Amusing insignificant things, in music, that annoy you.

What are some silly little things, related to music, that irk you? It might be the way a certain drummer holds his stick....or the fact that Mark Knopfler doesnt use a pick to play. Might be the way bono ad libs lyrics at times (that actually does irk me haha).
This is just mean as a bit of fun.

I will start the ball rolling with........I really dont like Bass guitars with more than 4 strings. All my most fave music acts, all have bassists who use 4 strings haha

I find it utterly annoying that major acts and even second level acts that are very well known, find it nesscary to have their band name as a back drop during a show.  I pretty sure I know who I both tickets for whit the stupid reminder.

Awkward and unconvincing lyrics in songs because the lyricist didn't know what else to write.

I think the lyric re-writes Bono done this past few years, for songs on SoS album etc, are HORRIBLE. He says it was to make them more relatable in modern times, but nah, not clever re-writes, but vastly inferior, cringeworthy efforts.

Good songwriting and lyrics are timeless and never need "updating" to be relevant.
