I found a lot of songs on the list I liked. Some were down too low that should have been in the top 10. Some of the songs you mentioned (that I also like) were probably played to death. That's the only reasoning I can get. But, Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue is one that should not even come near that list.
To: Houmatt
OK, if you wanna talk about old songs, do you remember "Jeremiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated, Quick-dissolving, Fast-acting, Pleasant-tasting Green and Purple Pills"?
I swear it's a real song.

The dogs barking "Jungle Bells" should be on there.
Also:
Hall & Oates: "It's a Bitch Girl"

I hope you meant Jingle Bells, otherwise it would mean there were two songs that bad.

Heck, VH1 has even compiled the "top 9 Jen's." Aniston, Lopez and Garner lead the list (guess they couldn't locate a 10th).They should've looked at FR.

In the Year 2525 was by Zagar and Evans. Truly a horrid thing.
No worst of list is complete without it. And to show how bad those guys were, it was their only "hit".
To: mean lunch lady
Yes, I learned that earlier. A neat song. Thanks.

Then again, there's my personal Blues favorite, "Nobody Loves Me But My Mama, and She Could Be Jivin' Too."

Yoko Ono's music is so bad that no one even knows the name of any of her songs.

I think she did one called "Earplugs, nothing more than Earplugs" sung to the tune of (shudder) "Feelings".

I'm sure you and I could come up with a hundred songs that are worse than
anything the Beatles, Stones, or Who recorded. I personally don't see how
any Beatles song could be on a list of the 50 worst songs of all time. "Helter Skelter" is a good hard-rocking tune with an interesting triple fade-out, and the immortal refrain at the end, "I've got blisters on my fingers" that segues beautifully into George's "Long Long Long." Even something like "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" is fun to listen to and sing along with, and is nowhere as stupid or annoying as anything put out by most of the MTV generation.
Heck, I'd rather listen to Their Satanic Majesty's Request straight than anything put out by Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake!

Heck, I'd rather listen to Their Satanic Majesty's Request straight than anything put out by Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake! lol....yup, and that would be quite a painful listen. (I know a guy who actually thinks that it's the Stones' best album, if you can believe it. .....although his longstanding addiction to barbituates might have something to do with it).
Too many horrible songs to mention, although I believe the list above just takes "hits" into consideration.

"Seomtimes When We Touch"?
I HATE that song! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
The man sounds like all the testosterone had been drained from his being. Yuck.

"Midnight at the Oasis" Like all jazz, it is a matter of taste. This would be one of Alan Greenspan's most requested if he hadn't gone into economics.
