100 Worst Pop Records

[method77]

Great list. Taken from Channel 4.

The criteria are simple: all of the records must have been released as a single in the UK, at one time or another, and have entered the official British chart at number 75 or above. Unbelievably, that means that all of these awful musical abominations will forever be recorded as having made it as 'hit' singles.

Does anybody know who Anita Dobson is?

[Shawn]

I don't think so.

I felt sad to see "Lady in Red" and "I'll do anything for love" there. Those are cutting edge thrashing music.

[rainbowdemon]

Anita is Mrs. Brian May.

[method77]

I don't think so.

I felt sad to see "Lady in Red" and "I'll do anything for love" there. Those are cutting edge thrashing music.

Meatloaf has the most annoying voice EVER. Good to see he made the list. I hate him.

Lady In Red is very annoying also

[rainbowdemon]

Meatloaf has the most annoying voice

For the most part. But I liked "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights".

[DudeAsInCool]

Meatloaf has the most annoying voice EVER.

I think this guy - Vanilla Ice 'Ice Ice Baby' - ranks right up there with Meat, Meat, Baby.

Not a fan of these either:

Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

American Pie - Madonna

We Built This City - Starship

[Shawn]

Doesn't it break the Jefforson Airplane fans' hearts to see what became of them.

'We built this city on rock and roll...'

[rainbowdemon]

American Pie - Madonna

Somebody should slap her for that!!

:sick:

[DudeAsInCool]

Somebody should slap her for that!!

[rainbowdemon]

Shame indeed!! "American Pie" was a great song. That is until Madonna fucked it up.

:reallymad:

[DudeAsInCool]

shame on you DAIC! :bigsmile:

Guilty as charged! I loathe that song

[Shawn]

You're un-American

[slum_goddess]

[KiwiCoromandel]

how about the "cutting crew"..." i just died in your arms tonight "..i wish that they had done just that........a god-awful song.... the vocals to this gem are one of the most depressing sounds that i have ever heard......pass the mandrax please....

I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight - Cutting Crew

I keep looking for something I can't get

Broken hearts lie all around me

And I don't see an easy way out of this

Her diary, it sits on the bedside table

The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle

Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

CHORUS:

Oh, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been something you said,

I just died in your arms tonight

Oh, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been some kind of kiss

I should've walked away, I should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this

On the surface I'm a name on a list

I try to be discreet, but then blow it again

I've lost and found, it's my final mistake

She's loving by proxy, no give and all take

'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

CHORUS

It was a long hot night

She made it easy, she made it feel right

But now it's over, the moment is gone

I followed my hands, not my head,

I know I was wrong

CHORUS

[KiwiCoromandel]

Vincent who?

starry, starry night.........

[slum_goddess]

Everybody loves it but me...  ;)

i hated it instantly.

[method77]

i hated it instantly.

*high fives

[method77]

btw

I will vote for that Meatloaf track as the worst ever. There is a difference between crap music like Vanilla Ice or Barbie Girl and music that makes you furious
