A few weeks ago we asked our readers to vote for their least favorite songs from the 1990s, so it was the obvious next move to dial it back 10 years and see what you guys hated in the 1980s. The results are sure to infuriate a lot of people. For the record, I personally disagree with most of these selections. In fact, I love a lot of these songs...
10. Rick Astley - 'Never Gonna Give You Up'...
9. Taco - 'Puttin' On The Ritz'...
8. Toni Basil - 'Mickey'...
7. Bobby McFerrin - 'Don't Worry Be Happy'...
6. Falco - 'Rock Me Amadeus'...
5. Men Without Hats - 'The Safety Dance'...
4. Wham! - 'Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)'....
3. Chris de Burgh - 'Lady In Red'....
2. Europe - 'The Final Countdown'...
1. Starship - 'We Built This City'...

LOL! Oh maaan how do those guys have careers? They had one song that was slightly a hit 100 years ago, and one that is mediocre as hell, and they end up having a career for the next 50 years. People to this DAY actually pay money, buy tickets to see them! SEE WHAT exactly? There’s nothing there!!! It’s two effeminate guys singing absolutely nothing! Look at this.........

How can you tell without opening them? Youtube links are always gibberish so far as I can tell.
Yeah i’m thinking Take My Breath Away by Berlin. Makes me hurl if I hear the first 3 notes
“Werewolves of London” can be annoying if played too much, but I always get a chuckle out of the line that I just made my tagline. LOL.
“Jack and Diane, I smashed a radio playing that song once,”
I heard that if you call Johnny Cougar “Johnny Cougar”, he flips out. I hope to test that theory some day.
If you hated his 80s stuff and feel like making your ears bleed, check out some of his early 90s stuff. I honestly think his trash and Bruce Springsteen’s abject toxic waste are Soviet sonic weapons of some sort.
A Trick of the Tail is the best Genesis album, and I’m a fan of the Gabriel-era (especially ‘The Lamb’). Every song on Trick is fantastic.
The problem was when Tony and Mike started letting Phil write.
Oh now, be nice. Septuagenarians rolling in their Trans Ams with the t-tops out playing "Foreigner" at high volume on the 8-track are the very epitome of cool and always will be.
“Girls just want to have fun”- Cyndi Lauper and anything by Madonna couldn’t suck too much.
God, yes. Ugh.
Add Peter Cetera “The Glory of Love”
“I am a man who will fight for you honor.”
A) Not a man
B) Won’t actually fight
Karma Chameleon. If not the worst song then definitely the worst music video ever.
Well, I would definitely agree with you if you had mentioned “Fly Like an Eagle,” but the 70s had some truly bad music.
I agree, most of these are more “sick of hearing them” than “bad songs”.
One addition I’d make to the list is “Captain of Her Heart” by Double. The whole song was inane and repetitive. It’s like they laid down 15 seconds of music, then put it in the repeater for about 5 minutes. YECH!
“Anyone that says good music stopped before the 80s or 90s is just a fuddy duddy.”
Music (as in pop/mainstream/radio music) seemed to completely fall off the radar to me right around 2000. I’ve heard some good songs since then, but it seems like a bulk of the Top 100 (or whatever it is these days) sounds like the same recycled crap of the past 15 years. There are certainly exceptions, but they seem to be fewer and further in between.
Maybe I’m just getting older :-).
fuddyduddy
good Freeper handle if anyone’s looking
Why did it have to be Terry Kath instead of Peter Cetera?
“Come on Eileen” wins not just because song is terrible but the video is horrible - dirty looking people wearing overalls with no shirts. The women have bird’s nests under their arms. I just lost my appetite thinking of it.
I LOLed for about 10 seconds! Excellent!
