Apparently, somebody talked to Grace Slick on a radio show this morning, and apparently, she agrees with the choice. She said that the song was recorded to make mortgage payments.

The list is seriously flawed, "Who Let the Dogs Out" is not on it.

Whoever wrote that list is a moron. "My 50 least favorite songs of all time" is a fine title and I can see why someone could dislike everything on the list, but there is no way "50 worst songs" could include more than a few of those.

Don't Worry Be Happy >:
Two Princes >:
Final Countdown >:
What's Up? >:
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm >:

These are good songs, damn it. People who try to classify pop as generally and objectively bad music don't know crap about songwriting.

:lol So True.

How could Jefferson Airplane, the band that defined Psychodelic Rock, plummit into a mediocre band(Jefferson Starship) into one of the worst bands ever?(Starship)

Thank God for Hot Tuna

the greatest love of all?

this was known fact before this list, but blender has no right being a music mag, theyre fucking jackasses to cant manage to grasp new concepts or styles of songwriting if it wasnt explained to them beforehand.

Lists like this kind of suck, because they didn't necessarily suffer from bad song writing, but rathe over-exposure on radio, MTV, etc.

And they put FUCKING GENESIS ON THERE, I'LL CUT YOU! >:

I agree that "Two Princes", "Sunglasses At Night", "Don't Worry, Be Happy", "We Didn't Start the Fire", and "Sounds of Silence" were lame choices.

Some personal choices:

Sisqo- The Thong Song
Jeff Carsile- Butterfly Kisses (Remember that one?)

That's all I can think of right now.

The fact the Beatles are on the list make it a huge stinky pile of shit. And what about Mmm-Bop? They should have included that and some other boy band stuff. Much more insipid than the majority of the list.

Bobo Adobo

I think that they sorta wanted to piss people off with this list. Just putting songs on there that everybody knows aren't worth a shit would just be boring.... :/

Sunglasses at night is one of my favorite songs of all time :(. Nothing from Milli Vanilli was on there :< or the BackStreet Boys >: .


gay list :<

Party All The Time was so much better then his duet with Michale Jackson "Whatz Up Wit U"

I agree with mark on Sunglasses At Night.

If they wanted to pick a shitty Bette Midler song, "Wind Beneath my Wings" would've been a much better choice.

Ugh, i hate it when Maginzines do this best/worst 50/100 stuff because it always winds up being shit and is about as deep as a puddle.

I remember when this one mag released the top best 100 bands. They had bands on there i have never even heard of.

I think that "Shannon" song about the dead dog needs to be on there.

-willie

Which one? They are all good contenders for #1.

"Do You Believe in Life After Love?" was the title.

And no, Cher, I don't, and never will thanks to you. >:

That's song is sickeningly overproduced ... and she's supposed to be a singing diva? The tone of her voice is annoying as hell and her range is limited.
