1. I like a few of them, but I'm so glad to see "Final Countdown" on that list!
That song is one of the most annoying pieces of dung ever recorded.

4. There were a few that I liked
back when they were popular.

Most of the "worst moments" had me laughing out loud though.

....but more than the ten songs, I really like this review.

22
TOBY KEITH
“Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” 2002
Oklahoma redneck runs for office on Hate ticket

Outraged by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Toby Keith enlisted in the Air Force — no, sorry, he wrote a fight anthem so vengeful, it makes “The Star-Spangled Banner” sound like “Give Peace a Chance.” Though right-wing radio hosts and politicians called him a hero, Keith (who hadn’t had a hit in years) moaned, “It sucks ass that I have to defend myself for being patriotic.” Wrong. You have to defend yourself for celebrating violence and bloodlust.

Worst Moment“We’ll put a boot in your ass; it’s the American way,” Keith sings, mistaking revenge for ideals of liberty.

8. Does a trend-fellating ragazine like Blender have the right to make a "50 worst songs" list?
I mean, reading this over-cluttered pile of starfucking bullshit is like having WebJunk 2.0, My Super Sweet 16, that tired bastard Maddox and the most pretentious scenester "required to like" groups featured in SPIN shouted at you in 5.1 Surround.

Listen to the countdown
They're playin' our song again

I can't get jumping jack
I wanna hold - get back
Moonlight muzak
Knick knack patty whack

11. Well, only 2, and they are borderline
Shiny Happy People is ok at times for just fun, though it sucks as an REM song.

And The End by the Doors is only good when totally blitzed and sitting in a hot tub hitting a 4' tall bong.

But, other than that, I have no real disagreements with the list, although I'd throw the Macarena, (sp) and any other dance that makes people all dance the same moves on the list as well. ;)
