2017 was… a time. A lot of things happened. We made some friends. We learned a couple of new things. We had some fun. We also listened to a lot of songs\u2014 many of them so overplayed, and so downright terrible they deserve to be buried for eternity and never brought back. Here\u2019s some songs that should definitely stay in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine Dragons<\/a>:\u00a0Believer<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be the first to admit it: Imagine Dragons has some legit bangers.\u00a0Demons\u00a0and\u00a0Radioactive\u00a0are mighty good tracks. But\u00a0Believer\u00a0is not a banger; it\u2019s absolutely not a banger at all. This song is bottom of the barrel, generic trash. I honestly cannot stand this song\u2014 it\u2019s grating, it\u2019s annoying, and it\u2019s still being played in Jeep car commercials 10 months after its release.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lil Pump:\u00a0Gucci Gang<\/span><\/p>\n

A chorus can make or break a song. But sometimes, like in the case of\u00a0Gucci Gang, it can utterly and fundamentally destroy it. Pump says \u2018Gucci Gang\u2019 a total of 53 times in this song. 53. Let that sink in. That\u2019s 52 more times anybody should say the words \u201cGucci\u201d and \u201cGang\u201d together in a sentence. Yet, everybody went with it. Everywhere you\u2019d go those two words would follow. Gucci. Gang. Gucci. Gang. Make it stop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ed Sheeran<\/a>:\u00a0Shape of You<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Genius describes this song as an island-tinged smash. I say it\u2019s more of an island-tinged limp, a stagger from beginning to\u00a0 end. Sheeran\u2019s unmotivated singing makes for an uninteresting listening. Pair that with an irritating and incessant marimba and you\u2019ve got yourself an incredibly annoying song. If just hearing the song doesn\u2019t make you wanna hate it, listen to one of the millions of parodies it got. Oh, you\u2019ll hate it then. You\u2019ll despise it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Katy Perry<\/a>:\u00a0Bon app\u00e9tit<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bon app\u00e9tit\u00a0is probably one of the most monotonous and boring songs I\u2019ve heard all year. It\u2019s filled to the brim with innuendos that only immature middle school students can appreciate. The chorus is grating, the beat is wack, everything is wrong. Not even Migos could save this one. More like\u00a0Bon no thank you pls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now this list, sure isn\u2019t comprehensive. I\u2019m pretty sure some even more terrible tracks flew under my radar. But you know what? Some pretty good music also got released in 2017! And if you\u2019re one of those people that like good music, why not tune into WTBU Radio? WTBU is BU\u2019s very own college radio station, broadcasting from 6am to 2am<\/span><\/span>!
