02.24.21 | some say "we built this city" is the worst song ever |
Koris
02.24.21 | We Built This City's not even that bad. Critics were exaggerating the fuck outta that |
parksungjoon
02.24.21 | i wasnt referring to critics necessarily |
JDubb
02.24.21 | I actually dig “We Built this City”. Got Starship in my blood from watching the movie Mannequin as a kid. |
JDubb
02.24.21 | But seriously, take a listen to 1. A new low. |

02.24.21 | I'm Christian and Jesus and Bocephus is a better argument against christianity than the complete works of Dawkins and Hitchens combined. |
rockarollacola
02.24.21 | "We Built This City" is a fuckin bop.
My choice for worst song would either be "Lips of and Angel" by Hinder or "Butthole Girl!!" by XXXTENTACION |
CaliggyJack
02.24.21 | I love "We Built This City" people got way too pompous over it. All because she accidentally said "Mamba" instead of "Mambo" |

02.24.21 | ĹISTEN TO THE RADIOOO
Yeah we built this city is a good song, dunno what those people are on about |
CaliggyJack
02.24.21 | Apparently it all started cause of some music blog site that took things way too far and the public sorta memed it |
ChoccyPhilly
02.24.21 | I mean it suffers from all the cheesy 80s tropes by it's hardly unique enough to differentiate between the other 80s cheese that is often praised.
Maybe that person just hates 80s pop |

02.24.21 | We Built This City is bland as Hell, nothing interesting sonically at all and i am NOT a fan of the historical revisionism happening itt |
CaliggyJack
02.24.21 | "historical revisionism"
Who tf cares about historical accuracy in an old 80's Pop Song lmao |
porcupinetheater
02.24.21 | Baby I'm talking about the historical revisionism right now where y'all acting like it's good, feel like I'm livin' in the twilight zone of endless even beat power chords |
CaliggyJack
02.24.21 | lmao I forgot what itt meant so I got confused and had to look it up |
porcupinetheater
02.24.21 | Lmao fair play acronyms that look like easy mistake typos are a slippery proposition |
DamnVanne
02.24.21 | For the longest time the worst song I had ever heard was ‘Lick my Wounds’ by the Do or the Mo or something, but then I heard Habanero Reel by Ian Anderson. That one still haunts me sometimes |
dbizzles
02.24.21 | Surely you've hear Old Town Road? |
TheTripP
02.24.21 | why did you make me listen to 1... oh boy the yt comments |
DamnVanne
02.24.21 | Old Town Road is unpleasant, but Achy Breaky Heart is so bad that it’s actually the first time I ever realized there was bad music. That’s how I know it came out right around ‘92. I was a little kindeegardener |
Divaman
02.24.21 | We Built This City rocks. Death to porc! |
Egarran
02.25.21 | I nurture a special hate to Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty |
Divaman
02.25.21 | Really? That's another one I actually kind of like.
Some of my candidates for worst song ever include "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro, "Copacabana" by Barry Manilow, "Coward of the County" by Kenny Rogers, and that godawful Christmas song about Mama's shoes. "Alone Again, Naturally" by Gilbert O'Sullivan is another one I've always found particularly puke worthy. Compared to these, "We Built This City" and "Baker Street" are out-and-out classics. |
Senetrix666
02.25.21 | worst song is the new offspring single. |
CaliggyJack
02.25.21 | I absolutely hate Glory by Bastille because I love the vocals but the generic electro-pop production of the song utterly kills it. Originally I thought the whole song was band, then I saw this beautiful mashup of We Found Love and Glory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXskp0-BtSM
And then I realized the problem was the production, not the vocals and it made me furious, because it was such a missed opportunity for a second Pompeii and OMFG BASTILLE WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!? |
porcupinetheater
02.25.21 | My worst song ever is your 5.0 classics, Ha! |
Divaman
02.25.21 | Didn't say it was a 5. But it is a 3, and not even close to being the worst song ever. |
porcupinetheater
02.25.21 | It's definitely not the worst song ever, agreed!
I still very much don't like it though, but fair play a lot of songs I can't stand are in the bombastic classic rock vein lmao, I ain't even close to a reliable source |

02.25.21 | Yeah, in an "Arghhh! Arghhh! My ears are bleeding" kind of way. |
ConcubinaryCode
02.25.21 | Yeah, my gf has a hobby of finding intentionally bad music and plays it to the point I hear it in my head. So suffer with me |
ArsMoriendi
02.25.21 | Does she know about outsider music? I think she'd like it |
ConcubinaryCode
02.25.21 | Not sure. |
Egarran
02.25.21 | Ohh Ars please link us to The Worst Song Ever
I wanna hear it again |

The fact that you can put a general date for the release of Achy Breaky Heart means it at least had a place in time. Old Town Road has no place here or anywhere. Absolutely insufferable. Like the Who Let the Dog's Out of the '10's but not even memeable. |
