Worst song in rock history:

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'm not kidding you. Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Rap and heavy Metal all are different categories of rock music. I would have thought a person like you that prides him or herself on your knowledge of rock music would know this.

Thats a broad category....and very subjective....but correct me if I'm wrong, this thread was made with the intent on singling out a song from the classic "rock" genre...not some fringe area...amirite?
Do the math.

Here's another one I heard entirely too many times in my youth

 

[darken65]

Come on. None of you have come close to touching a lyric like:


Abra, abra, cadbra . . . . I want to reach out and grab ya.

Good enough to be copied:

If it is about classic rock then I admit that song doesn't qualify. I thought we were discussing a broader category.

 

[Wazmankg]

Music is subjective Waz. It doesn't mean folks that dislike the song have shitty taste in music.

Not necessarily. He's not for everyone. It's sort of a troll thread, though, the way the question is framed.

Why do folks get so defensive when somebody expresses an opinion different from their own?

I LOVE CRAPPY MUSIC

I can admit it

Arguing about stuff is big part of what we do here and why the board exists. I don't care who likes Born To Run or Springsteen. I lost interest in his music a long time ago. But I think his first several albums, including BTR, are pretty great, though I rarely listen to them anymore.

It's not being "defensive".....and there's nothing wrong the OP's opinion...the problem is, is that it's a flawed one.

 

[GNG]

A dumb song...

Fair enough.

Whadda you think about this gem?

Oh man, that's one of my wife's all time favorites. It predates our relationship by a couple of years. I came across the album when moving all of mine the other day. Fortunately we share many other musical likes and dislikes.

That's just a catchy pop song and to answer your other question rather broadly, any music that could have existed without the emergence of R&R in the early 50s I don't consider rock music.

 

[IndyAndy]

Absolute worst rock song ever:


Lame-ass guitar riffs, & every other line in the lyrics is "Bam-a-lam"

 

[beardown07]

 

[Wazmankg]

Fwiw, I think most of Queen's music is bloated, pompous crap, but I'd never say that Bohemian Rhapsody is the worst song in rock history because I find it ridiculous.

 

[Wazmankg]

I like a lot of REM's stuff but could have really done without this one. Good add.

 

[BUD]

Just about anything the Grateful Dead ever did.
Just pick one. There's plenty


I'll be adding more songs by different artists later.

I agree with you, the Dead are dead. They do have 2 good songs, I can't remember the names of them

I love 50's and 60's rock even if it was before my time.
