There's definitely a few good songs on that list. Not many, but a few.

And remember, "I'm-a darkness, your old friend!"

05-04-2004, 12:39 AM

^ Yeah, agreed...

Hm. I could probably think of songs worse (well, in my opinion I guess.) than a lot of those on the list actually... o-O;

And...

Quote:

48. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da ... The Beatles

I must impale somebody with a spork for a Beatles song being in there. Because...um... yeh... Because. *blinks*

Bowser314 · 05-04-2004, 01:08 AM

that list is a farce. I see NO boy band songs on there whatsoever.

Ditto.

There are too many good songs on that list.

05-04-2004, 06:29 AM

Wah wah, cry all you want about the beatles sucking, but you all will realize it someday when you actually get a good taste in music. hahahaha ^_^

Neko^^

05-04-2004, 04:44 PM

^I was talking more about "The Sounds of Silence".

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

05-04-2004, 04:55 PM

33# was quite good actually.

05-04-2004, 05:03 PM

^ If your talking about number 33 on that list, then you need to be shot.

Although number 50 should have been at number 1, IMO.

05-04-2004, 05:17 PM

Flamethrower Mario · 05-04-2004, 06:37 PM

Dumb lists like this appear all the time. Usually from elitist *******s who wish they were musicians, but lack any talent, so decide to bring down people who have some. I mean, come on. The Doors and the Beatles are among the greatest rock bands of all time - clearly this guy just hates classic rock.

New Kids on the Block were a boyband..

05-05-2004, 11:35 AM

A lot of those songs earned their place there but theres a few good ones.

I can think of a lot worse than The Final Countdown (dodo do do, dodo dododo, dodo do do...etc)

Vinny · 05-05-2004, 12:55 PM

Even you, Neko, must admit that there's much, MUCH worse things out there than The Beatles. Besides, even though I'm not a huge fan of theirs, "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da" is one of their better songs. I mean, maybe if he had picked "Wild Honey Pie" or something, then maybe. But "Ob-La-Di?" What the hell's this guy's problem?

And Neko, if liking Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and God knows what other bands you hate means I have bad taste, then I'm King of the Tasteless and I'm DAMN PROUD OF IT

Feh. 'Sounds of Silence', one of the worst songs ever made? Really. Worse than 'Love is a Battlefield' and 'Hotel California'. Worse than 'She's Having My Baby' or 'Copa Cabana'. Worse than 'Escape (The Pina Colada Song)' and 'Midnight at the Oasis'. Yeah, I'll buy that for a dollar.

And you know...songs like 'Everybody Have Fun Tonight' and 'I'm Too Sexy' don't belong on a list of the worst songs ever, anyway. Because they're entertaining, and truly execrable songs do not entertain; they merely suck.
