1 - Any song that isn't performed by the same people/person who wrote it.<P>2 - Any song that uses the word 'baby'..I've heard this was a term of endearment in the 60s but nobody uses it now,so why do so many songs use it??<P>3 - Usage of a sample of another song or even worse; a cover version..lazy,unimaginative,untalented.<P>4 - A song that uses bad language,sexual references or violence to shock people or to sell more...there's nothing wrong with stretching the boundaries but this is just purile.<P>5 - Any singer who puts on a different accent while singing. eg. boybands with fake american accents or garage MCs who,when talking,sound like extras on Eastenders,but when they start singing put on Jamaican accents.<P>6 - Boring,cliched rhyming...like 'hands in the air','just don't care' and/or rhymes that don't rhyme...eg. 'Girl' 'World'.<P>7 - Any musician who relies on looks ahead of talent.<P>8 - A song that repeats the chorus ad nauseum for 4 minutes...Hello Destiny's Child.<P>9 - Any song that has 2 or more people singing the same line simultaneously.<P>10 - Any song that is written because the artist thinks it's what the people want to here,rather than a what he/she/they want to express...Hello modern MSP/Oasis.<P>

Thank you,Simon.<P>It was part serious....and partly meant to be funny.<P>But I think most music lovers will agree wit(sic) me.

As far as I'm concerned, there's only one thing that makes a song rubbish. It's when it falls into the Rap genre. Mind you, if the entire track is just talking, how can it even be classed as a song?<P>Paul.
