Rolling Stone just released it's top 10 worst songs of the 80's. While many are without a doubt some of the worst music of the decade, a few of the tunes are debatable, according to ABC News.
Here are the top Worst Songs of the 80's:
1. Starship - "We Built This City" (On Rock and Roll)
2. Europe - "The Final Countdown"
3. Chris de Burgh - "The Lady in Red
4. Wham! — “Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)”
5. Men Without Hats — “The Safety Dance”
6. Falco — “Rock Me Amadeus”
7. Bobby McFerrin — “Don’t Worry Be Happy”
8. Toni Basil — “Mickey”
9. Taco — “Puttin’ On the Ritz”
10. Rick Astley — “Never Gonna Give You Up”
The decision of what songs should appear on the list was voted on by the readers of Rolling Stone Magazine. This is a decade of the big "MTV" hair, leg warmers, gigantic padded shoulders for ladies shirts and jackets and ankle socks with high heels.
Jefferson Starship's "We Built this City" came out on top by a huge margine, as this seems to be one song that the masses did not like! The band, Jefferson Airplane was a popular rock group of the 60's and their attempt to reinvent themselves as Jefferson Starship was a failure for many of their origninal fans.
