    Magic Man and Barracuda - Heart

    Respectfully disagree on these two, Heart has laid their share of eggs, but not these two... "What About Love" is a different story.

    Johnny B. Goode by Judas Priest.

    The first time I heard Priest's take on this song, I was about half-drunk and almost wet myself laughing. Really, what were they thinking?

    Not the worst ever though. I'd give that to the Nickleback (I think) song that starts 'I like your pants around your feet.' It's not that I find vulgar songs particularly offensive, it's just that this song really has nothing to recommend it. It's as repetitive as your average punk rock song, without any of the endearing energy and desperate edge of punk, and sleazier than your average **** rock, with none of the hair bands amusing costumes and snazzy guitar riffs. I could probably go on for a while, and write a lovely revue about how much this sucks, but I'll cut it there. :)

    Starship - We Built This City

    This version of the band was a total laughing stock of the original Jefferson Airplane. I really dislike this era of the band and this song in particular.

    Now I have been a Yes fan for quite some time but I have to say that their version of America (written by Paul Simon) is just - BAD!

    I've always been a huge Yes fan since I saw them open for ELP when I was 13. Most of their music is great but the ones that are bad really suck.

    Europe.... THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. If I hear that song being played, I personally head over and beat the living crap out who's playing it.

    haha, I actually LOVE this song now thanks to Arrested Development. Everytime I hear it, visions of failed magic tricks by Gob dance through my head.

    May your junk be gnawed upon for all eternity by a thousand and three ravenous jackals. I love that song.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    With apologies to Huck and zombie boy, I have to agree. A close 2nd place is "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves

    I once heard somewhere that the Who's "Who are you" was an answer to a statement made by one of the Sex Pistols. The alleged statement was that the Who's time had passed and the Sex Pistols were top dogs now. Thus..... Who the F are you ??? The passage of time has shown "who" is still around and somewhat relevant today. See the Superbowl Half ??:D

    I must have the worst taste in music. . . EVER!!!:confused::confused::confused: I also like "Walking on Sunshine." Sure, it's not one of the best songs of all time, but it makes me happy!

    That Michael Damion cover of Rock On.
    That "whoo whoo" song mentioned earlier was that Gwen Stefanny (sp?) song from about 2-3 years ago.
