1. "We Built This City"
Hideous beyond words.

A close runner up: Stevie Wonder doing "I Just Called to Say I Love You".

2. Anything from Metallica or Motley Crue or any of those
glam-rock hair bands. Poison is another one of those.

22. Aww...Motley Crue was the best concert ever
I was 17 and my girlfriends and I had floor tickets. I loved headbanger music in high school, but I was never into Metallica. Poison was also good.

5. I don't remember the title but the lyrics
included, "Cause your friend don't dance and if he don't dance, well he's no friend of mine." Horrible.

Also "Papa Don't Preach." A low point of Madonna's early career.

17. Groundbreaking, he was. RIP
Sang AND rapped in three languages in a single song.

I think he was underrated.

Hello, Vienna calling!

18. U2 called them A Flock of Stealers.
I like 'em despite the fashions, but if you listen to U2's A Day Without Me, you'll hear why Bono and the boys weren't fond of AFOS.

Of course, the Edge has been beating that guitar trick into the ground for more than two decades, now.

15. Anything with the squeaky synthesizers.
Like "Jump for My Love" by the Pointer Sisters. That's all I can think of right now, but there were a LOT of such songs.

I loooooove synthesizers, but in the wrong hands they're tools for evil.

19. Sinatra
When he hit 80 it got really bad. His voice quivered and he shook like a fish out of water.

not sure how to spell it - so much of Phil Collins stuff really sucked. Also anything by Lionel Richie.
