I've always hated that "Time of my Life" song from Dirty Dancing...and "Walking on Sunshine"...

"We built this city on rock & roll" by Starship.

Irritating music combined with brain-rotting lyrics. The singers sound as if their nuts have beeb numbed by a sledge hammer.

This song is what is wrong with 2FM daytime radio.

Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs
Crazy Frog - Axel F
Lonely-Akon
500 Miles -The Proclaimers

I never listen to the radio, so I don't have this problem.

Theres a really bad one at the moment that gets played on the radio at work a lot but i dont know who it is. Its like a novelty/R&B one with a weird vocoder voice with the chorus containing 'suicidal'. who is it by? Also 'Umbrella' by Rihanna melts my head, and is solely responsible for the weather being sh!t for the last 10 weeks it was No. 1 in the UK. Timbaland's 'The Way I Are'. Ok its not the worst, but the fecking grammar in the title! Kids these days will probably think that's the proper way to say it now.

HelloGoodbye, Here In Your Arms. I thought it was a Daft Punk song when i heard it at first. Annoying as hell.

Oh no.

Bought it on sunday and I haven't been buying much music of late. Think I might well have made a really bad decision. Haven't listened to it yet and the Pidgeon Detectives are sitting with Mark Ronson and so far unheard. Oh and The Twang too.

I don't mind Mika at all and I can take it or leave it. That was until his latest release. That of 'Big Girls'. Absolute shocker and makes me cringe particularly that 'Grab yourself a big lady' line. It doesn't sound like lady but it is.

natasha bedingfield- i wanna have your babies

**Neish** · 01/08/2007, 7:45 PM

Sandi Thom-Punk Rocker. How many punks have you ever seen with flowers in their hair?

**Risteard** · 01/08/2007, 7:53 PM

Agree on Big Girls (You are beautiful).
Easy for a bender like him to say.

Sean Kingston- Beautiful Girls. Class song.

The new one by Fergie and Kelly Rowland .

the Fooking tractor song, jcb whatever came on radio last night, hate it!!!

Mark Ronson has done it again with his "imaginative reinterpretation" of Bob Dylan's Likely You'll Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine). I'm not a Bob Dylan fan, but I'm not a mindless moron either (most of the time anyway). Being kicked to death by long toe-nailed four year olds is too good for him, even ignoring what he did to the Smiths track. All I can say is that Bob Dylan must really need the money.

While I agree entirely with your sentiment in relation to Ronson there isn't a damn thing Bob Dylan or anyone else can do to stop someone releasing a cover version of a song. You just buy a licence from the MCPS and away you go.

So whether it's Ronson desecrating Dylan or if say... Gwen Stefani decided to put her patented Absolutely-nothing-going-on-here-but-a-video slant on the collected works of Sepultura -there's nowt the writer can do to stop another person releasing a cover version of a song (...except maybe break their fcuking neck which is what Ronson has coming to him)

As far as I know the only constraint put on the person doing the cover version is that they cannot add or alter lyrics (other than to delete lyrics) without the consent of the writer and publisher. They can chuck the entire melody, instrumentation and arrangment in the bin if they like.
