What would be the worst possible 10 track compilation album, eh?
I'll have a go...

2. Theme from On The Up - Dennis Waterman
3. Bed Of Roses - Bon Jovi
4. Little Susie - Michael Jackson
5. Love Will Tear Us Apart - Fall Out Boy

7. Ship To Shore - Chris De Burgh
8. Man I Feel Like A Woman - Shania Twain
9. With Arms Wide Open - Creed
10. I am Your Robot - Elton John

Probably like if a mental murderer recorded himself torturing and ultimately killing people you love, then sent it over to you as a form of psychological torment.

Then again, On The Up. Woof.

I don't get the hate for Man! I Feel Like a Woman. It's hilarious and it knows it but doesn't show it. I enjoy the double meaning in the chorus which means it can be sung by any gender and sexuality. Man, I feel like a woman.

Is it worse than Kirsty McColl's In These Shoes??


(one of the question marks is in the title, the other is because it's a question).

I suppose it's that the composition, production and performance are all obnoxious.

Someone add "Babycakes" by Three of a Kind to their 10-tracker and it'll be set.

10.2 The Shadows - Imagine / Woman (hidden track)


No one's mentioned the Black Eyed Peas' obnoxious classic I Gotta Feeling.

For me, the ones which get under my skin the most are not the obvious Agadoos and Star Trekkin' type wacky hits.  They're the ones which are presented without irony as middle-of-the-road "no one finds this offensive, right?!" Heart FM filler fodder.  In fact, turn on your local Heart FM and write down the first ten songs they play, and that's probably your compilation album right there.

But seriously, special shout out to the Black Eyed Peas and their execrable back catalogue.

oh, it's cute. the first couple of times. nice vid. but after the third time you will want it to stop.

I was seventeen years at Mtv, so I know a thing or two about over-exposure. once upon a time, I'd've had 'black hole sun' in my ten, but not now. plenty of things much worse.

Good call on Queen, I'm nicking that.

1. Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling (obvs)
2. Robbie Williams - Rock DJ
3. Adele - Someone Like You
4. Queen - We Will Rock You
5. Elton John - Candle in the Wind
6. Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You
7. James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover
8. Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like A Woman
8. Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much
9. Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl
10. Fugees - Killing Me Softly

It's not that I dislike pop music - far from it - it's just that hearing any of these tends to instantly make me want to spit blood.

Edit: it's the other Shania track which is even more annoying, with its little spoken asides. Argh.

2. Robbie Williams - Rock DJ
Oh, good choice.

I think I dislike 'We Are the Champions' more than 'We Will Rock You', but very much agreed on that version of Queen.

I should have included 'Galway Girl' by Ed Sheeran on mine. I'm not sure I've heard a more obnoxious song ever.

Remember, this is subjective. I can see why people find it entertaining.

Footie song aside:

What the hell was the deal with these two?

Bell & Spurling - Sven Sven Sven
Bell & Spurling - Goldenballs (Mr Beckham To You)

Who are they?  Where did they come from?  Why did they do two novelty football songs and then disappear?

Couple of Desos there

QuoteThe pair now present their own radio show - The Bell & Spurling Show - on Love Sport Radio, every day from 10am until 1pm

QuoteIn 2018, ready for the World Cup in Russia the duo revamped their classic "Sven, Sven, Sven" and released "Gareth, Gareth, Gareth" onto the unsuspecting public.[4]. It was not a hit.

Yeah, I saw the Wikipedia article of course. I guess my question was more one of: why and how were they able to come out of relative obscurity to score two appearances on TOTP with two pretty dreadful songs (notwithstanding the surprisingly decent live vocal performance)? And why focus only on novelty football songs, as if that's some kind of genre? And then why were they apparently dumped as quickly as they appeared?

Bell & Spurling - Sven Sven Sven

Gail Porter is defiantly not having it in that TOTP intro. Most withering "this is shite" intro I've seen aside from Janice Long introducing Five Star with "it seems this lot are never out of the charts".
