And the Fifty Worst(?) Songs are...

[cybermathwitch]

Gacked from ladysorka

Fifty worst songs, according to Blender magazine. Bold the ones you like. Add why they shouldn't be on the list.


I don't think I can really argue about whether or not something should be on here coherently - if I like them, I like them, and if not, then I don't. It's not always quantifiable.

As an added challenge, strikethrough any songs you *don't know*. (KorenM)

25. I'll Be Missing You ... Puff Daddy featuring Faith Evans and 112
26. The End ... The Doors I like the Doors. This ain't their best, but if you gotta pick a bad Doors song, the Lizard King or Touch Me are way worse.
27. The Final Countdown ... Europe I used to like this song, but I haven't heard it since I developed my musical tastes.
28. Your Body Is a Wonderland ... John Mayer

41. We Didn't Start the Fire ... Billy Joel I actually kinda like this song, don't tell anybody, I'll deny it.
42. The Sounds of Silence ... Simon & Garfunkel I won't even deny liking this song. I hate most of Simon & Garfunkel's other stuff, though.

48. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da ... The Beatles - Come on now, Yoko Ono didn't have a single song on this list. The Beatles don't deserve this kind of treatment. Sheesh.
50. My Heart Will Go On ... Celine Dion


How come "Bungle in the Jungle" by Jethro Tull didn't make the cut? Or "MacArthur Park?" The Macarena? "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison (badly ripping off the Chantrelles "He's so Fine doo lang doo lang dulang")? Or the disco song "Stayin' Alive?" Those are some bad songs.
