You Didn't Want It, You Didn't Ask For It; The 2016 ILX Worst Song Poll

Comment on the Spraygun War video:

It's like a can of dog food decided to cover a Death Grips song

voting for that shitty Lucas Graham song

Lukas Graham deserves to win this poll.

^^

pff, he doesn't deserve to win owt.

Especially when that song that goes "I wasn't expecting that" exists.

Finally getting a chance to listen to the Spotify playlist today... I keep wanting to pull the trigger and vote, then I realize that I'm only like 4 songs into the list.

Strong contenders:

• Steven Tyler - Red, White & You (actually I'm not sure if this is worse than the average top 40 country song, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt)
• Bloc Party - Fortress (as a former Kele fan, I feel more qualified to recoil in horror at this one)
• Fall Out Boy ft Missy Elliot - Ghostbusters (a remake of this song could have gone for kitsch, but this one apparently went for blockbuster CGI sub-bass pyrotechnics)

In the end, I have to go with Throwing Shade - hashtag IRL, since it just fails on every level: as a piece of music, as an amusing novelty, as a tossed-off

I love that Kula Shaker still have enough profile to make this list

Avalanches, for most disappointing after a long wait

I suppose it was inevitable that the "sharing economy" propagandic bullshit would make its way, however loosely, into song concepts. can't find a real job, ladies? don't worry, you can spend your time cheerily sexting your boyfriend, who has retconned "Bo$$"

Lil Yachty is the worst thing on the playlist, but isn't in the poll. So, Naomi Elizabeth gets my vote.

that's a very strange choice for 'worst' imo

nearly finished the playlist. lukas graham still possibly in the lead, but bloc party and lewis del mar are not far off. all to play for heading into the final stretch

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Woo, go Grunk!

We listened to every fucking song on the list then forgot to vote

Would have voted for the winner though :)

I can't remember if I ever heard the winner; or rather, since I probably did, what it sounds like. I could easily solve this, I know, but why not spare myself?

"work from home" is still terrible sorry
