It seems the most annoying tune ever written is by the Electronicas, called "Birds dance"
The Netherlands is an uttermost fertile country for annoying musical accomplishes

Hoya!
Oh yeah, home of "Thunderdome"...

bla bla bla... So?
There a so many I just cannot choose! ...bla bla bla
I don't know if you'd exactly call this a 'tune', however:
It's usually...
Doof doof doof doof doof doof ....
-
All the -crap.
I.e. mostly 'uhuh, yeah, uhuh, shake that, uhuh' with 90% of the song consisting of very shallow sexual innuendo (or outright softcore porn).
And don't get me started on house- and/or dance'music'. Pass me the bucket :puke:.

yes :evil:.
I always wondered who needed XTC anyway? Considering me that was for real wussies who cannot be in that state of mind by themselves.
i love hardcore!

Dunno what you think hardcore is, but here it is known as, let's say, house music on steroids.
oh yes, back on topic, the most irritating tunes, one came to mind: "Who let the dog out" If one's playing that again, I'm gonna commit murder :-x!

Anyone remember when that idiot Timmy Mallet released his own track? Still get nightmares! :nervous:

in New York, Hardcore is basically music from the street. that is, totally not commercial. on purpose. it's FAST and LOUD and HARD. full of testoserone and rude in the extreme.
which is why i like it.
:-D
i was quoting from an old Agnostic Front song.
Most Hardcore songs tend to be political. altho, Murphy's Law was basically very funny.
it's where "moshing" first started. and THAT term was invented in CGBG's in the 80's by a fellow who's name i have forgotten. and my friend who was there when it was first mentioned has since died. unfortunately.
the exchange went like this:
charlie (my friend): hey, "unknown name", what's that you'er doing? (watching as the guy is gyrating around the floor)
"guy": uh, mmm......oh! Moshing!
charlie: ah! really!

Hoya!
@cecilia
Well, hardcore is a form of punk-rock, indeed, BUT it is also a form of INFAMOUS techno.
Imagine, at least 200BPM, a piercing bassdrum (think resonating TB303), vocal samples played to a high pitch and looped noise samples. If you want a good example of this crap, try any demo/tune by Jormas (yes, the Amiga demo-group).
Alternatively, you have gabber, which is even more extreme and contains samples from Metal riffs, played high-pitched, too.
Awful!...
Techno is vomit but hardtech is MICROWAVED vomit!

that was my fav music, ten years ago :-)

MAD: i'll take your word for this but obviously this is a newer development and sounds like something that is not to my taste.
the reason NY Hardcore (Government Issue, DRI, CroMags, WarZone, etc) interested me was because it was something that could NOT be stolen by corportations. they made themselves as "unlikeable" as possible in terms of selling themselves as product. that made them honest and full of raw rage!
It's one of the things I like about Stiff Little Fingers (who are more like punk) except that band has melody. But they don't get sappy! ever! they just have great lyrics and great music! and raw power!
-
Hoya!
Well, hardtech is not "new". It emerged in the early 90's.
I did not know that Cro-Mags were hardcore. I though they did Metal. Anyway... It is too close to punk for me to like it, moreover, I do not like ultra-politicised music.

If you can call them tunes There's some urban bloke called fatman scoop, which involves some sort of beat to this rather fat african american man shouting out stuff, and this was in the British charts :-O Also most music played by boy racers, always sounds like they just bought/made a cd full of banging and booming lol
-
@Robert
lol ... very true
-
'Everybody's Changing' by Keane.
Whoever the hell that is. I just know it gets played three times a day at work on the local radio station. It's the most infuriating song ever and I'm pretty sure the piano sample is out of key.
-
Hoya!
@Robert17
Lol! I remember Fat Boy Scoop, he hit the charts some months ago :-D
Well, it is funny how the (crap) music industry is always trying to push electronic crap made by black people as African...
In some remote tribe, they probably pray a TB303 while chanting, sure... ;-)
If you want REAL Afrrican music, listen to Fela! :-)
BTW, does anyone remember "Hithouse"? :lol:
"Say kids, what time is it?" :roflmao:

Remember me!? Rob Gee! Bwlbwlbwlbwlbwlaaah! :lol:
Gabber is still my favorite music. I admit that 80% of it is pure junk, but when done right (Omar Santana, Buzz Fuzz, Lenny Dee, D.O.A., Tellurian, Speedfreak, etc.) it can sound really, really....really great. Sometimes even happier sounds from the likes of 3 Steps Ahead and similar artists could hit the spot...really. :-)
"I want to be a hippie and I want to get stoned on, Mariii, marijuana..." :lol:
-
And speaking of Thunderdomes...I own all of them, legit of course. :-) I must have the biggest Gabber and Hardcore techno CD collection in Canada (and possibly Amiga, too). :-)
-
Hoya!
You actually listen to THAT!!!??!! :-o
Be funky
M A D
-
Yes. It is about the only music style that "does it" for me. Like I said, there's a lot of junk to go through until you find a good track or two, but they are there, rest assured.
I like other forms of electronic music as well, but gabber is #1 in the list, definitely.

I started witing a vewy long and borwing post about the vawious subgenres of hardcore but it got too long... I could pwobably talk about it fowever. Anyway, Cwo-Mags are genewally considered early pioneers of the metal-hardcore cwossover. (Intewestingly, while things got more violent in New York, they were busy laying the foundations of modern indie-wock in Washington DC.)
You could still tell with the Cwo-Mags that they were a hardcore band, they had the group backups and a more "danceable" whythm. These days any slightly unorthodox metal band that goes the independant woute is genewally labelled hardcore.

I hear that "Busted" have totally botched up the brilliant theme tune of Thunderbirds and turned it into an average "Busted" song :pissed:
-
I don't really know. These days you are spoiled for choice when asked "which is the biggest bag of arse you had the misfortune of hearing in the last 24 hours?"

Whist I agree it's a bloody awful song to have to listen to, at least it actually can be called music. There's some chordal variation, structure etc. That's already way more than can be said for much of the crap today.
However, that piano (or whatever the hell it is) really does manage to have the same effect as someone scratching a chalkboard, doesn't it? :-D
I suspect most of the instruments in there are detuned slightly. Done properly, detuning can give a very nice results, eg. seperating a thick chorus of instruments playing in the same range. Alas whatever they did sounds frickin' terrible!

Yep that's correct, I was gonna go see that movie until I found out they do the theme tune, needless to say I've now changed my mind! :-P

this I call a lousy argument. You expect a certain structure, and I think this is a very narrow view towards music (or other arts)
But I have to agree with you that popular music on the radio is utter crap for these reasons:
they're been played at moments you have no desire for that kind of music (one fancies a hot rave party in the morning with his coffee?)
They're been played so mindnumbingly often!
The ideas/concepts behind popular music has been chewed on dozens of times before and are way too simple.

I quite like Spitting Games By Snow Patrol actually, and a couple of new songs by the streets, but that's it. 80s heavy metal all the way for me muhaha, rock & roll :-)

You have your own definition of music and I have mine.
It's not a lousy argument just because you don't happen to agree. I don't *expect* any particular structure and I listen to a very wide variety of music. However, I do expect some structure and there is no need to adopt the presumptious role of "your'e narrow minded because you think something must be a particular way to be defined as such." Now that is a lousy argument :-D
As a hobbyist musician myself, I regard music as being more than a repetetive sound played over and over with no variation, progression.
The ideas/concepts behind popular music has been chewed on dozens of times before and are way too simple.
:lol: That's actually in direct contradiction of your first statement. How can it be too simple? Is that not expecting something in particular (eg a bit of complexity) of it in order for it to be acceptable?
BTW, don't take any of this personally, I'm just really fed up with most recent musical offerings ;-)

hm, you're correct about that in the first place
I said it wrong, I had to say that there are actually two kinds of expectations: the real absolute abstract one you mentioned and the one I try to explain here:
Y'know, most of us expect to listen to music with a "western" set of sounds, rythms and structures. Sometimes with some little eastern or African influences.
Modern music and art are often condemned by many. This is because real new (experimental) types of music can very well conflict with the expectation to hear a western type of music.
I'm just really fed up with most recent musical offerings
I was that already when I was thirteen or so, for the exact reasons I mentioned.
