"We Built This City" named worst...song...ever... (1 Viewer)

[Jay_B!]

no way does I Will Survive belong on a Worst Songs list, that song is a total classic

 

[MatthewA]

That was originally an Irving Berlin standard, sung by numerous other, better singers (Ella Fitzgerald, et al), and used in "Young Frankenstein" before Mr. Mexican Delicacy got to it. For that alone it does not belong on the list.

I nominate this list.

It looks like one of the music channels used a similar list, because I see some of the same songs, including Starship being #1. Course, that immediatly eliminates some of the songs, since they never had videos.

I noticed the massive controversy amongst Doors fans over "The End" being listed. As someone who only likes a few of their songs, I have heard that song before and consider it downright unlistenable. I can see why a Doors fan might like it, but you also gotta take into consideration that for non-fans that the song may be perceived as excessive, overlong and boring
