Massachusetts/I Gotta Get A Message To You -- BeeGees
Honey -- ? (thanks be to God)
Afternoon Delight -- Starland Vocal Band
Seasons in the Sun -- Terry Jacks (Greenpeace spokesman)
Precious and Few -- Climax
Alone Again (Naturally) -- Gilbert o'Sullivan
Playground In My Mind -- Clint Holmes
Disco Duck -- Rick Dees

I broke down the list to three finalists: Seasons In the Sun, Alone Again (Naturally), and Honey

Now, the winner of the most need for duck tape, most terrifying earworm, noseful of 24 hour afterbarf, song to make you insane enough to throw the radio across the room:

Alone Again (Naturally) -- Gilbert o'Sullivan

The problem with a worse list is it is someone's favorite song.

My favorite worse list is anything by the roaches known as the beetles, superficial and way over blown.

See what i mean, I happen to like macarthur park (i like the surreality of it) in all its permeations and don't ask about minnie ripperton, or for that matter rotary connection or genya ravan.

See one mans terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Blender names the worst rock hit in human history. It's "We Built This City (on Rock 'n Roll)" by Starship.

It's not a bad choice. It is a pretty awful song. Sadly a few of their other choices were good songs that were overplayed until you wanted to walk down to the local radio station with an AK-47 and take them off the air. But if they were good enough to be overplayed until your ears started bleeding, then they must have been a good song at some point. Hmmm...

"Signs" by the 5 Man Electrical Band

Hearing that bed-wetting, hippie-freak, quacking away his twaddle makes me fry.

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh

I damn near literally shake with rage when I hear that lame-ass boomer ode. I'm all primed to beat some hippie ass about then.
