You all have horrible taste in music.

Now you have to name some of yours so we can ridicule you.

Oh, we've just scratched the surface of my music taste, just my taste in classic rock. I'm primarily a power metal nerd, this is what's playing for me now:

You call this horrible!

Oh God...Len. Someone called that the "Song of the Summer" when it came out. Blech.

We had a "worst song ever" contest on another forum once. Someone came up with this one:

 

[henchman21]

We Built this City is easily the worst song of all time... It makes Achy Breaky Heart bearable by comparison.

 

[MonsterMack]

I just listen to Call Me Maybe on repeat

Except on Fridays, because "It's Friday, Friday!"

Forgot about this gem. The American video is the only one I remember. Why there are two versions I've no idea.



BTW this is not an entry for "Worst Song Ever."

We should start a thread for "guilty pleasures." See which music those of us acknowledge is "bad" but still enjoy nonetheless.

Nostalgia points refuse to let me put Starship in the dumpster, even though they themselves have done so.

I used to hate "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" but then I watched "The Skeleton Twins" in what may be my favorite movie scene of all time, which was set to that song, so now I love it.

This is my vote for worst song ever. I honestly went out of my way to turn off the radio or leave the room whenever it came on.

A good one hit wonder

And also one of the best covers ever imo.

 

[Pokecheque]

It's a really fun tongue-in-cheek cover...but the original is still better.

Two of my favorite covers: The Lemonheads doing "Mrs. Robinson" and The Ataris covering "Boys of Summer."

Oh yeah I don’t think it’s better than the original, but it’s a great remake of a classic.

My favorite cover is probably “Walk this Way” by Run DMC.

BTW don't know how y'all feel about ChemBro but this song is good, the music video (directed by Michel Gondry) is amazing.

Another terrible band is anything by Quiet Riot.

What's worse than being a one hit wonder, being a one hit wonder when your one hit was a cover.

You'll never catch me calling a band that once had Randy Rhodes as a guitarist terrible.

And now, perfect segway into...

what is the greatest cover of all times?

Cash's version of Hurt has to be the front runner.
