Worst...Song...Ever
Is "We Built This City" the worst song ever?
Far from it. In fact, I would state that many of the songs listed on Blender Magazine's top 50 worst songs of all time simply do not belong a list of this title. Given that these songs were played far too much during their time of popularity, I would agree they might well live is a list name "most Irritating Songs of all time", but many of them are songs I truly enjoy. "Everybody have Fun Tonight?" and "I'm Too Sexy" on the list? "I Would do Anything for Love?". Uncle Cracker's "Follow Me"? Simon and Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence"? Simon and Garfunkel?!??! I think this list is truly created by the type of musical savant who sums up his dislike of a song with a simple two word critique " That sucks. Don't you just love how writing a list automatically gives your opinion legitimacy?
If anything, #2 contender Achy Breaky Heart belongs in the top spot ;)
