Best Worst Songs mixcd suggestions

**MadMan** · 11-22-2007, 05:27 AM

"I Ran" is the song that best represents the 80s. I fail to understand why people don't like it.

Journey sucks. Yeah you heard right :P

Some of the songs mentioned in this thread I actually like, but I'm too lazy to list them all. Others I agree are utterly terrible.

The GoGo's - "Vacation"
'Till Tuesday - "Voices Carry"

You guys are killing me. These are great songs.

The only song I have to add off the top of my head that hasn't been mentioned yet is "Lovefool" by The Cardigans.

This one too.

**Acapelli** · 11-22-2007, 06:33 AM

Temporary Secretary by Paul McCartney. Everyone needs to listen.

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting the thread. I basically just listed guilty pleasures, only a couple of which I would consider truly bad songs (ie, Starship).

No.

Okay, fine.

Liz Phair - "Hot White Cum"

This one is a great song, too? Or this one is a bad song?

"Lovefool" is a great song. The Cardigans are awesome.

Most of my good-bad music knowledge is from the 80s thanks to my two older sisters.

Crowded House - "Don't Dream It's Over"
A Flock of Seagulls - "I Ran"
Thomas Dolby - "She Blinded Me With Science"
Martika - "Toy Soldiers" (almost as good-bad as the Sean Astin/Will Wheaton vehicle of the same name)
The GoGo's - "Vacation"
Spandau Ballet - "True"
Naked Eyes - "Always Something There To Remind Me"
Thompson Twins - "Hold Me Now"
'Till Tuesday - "Voices Carry"
Starship - "We Built This City"
Modern English - "Melt With You"

Wow. This would be a comp I would listen to (I would skip over Martika, Starship & Modern English tho.)

Always Something There To Remind me is a GREAT song. Right up there with Living in A Box for totally awesome 80s synthpop goodness.

**Spinal** · 11-23-2007, 04:26 AM

I kind of like "Toy Soldiers", but I'm not going to try to defend that one as being actually good.

Cool. I didn't understand what you were implying in your earlier post. I personally think it's a great song, too, but I feel embarrassed while listening to it because...it's pop.

All the 80s music being suggested reminds me - there's a soft rock 80s song with a famous saxophone solo. It's hard for me to fully describe it, but does anyone have an idea of what song I'm thinking of?

The first thing that springs to mind is Glenn Frey's "The Heat is On".

I found it - Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. Thanks, though.

That's more 70s than 80s...

**Derek** · 11-24-2007, 07:52 AM

You win dreamdead, especially since she went with some over-obvious choices (Hanson, Britney, Vanilla Ice, Spice Girls) and missed a huge opportunity with Wham!, overlooking "Carless Whisper".

The inclusion of Mr. Mister is brilliant - one I'm embarrassed to have missed myself. Now, I'm mostly disheartened by you and Spinal suggesting that "My Humps" is anything short of plain old awful. And shame on you Spinal for calling "Don't Stop Believing" a good song while ignoring "Melt With You".

**Spinal** · 11-24-2007, 08:37 AM

I think "I Adore Mi Amor" may actually be worse than "I Wanna Sex You Up".
