I remember “If I Had a Hammer” by Trini Lopez was one of the records from a painfully small collection owned and blasted out on a regular basis by Radio Ninian in the mid 1960s. I think the bloke introducing the records and making the announcements was Glyn Potter, perhaps someone of a similar vintage to me might confirm this.

I think you're right, the name Glyn Potter does ring a bell. You must have dredged that up from unfathomable depths. Some of his other records I liked such as Heroes and Villains by the Beach Boys.

With you on Elvis. I can sometime be swayed by the people i know that love Elvis. Usually white, thick as shit, a bit racist, and boring pissheads to boot. Maybe i'm missing something and i need a good history lesson on certain genres of music, but Elvis songs seem to bring out the emotive expression of those who can't seem to express themselves when sober, and they seem to get it tragically wrong. I'm here to be educated though :thumbup:

Elvis had a massive, massive influence on R&R and blues singers/musicians.
Some of the people who don't like him are usually those who were around and "active" when he was and they were into something else.

Its a bit like Nile Rodgers, who I don't happen to like [or do I?], having a big influence on R&B and other types of music since the 70's.
Wasn't particularly into that disco stuff at the time, though I do appreciate it has it's place in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, fair shout. I don't like Elvis songs and i'm not really that keen on the people that i know who adore him. I wasn't about when he was doing his thing (i was very young) although i have to concede when it comes to influence, although i'm pretty sure that the people who influenced Elvis probably didn't get much of a look in.

Oh okay thanks for clearing that up. I did think it a bit odd that you would say my opinion was wrong, there are couple on here who might have though.

Regarding the fact that you disagree with my saying that La Freek (I think that's what its called) is repetitive, I am of the opinion that it is fact you who are wrong.

Some decent string arrangements in the song but the same riff in every verse and chorus of the song and no key change, that's what I'm referring to when I say repetitive.

Nah, you're thinking his great great great great great great great great.... great great grandson, Gerhard.

WAM didn't have time for football, he was too busy learning instruments, writing and performing.
Only 35 when he died.

He sounds like a bit of a show off.

Absolutely!

Ialso hate most of the stuff they call "R&B" these days.
It certainly isn't Rhythm and Blues!

If you look back on Everlast's lyrics though they are hardly "fine malt". "I'm not a dago, but pasta's all that" Oof!

It wasn't specified, but I think the point of the thread (and I could be mistaken) is to point out songs that are actually popular and well-liked by others, that you, personally think are shit. Otherwise, we may as well add God Save The Queen -not the Sex Pistols version- I think we can all agree on that. Right?

Sadly all my picks are 'actually popular and well liked by others' (even if only in Leeds and parts of East London in a couple of cases). I think they are shit. As is GSTQ.

But if that is a problem can I pile in on 'Mull Of Kintyre' and 'You Are Beautiful' and anything by Phil Collins!

Never said I liked him or the group.

Just ‘Jump Around’ is a great tune.

Starts with a famous old sample, which not many people realise.

Harlem Shuffle. Funnily enough, it came on the radio the other day and my boy started saying 'Jump Around'. He was quite disappointed!
