20 WORST ROCK SONGS OF ALL TIME
- 1. "American Pie," the Madonna version: The original may be annoying and overplayed, but it is a critical historical document of the '50s to the '70s in rock that Madonna needs to stay well away from.
- 2. "Muskrat Love," America: America's first album was one of the best acoustic moments of the early '70s -- why this?
- 3. "Radio Ga Ga," Queen: Another example of a good band gone bad.
- 4. "Mr. Tambourine Man," the William Shatner version: Enough said!
- 5. "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy," Rod Stewart: This is the man who can create "Maggie May," who can make The Small Faces one of the best bands in the history of rock. The answer in NO!
- 6. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," the Britney Spears version: Words can't express.
- 7. "We Built This City," Starship: From Jefferson Airplane, one of the best of the Summer of Love, to this.
- 8. "Sledgehammer," Peter Gabriel: Genesis genius to this!
- 9. "Respect Yourself," Bruce Willis: Yeah right Bruce, you sound exactly like the Staple Sisters.
- 10. "Unskinny Bop," Poison: Or anything by Poison
- 11. "Have a Nice Day," Bon Jovi: Inspired by what?
- 12. "Behind Blue Eyes," Limp Bizkit: Get your hands off The Who, you filthy...
- 13. "Jump," Van Halen: Exactly
- 14. "Seventeen," Winger: Hmmm, it's sad when thirty-year old men do this. It's also illegal!
- 15. "Girls on Film," Duran Duran: Great video!
- 16. "You're the Inspiration," Chicago: Listen to their first album when they were called Chicago Transit Authority (incredible). They peaked with there first.
- 17. "Say Hello Wave Goodbye," Soft Cell: This is the original rubbish version of the cover by David Gray (brilliant version).
- 18. "Ob-la-di-ob-la-da," The Beatles: Ringo said he hated it, he isn't alone.
- 19. "I Will Do Anything for Love," Meat Loaf: This is the man who acted like he was playing Zeppelin but was singing Cher.
- 20. Anything by Creed: OK, I got lazy on the last one, but I'm still right.
