What a load of bollocks. I’ve never been into Joy Division, and I’m not a fan of “Love Will Tear Is Apart”, but I wouldn’t dream of telling someone who is, that they don’t really like music. Music is subjective, it’s means different things to different people.

Nah. It's been overdone, often badly (yes, Burke, I'm looking at you) and it's far from Len's best - but "one of the worst songs ever"?

 

Pooh, Sir. I say again, Pooh!

Who the fuck shortlisted Hallelujah? Possibly one of the worst songs of all time.

"You don't really care for music do you" is from Hallelujah.

[Strontium]

Somewhat relieved that I'm not the only person who thinks Love Will Tear Us Apart is a bag of wank. Sophomoric instrumental overlaid with the languid delivery of someone who very clearly didn't want to be there. I find the whole thing depressing, it's a 3 minute suicide note.

Sorry that the best pop single of the last 20 years doesn't meet with your approval.

You say "the last 20 years" because this was released 20 years and 2 weeks ago.

Haha. I lost track of who was talking about what.

I think the Burke one was what turned me on it. Now I have an almost violence-inducing reaction whenever I hear anything pertaining to the minor falling and the major lifting.

I guess what I'm saying is, you can like it, anyone can like it, but it's baaaaaaaaaaaaasic. Like a woman who says Friends or Sex And The City is her favourite TV show. Or a dude who goes the curry house and orders a korma. 

[Tony Moanero]

Basic?

 

Load of bollocks, Chris.

 

Music snobbery pisses me off. It annoys me when people claim that others don’t really like music because they’re favourite songs are too obvious or mainstream. I nominated three very mainstream songs, I could have chosen more obscure stuff, but I like them and wouldn’t have minded listening to them at that moment in time.

Regular blert or bad blert? 

[TheHowieLama]

Basic blert.

It's one of their most upbeat songs.

Oh come off it!

 

I did however check with SD if he was joking with Girls Aloud via PM and as he said he wasn't it rightly got chosen as it's a GF tournament and everyone's opinons/selections are as important as each others apart from Turdesyes obviously

It's the closest they ever came to pop music.

[Chris]

Here, for example, is a mainstream classic that isn't basic. It's not about scoffing at anything that isn't obscure.

3 out of 4 of them were in New Order

[Carvalho Diablo]

Love Will Tear Us Apart is probably the 2nd worst song in history.

 

Turgid shite is right.

I always felt Atmosphere was the closest.

 

Love Will Tear Us Apart is a great song, neither Paul Young nor United fans managed to ruin it completely. Both came close though.

Save it for the next round, knobhead. This one is a walkover.
