bbb Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I have to vote for #3 You're having my baby - as the worst song of all time. Especially the timing of it. Just when I find out where babies come from I have to hear this thing 5 times a day with my parents. I love when Adam Carolla riffs on how horrible that song is. Unlike the 80s, none are guilty pleasures of mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) That brought back some horrible memory's. I might add Maggie May. And to think the decade started off with war pigs. Edit- add marry me Bill. Edited October 22, 2011 by Jim in Anchorage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I like #7, I want it played at my funeral. I also like #6, but do agree with their comment about two people discovering they are cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like #6, but do agree with their comment about two people discovering they are cheating. Funny, those are the only two that I don't hate. I really liked Seasons when it was a hit and was like 12.......But, listening to it now, it didn't sound as palatable as I remember. And, Jim - Maggie May - are you kidding me?!? This was the ten worst - not best! (Although I like You Wear It Well even better from that era of Rod.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Early 70s Rod Stewart is some of the best rock music ever. I doubt you'd have many rock critics say otherwise. Plus, his stuff with The Faces - and you want to put him in with Disco Duck?? In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the song (Maggie May) #130 on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Looks like VH1 had it ranked even higher: 69. "Maggie May," Rod Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I am with bbb, Maggie May to me is an all time classic, also like you wear it well. Now, as to Afternoon Delight..does not come close to belonging on this list. I mean how can you not like a song bout getting a little in the afternoon??

Philly McButterpants Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Anything by Rod Stewart belongs on the ash heap of music history. :sick: :sick: :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Rod Stewart's vocals can be grating but I don't see how anybody can consider Maggie May to be a bad song. I don't know which song I would single out as their worst, but Foreigner should be on the list somewhere.

KD in CA Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Hard to aruge with much on that list. Most of the sappy soft-rock of that decade was just brutal. Edited October 22, 2011 by KD in CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Pretty good list. I would nominate Macca's "My Love" for dishonorable mention. ETA: "Silly Love Songs" too. Edited October 22, 2011 by Rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) The only bad song on there is Disco Duck...

KD in CA Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Best whistling songs is a good topic, but there are some notable omissions. Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Goodbye Stranger, Daydream and Games Without Frontiers would all be on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Love Is A Red Dress (Hang Me In Rags) by Maria McKee on the Pulp Fiction OST would be my #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Blizzard Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The only bad song on there is Disco Duck... What about: Little Willy by Sweet You Make Me Feel Like Dancing by Leo Sayer Brand New Key by Melanie Having My Baby - could qualify for one of the worst pop songs of the century, and Little Willy would be right there with it!

bbb Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Love Little Willy. Especially played at full blast at Cassidy's after about our 8th Freddy's Special. Having My Baby is my least favorite song of all time, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which song I would single out as their worst, but Foreigner should be on the list somewhere. anything by Foreigner. anything by Paul McCartney after 1973. And 'The Night Chicago Died'.

bbb Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Foreigner's first album was pretty good. They gradually got worse and worse and saved their worst stuff for the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
