Ugh. Helen Reddy. Anything by here was good to play if you wanted your guests to leave.
OK, how about Disco Duck? Somebody just shoot me.

AUUUGH! The lost dog song.
How about Heaven on the Seventh Floor? Undercover Angel? Both from 1977.
Fish Heads, just for my amusement.

There are several that have no place on this sort of a list.
And why isn't You're So Vain by Carly Simon not on the list?! After all, the song WAS about whoever she's singing about! (reportedly Warren Beatty)

Novelty songs like Fish Heads, Disco Duck, etc. shouldn't count, IMO. Only songs meant to be taken seriously should be on the list, like Seasons In the Sun.

"I second that. And who actually says; "...genuine toe tapper" anyway? Who is this guy? Grandpa Simpson?"
I think someone from Wisconsin. I was up in MAdison last year and they played a Michael Jackson song on the radio and the DJ said something like "Oooh, that Michael Jackson... he sure was a hot potato wasn't he? He sure made the women turn to apple jelly." Bwahahaha!!!

First let's get this out of the way:
ANYTHING BY "HOLE"
And may I submit that
"I'm a Loser, Baby, So Why Don't You Kill Me?"
...definitely deserves a spot on this list.

"Julie" was the first one I thought of when they made up this list. Great minds think alike!
Although Bobby Sherman turned out to be a pretty nice human being.
Frankly, I know it is the number one song of the millennium in Britain, but the one song that ALWAYS makes me turn the station is "Imagine". It is communist, Utopian nonsense written by a gifted, sad man with emotional and drug problems.

Hard to decide which 50 Joanie Mitchel tunes, if you can call them that, should be on the list. Sacrilege!!
While some of her more, um, "experimental" songs may miss the mark (such is the price of exploring new ground), Joni Mitchell has written and performed countless classics.
A while back I read a survey of responses from an amazingly large number of big/huge names in modern music, in answer to the question of who had most influenced them musically. Across a wide range of styles (e.g. rock, jazz, blues, classical, soul, etc.), the name that was mentioned more than any other was Joni Mitchell.
There is no rhythm, no melody, the lines don't scan, much less rhyme or make sense, and she whines it all.
I couldn't disagree more.

"Lady in Red" by Chris DeBurgh and "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" by Culture Club.
Yes, actually, I did want to hurt that guy! LOL!
