Knee deep in the hoopla
Posted on April 20, 2004 @ 11:51 am
Mac recently made note of Blender’s list of the 50 Worst Artists in Music History. Now, it seems that the magazine has published a list of the worst songs ever. Coming out on top (or is that bottom?) is Starship’s “We Built This City.” I really can’t argue with those findings, although I probably would have gone with “Hotel California” instead. Man, I hate that song.
Other “favorites” on Blender’s list include “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus (#2), “Party All the Time” by Eddie Murphy (#8), as well as some controversial picks like the Beatles’ “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” and Simon and Garfunkle’s “Sound of Silence.”

Hmm. I don’t have an opinion about some of those songs, but for others… well, I find them not-so-bad.
I guess this makes me one of the 50 worst listeners of all time. How would the trophy for something like that look, I wonder.
I think we could come up with a much better list.
Seriously, there have been some songs on the charts that were much worse than those.
Where’s Toni Basil’s “Hey, Mickey”?
Where’s Yoko Freakin’ Ono?
Where’s the entire Disco Era? Peaches & Herb? Sylvester? Donna Summer? Diana Ross?
I’m gonna come up with a list of songs that really made people pull their hair out. Stay tuned.
The 20 Most Hideous Songs EVER!
Jess at Apropos of Something posted about Blender magazine’s recent list of the worst songs ever. The list appears in the May issue: We Built This City, Starship, 1985 Achy Breaky Heart, Billy Ray Cyrus, 1992 Everybody Have Fun Tonight,…
i have to say that all but 2 artists on that list i can’t disagree with. those two being two of my favorite bands, Skinny Puppy and Primus.
and where is the beatles? come on, beatles should be number one with a bullet (in the head).
I’ve never seen the point in making a list like this. It’s all personal preferance, isn’t it? The correct name would be “Joe’s list of 50 worst artists”, and in that case, who gives a damn?
