DON'T post crap like "2/3 this set <33333". Try at least to say "I liked Song B" or "I didn't like songs A and C".
DON'T post stuff like "I don't know K-Pop but I'll follow the Western list" or "I don't know any of these songs ". I won't notice or care if you aren't commenting about one of the sets of lists, but don't advertise your laziness. Also I'm going to have links to the songs in my countdown, so there's no reason you can't listen to the first 20 seconds of 3-6 songs each set when I listened to at least a 1000 songs for these lists. Who knows, you might find something you never thought you would like!
I'm in the minority that think Ga-in's funk and breakbeat influenced music is pretty lame. It's no more interesting when done by Brown Eyed Girls as a whole with some stupid gospel conventions thrown in. I can appreciate the forwardness of the song, but "fire in the hole" just makes me think of severe urethral irritation, sorry.
Ga-in - Paradise Lost
Props to Ga-in for changing up her sound, but "funeral dirge" wouldn't have been my first choice. Laborious tempo lends itself to being slotted between some Chopin at your next service! Only notable thing about this song was the sacrilegious presentation.
Girls' Generation - Catch Me If You Can
Atonal mess. The one good part is the prechorus, which sounds like it's going somewhere promising until the particularly shitty undulating bassline hits.
Happy they gave the blues stuff a rest but this elevator/call hold music shit is really no better. I've heard harder stuff on my grandmother's easy-listening satellite radio station.
A.H.H.A - Hood On
Song oscillates between a trance section and some awful yolo-swag break with a sax riff. At least I think it's a sax: the timbre and envelope has been mangled to the point where there's nothing characteristic to its sound leaving you unable to identify the instrument. As is, it sounds like squeaking rubber. Oh and there's some awful acid break at the end. Even stripping away that break and the hiphop parts you're left with a wholly uninspired song
Kim Dong Wu - Du Du Du
Not sure if a K-Pop song or a jingle for Folgers and Maxwell House.
FTISLAND - Puppy
Ever wondered what would happen if you layered Baha Men's Who Let The Dogs Out over a barely functional funk track? Try not to laugh at the opening line.
Though I pretty much can confidently say I dislike Mamamoo's music. Um Ah Eh Yeah's "charm" hit me last week, it kinda has a nice inoffensive vibe to it.
As for Gain, her solo stuff is hit/miss for me. Or just...yawn-inducing in my holy book of taste, but that song is also cute imo. However, I prolly wouldn't slap it on my K-Bop playlists.
This song was so poor that some Swift fans convinced themselves that it was supposed to be a parody of Katy Perry. Borrows way too much harmonic and chord content from We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together to be worth a damn on its own.
Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do
Much too airy and atmospheric and the chorus is incredibly lame. You'd have to be as enthusiastic of a masochist as Anastasia Steele to sit through this floaty bunch of nothing.
Andy Grammer - Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah)
While Andy Grammer's Cotton Eyed Joe send-up was pretty bad, this stinker outdid it. Completely unremarkable until the one-minute mark, where the producers decided a hip-hop influenced break was totally necessary and would be an excellent idea.
French Montana ft Chris Brown, Migos - Moses
Average crappy rap song except for the fact that every four bars the Ironside theme from Kill Bill plays, it's startling and only reminds me that I could be viewing something stupid yet entertaining instead of something that's stupid and boring.
Jake Miller ft Travie McCoy - Dazed and Confused
The trend of "you make me feel like [gibberish]" needs to end. The vapidness of the sentiment is highlighted here with some airhead singing "BA DA BA DA" over just an 808 kick and some chanting background goons.
Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea - Pretty Girls
When an artist who is considered harmless by most of the public and who's musical output isn't known for being that great anyways releases something and it's universally panned, even by their fans, you know something's gone horribly wrong. Borrows heavily from Azalea's 2014 song Fancy, even copying the rap structure for Britney's verses by starting them on the second beat. The greatest offense are those annoying chime tones in the chorus. Pretty Girls certainly wasn't the best of the year, but it wasn't even the worst. Yes, everything in the mainlist I consider to be worse than Pretty Girls, the song that everyone hated. You've been warned.
alt-J - Hunger Of The Pine
Watching the guy in the video get shot full of arrows was a lot more stimulating than listening to this attempt at progressive pop, to be honest.
Omarion ft Chris Brown, Jhene Aiko - Post To Be
Tip for making songs based entirely around ebonics: Don't.
