I have no idea how old this is, but stumbled upon it and figured I'd post it for perusal.

I dont know how I feel about "BOB" being number 2. I personally love that song and think it is genius but I've never seen it get recognised like this.

It's one of those songs I wish wasnt in lists.

Surely this was made earlier than 2009 as no songs from the last 3 or 4 years made it.


Interesting list putting Brittney Spears Toxic only one spot behind Creep by Radiohead... hardly respectable. Still some interesting choices in the line up shouting out some ignored songs (like BOB as mentioned above) along with the championing of some absolute trash (50 cent in the top 500 is a travesty let alone the top 10!).

I noticed the timestamp after I posted as I read through the list.

There's a serious list of omissions, and I frankly found most of the top 100 to be abysmal.

I Don't Want to Miss a Thing?


What the hell? this site has no credibility. They put songs like Achey Breaky Heart on worst song lists and dont realise that both these songs are considered just as bad.

Naples obcervation should probably be taken into account - It was April Fools Day.

The only problem is there were enough good songs on it to give it credibility...then again, Billie Jean at #1 does seem to be a joke. But it was popular, so I guess someone could think that way...

I've had issues with this site for a while. I never liked their worst artists list. I'll admit im not a very big Doors fan at all but they managed to sneak them in and leave out - Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Black Eyed Peas etc. I just get the feeling they do whatever they can to scream for attention.
