@mn5 nah, I like both those, first one is just thrashed by the DJ who provides the blaring music for stadiums around NZ.
Yeah, loyal is a great song. DD at the peak of his powers was oustanding
Not to me, I preferred his stuff with th’dudes much more.
I like his dude stuff too. Be mine tonight is one of his best ever

Had to open an incognito window for this one:
With a few exceptions everything Clapton has done since the mid 70s could go in here.
Dreary middle aged “rock” at it’s worst ( albeit with some good stuff thrown in here and there )
Finally you've given me the impetuous to properly join the thread.
Sting. Anything by Sting. How the fuck do you go from The Police to Sting solo material?

Yeah good call. Most of his solo stuff was self indulgent dross

Hardly a tome is it? What makes him better than John Farnham IMO is writing credits...

Again, Stings solo stuff is bloody hit or miss. Plenty of material for both threads.

I wonder why these two thought this song was a good idea ?
Knock off songs by TV stars trading off their fame shouldn't count. Just like this example
That song is FUCKEN AWESOME that’s why.

@canefan True, otherwise Robson and Jerome would be taking out all the Farties.
- Farties = the award I just invented for these songs, like the Rassies for movies. Farties because they are very close to shit.
If anyone knows who this is without googling I will buy them a virtual beer.
Of course every ferner will claim they do cos everyone thinks they’re clever.
….and there’s no cure for being a fluffybunny…..

Potentially good thread just becoming lists of novelty songs or good or ok songs people got sick from over exposure.
Of those mentioned. Definitely Smash Mouth's 'All Star'.
As in does actually quite well represent the era of the late 90s in its sub-genre of alt rock and hip hop blend.
The lyrics contain the quite (now cliche) but then probably quite 'now' phrase of "get your game on".
Combined with absolutely timeless cliches of "all that glitters is gold" and"only shooting stars".
Then making "mold" into 3 syllables.But jesus christ. The lyric are bad.
The tune is just meh, and of it's time.
