Frey Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Rolling Stone Magazine did a readers poll of the top ten worst songs of the 80'sI couldn't get the link to work, so here's the list:1"We Built This City" -Starship2 "The Final Countdown" -Europe3 "The Lady in Red" -Chris de Burgh4 "Wake Me up Before you Go-Go" -Wham!5" The Safety Dance" -Men Without Hats6 " Rock Me Amadeus" -Falco7 "Don't Worry, Be Happy" -Bobby Mc'Ferrin8 "Mickey" -Toni Basil9 "Putin' on the Ritz" -Taco10 "Never Gonna Give You Up" -Rick AstleyI like a few of these songs and don't think they belong on this list. "We Are The World" should be #1 with Rick Astley coming in a close second and "What I Am" by Edie Brickell and the Bohemians #3.What songs from the 80's do you hate?

arsanat Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Wow. I'm surprised to see Mickey on the list.The only selection I FIRMLY agree with is Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham. I couldn't stand it then, really can't stand it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codemaster94 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 To me, the absolute worst song had to be "Hit That Perfect Beat" by Bronski Beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceman Cometh Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I saw this list and figured it was more of their 80s bashing. The only song on here I never really liked was Don't Worry, Be Happy. Mickey just got played too much and got put on every 80s complation CD ever released. I think that's why people got sick of it. And We Built This City ALWAYS gets bashed simply because the band used to be Jefferson Airplane in a past life and hippies hate how they evolved into Starship and started doing yuppie rock. But it's not a terrible song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiefan Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Guilty as chargedOk, I'll be the first to admit I have been guilty of singing along to all of these songs at least once. And still do to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
