Since we have a worst songs of the 80's thread and someone suggested it I figured I'd start the topic.

voodoo · 12:01 PM

Oh oh oh... Anything by Nirvana or/and Metallica. Anything.

[edit] During the 90s mind you. Well, Nirvana wasn't the absolutely worst. Just one of the most overrated bands of that time. New Kids on the Block.... shiver, made some really bad things. "Step by step" or something, was one of their hits. Ugh.

Another vote for New Kids on the Block. There is quite a bit from the 90's. I think it was one fo the worst decades for music.

Definately. If I hear that song played as Musak on radio stations or in buildings I think I will scream

Justin W. Williams · Nov 21, 2002, 01:37 PM

Anything off Pearl Jam's No Code CD. God that thing blew.

chris v · Nov 21, 2002, 01:56 PM

My daughter made me listen to N'sync No Strings attached all the way through in the car yesterday.

Right now, anything off of it gets my vote. I am so fed up with the auto-tuned vocal synth sound I could scream. But not scream like Whitney. Nobody should EVER scream like Whitney.

Or that stuff Mariah does where she goes pitch to pitch.

ZackS · Nov 21, 2002, 02:37 PM

I believe the proper transcription of Whitney's "I will always love you" is not possible with roman characters, but at least this one os slightly more accurate.

And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WILL AlLyAYS LU-UVE YOOOOOOOUOOOOOUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOooooooOOOOooUUUUUOOOO oooooo HEEOLOOOOOOOOELLEOLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOYOULOOOOOO!

Arty50 · Nov 21, 2002, 03:26 PM

Anything from Dave Matthews, Creed, Smashmouth, or the Offspring. I HATE that garbage.

keekeeree · Nov 21, 2002, 03:38 PM

It's just gotta be Achy-Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus. To fully appreciate how bad this song is, one must read what passes for lyrics:

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone
You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

(Chorus)
But don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

You can tell your Ma I moved to Arkansas
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway

Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not O.K.
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

(Repeat chorus to end)

God...it hurts the brain just reading those words...

Sorry to hear that. How are your ears? Did you hold your lunch in? I'm sure a Disney soundtrack or something would have been better.

Jansar · Nov 21, 2002, 03:53 PM

Although most of you have bad taste of music (not liking Nirvana or Offspring), I figure you'll all agree the the boy / girl band music is all total $hit.

Let me put it in words you can understand. TO ME, they are bad taste. To. Me.

To me.

And by the way, since when were Nirvana and Offspring referred to as bad bands? We're talking about the WORST bands here, genius.

Y'know, until now I've managed to never hear that song. I've only heard of it. And now you've posted the lyrics. Thanks so much.

Anomalous · Nov 21, 2002, 04:36 PM

Anything by Alanis Morrisette.

Patrick · Nov 21, 2002, 04:48 PM

No, we're talking about the worst songs, not the worst bands. In many cases, the bands would be one-hit wonders. Or maybe it's more like hit-and-run. Let me add a couple�

The Macarena
Who Let The Dogs Out?
anything by the Spice Girls

<shudder>

Yeah, you're right. I wasn't quite specific enough. It's just that someone who posted before me was listing bands, so I based my response on bands too.

voodoo · Nov 21, 2002, 04:55 PM

Actually I'd likke to add that "I'm so horny, so horny, horny horny" song and "Mambo no5".

But when talking about the 90s, it is diffucult to name sepcific songs, rather than bands due to stupid stupid record companies.

skalie · Nov 21, 2002, 05:07 PM

If the question had been "what was the best song of the 90's?" I would have expected "Pretty fly for a white guy" by the Offspring to feature somewhere in the thread.

Punk pop at it's finest.

Funny thing is iirc he didn't write the lyrics! Some other schmuck did. Still horrid stuff all the same.

micael jackson, but he sucked in every decade and still does. Eww he has no nose.

appledude83 · Nov 21, 2002, 07:02 PM

I'll go with that Rape Me song by Nirvana and anything that Creed made.

DaKiwi2788 · Nov 21, 2002, 08:11 PM

Anything Metallica gets a second vote.

milhous · Nov 21, 2002, 08:18 PM

What Is Love by Haddaway comes to mind. I think that was early 90's material. I just can't stand it. Having to wake up to the alarm with the radio station playing that song day in and day out during the grade school years irritated me.

Phanguye · Nov 21, 2002, 08:21 PM

i know we are supposed to say songs and not bands... but since creed only has one song ill say creed

That damn song from Titanic by Enya. Talk about overkill on the radio.

MacGorilla · Nov 21, 2002, 08:49 PM

How about that song...don't know its title that goes something like, "A little bit of gena by my side, a little bit of tina in the sun, a little bit of me makes me your man..." GAG

residentEvil · Nov 21, 2002, 09:20 PM

anything from seatle...

good thing the misfits and ramones still toured in the 90s (and now too, in some form or another).

Ba-dup, *crash!* (CV--High five's voodoo.)

I was in a cover band for years, and we covered some Metallica. They're charlatans and poseurs who can't play their way out of a paper sack.

I ask myself the same question. Metallica , Disturbed, and Slipknot are my favorite bands to listen to when working out or when I am in a generally shitty mood

That was Celine Dion! Never ever mistake Celine for Enya!

That's "Mambo No. 5" by one hit wonder Lou Vega.

I can't think of the worst song, probably any good song ripped off by a hip-hop group.

No, there was a song on there by Enya or some Enya sounding person too.

That's like asking how a person can "not like" KISS. They both suck. They always did. Traffic noise is more fun.

Mambo #5. It was mentioned earlier.
