People often argue/discuss the best songs they have ever heard and nobody can agree on any single song which is how, I think, it should be. Perhaps we can find some commonality by discussing our opinions of the ten worst hit songs of all time:
My offerings:
Mary Queen of Arkansas - Bruce Springsteen
The Night Chicago Died
Seasons in the Sun
Billy Don't be a Hero
Island Girl - Elton John
Having My Baby
Midnight at the Oasis
Reasons
Feelings
I Am Woman Helen Reddy
Hot Stuff - Donna Summer
Have at it. No need to slam others' choices, just be interested to see the wide variety of opinions on what makes a bad song
The unexamined life is unworth living - Aristotle
I kind of like "Billy don't be a hero", oh never mind, the one I like is "Billy don't take your guns to town"
I can add, any song by Tiny Tim (I just hated that guy)
Oh my gawd, I am filled with revulsion at your list. I'm not sure I can come up with more.
Wait a minute, I haven't gone through the ABBA catalogue yet.
Voulez Vous
Take a chance on me
And Hall and Oates
I can't go for that
My Sharona - The Knack (I remembered this time, Nick)
Shattered by the Stones
Don't Rock the Boat-The Hues Corporation :oops:
I Want to Rock and Roll All Night-KISS
Without a doubt...
Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'round the Old Oak Tree
Excuse me now... I have to go lie down for a while
I forgot the classic "Lovin You" by Minnie Riperton
Sorry, Jeff -- but while Mightnight at the Oasis may have sappy lyrics, Amos Garrett's guitar work is so tasty, I'll listen to it any time. As for the rest of your list, consign them to heII for me.

Now I have to go back in to psycho thearapy again!!!!!
This thread is very DANGEROUS--this could leave to a ----EAR WORM!!! :twisted: :twisted:
Bungle Through the Jungle-I love J.T. but what where they thinking!!!!! :roll: :roll: :oops: :?
I always hear this:
"Oh I'd like to know if, you've got some lotion..."
But then again, my mind is frightfully dirty.
Anything by Phil Collins. I can't stand his voice at all. Makes me cringe. I also despise The Reason - Hoobastank
Islands in the stream
War - Edwin Starr
What is it good for? - absolutely nothing!
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

Where are the amnesty international human rights types and
Senate hearings when this stuff is released?
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but when
you're a 22lb sledge, do you really have to be?
