Well that all depends if you like rap music or not, if you are a fan of rap you will know that there are some very clever artists. Just shit like 50 cent gives rap a bad name.

No, it's always a man talking over a catchy tune. A man talking isn't music

sit down and listen to some GOOD hip hop, like the stuff in the 90s, NWA, Dr Dre, Eazy E, Snoop Dogg, Tupac and Notorious B.I.G are awesome, also check out tracks produced by J Dilla, it will show you there is definite skill in rap/hip hop. Those guys are just incredible.

Have to agree with the 90s hip hop appraisal. Was a quality time for rap with artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, Gang Starr, De La Soul, Wu Tang Clan. It was a time of innovative sampling, slamming beats and a mindset far removed from the 'gangstas, bitches and money' philosophy so loved by 00s artistes. Like all genres rap has it's good and it's bad. Just a shame that the shit seems to rise to the top.

Cop a listen to the Wham backing singers Pepsi and Shirley singing "All right now" the Free classic - they released it as a single -

Just watched this on You Tube - my guess is they'd never heard the original.

Old thread, but Elbows song One Day Like This is just appallingly dreadful, how many fucking curtains does he have?..

"One Day Like This"

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off a heavy one
Yeah, heavy like a loaded gun

What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love
Oh anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

Someone tell me how I feel
It's silly wrong, but vivid right
Oh, kiss me like a final meal
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

'Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah, lying with you half awake
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

When my face is chamois creased
If you think I wink, I did
Laugh politely at repeats
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin

'Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah, lying with you half awake
Stumbling over what to say
Well, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

So throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right

Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right for life

Throw those curtains wide
'Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
One day like this a year would see me right
And only now I see the light
Throw those curtains wide
'Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
One day like this a year would see me right
And only now I see the light

Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right

Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right

Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right

Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right

One Day Like This is a very good song.

Its a miserable,(clearly) repetitive dirge , should be played at the same time as the National Anthem or funerals.

I’ve been to two weddings where it’s been the first dance. Not a good song.

I think it's a decent tune but the lyrics are appalling.

I think you'll find that Bom Bom Bom song thats all over the place at the moment takes the mantle for worst song ever. It's a disgrace to 'music'

Thanks for the recommendation. Agree with the OP on that song but this one?

I drank 16 pints of rum and then I go bom bom. :-)

Jesus Christ I've listened to the first three examples on this thread & I would say it's a three way tie. Dread to think what lies ahead haha

I’ve got an entry to this thread. While this is musically just below average, and there are some appalling songs listed here, either by design or otherwise, I don’t think there’s anything that competes lyrically with this song. 

It’s called Everything Eventually and was written/ performed by the Appleton sisters, who, after leaving All Saints, attempted to forge a new pop career in a duo group imaginatively titled, Appleton. 

The song is about their daily lives, and as you will see, not a huge amount happened to them on a daily basis. When you combine that with the lyric-crafting skills of a child... well, you’ll see... (at least read the last line if not the entire poetic masterpiece). 

I wake up in the morning
Pull the blinds and see the sunshine
And I wonder if this Monday
Will wipe the rain of yesterday

Lets go fishing down the river
Lets go fly a kite on primrose hills
Take advantage of the sunshine
There's no telling when the rain comes in

I feel good I feel fine
Kicked the flu last week now I'm alright

Come and meet me on the corner
Just pick me up and we can drive
Now I'm sitting feeling pretty
that's the music on the radio

Feel I'm walking away while running
With my favourite song I'm humming

Da da daaaa 
Da da daaaa
Da da daaaa-aah

I walked in to my house
Saw a spider in the bathtub
Then I screamed and then it ran
'Cause it was just as scared as I was
Call my mum to tell her I love her
Cause she always has been there for me
See at last I’m with a family
that'll love me till eternity 

Dressing up with no effort
With my hair up in a pony tail
My jeans are getting rugged
I'll go buy myself another pair

Got a call from by boyfriend
saying he’ll be here at seven (edit - that’s Liam Gallagher)
He said he made a reservation
at our local dining station

As I walked down the street
Puddles soaking up my feet

In the water there's reflection
Of the city streets protection
Stand and face me just in case you
Miss the chance now to embrace me

Lets enjoy this dark and rainy night 
Started here, started there, 
But my skirts a knot and I don't care 
I got home, kissed my daughter 
Jumped into bed with my lover 
Listen to Harry Potter 
On the cassette player audio
