JimCo06 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 It's a trick question...There are actually 2 worst songs of all time... "American Pie" by Don McLean, and "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris (which probably explains this one) Honorable mention to "Cat's in the Cradle"...If that doesn't make you depressed what will...

I have about 40 albums in my SansaClip with all playing track shuffle. That song came on about 2 hours ago while I was in the pool and it almost made me get out to change it, almost.

omahapianist Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I find that even the worst songs have a strange appeal to me simply because they are so bad. For me, I can say most anything by Katy Perry and Taylor Swift is bad but that may be more of a bias against their music than who they are as individuals. But then I find songs like Sugar Sugar (The Archies) and the Brady Bunch theme utterly irresistible in a kitschy way. But check in again in about the week and I'm sure that'll change.

burnspbesq Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 How this thread got almost to the end of page four with no mention of "Alone Again (Naturally)" is quite beyond my powers of comprehension.

Bryan Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Depressing on several levels when songs like 'Black Dog' and 'Purple Haze' are playing at supermarket as senior's (that's many of us folks) look through produce for bad spots. Procol Harem's 'Whiter Shade of Pale' is on my list of yucks. With no malice toward the late Karin Carpenter, 'Kind of Hush' is another. “Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too.

TubeLover Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 The entirety of the Rolling Stones discography Unless this comment was tongue in cheek, you sir, should be ashamed! I've loved the Beatles since I was a small boy in 1964, but to besmirch anyone as talented as the Stones is unforgivable if you truly value music and are capable of appreciating it.

JC While I admit my comment was over-the-top, I'm not the tiniest bit ashamed. The Beatles >>>> Rolling Stones. Hell, Wings >> Rolling Stones.

Toolio Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I dislike this song so much that it's even painful to post about it. Feelings by Morris Albert. Joel Lol. Until I moved to Brasil from Canada 16 years ago I didn't realize Albert was Brasilian. This country is full of great music and it managed to inflict this on the rest of the world? Go figure!
