Terry Corder… I’ll name 2 if I may. House of the rising sun and a whiter shade of pale. Oh, and peggy sue. Oops, that makes 3.
Phil Gill… Brown Eyed Girl.
Eric Peckham… Anything and everything by the Carpenters. So middle of the road, it should be run over.
Terry Corder… Brown eyed girl. I hate that one as well and Freebird.
Michael Wilson… Anything they play over and over again on Heart Radio. Especially ‘Galway Girl’ by Ed Sheeran.
Alan Esdaile… Loads but Mr Blobby comes to mind.
Eric Peckham… I just want to stick a bullet in my head every time I hear that one.
Terry Huggins… Anything reggae or ska, most punk rock and anything that’s played too often.
Eddie Caffrey… Apart from the obvious ones -long haired lover etc O Lori by Alessi …sooo annoying!!!
Peter Thomson… Y Viva Espana or Una Paloma Blanca. Got me thinking what my problem is with Spain now…
Rick Pentecost… Sweet home bloody Alabama and Freebird
Simon Page… Boo Boo Boo! Rock Me Amadeus by Falco. Life Is Life by Opus.
Peter Antony… I don’t know… I mean there are the obvious ones. But to tell you the truth, I’m probably not that happy with the current top 5, whatever they are this week.
Richard Wood… “Bohemian Ratshit” – pompous, pretentious glam-rock at its worst.
Mandy Wright… The birdy song!!
Eddie Caffrey… Right on Mandy as it falls into the silly category Long haired lover….combine harvester….mr blobby….tellytubbies….bob the builder….

Dave Valentine… I’d be happy to never, ever hear The Boys Are Back In Town again.
Steve Reents… “Happy” by Farrell and everything Bruno Mars has ever done.
Tim Moose Bruce… Summer of 69, the chlamydia song (sex on fire), hi ho stomach lining, valerie by amy wineshop. Loads of songs on this thread started out as good songs but after being aired ad nauseum they end up being annoying, especialy when the bands in question have done loads of excellent stuff that doesnt get played. Good example is Lynyrd Skynyrd. Brilliant band but all you hear is freebird or sweet home alabama. 2 great songs but overplayed to death. Also The 80s stuff produced by stock cube and wateringcan.
John Coleman… Those songs you mention are some of the best ever written, it’s what most people want to hear after working their bollocks of all week, nothing too complicated, they don’t know the B sides of the albums what probably flopped 30 years ago if they weren’t popular they may have not been that palatable. At least we don’t ever get bay city rollers ringing out in hastings! Lol!
Tim Moose Bruce… I like it when a station plays a forgotten song which was a hit at the time. Like the Brian Adams song Kids Wanna Rock. Off the album Reckless which has Summer of 69 and Run to you, the 2 songs which always get aired instead. Both great songs and better than the Rollers lol. Ymca by the village idiots.
John Coleman… Tim, summer of 69 was a spare song which none of them wanted or liked! they had space left on the Album so put that on it. Turned out to be their greatest hit! Also Anything by Ed Shiton and I’ve got a Combined Harvester!
John Warner… The Birdie song.
Tony May… Around The World by Daft Punk and Fast Car by Tracey Chapman! AAARRGGHHH (lol)
Jennie Tocock… Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”, Terry Jacks “Seasons in the Sun”, and Paper Lace “Billy Don’t be a Hero”. And everything by Rolf Harris!!!
Graham How… Absolutely anything by ELO
Stuart Moir… Sex on fire, biggest load of c**p ever and Heart radio constantly plays it over and over and over again, bloody burn it
Paul Huggett… Agadoo, and the effing Birdie Song….
Julian Dunkley… Chris De Burgh
Brian McKenzie… The sun has got its hat on
Ian Ferneyhough… The Birdie Song from The Tweets
Will Cornell… it’s a toss between “Benny and the Jets” and “Crocodile Rock”.
Terry Pack… Moondance, House of the Rising Sun
Chris Fagg… Anything of Rolf Harris’s – now tainted.
Eileen Adams… Boo. The boo radleys
Alan Pepper… Worst number one hits of all time in my opinion – David Soul (Don’t give up on us ) and Telly Savalas (If) they are the pits !! Mind you the mid 70’s charts were pretty bad don’t you all agree ? Whispering grass !! the list is endless……
Moya Wilson… Love shack
Steve Amos… We are the champions by Queen. Especially the line about ‘No time for losers’.

Jan Warren… just thought of some ……. anything by Bonnie Tyler and MeatLoaf …….yuck, to me its just such a MUSH, its not music at all ….. and punk too, apart from The Stranglers, loved them!! ……… and there’s more ………..
Dave Nattress… Actually it’s almost anything my Wife sings. She just has this database of hideous songs that come out of nowhere – and I tell her as well at the time. “God you don’t know how much I hate that song” . This is no secret confession, she knows. I have bought her some horrendous CD’s over the years, stuff she likes, and invariably, I have to tell the check-out staff “this is not for me – I’m a music fan you know”.
Kevin Sherwood… Toto- Africa I don’t hate it i detest it!
Tim Barton… It has been overplayed, Dave but it is actually pretty good 😉 though there are many other lizzy tracks i like more!
Ernest Ballard… Opera for me makes me want to throw up ha ha

Alan Wood… Tie a yellow ribbon round the oak tree!!!!!!!!!!
Tim Moose Bruce… I remember in Wales with you guys on a Die Laughing gig, that mining village. The DJ putting one more record on before you guys came.on. it was freebird. Sage tearing his hair out near the end of the track, he nearly turned into a slaphead.
Nikki Hanson… Tiffany… think we’re alone now
Tom James Cowan… I love MacArthur park saw Jimbo play it recently, apparently Harris told him “Aaaaaar Jimmy Webb I’m going to sing it and become a pop star”
David Edwards… I never want to hear again Miss Cilla Black’s version of any song she covered. But for one song it must be Peter Sarsted’s “Where do you Go to My Lovely”
Michael Wilson… Galway Girl
Di Veness… Controversially: Hotel California. I can’t stand it.
Nigel Ford… Yes Sarah, after all the good songs the writer did for SWEET then that crap Sharona! Mr.Blue sky, one cord, monotone singing intro, even when he wrote it he didn’t think it would be good enough, shame some producer thought otherwise. Sing it back… some duck quacking the backing vocals? Coffee & Tv, horrible screechy (guitar..?) childish vocal tone. Hi-HO, even Jeff hates playing it. Agree all Bruno,f’ ing Mars and “Happy”..loads more, by Boy George, Sam Smith, Will Young, misery loves company as always….. getting late now, don’t want to be thinking this bad before I get some kip!
