!!

Robert K | 7/28/2007, 12:51 pm EST

The most obnoxious annoying song ever is “slow ride” by Foghat. Like nails on a chalkboard!!!!

haden | 7/28/2007, 10:53 pm EST

Ymca is the most annoying song in the world!

optimus | 7/29/2007, 8:31 am EST

its funny how almost every song on that list hit #1 in either the European or American charts, it just goes to show that everyone has their own opinion, i mean i really like ‘Blue’, but hate ‘My Humps’

feh. | 7/29/2007, 1:32 pm EST

A couple corrections ‘cos the mistakes are annoying me:

‘Rikki Don’t Lose That Number’ is by Steely Dan, not Phil Collins (er, Donald Fagen doesn’t even SOUND like Collins).

‘Calling Occupants (of Interplanetary Craft)’ is by Klaatu, not the Carpenters.

And a hearty laugh at all of you for taking this list so incredibly personally.

Sam | 7/30/2007, 6:43 am EST

‘Destination Calabria’ by Alex Gaudino should be up there

Cosmo | 7/30/2007, 6:54 am EST

This is so stupid, half of those songs were extremely popular at the time they had been released

Johnny | 7/30/2007, 7:29 am EST

lol, wtf? this is rigged, practically everyone of those songs reached number #1 on the Australian top 30 countdown

Johnny | 7/30/2007, 7:34 am EST

WHO THE HELL MADE THIS LIST. LITERALLY EVERY SONG THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED WAS A #1 HIT, THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS SIMPLY TOOK REALLY POPULAR SONGS FROM THROUGHOUT THE DECADES AND PUT THEM TOGETHER

Blake | 7/31/2007, 12:09 am EST

Photograph by Nicelback??!! WTF annoying? no way, and Blue is an awesome song, those are the only 2 worth mentioning and a couple others 2 but im 2 lazy 2 put them on here.

Top Hat 8D | 8/8/2007, 11:25 am EST

May I point out that it is a list of the most annoying songs, and NOT a list of the worst songs ever writen~

The kind of songs that go through from your ear and hide in your brains like worms D:
And they never leave you. THOSE songs.

So Yesterday – Hilary Duff (I’ll be on my death bed singing it. It won’t ever leave my head. I hate it so~)

That Simple Plan song D :

Top Hat 8D | 8/8/2007, 11:29 am EST

Oh yeah! And Mr. Lonely.
That song is so annoying it’s almost likable xD

I think Aqua aims to be annoying. They do it very well~ C=

anything by Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne, Pussy Cat dolls, Paris Hilton or any more of those other wannabe ppl like them should be on the list. way overplayed and bloody mainstream sh**

whatever | 8/21/2007, 12:47 am EST

bicycle- queen
it makes me wanan cry

Fizzle! | 8/23/2007, 4:12 am EST

I hate these songs with a passion:
“London Bridge” Fergie
“Nookie” Limp Bizkit
“Haaaate Meeee”(arrgghh!) Blue October
“Sugar We’re Going Down” Fall Out Boy-

The most annoying song of all time has got to be “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It is so obnoxious that I want to grab pencils and shove them in my ears. Punctured eardrums would be pleasant compared to that piece of crap “song”.

Amanda | 8/30/2007, 12:20 am EST

Most of Gwen Stefani’s solo career, esp. “Sweet Escape” ahhhhh shoot me. Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten”, I hate that song with a passion!

Kalle | 9/3/2007, 6:14 pm EST

Anything by Hinder.

OMG! Barbie Girl is so annoying! I have one thing to say, If Mambo #5 is the Disney one, it is SO NOT ANNOYING! But, “I’m a Barbie Girl In the Barbie World” is really annoying for the first line in a song. If you watch the music video on YouTube, I can see why Mattel sued Aqua, and why you guys made it 11 on the charts.
P.S. What the HECK is “AquaScope”?

Jah_Rastafaarian_Ghettochild | 10/21/2007, 6:04 pm EST

I think you guys should add every song by Rush to the list. Geddy Lee has the most annoying voice ever, and their music is a cross between techno and The Cure-esque crap-punk.

S | 10/24/2007, 1:27 pm EST

The macarena song is proof that there is no god

recyclera | 10/24/2007, 6:04 pm EST

Crank that – Soulja boy

so annoying.

Tashika | 10/26/2007, 2:56 pm EST

I also think these songs are annoying:
-Fergie, “My Humps”, “Fergalicious”
-Baha Men, “Who Let The Dogs Out”
-Nickelback, “Photograph”
-James Blunt, “You’re Beautiful”
-Cher, “Believe”
But I also think these are too: Rihanna, “SOS” “Umbrella”
Avril Lavigne, “Girlfriend”
J.LO, “Jenny from the Block”
Pink, “Stupid Girl”
Hate anything from Akon or John Legend.

Rockin' Roel | 10/28/2007, 4:24 am EST

So, basically, the top 20 most annoying songs are just very popular songs you’re sick of hearing all the time? I would say that that’s pretty lame. Songs I think should NOT be on this list:
- Tubthumping by Chumbawumba
- Mambo No.5 by Lou Bega
- Closing Time by Semisonic (what?), okay it may be repetitive, maybe I just like it because I discovered it, not because it was on the charts. I’ve only heard it on my computer as of yet.

Songs are basically just too hyped to that’s why they’re on this list:
- Macarena by Los Del Rio
- Wannabe by Spice Girls

Song that would have been so much better if it wasn’t Celine Dion:
My Heart Will Go On, they should’ve just kept the flute and thrown the rest away

Blue and Barbie Girl may be annoying, but it’s fun from time to time.

Mary | 10/28/2007, 2:59 pm EST

I agree, except with “Photograph”. I LOVE that song! I would replace Avril Lagvine’s “Girlfriend” with that.

carlos | 10/30/2007, 10:39 pm EST

Chumbawumba, “Tub Thumper” shouldn’t be there.

andrew colomy | 11/11/2007, 10:31 pm EST

“it’s peanut butter jelly time” definitely, if i have to hear that song again ill blow my brains out

Roling Stones Publisher | 11/12/2007, 7:55 pm EST

We forgot to add:

Proclaimers – 500 Miles
Chesney Hawkes – The One & Only
Annie – Chewing Gum
Oasis – Wonderwall
McFly – 5 Colours In Her Hair
Gerry & The Pacemakers – You’ll Never Walk Alone
Anything or EVERYTHING by Westlife

So many more, so little time

Jenny | 11/23/2007, 2:17 am EST

Annoying songs:

All Ricky Martin songs.
Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend (unbelievably annoying)

you serious? idiot. in no way shape or form in rush anything like the cure and or “pop punk”. you definitely need to set the hash pipe down and take a crash course on music.

Sholva! | 12/11/2007, 3:35 am EST

Undoubtedly the most annoying song of all time:

“Axel F” by Crazy Frog

What in the **** were people in the UK thinking when they made it number one?!

And that cotton-eye joe song should be number one. Gives me seizures.

danny2fresh | 12/19/2007, 4:10 pm EST

have we all forgot about holla back girl by gwen stefani.

Andrea | 12/21/2007, 10:50 am EST

Other annoying songs that aren’t included:

1) Cheeky Girls – The Cheeky Song (Touch my Bum)

The chorus for this song goes something like this:
“We are the cheeky girls, you are the cheeky boys.” Most people in their right minds will find this song downright hilarious.

2) Shake Ya Bon Bon & She Bangs – Ricky Martin
3) Wind it up – Gwen Stefani
4) Crank That – Soulja Boy
5) Almost all songs from the Black Eyed Peas
6) Don’t Cha – Pussycat Dolls
7) Rollin’ – Limp Bizkit
8) In Da Club – 50 Cent
9) The Real Slim Shady – Eminem
10) Lonely – Akon

I’m Too Sexy For My Shirt
Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stafani
Beautiful Girls – Sean Kingston
Sexual Eruption – Snoop Dogg

Spare Me | 1/3/2008, 10:38 am EST

Im not sure i agree with all names listed but some I can agree with:

Rihanna Rihanna Rihanna – Most Overrated Artist in the history of music…and winning awards for wat? Singing? they don’t go together i think.

What about singers like Lemar who is so underrated? Ur saying “who”? Look him up Lemar from the UK: Time 2 Grow, Feels Right, Any Justice, Someone Should Tell U…

Back to the Glorified singin Goat.. LOL sorry im being mean…It just frustrates me when people who can’t sing are promoted because of looks and stripping for the camera selling sex.. Uuuggghhh

Anyway She wines in her songs ” I dont wanna do this anymore” and then that Awful song that will probably win the Grammy because 2007 was a Tone Deaf Year if “Under my umbrella ella eh eh” which sounds like a person mocking someone who has a stuttering challenge is considered a song to be nominated for a musical award… Im tired of crap!!!

Kanye West – Oh he crawls my skin with his arrogance, also overrated.

Jay-Z – anything by him is overrated…

Hmmm a trend of talentless Def Jam people…

James Blunt – Beautiful is ok but i don’t think it is super fantastic as people made it out to be…

I disagree with people on:
Amy Winehouse – Rehab
Sean Kingston’s – Beautiful
Hinder – Lips of an Angel

Good thing u didn’t diss Pink’s WHO KNEW… I wud get upset…

Have a Great New Yr everyone…

Some of those songs you posted get stuck in my head. (Like Believe by Cher.) But even so, all of them are overplayed, have simple lyrics, and tend to get on your nerves after a while. Even the songs on that list that I like.

if you dont like these songs then you should write a better one

any idiot can say that other songs are bad . it takes a genios to write a good song .

I can’t help but think this list is a bit biased

*15 of the songs were released between 1996 and 2005
*3 of the songs are europop
*10 of the songs are by 1 hit wonders
*11 of the songs could be considered dance music

Additions I would make are:
I wanna sex you up – Color me badd
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
Do Me! – Bel Biv Devoe
Reach Out of the Darkness – Friend & Lover
The Freshmen – Verve Pipe
Vertigo – U2

anything by gwen stefani is the worst song ever created…lots of songs on here are pretty bad but anything by gwen stefani just pisses me off, i honestly want to jump off a building any time i hear one of her songs. hollaback girl is definitely the worst btw

Me | 1/21/2008, 10:22 pm EST

Offspring’s Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) should be the No.1 in this list.

Eduardo | 1/21/2008, 11:13 pm EST

You’re Beautiful is just OMG! WHAT A HELL IS THIS ANNOYING SONG?

my personal list:
1) ANYTHING THAT VANESSA HUDGENS SING! OMG, MAKE THAT GIRL SHUT UP!
2) Sean Kingston – Beautiful Girls (OMG THAT’S IS TO SUICIDE!)
3) Anything from Avril’s new album (hey hey you you… oh)
4) Anything from Alicia Keys
5) Inconsolable – Backstreet Boys
6) Check On It – Beyoncé
7) Hips Don’t Lie – Shakira
8) 1973 – James Blunt
9) Anything from 50 Cent (ooh!)
10) Lip Gloss – Lil’ Mama (seriously: a song about LIP GLOSS? WHAT?)
11) Brazilian Country
12) Brazilian – Bossa Nova (what a hell is wrong with this country?)
13) Beat of My Heart – Hilary Duff
14) Spice Up Your Life – Spice Girls
15) Take a Bow – Madonna

blue isnt annoying

keyko101 | 1/22/2008, 9:19 pm EST

I’d say Suzan Vega’s “Tom’s Diner” is honestly annoying. It was good in the beginning but now it’s just flat out stupid.

“Ironic” by Alanis Morrisette (sp?) and “Souja Boy” by what’s his name should be on that list.

But I’m surprised that “Domo Arigato, Mr. Robot” wasn’t on the list or that any tv tunes are on the list (come on, listen at that damn Barney song and tell me it’s not annoying!)

keyko101 | 1/22/2008, 9:22 pm EST

Oh, and “It’s a Small World”

Anybody who listens to that song is committing suicide right there.

Erin P | 1/23/2008, 5:23 pm EST

Some of these shouldn’t be on this list. What about “I belive I can Fly”?

Mr Positive | 1/26/2008, 11:22 pm EST

ive come to loathe what the american population calls music. nicklesh*t and puddle of f**k need to find A) lead singers capable of SINGING, and B) songwriters that dont just want to sell cds. but so goes the way of the buffalo. “oh this will make us money, and the radio stations will bury it for us so we wont have to listen to it any more in 7 months!”

spew.

Leo | 1/28/2008, 1:52 pm EST

“My Heart Will Go On” is beautiful, not annoying. Why did the magazine posted that song on the list?

Steve | 1/28/2008, 7:53 pm EST

Okay, some of you people need to get a life. I’m 15 so it’s a little different but Barbie Girl is one of the best teen songs and Cotten Eyed Joe is a great song. There’s a specific dance for that song, so some of you have problems.

Senji | 2/2/2008, 11:10 pm EST

I find these types of polls like “greatest songs of all time” or “worst songs ever” to be idiotic, foolish and driven by personal opinion. How the hell can you make a list rating music, when musical tastes differ for everyone.

Furthermore, this list can not be taken seriously as Creed are not present. ;-)

The Railrider | 2/9/2008, 5:13 pm EST

first of all i dont believe in bad music. some music appeals more to some than to others. people have the right to express their opinions but not so rudely as some of you here. its also a bit biased i myself cannot think of any songs that i believe should go on the list (I’m just to tired to think right now)

Xopher.tm | 2/16/2008, 11:52 am EST

“Cousin Mosquito”.

Google it.

Download and listen.

You’ll embrace everything on the above list as artistic genius.

thousandmiler88 | 3/5/2008, 12:06 am EST

I know some songs I like are annoying. I can admit it! But others I just hate…
1) Hollaback Girl – Gwen (can deal with it once in a blue moon)
2) My Humps – BEP
3) Low – Flow Rida (it’s no. 1 why???)
4) Hey There Delilah – Plain White T’s (horrid, one-hitters)
5) 500 Miles – Proclaimers (how was this ever big? Musta been the 80’s)
6) Lady Hear Me Tonight – Modjo
7) James Brown is Dead – LA Style (but I still like it)
8) Anything by All-Time Low (my sister saw them in concert, and they are the most annoying band ever, and so whiny)
9) All whiny poprock aside from ATL (Fall Out Boy is sometimes okay to me and I’m not including them, so 14 year-olds, rejoice)
10) Wait (The Whisper Song) – yaknow the “Wait till you see my…I’m gonna beat that…”
11) Stars Are Blind – Paris
12) Higher – Heidi Montag (this is a given, and the video is also atrocious)
13) Party All the Time – Eddie Murphy
14) I’ll Be There for You – Rembrandts (and guess what folks — I like iiiit!!!)
15) Wherever You Will Go – The Calling (have they any fans left???)
16) Figured You Out – Nickelback (I think it’s a joke which makes it a little more listenable…but then Nickelback itself is a joke, right?)

thousandmiler88 | 3/5/2008, 12:11 am EST

I forgot Girlfriend – Avril Lavigne. And she’s just an annoying c*nt altogether.

Jack! | 3/7/2008, 5:32 pm EST

WHY IS MMM MMM MMM MMM ON THERE?! I love that song to pieces!
ok here are the REALLY ANNOYING songs you forgot

GREGORRRRY | 3/9/2008, 3:49 pm EST

I think you have to admit that the award for the most RIDICULOUSLY annoying song in the world has to go to this bloke:

Verka Serdushka – Dancing Lasha Tumbai (Eurovision 2007 Ukraine)

It’s legendary. TANZEN!!

Also “Nicolas” is right, “we don’t play guitars” by Chicks on Speed is a well rubbish song. I saw them supportin the Chillies on their UK tour in manchester back in 2003ish, with the one and only James Brown right after. Yeah, there’s a reason you don’t play guitars girls – it’s because you’re S***.

jacjac | 3/10/2008, 9:05 am EST

It’s Chico Time arghhh how is it not in the list?!
Shane Ward (cringe) “That’s my Goal”
Soulja Boy
Anything from FOB! so annoying!
Emo songs!
along with all the obvious ones Paris Hilton, Gwen Stefanni, Boy Bands, and that effin song “Don’t Cha” by Pussycat girls etc etc
But seriously No.1 has to go to Crazy Frog!
OMFG! I’m just after listening to Puttin’ on the Ritz(ss…sss) by Taco I felt physically sick! seriously not feeling well! There should be a poll for songs that are bad for people’s health!

Chuck | 4/11/2008, 7:37 pm EST

Glaring omissions:

“Had a Bad Day” Daniel Powter
“I Will Always Love You” Whitney Houston

:LEvi | 5/6/2008, 10:15 pm EST

I’d avoid these songs in most situations but you can’t seriously tell me these were the most annoying songs of all time???

Where the heck is SClub 7, Pussycat dolls, Backstreet boys etc. All you’ve done here is take a few popular pop songs, a genre I hate but you’ve avoided all the ‘bad’ pop songs, which can be a good deal worse.

mike | 5/15/2008, 2:40 pm EST

The most Annoying song of all time is that “Its all in my head” crap by worthless nelly and the redneck dude. It says the same damn thing “OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN” I could literally strangle the closest person to me just from hearing it. Never have a heard a song that can annoy you so much you could throw your sterio out the window. They should be shipped off of the continent, droped off on a deserted island, and forced to listen to their own curse on humanity until they drown themselves out of shame.

bane | 5/16/2008, 5:16 pm EST

Tay Zonday’s “Chocolate Rain” is one of the best/worst, for sure.

Kelly C | 5/26/2008, 6:27 pm EST

I can’t believe the number one most annoying song on this list was ‘My Humps” by Black-Eyed Peas. It may be annoying, true, with the repetitive lyrics, but that’s not THE most annoying song. I have one that tops even that:
Anyone who is forced to listen to that stupid kid’s show Barney knows that piece of garbage “I love you, you love me” is worse than “My Humps.” Any time I hear that, it makes me want to puke.

Brian | 5/27/2008, 2:30 am EST

What about “Butterfly” by Crazy Town? That’s gotta be one of the worst and most annoying songs ever written.

Greg | 5/27/2008, 2:20 pm EST

“Hollaback Girl”!
Oh, and absolutely ANYTHING by Souljaboy. I can’t believe these songs are getting to No. 1!

“Closing Time” is on the list because they like to play it at bars & shit when they’re closing, and you get sick of hearing it after a while.

Just cuz a song is annoying doesn’t mean its bad. I don’t think thats what they were going for. Some of them were overplayed for a song of average quality (You’re Beautiful) or have incredibly repetitive lyrics (Blue and Tubthumping) though i’m not going to lie Crank Dat by Soulja boy should’ve been top of the list

Most annoying song ever Rihanna -Umbrella (actually any song by Rihanna). Also that god awful Sweet home alabama (rip off) song by Kid Rock I hate it!BEP,my humps I’m glad is no1 but der is worse. Fergie-clumsy,fergalicious,Lon don bridge,big girls dnt cry Most Beyonce songs,PCD songs, stupid emo bands eg FOB,MCR,Madonna and JT 4 minutes is a song that makes me think of dying,an crank dat soulja boy song,Alanis Morisette ironic goes through me! Also Paris Hilton songs are real bad ( but what do you expect from her!),50 cent,akon and dat stupid Chris (I feel like cutting my ears off) Brown his songs are high pitched peices of lovey dovey rubbish.Especially Chris brown – With you. Oh and the (it was fun at first song but after hearing it 100 times is awful)’Rockstar’ by Nickelback

Make them stop. I’ve been turning off the radio for ten years every time one of their songs are put on. They’re drowning out good artists like Aerosmith and Bon Jovi. And my #1 most loathed song all those DJ’s won’t stop playing

Luke | 10/7/2008, 8:06 am EST

What about that song “Escape”? I don’t remember the artist, but it’s the pina colada song. I’ll have to agree the Plain White T’s are heinously irritating, as is anything by that cretinous hack Soulja Boy. I guess the most important thing to remember about this list is the fact that it’s comprised of songs thought by some to be annoying, not necessarily bad. Aside from the “so bad it’s good” school of thought, there are plenty of annoying things that pretty much kick ass. Like the Yankee Rose video.

Stornotoni23 | 10/7/2008, 1:46 pm EST

I think Beautiful Girls and Crazy Frog should be on this. I couldn’t get BG’s refrain out of my head for days. And EVERYONE knows CF is very annoying.

And people, this isn’t a worst song list, it’s a most annoying song list. Like, ones that get stuck in your head for hours (days) on end.

Jill | 10/23/2008, 12:41 pm EST

John Mayer’s “Say what you need to say” is so horrible. It must have taken much thought for him to come up with it-using the same 6 words throughout the entire song is genius. There are many repetitive songs like this one but I keep hearing it on the radio and work and can’t stand it.

I know what im talking about | 10/26/2008, 9:34 pm EST

THE MOST ANNOYING SONG IS I “TRIED TO DO HANDSTANDS FOR YOU”!!!!! HOLY CRAP! THAT SONG IS SO BAD!!!

Or anything by My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Lily Allen, or anything along the lines of those?

Hey, I though “The Gonk” (used in “Dawn of the Dead”) was one of the most annoying tracks EVER…

C’mon, “MMM MMM MMM MMM” is not as bad as a lot of other bilge you failed to mention. Sam Sparro’s “Black & Gold”? “Breathless” by the Corrs? Fall Out Boy’s entire back catologue? That last band can make a song annoying even without actually writing it: If they just come up with one of their pretentious, wannabe Wilde-esque song titles, it’ll have me grinding my teeth for a week.

Mr. Crypt | 12/3/2008, 8:15 pm EST

I nominate [hamster dance] & [Barbie Girl] for the most Annoying Songs on earth

Pakerzfan | 12/7/2008, 7:48 pm EST

Ok ok, now i like most of the songs on there, but i can see how they can make it on there. But c’mon. Let’s be real. My Heart Will Go On is #4? Above Barbie Girl? IF you’ve seen Titanic then idk how that can even make the list at all, much less 4.

THREE DAYS GRACE (they try to act cool by being all emo…I hate their guts…)

SLIPKNOT (trying to act cool)

METALLICA (corny)

CHRIS BROWN (annoying)

and PLIES (encourages kids to be idiots and spend most of their time in jail)

No One by Alicia Keys.
That song just bites. She sounds way to whiney. And what is with the “Ohh Ohh Ohh” with her and the random male singers at the end??? I turn the radio off or to another station whenever it begins to play.

Malinooshk | 2/28/2009, 1:08 am EST

Well Surfin’ Bird by the Trashmen has to be ATLEAST 3rd. It is the best song to put on when no one expects it because it annoys everyone except, that is, the person who originally turned it on (and even them after the first 50 BIRD BIRD BIRD’S).

R Slicker | 3/3/2009, 11:53 pm EST

If you really want to annoy people with songs, here are the worst:

Reckless- Australian Crawl
Ring of fire- Johnny Cash
That’s not my name- The Ting Tings
Wild Strawberries- Pnau (one of the worst songs ever written)
Crazy Frog- SOOOOO ANNOYING
I kissed a girl- Katy Perry
Into the night-Nickelback (makes you want to strangle someone)
Sweet about me- Gabriella Cilmi(AAAAARGH)
Clumsy-Fergie
Mercy-Duffy
Take me on the floor-The Veronicas (this has to be one of the worst songs)
Bad Day-Daniel Powter
We hold on-Kaz James

I agree with all of the songs on the list except for “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.” It’s like one of the ultimate one hit wonder songs of the eighties! And if you were to ever compose a list of the most annoying artists, you should definetily include Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, and the majority of modern musicians today.

CJ | 3/31/2009, 5:14 pm EST

wow alot of you are dumb, this list came out in 2007, miley cyrus and kate perry didnt even have careers then, which is why they didnt make the list.

I would like to add trapped in the drivethru its the most annoying song!!!!

random person | 4/20/2009, 5:36 pm EST

The most annoying songs ever (in my opinion) are:
1. “Axel F” (ONLY the Crazy Frog version. The other one’s fine.)

2. Anything by Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana (her songs are annoying, and they suck so bad)

3. “My Life Would Suck Without You” by Kelly Clarkson. I absoultely HATE that song.

4. “Happy Happy Joy Joy” from that cartoon from the 90s, “Ren & Stimpy” (who remembers it?). That song was pretty annoying, but I love it, lol.

I think I’ll stop there.

My all-time, least favorite song in the world is:

Love Shack – B52’s

That song absolutely sends me over the edge. To say I hate that song would be a massive understatement.

Matt | 4/30/2009, 11:03 am EST

Alixandera Berk should shut up. she ruined a brilliant song on x factor all she did was wine like cat been strangled!!

Of course this is a matter of taste, the 20 most annoying songs rather than the 20 worst. I do like a few of them, but some /are/ very annoying indeed… Btw some wonder why these songs are all so recent. Well, novelty song usually sink into oblivion relatively recently, that’s why.

Scotty Rotten | 5/3/2009, 8:50 pm EST

Eric, I don’t know if you realize this or not, but Fred Schneider of the B-52s has the best job in the world. He gets payed to talk funny in the middle of songs. But in all seriousness, I can’t say I like the B-52s at all.

@Jon

“Photograph” is a tough choice. It’s so hard to choose which Nickelback song to put on this list because they are all so awful.

Joe | 6/1/2009, 7:52 pm EST

What about Scatman?

That’s an annoying song (a good one) but annoying nonetheless.

JakeHilfter | 6/7/2009, 7:04 pm EST

Great post! Just wanted to let you know you have a new subscriber- me!

a reviewer from the states | 6/10/2009, 5:04 pm EST

I’ll give you some…

Anything by Rihanna and her equally untalented partner Chris Brown.

Anything by Fall Out Boy and their clones All American Rejects, Panic at the Disco, Simple Plan,Blink 182, and the rest of those crappy emo punk-pop bands.

Anything by T-Pain, why is this guy popular?

Anything by Soulja Boy, Bow Wow, and that other kid.

Anything by Sean Kingston, terrible “singer”, only famous because family happens to be in the biz.

Anything by Lil Wayne-beginning of crap rap.

Every Britney song.

Dont you want me-Human League, no thanks

500 miles- sukitude

Blue Ocotber-Hate me, I do hate you, for creating an awful pitiful tune.

Worst offender(s) of them all are however….

No Doubt and their frontgirl Gwen Stefani who butchered my ears with Hollaback Girl in 2005.

jimbo m. | 6/12/2009, 2:31 am EST

‘mmm mmm’ and ‘closing time’ have not-bad melodies, just lame lyrics/singing.

eminem should be on the list, and, i agree, ‘hollaback girl’. and did we forget about kid rock?

jimbo m. | 6/12/2009, 2:38 am EST

oh yeah, ‘zombie’ by the cranberries.

Emo-RoXas | 6/14/2009, 6:26 pm EST

I have to agree, Hollaback girl was literally the most annoying song ever.
I think ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ also got annoying after they played it on the radio for the millionth time.
Emo music isn’t annoying at all, only to those idiots who are racist and have no open minds :)

Scorpion | 6/19/2009, 4:12 am EST

The Scorpions – Wind of Change
Sinead O’Connor – Nothing Compares 2U (I get nausea whenever I hear this “song”)
Kaoma – Lambada
The Ketchup Song or whatever its called

The only sensible person here. | 6/21/2009, 1:04 am EST

You are all idiots.

Any song that appeals to someone under the age of 16 is annoying.

from Dallas | 6/28/2009, 8:26 pm EST

Umbrella-ella-eh-eh-eh, why was this #1 for 10 weeks?

I might be the only person on the planet who actually likes the James Blunt song.

And I agree that the emo bands suck, big time.

Kaye | 7/2/2009, 1:50 am EST

Afroman’s “Because I Got High” really should be on this list. C’mon people.

FredB | 7/4/2009, 2:38 pm EST

You’ve missed one of the most obvious.

The winner is…

“Don’t Know What You Got (’Till It’s Gone)” by Cinderella. With a lead vocal that sounds like he gargled with Drano prior to the recording session, it’s a blight on the ears. Responsible for the only time that I attempted to call a radio station on a Friday night and request that they DON’T play this song.

(Dis)Honorable Mention:

1. Ugly Kid Joe’s cover of Harry Chapin’s “Cats In The Cradle”.
2. “(You’re) Having My Baby” by Paul Anka.
3. “The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald” by Gordon Lightfoot.
4. “In The Year 2525″ by Zager and Evans.

All truly terrible hit singles. You cannot underestimate the taste of the American public.

Worst karaoke song (no contest):

“Paradise By The Dashboard Light”. Usually sung quite badly by two (very inebriated) “singers”. Lasts forever, so be sure that the bar has a patio with a bartender or wait staff. You’ll be there awhile.

Richly deserves to be on the list:

“Who Let The Dogs Out”.

Gets a reprieve:

Hanson, for making fun of their one hit wonder “MMMBop” on SNL.

Anonymous | 7/8/2009, 10:44 pm EST

Brokencyde, without a doubt the most annoying thing ever, the guy is clearly having dificulty singing through the GIANT TUMOR IN HIS THROAT

the captain | 7/8/2009, 10:59 pm EST

I don’t know who sings this but that “We pop champagne, oh-ohh” has got to be one of the worst ever. Also add to this “Laffy Taffy” by D4L, I honestly can’t believe that crap was #1 on the billboard charts. And pretty much any song that has the words, Swag(ger), Ballin, or phrases like Throw some D’s.

the captain | 7/10/2009, 12:59 am EST

Oh yeah, need to add a few more here.

So What by Pink- aggravating, predictable, whiny, needs to finally be put to rest

Single Ladies by Beyonce- I’ve never hated a Beyonce song until I heard this one.

Dont Trust Me by some dorky band from Colorado- Stupid lyrics “do the hellen keller and talk with your hips”?, annoying beat, bad voices, disposable.

Anything by Rihanna, lord have mercy she cannot sing

Anything by T-Pain, Lil Wayne, and pretty much any “lil” rapper.

I agree with the emo bands, can’t stand them.

I also agree that the James Blunt isn’t that bad.

But yes, Hollaback Girl sucks, but there’s two more that top it…………..
……Wind it up, and The Sweet Escape by…………… Gwen F’in Stefani. She has never made a good song in my book.

Brian | 7/10/2009, 1:02 am EST

I agree with some songs, but as soon as I saw you had Photograph and My Heart Will Go On, i was like what the heck? So songs can’t actually be original and have meaning and speak to the heart? Nickelback is AWESOME! I totally agree with My Humps. Candy Shop Lollipop, whatever its called, Pushing up my buttons and Don’t cha by the Pussy Cat Dolls – all horrible!!! Dirty songs stink! Also, I think its kinda ironic because of some of the songs on this list are actually really really famous. Who hasn’t heard of the Macarena and its dance? or the line Who let the dogs out? Maybe the key to an immortal song is that it has to be annoyingly catchy. go figure. last thing. Nickelback rocks!

Rick Astley _ Never Gonna give you up.

This list was made before the whole rick roll crap, but im sure if there is another list coming up this one is going to take first place guaranteed.

Annonomasio | 7/14/2009, 6:28 pm EST

Annoying songs:

Giraffes go round up
The plants smile
Newly Married, oh my
The Dog Bites
Hello Angels
Mailman Delivers

‘You are all idiots.

Any song that appeals to someone under the age of 16 is annoying.’

So… SOAD is annoying? nice to know. thanks for the only stereotype that annoys me.

the captain | 7/15/2009, 11:54 pm EST

Wonder why “Closing Time” made the list…… I’ve never met anyone who thinks it’s annoying.

NC Native | 7/16/2009, 12:02 am EST

these stupid fad songs like Soulja boy, Chicken Noodle Soup, etc all suck.

Also that god-awful Lip Gloss song that came out a few years ago, why anyone took that seriously is a mystery to me.

Also anything the queen of crap Avril Lavigne has ever done, even Canada hates her

U and Dat Booty by T-pain and some forgettable person.

HAPPY FACE | 7/18/2009, 7:53 am EST

“I have to agree, Hollaback girl was literally the most annoying song ever.
I think ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ also got annoying after they played it on the radio for the millionth time.
Emo music isn’t annoying at all, only to those idiots who are racist and have no open minds ”

REALLY? REALLY NANCY?
Emo music is annoying to anyone who likes music that doesn’t horribly FAIL at the fundamental levels of musicianship. ANYONE can throw picks at a guitar and cry over a girlfriend/boyfriend/wrist cutting/MOMMY TOOK AWAY MY MYSPACE

Go cry less emo kids :D

HAPPY FACE | 7/18/2009, 7:58 am EST

Also,

“Smile for my Daddy.
What ya lookin at?
Let me see ya Grill
Let ya see my what?!
YA YA GRILL YA YA YA GRILL
Rob da Jewelry sto’ tell em make me a grill”

Why is that NOT on here?

ryan | 7/19/2009, 11:13 pm EST

boom boom pow by the black eyed peas should be added to this list

bob | 7/19/2009, 11:20 pm EST

any britney spears song is annoying

Ray Ray | 7/20/2009, 5:16 am EST

The Element Song!!
But I love it.
Just dont play it a millon times!

Anyways, | 7/28/2009, 3:59 pm EST

in the end music is completely subjective… so everyone is gunna find something annoying and we’re not all gunna agree. but for the record, everyone with half a braincell hates emo. that really just isn’t music whatsoever

michael jackson is # 1!!!!!

megatron | 8/1/2009, 11:22 pm EST

MMM Bop should be number one its the most annoying song ever

mandy | 8/5/2009, 11:36 pm EST

stereotypes, stereotypes, stereotypes. some people are stuck to one genre and have no respect for others. and even as a fan, brokencyde can get annoying but eventually you’d get used to it. t-pain can sing and is creative as with others. anyway, stereotyped people make up these thinngs.

Fan of Simple Plan | 8/12/2009, 10:21 am EST

They should these:
Barney’s “I love you, you love me”
“Twinkle twinkle little star”
“It’s a small world”
Coldplay’s “Fix You”-man it stinks!

In my opinion, “barbie girl” should be first. Just mention it to my friends and they all start moaning.
They should also contemplate adding “Do you believe in magic?” If I have to hear that song one more time, I will either smash the music player or the person who decided to turn it on.Or maybe both.

Jason | 8/12/2009, 5:53 pm EST

what about the Rickroll?

eric | 8/18/2009, 9:06 am EST

ting-tings “that’s not my name” is by far the most annoying song i’ve ever heard. ever.

some guy | 8/18/2009, 3:58 pm EST

After years of listening to tens of thousands of songs from every genre imaginable, I have found a lot of good stuff all across the board, and a lot of stuff that I didn’t particularly like. But I have never found anything that I actually hated. Sure, there are plenty of novelty songs that would become pretty irritating after being played 20 times, but any song will become annoying after enough time, as evidenced by Sweet Home Alabama: a great song that simply became overplayed.

Look, you might want to challenge me and say that there is some song that no one in their right mind could ever possibly like. But I will defend it, whether it be emo, gothic metal, j-pop, T-Pain, SOAD, or even Rachmaninoff, if you are stupid enough to attack him. Trust me, if you’ve heard a song, then I’ve heard that same song or something similar, and it isn’t that bad.

Gobbla Gobbla Gobbla | 8/18/2009, 4:53 pm EST

It’s not really fair to pick on rap, it’s not really music.

I’m okay with Nickelback and Photograph is annoying, and so is that “I’m going home” song by Daughtry for the same reason. Yeah, we get it, life sucks now you wish you were still young etc.

As far as some others that need to be here…

Vertigo – U2 Like the condition vertigo, this song makes me throw up. Half the song is the word ‘yeah’.

Anything Coldplay, again not really music and a great cure for insomnia.

Poke Her Face by Lady Blah Blah, terrible, repetitive, Gwen Stefani was a writer, etc.

Anything Cyrus, Achy Breaky Heart should be on this list and anything by the toothy daughter could be made by cats in heat.

And to finish:
Know Your Enemy – Green Day, simplistic, repetitive and activist simply because it’s popular to be activist.

some girl | 8/18/2009, 8:34 pm EST

That’s the most stupid comment I have ever read Gobbla x3… Of course Rap is music!!! Don’t be so narrow minded.

I agree with the majority of songs on this list… Highly annoying – unfortunately they can be rather catchy at times.

Charlotte | 8/19/2009, 8:27 am EST

avril lavinge’s third album,anything by miley cyrus, jonas brothers, high school musical, paris hilton + lindsey lohan’s pitful attempts at music, lady gaga and the veronicas all deserve some form of punishment as does the black eyed peas for my humps

Anonymous | 8/25/2009, 2:47 am EST

NC Native | 8/25/2009, 7:46 pm EST

Oh geez how could I forget about “So What”?, dear lord that song irritates me, so so much. She also has these two other songs out now, one’s called “Sober”, the other’s “Don’t leave me” that suck major %^&@ as well.

Marieke | 8/28/2009, 6:58 am EST

Naomi | 9/6/2009, 9:05 am EST

Any whiney pseudo rock bands i.e.
you me at 6 and that song ‘finders keepers’ were their lyrics written by a 10 year old??
All american rejects- gives you hell. It did. I bet even their guitars wanted to commit suicide when they got to that guitar solo in the middle.
Any of the disney troupe- miley cyrus, jonas brothers (or should that be JoBro?)
Metro Station- shake it. not suprising seeing as one of them’s miley cyrus’s brother.
Little boots- remedy. I don’t know what it is about her probably how she’s part of this wave of ‘cool’ female soloists including la roux and paloma faith.
Anything simon cowell produces.

Black Eyed Peas-Everything
Other than that i think the issue is radio stations playing ok songs so much that it makes people mad. At this rate ’sex on fire’ by Kings of Leon is going to have a similar fate here

MR TRUTH | 9/12/2009, 10:42 am EST

ANYTHING BY THE BEATLES (I CALL THEM THE CHEATELS BECAUSE THEY WERE DISHONEST AND STOLE THE MUSIC OF THE BLACK MAN), THE ROLLING STONES (OR AS SAY THE ROLLING MOANS CAUSE MICK JAGGER JUST CAN’T SING!!!), PINK FLOYD (THEY’RE PINK LLOYD BECAUSE LLOYD IS AN OLD MAN NAME AND THEY’RE OLD MEN WHO DON’T KNOW HOW TO ROCK OUT LIKE T-PAIN OR LIL WAYNE)

Anything by Katie Perry

David | 9/25/2009, 9:41 am EST

Hi everybody, WHAT”S WRONG WITH YU LOT? Hasn’t ANYONE thought of Tom Tom Club and “Wordy Rappinghood”
Now That’s a song that made me want to stick knitting needles in my ears to burst my eardrums so that the sound would just STOP…

sami | 9/25/2009, 5:04 pm EST

Tubthumping is one of all time best songs. I will make sure I never visit rolling stone website again.

csp | 10/1/2009, 1:14 am EST

Andre | 10/4/2009, 2:13 am EST

This year it’s definitely “good Noght” or how its called from the BEP , can’t stand it anymore

ding-a-ling | 10/9/2009, 10:57 pm EST

No list would be complete without Chuck Berry’s My Ding-a-Ling

JC | 10/22/2009, 6:16 pm EST

There are plenty that I find annoying, but there are 4 that have not seen on this page that I would like to mention.
Two of them are by the same artist, KT Tunstall. One’s called “Black horse and the Cherry tree” and the other is “Suddenly I see”. I hear both of these damn songs at least once a day and each time I hear them I begin to hate them more and more. Boring, dull, and overrated are good words to describe them both.
Third is “Hate Me” by some band named Blue Ocotber, this is another one that I never liked to begin with but still hear it all the time and I hate it more and more.
And finally, “Kernkraft 400″ by Zombie Nation. If you’ve never been to a sporting event since 1999, you probably don’t know about it. This song just in general almost makes me want to not attend a game, because I know at some point it will get played and the fans will jump up and down screaming “Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh”.

Jovian | 10/24/2009, 2:01 pm EST

Awww semisonic needs off this list in the worst kind of way. James blunt, meatloaf and crash test dummies dont really deserve top 20. They might be annoying but not the most annoying radio hits out there.

Cmon.

500 miles, centerfold, we built this city, arms wide open …

And ABBA.

Gina | 10/31/2009, 8:29 pm EST

I love Bye bye bye :D
It’s one of my favourite songs

‘N Sync was the best boyband ever! (L)

Russ | 11/1/2009, 2:19 pm EST

The most annoying song so far for 2009 IMO is “I know you want me” by Pitbull. How anyone can stand listening to that drivel is beyond me.

However I agree with those who are mentioning “Hollaback Girl”. That to me is the worst AND most annoying song ever created. And while I’m at it I’ll add her equally annoying “Sweet Escape” song to.

And while it’s not my favorite, the James Blunt song really isn’t that bad.

tiffany | 11/4/2009, 12:19 pm EST

DUDE! closing time??!!!
no seriously out of all the posible songs
no. that’s not right

Ben | 11/5/2009, 6:02 am EST

I cannot believe that these lists do not include the works of Jethro Tull.

Justin T. | 11/12/2009, 6:53 pm EST

Lady Gaga
Taylor Swift
Kanye west
Jay Sean
…………………… ..
…………. and all of the other rap artists

There’s more. But those guys make me mad! It all sounds like crap.

Justin T. | 11/12/2009, 6:54 pm EST

… except gaga and Swift aren’t rap.

papachango | 11/16/2009, 5:16 am EST

surely such a list is not complete without Agadoo by Black Lace?

Erika | 11/18/2009, 10:14 pm EST

It’s a damn toss-up between the theme from Titanic & Whitney Houston’s version of I Will Always Love You….I’d rather open a vein than have to hear either one EVER again
