I love 6 out of those 10!

 

[Mermaid02]

Heard this on Siriusxm the other day and it was absolutely horrific.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

80s. Probably the best music of all came out of this decade. So did the worst.
We built this city. Starship.

Rock me amadeos. Falco.

Chris De Burgh Lady in Red.

Wimpiest song of all time.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

70s. Angie already took two of first that came to mind as she usually does, But the extra thought trying to find one not posted yet made me think of some that are arguably even worse.
The Captain and Tennille Muskrat love.

Paul Anka. You're having my baby.

C.W. McCall Convoy

You're making me question my choice in music with these. I like almost all of them.

 

[WorldWacky]

Heard this on Siriusxm the other day and it was absolutely horrific.

Yuck! You’re absolutely right. Couldn’t get through that.

 

[low-key]

Blind man in the Bleacher
Lady in Red
A Horse with no name
Watching Scottie Grow

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

80s. Probably the best music of all came out of this decade. So did the worst.
We built this city. Starship.

Rock me amadeos. Falco.

Chris De Burgh Lady in Red.

Wimpiest song of all time.

I actually love the song "Rock Me Amadeus"

 

[RedAngie]

Heard this on Siriusxm the other day and it was absolutely horrific.

Many other actors who have released songs really suck too, like Eddie Murphy "Party All The Time," Don Johnson "Heartbeat," and Bruce Willis "Respect Yourself."

And John Travola was absolutely wretched in that version of Hairspray.

You're making me question my choice in music with these. I like almost all of them.

I'm not surprised. After all, you're a "Florida Man."

[L&Lfan]

When I’ve had a few, Watching Scotty Grow can make me blubber like a baby!

 

[DeniseJH]

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" - I hated that song!

 

[Jennasis]

Aw man, I love everything the 80's gave us musically.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Yuck! You’re absolutely right. Couldn’t get through that.

Full disclosure, my teenage self owned the 45 of that John Travolta song. Hadn’t heard it in years. Totally schmaltzy but I think he has a decent voice. He was pretty good in Grease.

I actually love the song "Rock Me Amadeus"

Me too. LOL, have you seen the Simpsons version of Dr. Zaius (Planet of the Apes spoof)? That’s all I can think of now.

 

[GoingSince1990]

What does it say about me that I scrolled through this thread saying “Great song!” repeatedly?

That you have excellent taste in music and there's going whippersnappers don't recognize good songs?

 

[DaisyDuck001]

I don't like the 80s song "Lady of my Heart".

...Come On Eileen-Dexy's Midnight Runners...

OMG, I thought that I was the only person in the world that absolutely HATES this song!

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" - I hated that song!

I'm guessing it didn't make YOU happy.
