Blender, a music magazine that people seem to take seriously for reasons I’ve never quite understood, has released a list of the 50 Worst Songs of All Time. Starship’s “We Built This City” is #1, leading off a pattern of annoying but generally innocuous songs in the top ten. Though I agree with the placement of “Achy Breaky Heart,” as well as Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin.’”
Most outrageous is the inclusion of The Doors’ “The End” and Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sounds of Silence,” which in addition to being great songs are both known for leading off classic films. And besides, where’s “Girl You Know It’s True”?
