That list is annoying, but it's meant to be. The ten "worst" were Jefferson Starship - We Built This City, Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart, Wang Chung - Everybody Have Fun Tonight, Limp Bizkit - Rollin', Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby, Huey Lewis and the News - The Heart of Rock & Roll, Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy, Eddie Murphy - Party All The Time, Madonna - American Life and Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder - Ebony and Ivory.
Other songs were The Doors - The End, Aqua - Barbie Girl, The Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence...
It's such a shallow bid for controversy that I don't even want to dispute it -- the one thing I will say is that I lost a little bit of respect for VH1 after I saw that they're making a special based on this list. Meh.
OMG!! They are attacking the classics too. Those shouldn't come anywhere near this list. The list sucks major balls just like that VH1 list of best song in the last 25yrs. I am so glad I did not subscribe to Blender (even for free).
Yeah, the inconsistency of the list is pretty bad too. They disqualify the Macarena and Who Let The Dogs Out because they're intentionally cheesy or humorous, but include I'm Too Sexy and Barbie Girl. I would argue that either of those two songs are intended to be more of a humorous novelty than the Macarena, heh.
And even if you hate Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (which I did for a long time), it doesn't belong on this list ;P
Oh, and on their worst artist list last year, they had The Doors and Mick Jagger, heh. Apparently they have a hate on the Doors.
