Gosh I have to pick just one? There are so many horrible songs. Anything by Alanis Morissette makes me switch the radio station. I cant stand her, for some reason her voice is like driving nails into my ears. Anything by the Backstreet Boys or InSync is right up there too. I worked at a place that played them at least twice a day. It was horrible. There are other songs but its late and I cant think of them right now.

Can you back that up any further than saying "they're religious, so they suck"? I'm not a big fan of religion myself, but some of those songs, properly performed, are truly works of art.

You're not going to get away with classifying an entire genre as "suck" here. You can claim all country, rap, R&B, or rock & roll sucks, but that telegraphs ignorance, not good taste.

Edit: Illustrative example: Eric Clapton performing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"

Hey now, "My Father's Eyes" is a good one.
As for bad, has anyone mentioned Hanson's MMBop here yet? That was pretty raucous.

Second posting down. MmBop worst catchy song ever.
Cannonball-(Breeders) best catchy song ever.

No. YOU suck.

Actually, while I've always enjoyed his old stuff, I would have to agree that his newer stuff (80's and newer) does kind of suck, at least when compared against his early work.

Clapton moves around the musical spectrum almost as much as James Taylor. His concerts almost guarantee you'll hear both stuff you love and hate.

Tomita's version is mind bogglingly great.

Oh, and if you value your hearing and sanit, stay WAY FAR AWAY from Schoenberg. (or anything else describing itself as "12-tone row".

Kronos Quartet - loath them! A friend of mine has every CD put out by this modern classical/jazz group and I once had to endure 6 hours in the car with her playing nothing but on her tape deck. AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!
