Worst Ed Sheeran Song of 2017 = Worst Song of 2017

the pretentiousness of Castle on the Hill makes it the worst for me

fake pathos

voting other for 'perfect' because every time i hear him sing 'dancing in the dark with you between my arms' i wanna punch the radio because who the fuck says 'between your arms' instead of 'in your arms'? ffs i hate this cunt

actually I have to listen to all these songs every day, i just didn't realise they were these songs and they were by him. they're all extremely awful

gotta give him credit for consistency

most of these are absolute abominations but I won’t lie, I actually don’t mind castle on the hill

actually COTH sounds like the work of one of those dodgy bands that bono would’ve signed to mother records in 1980-something, and the hothouse flowers weren’t ever that high on my kill list so it gets a pass from me

Castle On The Hill is part of the recent tradition of MOR radio songs that go 'I remember when I was a little boy / So so long ago now / Running around the back alleys smoking dope and getting in trouble / That was so long ago now I can barely remember / I'm 26 BTW'

don’t know how new it is, bryan adams made ‘summer of 69’ when he was *checks* 26!

important difference there is that summer of 69 slaps fucking hard

Castle On The Hill is part of the recent tradition of MOR radio songs that go 'I remember when I was a little boy / So so long ago now / Running around the back alleys smoking dope and getting in trouble / That was so long ago now I can barely remember / I'm 26 BTW'

Where is the travesty that is Perfect?

i stand with roz

the only way I know of this guy is through Sesame Street

was absolutely stunned to find out he was actually famous

Didn't mind him til 2017- scratch that, until 2017 he was better than every new artist ilm repped for- but since Galway girl he is as bad a every new artist ilm rep for

Didn't care for him till 2017- scratch that, until 2017 he was more annoying than the new artists ilm repped for- but since Castle on the hill he is as good a most new artist ilm rep for

It took me ages to work out what 'Perfect' sounded exactly-but-not-quite like and it's:

Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine which I love to bits but now kind of hate because of this song

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Every time I'm subjected to Galway Girl, I kill a kestrel. That's on YOUR conscience, Sheerhan.

I am very grateful to say that I believe I have not heard that one

Is this at all connected to the tradition of campfire-EDM where a father gives the narrator-son advice like "one day you'll be old and dead, so you should live while you're young and I dunno drop some G lmao"?
