Songs you hate with every fibre of your being.

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Rubbish. Fix you is a great composition, and is a nice piece of songwriting. There's many ways to criticise Coldplay, granted, but to pick out this when there are much weaker Coldplay songs baffles me.
Each to there own though

The first three albums are excellent and they’re a brilliant live band, IMO. Can’t say I’ve paid much attention to what they’ve done since, but people knock them for the sake of knocking them and it’s unfair.

I was at the gig in Bolton when they filmed the Fix You video. Brilliant show.

Thats kind of the point of this thread though isnt it? It's about specific songs that individuals can't stand. I agree with you, there are many ways to criticise Coldplay and there are much weaker songs, their last few albums are full for them... but personally, Fix You is the one that grates on me.

Yes, you're right, and I can see why it would grate on some. For me it's one of their best songs! That's the beauty of music I guess.

Does anybody ever listen to music they hate and it makes you fucking furious?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Elbow/Magnificent. If I hear it played on the car radio i change channel straight away because it's absolutely wank. Guy Garvey grates on my nerves with his miserable singing style.

Can’t think of too many weaker to be honest, that’s one of the most formulaic they’ve ever done, musically and lyrically, and there’s a few to choose from.

It’s a shit rehash of the scientist.

For fuck sake sake spit it out man. Do you like it or not? We’re in the dark here.

For me, the scientist just kind of ambles along, whereas fix you has that great change of pace halfway in, then returns to finish with a quiet ending. It's this that appeals to me about the song.
It's also lyrically better, Martins vocals sound nicer, and it also has what sounds like a church organ in it, never a bad thing.
Just my opinion of course, and I'm probably talking complete bollox.
Nothing new there ;-)

Anything by status quo, queen or Tom jones. Irrational but I have to turn off immediately

Rude by Magic! Seemed to get played everywhere in 2014 and it has to be one of THE most terrible songs I've ever heard in my life.

Lyrics are shite, music is shite and it made me want to smash up whatever device it was playing out of. We also had a bloke, in my office who was the living embodiment of Colin Hunt from the Fast Show. He used to sing it at the top of his voice.

How I didn't get sacked for assaulting the stupid twat is a testament to my patience and self-control.

It's Whatever you like...
