Tux of Borg Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 My Webpage 50 Worst Songs Ever: The Bocephus Edition The series on VH1 premiers this Wednesday, so I figured it's high time we here at the BC dot C took a look at this list, compiled by the tools over at Blender magazine of the 50 worst songs ever. My opinion: It's a buncha bull sh--. Not even in the way that most of these VH1 lists are bull sh--. At least with, say the Rolling Stone 50 (or was it 100?) Greatest Pop Songs, they were kinda on to something and gave you something you could sit around with friends and B word about (or sit alone in the dark and B word at the TV). Who really gave a !@#$ about any of these songs in the first place? 50 CÉLINE DION “My Heart Will Go On” 1998 49 RIGHT SAID FRED “I’m Too Sexy” 1992 48 THE BEATLES “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” 1968 47 BRYAN ADAMS “The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You” 1996 46 NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK “Hangin’ Tough” 1989 45 JA RULE FEAT.

Buftex Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I think at least one of these songs is vying for a spot on TSW all-time greatest songs... Anyways, hard to argue with most of these choices (except maybe "Ob-la-di-la-da"), but who really cares. Trying to come up a list of the 50 worst songs of all time, is even more difficult than coming up with a list of the 50 worst.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 The S&G and Doors inclusions are bizarre to say the least. Those are both classic songs that are light years from this list. You can put 99.9% of everything written this decade behind those two songs. But overall there are some serious duds there. Except for 'Illegal Alien' I liked that one!
