The problem I have with Matt’s assignment is that I’ve become so nostalgic that I now love all the songs I quite rightly hated in my youth when they first appeared.
For you Matt, a clip of Jack Black as Barry the sales clerk in High Fidelity refusing to sell "I Just Called to Say I Love You" to a customer for his 17 year-old daughter: "There's no WAY she likes that song—ooo, ooo, wait, is she in a coma?" (p.s. you -and Barry- are right, it sucks)
Hahaha. We had "Say, Say, Say" on at the Yankee Twin this morning, and I got to tell the kids all about the video that featured Macca and Jacko as old west hustlers whose romantic interests were played, respectively, by Paul's wife and Michael's sister.
I once called into my local radio station to demand that they quit being cockblocks and play the full 12-minute version of “I Would Do Anything For Love.” Play the entire Steinman banger or GTFO.
Sheryl Crow - Soak up the sun - The forced-in line “maybe I am crazy too” kills the transition to the chorus. And the song just sucks anyway.
John Mellencamp - Small Town - just hate it and always have. He’s really trying way too hard, and somehow not hard enough.
Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra - kind of a cheap shot as it falls in the classic-rock-band-who-ran-out-of-ideas-in-the-80s genre. Still it is ab-solute shit.
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA - The song never appealed to me. Overrated, boring.
Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl - I could come up with 30 songs in this vein which have no pulse and sound shitted out. I’ll just let this be a stand-in.
I have a story about "Cinnamon Girl," a song which until one moment in January 1994 I had the exact same feeling as you.
That moment? I was going into a recording studio. The producer happened to have just landed an absolutely dinosaurnormous Marshall Stack, taller than me. I was like, "What do I *do* with this monstrosity?" He smiled, and said, "Plug in!"
So I plugged in my 1963 Fender Jazzmaster (RIP), hit one chord to feel the absolute rib-breaking power of the thing, and then proceeded to play ... "Cinnamon Girl." From that moment on, I suddenly & finally *understood* the thing. It's just an absolute meat-rocker excuse to play these thicc chords on the loudest fucking amp in human history, and as such it's appropriate for what it is.
("Small Town" has always bugged, but I'm fine with "Soak Up the Sun" as a back-to-the-beach sentiment with reasonably pretty chorus/harmonies. "Born in the U.S.A." is fine stripped out of its mid-'80s ubiquity [and if you ignore the horrid snare sound].)
Had never seen the Ace of Base video before, and wow, terrible. https://youtu.be/iqu132vTl5Y Good chorus, tho! Genuinely like "She Drives Me Crazy" (his voice has weird emotional resonance); enjoy "We Are the World" for the over-the-topness. I don't *get* "To Sir With Love," but I don't dislike it. The Billy Ocean song is a hate crime.
That song from RENT about hours and minutes that every gay struggling actor in NYC insists on singing whenever they're within arms reach of a karaoke mic
Hotel California? How DARE you sir! First heard the whole album riding in the backseat of a ‘67 Mustang, alongside another high school sophomore, driven by two seniors. Four of about 10 males on a 30 person speech team headed East over the Laguna mountains toward the Bulldog Mess speech tourney in Holtville, the ride originating in Chula Vista. Our team crushed that year (not because of any contribution I made; that would come the next year).
It’s Hotel California all the way down, baby. (But… not nearly the best song on the album.)
Just not Gypsy Kings’ version. That Jesus intro in The Big Lebowski is one of the most sensual intros of a character in cinematic history, and the music ties it all together.
Tells you exactly how good they were that they were actually able to take that song and make something wnjoyable out of it. Also a genius move by the Coens introducing The Dude's hated rival without shortly after we hear him express his disdain for Don Henly & co
I’ve seen that movie 100 times and never put that together. Good observation those guys are geniuses. Blank Check podcast is actually doing their filmography right now, worth a listen if you’re a Coen fan
Only five? A lot has already been said here, but I'll take 70s, 80s, a little into the 90s. In order:
1. Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? by Rod Stewart (no, Rod, we don't. You scare us more than Maggie May scared you.)
2. Cherry Pie by Warrant (I actually purchased this for my brother that Christmas)
3. Kokomo by The Beach Boys (we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow, pretty mama)
4. Feelings by whatshisname Morty or Morris something (nothing more than...hang yourself now)
5. Hangin' Tough by BKOTB (I also owned this album. I was in middle school, where all evil is forgiven)
***My brother just texted me and said Achey Breaky Heart MUST make the list.**** It can replace Feelings because then pretty much everything is in the 80s or very early 90s.
I’ll see your Cherry Pie and raise you with Uncle Tom’s Cabin off the same album. The subtle, almost imperceptible analogy that is Cherry Pie and its accompanying video saves it.
2. Take you the Movies by Bangs (this was released in Australia around 2010 and remains an unspeakably bad song sung by a ‘rapper who seemed not to realise we were laughing at, not with him)
3. Heal the World by Michael Jackson (if anyone’s gonna moralise about equality, can it not be an uber wealthy alleged paedophile responsible for things like the Neverland Ranch)
4. Pretty Fly for a White Guy by Offspring (the pivot point at which a good band decided to become a bad one)
5. Fix You by Coldplay (“When you try your best but you don’t succeed…” 🤮)
I nominate the Offspring as one of the worst bands of all time. Ignition, their first album, is actually pretty good, but then they turned into a novelty band that ripped off other shitty songs for their own singles.
#4 is one of those songs that should have stopped being played within its time. But for some reason it has gotten an irrational amount of airplay ever since. What makes it so unique to warrant that (compared to other songs of that time) is beyond me.
Heart of Gold (Neil Young) - I first heard it on a classic rock station 20-ish years ago and felt such a visceral loathing and revulsion that I couldn’t understand why anyone would ever want to listen to it on purpose. I don’t think I’ve heard it since, but somehow I can still remember how it goes. Every now and then I’ll consider giving it another chance, but I never do. Who knows, maybe I’d actually like it now.
Inside Out (Eve 6) - One of those songs that was on the radio every five minutes for a while in the 90s. One hit wonder, and their one hit is garbage. Nails on a chalkboard. (I have a specific lyrical nit to pick if anyone wants to hear me rant about this more.) I’m glad the lead singer came out as a virulent Israel-basher after 10/7 so I could hate him even more.
I’m sure I’ve got more, I’ll edit this as I think of them.
As a general rule, dudes who want to whip out their hog in public are above average. If you have a micropenis, you're (presumably) keeping that on the DL (no kink shaming).
Absolutely love "More Than Words" (in part because it's really about *fucking* more than sentimentality). Would totally stan "That's What Friends Are For" if not for that confounded harmonica sound, which I cannot tolerate.
Perhaps I've been unfair to More Than Words. I will give it another chance and pay more attention to the message. I will also reflect upon the wisdom of my choices on this matter and in general.
I cannot stand We Didn't start the fire. It seemed like every year in History class we had to waste 30mins on that damn song. Can we go back to talking about the Russian Revolution?
I really appreciate Matt re-running Dave Barry’s Bad Song Survey for those of us who were too young to participate the first time. I’m cutting myself off in 1999 on the grounds that I hate 99% of popular music released in the 2000s and it would be too hard to distinguish degrees of badness, and making my start point 1975 because that’s the first year I looked at in which I knew most of the songs AND a song I really hate showed up (see below).
Honorable mention: “We Are The World” (USA for Africa, 1985) - disqualifying because it’s kind of a novelty, but damn is it execrable.
5) “Dancing Queen” (ABBA, 1977) - I will always remember this as the song playing on the surgeon’s radio as I went under for my wisdom teeth removal, but I also hate it without those associations. A song called “Dancing Queen” should be a song you can actually dance to.
4) “Ice Ice Baby” (Vanilla Ice, 1990) - almost too stupid for me to hate, but gets demerits because it makes me think I’m about to hear “Under Pressure.”
3) “Sussudio” (Phil Collins, 1985) - I’m not convinced anyone actually likes this song. It also has to absorb my violent hatred for “In the Air Tonight,” which did not hit #1.
2) “Abracadabra” (Steve Miller Band, 1982) - I can forgive a lot of terrible lyrics, but Steve Miller routinely tests my patience, and the chorus of this song is unforgivable.
1) “Mandy” (Barry Manilow, 1975) - GEE LET’S SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS WHY I HATE THIS ONE ESPECIALLY. You would hate it too if every man born before 1970 that you ever met sang it at you unprompted upon learning your name. But also Barry Manilow sucks generally.
OK, I'll put this small piece of embarrassing yet sort of funny personal: I can't sing Mandy without at least once doing the chorus: Oh Man-day, well you came and shamanga'd my booty, I remember the day....
It's stupid, but it makes me laugh to do it. And proves what a dumb song it is.
The problem I have with Matt’s assignment is that I’ve become so nostalgic that I now love all the songs I quite rightly hated in my youth when they first appeared.
The struggle is real.
On the other hand, I’ve never learned not to hate Rod Stewart’s “Do You Think I’m Sexy,” so there’s that.
As a 10-year-old I had a very confused notion of young-adult dating rituals.
(I like the song, obviously.)
The cover by Revolting Cocks is so much better.
With a name like Revolting Cocks, it has to be good.
He is not sexy. The cognitive dissonance is too great.
100%
That and the beauty of Hot Legs cancel each other out, don’t they?
For you Matt, a clip of Jack Black as Barry the sales clerk in High Fidelity refusing to sell "I Just Called to Say I Love You" to a customer for his 17 year-old daughter: "There's no WAY she likes that song—ooo, ooo, wait, is she in a coma?" (p.s. you -and Barry- are right, it sucks)
https://youtu.be/-ECyX8A3iP0?feature=shared
First, this is harder than it sounds. Second, 1989 had some shitty #1 songs. Here are my five worst songs 1983-1997.
1) We didn’t Start the Fire - Billy Joel 1989
2) Baby, Baby - Amy Grant 1991
3) That’s What Friends are For - Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder 1986
4) Girl, I’m Gonna Miss You - Milli Vanilli - 1989
5) I’d Anything for Love (but I won’t do that) - Meatloaf 1993
Honorable Mentions:
Say, Say, Say - Paul McCartney & MJ
Rock On - Michael Demian
Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship
Solid list, ngl. But I'll defend Meatloaf until the (heart attack) death! And "Say, Say, Say" is pretty damn catchy.
I’ll defend every song on Bat Out of Hell but Bat Out of Hell 2 can suck a bag of…
Hahaha. We had "Say, Say, Say" on at the Yankee Twin this morning, and I got to tell the kids all about the video that featured Macca and Jacko as old west hustlers whose romantic interests were played, respectively, by Paul's wife and Michael's sister.
I once called into my local radio station to demand that they quit being cockblocks and play the full 12-minute version of “I Would Do Anything For Love.” Play the entire Steinman banger or GTFO.
With you on I'd do anything for love. I like Say Say Say!
Agree. Horriblest Meat Loaf but I blame whatshisname. Steinman!
No love for Amy Grant? That’s a puzzler for me. Made me stop for a minute.
Sheryl Crow - Soak up the sun - The forced-in line “maybe I am crazy too” kills the transition to the chorus. And the song just sucks anyway.
John Mellencamp - Small Town - just hate it and always have. He’s really trying way too hard, and somehow not hard enough.
Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra - kind of a cheap shot as it falls in the classic-rock-band-who-ran-out-of-ideas-in-the-80s genre. Still it is ab-solute shit.
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA - The song never appealed to me. Overrated, boring.
Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl - I could come up with 30 songs in this vein which have no pulse and sound shitted out. I’ll just let this be a stand-in.
I have a story about "Cinnamon Girl," a song which until one moment in January 1994 I had the exact same feeling as you.
That moment? I was going into a recording studio. The producer happened to have just landed an absolutely dinosaurnormous Marshall Stack, taller than me. I was like, "What do I *do* with this monstrosity?" He smiled, and said, "Plug in!"
So I plugged in my 1963 Fender Jazzmaster (RIP), hit one chord to feel the absolute rib-breaking power of the thing, and then proceeded to play ... "Cinnamon Girl." From that moment on, I suddenly & finally *understood* the thing. It's just an absolute meat-rocker excuse to play these thicc chords on the loudest fucking amp in human history, and as such it's appropriate for what it is.
("Small Town" has always bugged, but I'm fine with "Soak Up the Sun" as a back-to-the-beach sentiment with reasonably pretty chorus/harmonies. "Born in the U.S.A." is fine stripped out of its mid-'80s ubiquity [and if you ignore the horrid snare sound].)
I fell in love with that album (Everybody Knows This is Nowhere) in 1969 when I hear Cowgirl in the Sand for the first time.
The song I hate the most is The Joker by Steve Miller Band. I can't explain my loathing, but it just awful to my ears.
I like this version (and this whole album, really).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18NVj_38Sz4
It's a shame that "Born in the USA" was not included on Nebraska. It would be great if this demo version makes it into the upcoming biopic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Gh1wQEe1I
I didn't have room for Neil Young on my list, but I'm glad someone did.
Honorable mentions: anything Jack White has ever made. 98% of Foo Fighters catalog.
I don't know, "Another Day in Paradise" is so much worse than "Sussudio" for me. It's so bad, lol.
5. "Get Out of My Dreams, Get into My Car", Billy Ocean
4. "We Are the World"
3. "The Sign", Ace of Base
2. "She Drives Me Crazy", Fine Young Cannibals
1. "To Sir With Love", Lulu
Had never seen the Ace of Base video before, and wow, terrible. https://youtu.be/iqu132vTl5Y Good chorus, tho! Genuinely like "She Drives Me Crazy" (his voice has weird emotional resonance); enjoy "We Are the World" for the over-the-topness. I don't *get* "To Sir With Love," but I don't dislike it. The Billy Ocean song is a hate crime.
Man I actually like "She Drives me Crazy". Roland Gift has such a unique voice.
Me too. It was definitely overplayed at the time.
"One More Night" is right there w/ "Sussudio" for me; figured I had to pick one.
True, there are so many to choose from, lol.
Lulu? Lulu is a gift from God! LEAVE LULU ALONE!!!
Lulu's fine, the lyrics to that song totally squick me out though.
It does go with the movie. Does it hold up as well as something as great and Bobby Gentrys "Ode To Billy Joe" on its own? No.
The Sign was played every third song everywhere overseas for that entire year. It is awful.
I think Matt’s next assignment should be worst artists of the 1980’s generally. Phil Collins would definitely make mine!
5 Worst Songs Ever:
Hotel California
My Humps
Butterfly by Crazytown
Bad Bunny's entire oeuvre
That song from RENT about hours and minutes that every gay struggling actor in NYC insists on singing whenever they're within arms reach of a karaoke mic
Hotel California? How DARE you sir! First heard the whole album riding in the backseat of a ‘67 Mustang, alongside another high school sophomore, driven by two seniors.

I have to confess I only know #1 in this list and I can agree.
Butterfly kind of works for me just because it's off the back of a Red Hot Chili Peppers riff.
"..every gay struggling actor in NYC..."
You can just say "actor"
But then it wouldn't be accurate.
It's implicit ;-)
Haha Bad Bunny! You are spitting facts Craig except Hotel California and My Humps is my youth do I can't deny it.
Only five? A lot has already been said here, but I'll take 70s, 80s, a little into the 90s. In order:
1. Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? by Rod Stewart (no, Rod, we don't. You scare us more than Maggie May scared you.)

***My brother just texted me and said Achey Breaky Heart MUST make the list.**** It can replace Feelings because then pretty much everything is in the 80s or very early 90s.
I’ll see your Cherry Pie and raise you with Uncle Tom’s Cabin off the same album. The subtle, almost imperceptible analogy that is Cherry Pie and its accompanying video saves it.
"Cherry Pie by Warrant"
Strippers gotta make a living, too.
She is a cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise. Taste so good make a grown man cry....
Warrant and Buck Cherry must appreciate the steady stream of ASCAP royalties due to those ambitious ladies working their way through nursing school.
The fact that it's a great stripper song further confirms its horridness.
(Leggy Italian meteorologist voice) Why-ah you wanna argue about-ah de music-ah? Iss for dancing! We dance-ah, yes?
I tell ya, that lady's gams start in Switzerland and don't stop till her tootsies touch the Ionian Sea.
Good luck with this hellhole of 90s pop music Matt.
You're in Love- Wilson Phillips
I Adore Mi Amore- Color Me Badd (take note of the two “d”’s)
Informer - Snow
Here Comes the Hotstepper- Ini Kamoze
Opposites attract- Paula Abdul
Holy hell just listened to "You're in Love" for the first time, thinking it might be the most promising of the bunch ... holy hell!
@JC I just listened to "You're in love." And I was transported to 1992, stuck with my parents walking around a Pier One Imports. It was horrible.
The real question is if Brian Wilson has anything to do with that musical murder scene.
I refuse to ever find out.
It is not a good song, but anytime I hear "Here Comes The Hotstepper" I sing "I'm the lyrical hamster" instead of "gangster" and it tickles me.
wtf Here Comes the Hotstepper is a banger!
Oh God that Wilson Phillips song is so so bad!! I think I mentally blocked it
Is Opposites attract that stupid music video with the cartoon cat? Even 8 year old me knew that was cringe.
Yep. The video was what put it over the edge for me
Opposites attract is great song.
It ain't fiction, just a natural fact!
Got a lot of fond memories of that song from the roller rink as a teenager.
In no particular order:
1. Tubthumping by Chumbawamba (so dumb)
2. Take you the Movies by Bangs (this was released in Australia around 2010 and remains an unspeakably bad song sung by a ‘rapper who seemed not to realise we were laughing at, not with him)
3. Heal the World by Michael Jackson (if anyone’s gonna moralise about equality, can it not be an uber wealthy alleged paedophile responsible for things like the Neverland Ranch)
4. Pretty Fly for a White Guy by Offspring (the pivot point at which a good band decided to become a bad one)
5. Fix You by Coldplay (“When you try your best but you don’t succeed…” 🤮)
I nominate the Offspring as one of the worst bands of all time. Ignition, their first album, is actually pretty good, but then they turned into a novelty band that ripped off other shitty songs for their own singles.
Not a fan of Smash? One of the first albums i owned and has a special place in my heart.
Offspring not unlike Coldplay in that they had promising starts before completely nosediving.
No, but I understand the feeling. I still have my AIC and Ministry CDs.
#4 is one of those songs that should have stopped being played within its time. But for some reason it has gotten an irrational amount of airplay ever since. What makes it so unique to warrant that (compared to other songs of that time) is beyond me.
There are too many to list. But 1992’s “How Do You Talk to an Angel?” fills me with rage.
5) Tubthumping - Chumbawba
4) Living La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin
3) Believe - Cher
2) MMMBOP - Hanson
1) Wild, Wild West - Will Smith
4 of the 5 were #1s for at least a week which is disgusting
I GET KNOCKED DOWN, I GET UP AGAIN NEVER EVER GOING TO KEEP ME DOWN (OVER AND OVER AND OVER)
No particular order:
Heart of Gold (Neil Young) - I first heard it on a classic rock station 20-ish years ago and felt such a visceral loathing and revulsion that I couldn’t understand why anyone would ever want to listen to it on purpose. I don’t think I’ve heard it since, but somehow I can still remember how it goes. Every now and then I’ll consider giving it another chance, but I never do. Who knows, maybe I’d actually like it now.
Inside Out (Eve 6) - One of those songs that was on the radio every five minutes for a while in the 90s. One hit wonder, and their one hit is garbage. Nails on a chalkboard. (I have a specific lyrical nit to pick if anyone wants to hear me rant about this more.) I’m glad the lead singer came out as a virulent Israel-basher after 10/7 so I could hate him even more.
I’m sure I’ve got more, I’ll edit this as I think of them.
I saw the Eve 6 dude take his cock out on stage at least once, probably twice.
Please tell me it was as underwhelming as his songwriting.
I don't have strong aesthetic feelings about the male genitalia.
I get it, you don’t see dick size. Very egalitarian.
I’ll just assume it was tiny.
As a general rule, dudes who want to whip out their hog in public are above average. If you have a micropenis, you're (presumably) keeping that on the DL (no kink shaming).
Agree. I loathe Heart of Gold.
For me, it's anything overly sappy and sentimental. These are the first five that came to mind:
Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx
That’s What Friends Are For - Dionne Warwick and Friends
More Than Words - Extreme
To Be with You - Mr. Big
Don't Wanna Miss a Thing - Aerosmith
Absolutely love "More Than Words" (in part because it's really about *fucking* more than sentimentality). Would totally stan "That's What Friends Are For" if not for that confounded harmonica sound, which I cannot tolerate.
I think that because it’s also about sex actually makes it worse. But I’m sure at the time I nodded to myself knowingly, thinking, “well done boys.”
Perhaps I've been unfair to More Than Words. I will give it another chance and pay more attention to the message. I will also reflect upon the wisdom of my choices on this matter and in general.
Two-part harmonies are legit unusual/interesting/good, imo.
Goddammit, the two part harmonies in that song are good, you got me. I strike that from my list and replace it with How to Save a Life by The Fray.
Richard Marx! Caused nearly as much suffering as his great-uncle Karl.
I think that Aerosmith might fall after the cut off.
“The Reason” by Hoobastank makes me irrationally angry. But, again, past the cutoff.
Liked just because it’s so NOT what I think. How much of whatever shit one is going through at the time one first hears a song indelibly imprints?
I hate "The Reason" as well. Going to steal that one.
I cannot stand We Didn't start the fire. It seemed like every year in History class we had to waste 30mins on that damn song. Can we go back to talking about the Russian Revolution?
I really appreciate Matt re-running Dave Barry’s Bad Song Survey for those of us who were too young to participate the first time.

2) “Abracadabra” (Steve Miller Band, 1982) - I can forgive a lot of terrible lyrics, but Steve Miller routinely tests my patience, and the chorus of this song is unforgivable.

Belted out “Mandy” as recently as yesterday! Unironically!
OK, I'll put this small piece of embarrassing yet sort of funny personal: I can't sing Mandy without at least once doing the chorus: Oh Man-day, well you came and shamanga'd my booty, I remember the day....
It's stupid, but it makes me laugh to do it. And proves what a dumb song it is.
