Worst Popular Rock & Roll Song Ever... Your Candidates Please

[Jack Flash]

The other day I was in the cafeteria at work. They have a radio playing oldies. Normally, I like that...

However, the station seems to be in love with "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart. I remember when that was a huge hit, and I couldn't stand it then. Now ---

And no, I will not post a link to it!

Some folks have a great voice. For me, Rod Stewart has a grating voice.
I wanted to plug my ears with paper napkins.

So what's your candidate for the worst ever?

 

[ACP230]

Anything by The Turtles.

 

[OFT II]

"Surfin' Bird" by properly named The Trashmen.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I deplore 'you light up my life' Debby Boone
And ' Achy Breaky Heart'
I heard a sage say 'Billy Ray is a terrible actor.'
I say 'another thing to keep him from singing!'

 

[gregintenn]

Tiptoe Through the Tulips by Tiny Tim?

 

[Wyatt Burp]

Anything by Boston.

 

[kozmic]

Any Doobie Brother's tune ruined by Michael McDonald's "stick a sharp pencil in my ears" voice.

 

[Fishinfool]

I usually like John Lennon's work, but there was one album he did (Plastic Ono Band?) where his wife, Yoko, just screams for like four minutes - no words I can make out. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up...

Lets see,
"One eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater"

Any "Rock and Roll" Christmas song. I couldn't stand them when they first came out, age hasn't improved them.

 

[Jimmyjones]

How many times in the last 40 years have you heard "Witchy Women" ?

Too many ?

Remember hearing it 5 times a day at the PX in Basic

Lets see,
"One eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater"

Any "Rock and Roll" Christmas song. I couldn't stand them when they first came out, age hasn't improved them.

I tell you, the "Classic Rock" station has ruined many songs for me. That is what is on all day at work, because it causes the least debate. They never play any songs from any album that were not "Top 40" in their time. I can almost set my watch by what song is coming out of the radio. It seems like they play the same list over and over. Same songs in the same order.

 

[Hack]

Motoring by Night Ranger. I can't get to the radio fast enough...

 

[Hack]

It seems like they play the same list over and over. Same songs in the same order.

They do. It's all on a specified playlist.

 

[kozmic]

"The Night Chicago Died" and "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" make me wish I had telepathic powers to change the station from across the room.

 

[Hack]

Emotional Rescue by The Rolling Stones.

Come on Mick... 'I want to be you knight in shining arrrrmmmor'.

Seriously?
