The song you hate

The offending artist

The reasons why


E-mail

Welcome to the Jukebox From Hell. These songs compile the cheese wheel of bad pop music. These are the songs that provoke thoughts of hatred and violence. And strangely, many of them end up on disturbing compilations, all released by the same company. You will likely find something that will offend you. My best advice is not to eat beforehand.
