100 Worst Ever Pop Records

[Northstander]

If you watched this last night.....

Agreed with most of the list but Rod Stewart "Do you think I'm sexy?" is a really good track!!! What was that doing on there?

I felt Cliff Richard however, should have replaced The Cheeky Girls at no.1 with that totally uncalled for and blasphemous track of his!!

 

[Gwylan]

Agree Northstander. The Millennium Prayer is an abomination that should have won worst record hands down.

Bit surprised by some of the choices; the likes of Cheeky Girls and Barbie Doll are just trash pop songs; mere inoffensive drivel compared to the likes of MP, Candle in the Wind and The Earth Song.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I was pleasantly surprised to see the likes of Earth Song in there, as well as We Are The World by USA for Africa, and equally pleased (but not surprised) to see f*****g Orville the Duck.

What gets me is that so many people buy some of these novelty records. Granted, in some people's minds, the sight of a 3 year old girl singing (badly) Chick Chick Chick Chick Chicken on TV might for one lingering moment, be considered quite cute, but why on earth would you ever go out and buy it?? I can't imagine ever going home and thinking "mmmm, let's stick that on the stereo right now".

[Braders]

100- babylon zoo- spaceman

thats a quality track

" i can't get off this carousel"

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Some fabulous examples of lyric writing in there too.

"I'd rather jack/ than Fleetwood Mac" -Reynolds Girls

"watch us wreck the mike/watch us wreck the mike/watch us wreck the mike.........psyche!"- PJ and Duncan

and the line about the tramp in the night by Sam Fox.

 

[Northstander]

Yes I agree, but that was the advert version, that actual song "Spaceman" was in fact an Indy/Grunge track as was the biggest pile of trash that it did in fact belong on another planet other that Earth!!!

 

[Meade's Ball]

I am shocked and appalled at the inclusion of Lionel Richie's 'Hello' being included in the Top 100. It is quite possibly the funniest video ever made (its in the running with Richie's seminal ode to the heady combination of ecstasy and sex, All Night Long) and i can't think of many songs that have been used as code amongst secret police in John Woo action films.
How many of us would like to have a bust made by a blind woman and then stalk her? Thats right; everyone!

Hello, i salute you.

 

[Northstander]

I agree until I saw the video last night and agreed with the people on the show.

The Video is in fact very creepy, here is this black guy hiding around corners singing to a "Blind" bird "Is it me your looking for...?"

WTF is all that about!! I think like that Bryan Adams song "Anything I do..." it was and still is constantly played on the radio so when you do hear it, it makes you want to smnash the radio up!!

 

[Barnet Seagull]

26. No way No way - Vanilla.

26?

should be 1


Lots of stuff in there which I wouldn't have in a top 100.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

One of the great mysteries of our time must be why DJs at wedding receptions seem to bring along a set of singles plucked solely from the list of 100 Worst Ever Pop Records

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

i like against all odds by mariah and westlife!! ok, its not the best song in the world but by no way should it be in the top 20!! i really liked "who let the dogs out??" too!!

does that make me a bad person??

 

[Soton Seagull]

does that make me a bad person??

No, just bad taste!

 

[Northstander]

No of course not, everyone has their own likes and dislikes in music but there is a lot of stuff in there that I would NEVER admit to buying.....

St Winifreds school..."Grandma we love you" for one!!!!

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

oh my god, whats dirrty doing there!!

ok, i have bought about 13 of them through albums and singles!! oops

 

[Braders]

probably got all 100

 

[Northstander]

I have got quite a lot of em.. BUT I live in a pub and is for our cheesy Sunday night disco's!

Do I get away with it!!??

I've done a few mates' weddings and all of work's xmas and summer parties for the past couple of years. I've never played any of the top 100.

I must admit to having been tempted to play Vanilla Ice.

 

[Northstander]

Obviously you keep it modern but once everyone is pissed and enjoying themselves you can't go wrong with oldies.

Shaky...This ole House
The Nolans ...I'm in the mood for dancing (All the pissed up girls love this...)
Double trouble and the Rebel Mc
Lisa Marie.....It feels like Im in love
Villiage People - YMCA

great stuff for weddings, pub discos etc!!!!

> 74. Dirrty - Cristina Aguilera

I noticed none of the 'experts' or 'celebrities' on last night's show had the temerity to slag off this record.

There's a reason for that - it's f***ing great.
