411mania's "worst 80s songs":
 

I dont know how much stock you wanna put into this? I personally think they're fulla **** 98% of the time. But, they may/may not be here, read on and see for yourself and comment:

411mania.com: Music - The 411 Music Top Five 09.24.08: Absolute Worst Singles Of The 1980s

thats what i think of as bubble-gum pop

too cutesy and formulaic

i agree -- those were some of the worst songs of the '80's

I like at least 30-40% of the songs they mentioned. And the person who listed "She's Blinded Me With Science" as one of the worst deserves a smack upside the head.

I can't stand that song.

Songs I like on the list:

Men Without Hats- "Safety Dance"
Soft Cell - "Tainted Love"
B-52s- "Love Shack"


That's it. Everything else I agree with

the Heathen that put Rick Astley on his list should be shot

I dunno...I kind of like Duran Duran. And a-ha. Hell, I even like that Toto song!

Yeah, I'd say on average two songs on each list were not bad at all.

Also, I'm curious why the first author would describe "Don't Worry Be Happy", an a cappella song, as "electronically devoid of life". The same guy describes Georgia Satellites as rockabilly. We are obviously not dealing with very knowledgeable people here.

One by Metallica?
:crazy:

Though that Dan Ayckroyd/Tom Hanks music video is possibly the single greatest thing I've ever seen.

The fact that hardly any of them could name 5 songs that were actually from the 80s tells you everything you need to know.
