well, I can't say i disagree with anything on the list.

Ehhh. A few of those I'd consider not bad but just throwaway pop stuff. Nickelback and Toby Keith can go to hell, though.

Brokencyde - Freaxxx

Look it up. You will not thank me

This list is worthless without Hanson's UmmBop. Those girls were the worst thing to come out of the 90s.

Adjective Bird Whiskey: Ehhh. A few of those I'd consider not bad but just throwaway pop stuff. Nickelback and Toby Keith can go to hell, though.

Agreed on all counts. That Toby Keith song is horrendous.

Cant argue with the list, though extremely disappointed not to see Proud to be an American by Lee Greenwood.

Holy crap, who let the dogs out?

I remember the German version of Barbie Girl cracking me up when I first heard it. Not brave enough to check again, though.

I don't think Rico Suave belongs there. Sure it held moved Hispanics back a decade or two, but it was no more annoying than Ice Ice Baby, Informer, or Jump. Just stupid pop music that is dumber than usual so it is kind of funny.

If you like Pina Colodas, any song by Color Me Badd and Breakfast at Tiffany's are worse.

yogaFLAME: I remember the German version of Barbie Girl cracking me up when I first heard it. Not brave enough to check again, though.

Speaking of which, I'd nominate pretty much anything by H-Blockx

No Hips Don't Lie? Fail

Creed is always on these lists. They're not any worse than Styx or Journey, etc. I guess they're hated so much because they were so huge for a while. They're better than Nickelback, IMHO.

It's interesting that "Lady in Red" is on there. I always thought it was decent for a chick song. A few weeks ago, my wife told me she really hated it.

Madonna's remake of "American Pie" is on here? They need Sheryl Crow's remake of "Sweet Child O' Mine" too.

"Disco Duck" is supposed to be bad, it's a novelty disco record!

"We Built This City" is deeply hated, too. I guess because it's the point when hippies sold out and became yuppies. I think that's hilarious.

At least none of these acts left the cake out in the rain.

But Toby Keith is a real 'Merican!!

I've never gotten the hate for "We Built This City." "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" was just as big a hit for Starship and a far bigger piece of crap. Grace Slick looks like she's going to strangle kittens, Mickey Thomas or her agent in that video, it's so obvious she hates the song.

The Four Seasons Don't Think Twice is inarguably the worst song in history. It is the only one I can think of that takes a song written by a horrible singer, makes the vocals sound worse, and becomes a bigger hit.

Wow. I'm guessing 'Christmas Shoes' isn't at number 1 because most people (including me) never heard it until now. Wow.

Crank Dat (Soulja Boy) isn't a bad song, just simple. Not every song can be a deep thinker, ya know.

And I hate how most lists like this are completely overcome by Recency Effect. Yeah, I get that you remember more of what happened in the past few years, and your childhood, etc. But do some research.

"We Built This City" will be known forever as a horrible song.

No one is going to remember 15 of the other 19 songs on here for anything in a decade.

Nickelback: you poor, poor coonts.

This made me laugh.

Come one, Lady in Red is a great song. List does great except for that song.

#21 Worst song of all time:
"I Really Hate Being Married to Pam Beasley from 'The Office' So I'm Gonna mke Some Un-Funny Comments And Spike Up My Hair Cause I'm Totally NOT Having a Mid-life Crisis." by James Gunn

I will apply the Fark standard for excellence! If more than 20 people have heard of it, it sucks!!

Can I Borrow a Feeling?

Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.

Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.

Someone to love,
Somebody new.
Someone to love,
Someone like you.

Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.


Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.
Yeah, love me do.
Whoa, oh, love me do.

Funny how the people who rail against these songs and how much they suck also know all the words.

I nominate "total eclipse of the heart".

But this list is pretty spot on...

Marisyana: We Built This City

Because its the worst of everything.

The lyrics are so horrible cringe-worthy, just reading them would sober you up after a night of heavy drinking.

The music itself is a terrible attempt by a washed up hippie band at mimicking one of the other worst musical trends: 80's pop.

The fact that its the skeleton of a very important rock band completely ruining their legend.

The video is an disjointed explosion of every bad cliche/trend from the era.

That is the most complete list of shiatty songs that I've ever encountered. Even the perennial pick for shiattiest song, "We Built This City" was on it. I love how Creed was on the list twice. Awesome.

Then again, I think there is room for one more: "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay

Does this list really encapsulate "of all time"?

Barbie Girl - Aqua

You think hearing this on the radio is bad? You should try seeing an overweight, 40-something couple do a karaoke duet to this song at a dive bar in Pittsburgh.

I had to sing Kung-Fu Fighting just to rescue the party mood.

ChrisPC: Creed is always on these lists. They're not any worse than Styx or Journey, etc. I guess they're hated so much because they were so huge for a while. They're better than Nickelback, IMHO

I agree to some extent. Though With Arms Wide Open is more syrupy than any 80s power ballad. I think the difference between Nickelback and Creed vs the rest of the bands you listed is that Styx, etc. at least give the impression of not being totally serious about what they're singing.


Still not sure hwy we're still talking about Journey or why Don't Stop Believing keeps recharting...

Hmm... Good list.

But what is missing?

Lucille.

Come on, Eileen.

She Blinded Me With Science.


That stupid song by Kajagoogoo....

Farmerjohn48pan: Funny how the people who rail against these songs and how much they suck also know all the words.

When the radio pumps it into your head 9000 times a day for 6 months, it increases lyric retention and hatred.

I'm kind of surprised to Soulja Boy on there. I assume this is because the song is so recent that it's still fresh on most people's minds. I can name worse rap. How about "Laffy Taffy" by D4L or (reaching back) "Whoop there is is".

You do it to yourself, you do. And that's what really hurts.

"We Built This City" should always be at the top of any list with the words "worst" and "all time" in it....

Whats with the Amy Adams comment on Barbie Girl?

This is exactly the reason that hearing "You Light up my Life" causes me physical pain 30 years after it was released.

My wife has all of them on her Ipod.

/approve

I disagree with Barbie Girl - that's some seriously brilliantly catchy pop with a bit of satire mixed in.

I'd never buy it, but the Europop sound (Sweedish, Danish, Norweigan etc.) puts out some scary catchy songs that enable people to dance like idiots. Ain't nothing wrong with that IMO.

/okay, Maybe I'd buy an ABBA album if it was on sale
/last album bought was The Chemistry of Common Life, for reference

Kfed being on that list made me feel bad for him

Was that song ever even released?

no... or i hope not... so why torture him now?

Honestly, the CD player in my car broke 3 years ago and I've been too cheap to replace it. So on my 30 minute (each way) commute I listen to the radio. We have some good college stations in Atlanta so it's usually OK, but sometimes there's a college game of some sort on so I have to click over to one of the other stations (our NPR plays mostly classical here so no relief there). So usually I listen to the hip hop stations because sometimes they break new stuff and because everything else is the "Dave" station or some whiny nu-metal shiat. This is why I hate Laffy Taffy so much.

That's my excuse. I also have one cassette in my car which is an ancient Ice-T and Eazy-E mix tape. So I can always listen to "Colors" when I can't take the radio.

I only know three things.

1. he banged Beasley
2. he made Slither, one of the best horror films ever made
3. you're jealous.

I hate the Miami hip hop sound. It's a personal preference.

I used to like Nickelback but they are now sell-out buttholes.

Nickelback: you poor, poor c*nts.
/Throw in smelly and your dead on

Oh come on. They weren't that bad.

And that one chick with the long hair? More like MMmFAP!, if you know what I mean.
