Re: masterpieces from January
Iggy Azalea's "Azillion" - um, maybe not *the* worst, but it does sound ridiculous. If they'd put more thought into it, they could've stumbled across a much better rhyme scheme like "incarceration", "nation" and "appreciation". It's got a few problems, anyway. (The n-word soundalike being the most egregious oversight.)
"We Didn't Start the Fire" - burning records in a furnace is never pleasant, but if only the DJs in the '80s had had more nous, they really could've cut this song off at the source. In defence of this version, it's quite well produced and is pretty much in the spirit of the original. But fuck 'em both.
"Red White and You" - ooh, a rock version of "Marvin Gaye" (country, w/e). I knew the thread shouldn't have been named after Meghan, her influence grows by the day.
"Fast Car" - who cares
Throwing Shade - almost feels like it belongs in Earliest mention of the internet in a song or title , the phrases are so clichéd. But I'll reserve criticism until I know whether the archaisms are part of a conceptual joke, or something.

― rhymes with "blondie blast" (cryptosicko), Friday, 25 March 2016 19:45 (eight years ago) link
So... Lukas and the Grahams are stars now? Should we be proud of them? I've always thought of them as "dweebs" rather than "rotters", but it's quite an odd success story. UK number 1, U.S. #3 but U.S. sales #1... That disparity is easily explained, as "7 Years" has the kind of wise wise message that demands to be downloaded or vinyled. AND it's got an original sound not heard since Daniel Powter's "Bad Day". (Not sure where they ripped off the piano line from... Something wise anyway.)
"Work from Home" is appalling shite, and therefore very thread-appropriate. That cheery denialism that Katherine talks about is pretty depressing, at least when heard in isolation. Apparently Fifth Harmony were a lot more conscious of gender relations (or less naive) on their previous album?
Iggy Azalea's "Team" - well, it's encouraging that there was clearly no ghostwriter involved, but printing all the lyrics in the video not a good idea on this song. The backing track and the dancing are great – maybe the vid should've just been those. The rest isn't even as good as the Funny Girls comedy rapping that Iggy both inspired and tried to emulate.
It was posted a while ago, but Say Anything seems like a very interesting artist. He raises big questions, like "How can the guy stand to listen to his own voice, let alone record an entire album?" A fine achievement. Further research could be carried out, but it's not advisable for anybody.
The Uber song, uh, let's just say I don't get any of it, including the title. Is it worth explaining?
Really can't be bothered worrying about yet another pathetic "Large Penis" song. It's even listed as a genre on Apple Music nowadays.

I feel like I've been posting a lot to this thread this year, but at this point I think my personal criteria for posting should be "is this worse than, or at least as bad as, 'Lost Boy?'"
― rhymes with "blondie blast" (cryptosicko), Saturday, 23 April 2016 20:44 (eight years ago) link
Wow, "Lost Boy" is really boring. And it's so long. I guess she was praying we would all get younger while listening to it. Billboard has wrongly called it "The Strangest Hit Song On The Please Click This".
HOWEVER, there are mitigating factors:1. At least there's no ukuleles2. I had just listened to "Fucked Over"
"Fucked Over", that's some true no 1 contender shit. Is it a kind of "Hotline Bling" rip-off, or is it some separate angry genre that's sprung up?
Nice as it is, to hear a worse version of "HighClass Bling" mixed with Baby Dic, but what you get is actually very annoying, sadly. (Oh wait, there may be a bit of Eamon's "Fuck It" in the mix too. The sweary bit.)

if "lost boy" is to be considered one of the worst hits this year based on chatter in here, that is actually an example of a black woman singing a song that fits into a largely white-identified idiom
― dyl, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 17:05 (eight years ago) link
i have no idea what 'lost boy' is and have not heard it (i'm talking about trainor, g-eazy, 'seven years,' puth, etc.), although a glance at my local pop station's playlist would indicate that it's in rotation. and oh dear:
She eventually posted it, and the reaction was immediate: people wanted more. She started to add lines in Vine-able increments. “I would finish studying, come down stairs, and add a line to the chorus,” she explains. “In a week, I had a chorus, so I decided I should turn this into a full song and take it to YouTube.”
The result, built six seconds at a time, is a beatless piano ballad. Chords hang in the air, never pressing on top of each other. Ruth occasionally climbs into falsetto, but the track doesn’t have much movement or drama. Although it’s about finding friends, Ruth sings alone, and this isolation is emphasized by an echo effect. Her Neverland is a place of complete liberty -- “lost boys like me are free” -- and the singer avoids taking sides in the frequently violent squabbles that divide the island’s characters in the original story: “Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy darling, even Captain Hook/ You are my perfect storybook.”

two car trips w top 40 stations in the last two days means i've been exposed to 'seven years' twice now. probably the most grating pop radio song i've heard since 'hey brother' but it's so deeply lodged in my skull so i feel like i've heard it 50 times already. the only joy i get from it is the goofy-ass non sequitur of "i made a man so happy when i wrote a letter once". like i get what he's saying but it (and the whole song really) sounds like a small child telling a story, so hearing that line makes me laugh and offers the smallest respite.
tried to listen to this ruth b song twice and both times i forgot it was playing, which means it's infinitely better than lukas graham who i just learnt also sung that mama don't like you song, god i hate him/them so much.

The fact that someone called Jacob Sartorius had a song titled "Sweatshirt" sounded very promising, until I heard it. It's a hand-me-down of a hand-me-down. He can still regain some important musical cred if he names all of his songs after garments, in increasing order of intimacy when he's reached a more mature age. (That's probably the plan.) On a less relevant note, why did Vevo allow the song to be remixed by a coked-up Noel Gallagher? Really makes that embed painful.

It doesn't sound that bad to me, but on repeat at work it would be terrible. Especially the Falling Down the Stairs sound effect, and the line "I got on a plane to my Emmy".
