As always with stuff like this, it's a matter of opinion. Obviously a lot of people liked these songs at some point, or they would never have made the top 40.

Starship's "We built this city" is annoying after a number of listenings, but also catchy.

I really can't agree with R.E.M.'s "Shiny Happy People" being on this list. The vocals, including the backing vocals by whatshername from the B52's (Kate _____?) are fantastic.

How they can list some of these songs that may not appeal to every taste with others that are truly execrable, like "Party all the time" or "Achey Breaky Heart", I don't know.

Kate Pierson. One of my favourite female vocalists, I love "Roam" and "Love Shack".
