[mikepmcs]

I agree with about 10 on the list.  I can think of a lot worse songs that should be on there.


How about Frankie goes to hollywood relax.
Anything from Fatboy slim
Michael Jackson , "wanna be starting something"   mamase mamasa mamakusa....what the crap is that lyric. supposedly translates to mama sees, mama says, mama kills for USA(whatever that refers too)
How about the 3rd Bass song about Vanilla Ice in 1991,  "Pop Goes the Weasel".

What? No James Brown songs?

If I recall didn't Yoko Ono cut an album, I mean she should top the list.

I can't believe Simon and Garfunkel are on the list and Fogelberg's "Longer"..... come on, that's a wedding reception/dance staple.

I could go on all day

Strange selections on that list is all I can say.

[Goodz]

THIS should have been #1...

BILLY RAY CYRUS
"Achy Breaky Heart" 1992

[Bob]

Pete has way to much time on his hands

[rusty lee]

The end by the Doors are these people on crack   

[Jon Smith]

I wanna see a list of the better songs that the people who made the list have written...

[Goodz]

The end by the Doors are these people on crack   

your post made me look over this list again...

TOBY KEITH
"Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)" 2002

Are they kidding me?!?!?!

[Charger-Bodie]

I can say one thing for sure, I wasnt polled for that list !! What a joke!!

We built this city is one of my all time favorites!!

[1969chargerrtse]

Just don't bring the king in there.  You mess with Elvis, we have a problem.

[mikepmcs]

Amen to that one!

A lot of these songs were chart toppers in their day

[Manfred318]

What no Hotel California?? Man I cant stand that song.
I happen to agree with a good portion of the list but I think these shouldnt be on there..Ok maybe the Crash Test Dummies but that song is just so damn catchy.

Mike

Oh, No Mikie!  I can't believe your picking on "JAMES?"  James Brown is great!!!
Mrs.Skip68

[Johnny SixPack]

The whole list could be populated by pretty much anything Ms. Spears has released.

Gotta agree with the Meatloaf tune being on the list though.

"Final Countdown", rocks though!
Ever since the character of Gob (on the T.V. show, "Arrested Development") used that as the opening music for his magic acts, I can seem to get enough of that song.
It's cheese, I know, but I like cheese.
Especially with crackers!

[Nacho-RT74]

insane!!!! I think that list is around 70-80% wrong

you can like or not, but that doesn't mean bad SONGs

God... Meatloaf song is great and lot musical work on it, rithym and armonycal  speaking. More creative that lots around.

[ramit]

Maybe that is supposed to be the 50 worst HIT songs of all time?

[John_Kunkel]

Once again a thread based on personal taste and replies that range from ridiculous to sublime.

In each of these "lists" you'll find somebody's favorite listed in the "worst" category and vice versa. 

[Shakey]

THE BEATLES
"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" 1968

My two little girls (4 & 1) love this song.

[Charger_Fan]

"Stairway to heaven" needs to be on that list.   Sorry you Zep lovers, but the 5,748,739th time I heard that song, it got moved to my permanent 'worst songs' list.

[squeakfinder]

Most of them should have been rapp.

What was the name of that song that went..

       "We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun."   

[NHCharger]

Once again a thread based on personal taste.

I can not believe Boy George and culture club aren't on that list with Carma carma carma camelian or whatever the hell that song was, every time I heard it I had an incredible urge to turn left into oncoming traffic.

[bordin34]

What was the name of that song that went..

       "We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun."   

Mambo number 5

[mikesbbody]

You mess with Elvis, we have a problem.

Long live the KING!  Elvis never made a bad record.   

Aint that the truth  no such thing as a bad elvis record

Oh come on! You young guys are supposed to be such google masters.

[71ChallengeHer]

What? No Hansen on the list     

[sick dawg]

What? No Hansen on the list     

I heard they grew up and became a real band and are touring now.  I was told they don't play umbop anymore.

[TruckDriver]

So, that's what happened to Hanson. That must be why Cody has been kinda quiet around here lately

Must be. I would have bet money that Cody would have started the birthday thread.

"I'm Too Sexy" 1992

I'll have to play it for my girlfriend, and do a strip tease to it too

[myk]

Dukes of Hazzard theme song...

[BlueSS454]

"Stairway to heaven" needs to be on that list.   Sorry you Zep lovers, but the 5,748,739th time I heard that song, it got moved to my permanent 'worst songs' list.

Add every single other LZ song to that list too.  They all suck.  Same with Bob Marley, all his songs suck too.  Alot of the ones on that list, I like.

[PA Dodger]

Songs like "I'm too sexy" and "Ice ice baby" eventually go away since they're top 40. We make fun of them 10 years later when they become a VH1 special. When a song becomes classic rock and you hear it forever is when they really suck. "Trees" by Rush.... are you kidding me!!!! I can't change the station fast enough when this song comes on.  Will everyone PLEEEZE quit buying their music and stop going to their concerts so they go away.

What was the name of that song that went..

       "We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun."   

Sorry been away for a couple days.

The song is titled "Seasons In The Sun"

That song is sung by a Canadian singer named Terry Jacks.  It was supposed to be recorded by the Beach Boys but he eventually released it.  It is the largest selling single in Canadian history.
Went to number 1 in the US and UK.


Lisa, Sorry about the James Brown crack.

O.K. your forgiven!

BTW: How's the car repair going? I wanna see pics! P.M. them!

Lisa
The only pics I have so far are on the parts wanted thread I started.  No repair as of yet cause I'm trying to scab parts were I can.
Gonna call AMD pretty quick and order 2 fenders.  This will be a good time to straighten the car a little from previous owners bodywork/runs, etc...


Sorry for the thread hijack Pete.

Glad I'm not the only one.   I've never bought any Zep albums.
