"Human Nature" by Madonna. I actually like her music, but out of all her work, this sounds the most like the Britney/Christina garbage on the radio. It might actually be the blueprint so to speak.

Also, I like the William Shatner cover of Common Peop

There are so many songs you've all mentioned that I used to love but now can't stand. For instance somewhere deep in my 45 collection is Charlene's "I've Never Been to Me". LOVED that song when it came out. God it's horrible.

As far as strictly new

jaybag, I'd agree with most of those songs, but it's "Love Removal Machine" that makes me think of Spinal Tap.

-Achy Breaky Song
-Jagged Little Pill (whole CD)

How about whole musically styles (now I know there's a few good songs/artists in any cat

"I'm Too Sexy" - Right Said Fred
"Me So Horny" - Two Live Crew (does Rap count as Music?[;)])
"Satisfaction" - Britney Spears (pure blasphemy!)
"My Ding-a-Ling" - Chuck Berry (his record speaks for itself but what was he thinking?)
"Afternoon

My votes for worst songs ever:

"Babe" by Styx
"I Like Dreaming" (I'm glad I forgot who did that piece of fluffy drivel from the mid '70's)
"Rock and Roll Music" by Jefferson Starship
The entire Bad Company catalog (the epitome of cliched rock music)

The worst song ever comes from one of the best groups ever, Siouxsie and the Banshees. Peek-A-Boo is abyssmal. It stands in stark contrast to Siouxsies numerous, excellent compositions.
