Definitely terrible though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I can tell you lot are but babes and sucklings. Listen to what we got subjected to in 1980: And there's a good half-dozen Paul McCartney songs, severalo decades worth of Cliff Richard, and Wam, and the list goes on. I was waiting for that very first song to become truly awful and it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was cringe-making and woeful but then no worse than the rest of Deacon Blue's back catalogue especially the dire Real Gone Kid which still gets played on Radio2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very formulaic sound coming out of the US in the 00s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Many of the songs highlighted above are obviously awful, but either tongue in cheek or done with the obvious aim of cashing in (which is fine. I don't have a problem with it). Truly hilariously bad songs are those where a guileless writer/performer believes that they are making good music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) There is so much worse music out there. I may be in the minority on here but I quite liked it. Its tongue in cheek and much better than some turgid efforts that I have listened to. Nah, Ive listened to some of their other stuff. Pretty poor fare. Cant believe Jason Hook has agreed to this.

For example - My Pal Foot Foot - The Shaggs - YouTube OMG that is truly terrible. I have managed to live into my mid 50s in ignorance of this band and now they will forever be in my head. On the plus side "music" like this at least allows me to think that my monthly entry to the Basschat composition challenge has some merit.

sammybee Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I'll just leave this here... the bravest amongst you will click on 'Gym', those with a more sensitive disposition might be better off listening to his rendition of 'Billie Jean'... if you survive either of those two 'Wifey Ting' will finish you off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 16 minutes ago, Jus Lukin said: The Shaggs have become quite a cult band. It's actually a rather sad tale of parental delusion and vicarious living, but there is a certain naivety and honesty in that record. I actually enjoy listening to it! I know. The Shaggs' father was no doubt proud of his girls and genuinely believed they were good, but his ignorance caused him to take things a little too far. There is naivety and honesty in the painting your child brings home from primary school. It's terrible, but you don't judge it by any kind of absolute standard, because it's the work of your child. You love them, recognise the effort they put in and want to encourage them. So you praise them, frame it and hang it on the wall (as I did with a couple of my daughter's paintings). Friends tell you it's sweet/cute and you thank/agree with them, but you shouldn't attempt to make any claim for its artistic merit (unless you are deluded). What irks me is the people who use The Shaggs as a vehicle for their own pretensions - claiming they are able to see or hear something special in their so-called music that we mere mortals are unable to perceive, etc, etc. It's terrible music by any kind of yardstick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
