Worst "rock" song of the 1980's?? (heavy metal, scorpions, artist)

[TVofM]

I vote for "99 red balloons"

[hilgi]

That would be a long list.

[aardvarks]

I agree it would be a really long list, most of 80's rock-heavy metal lost me.

[bellalunatic]

the list would be long for sure! but the first & WORST offense that came to my mind was this: Jefferson Starship turd


YouTube - We Built This City

yes that is vomit.idk when they went from airplane to starship they really let it go.


YouTube - David Bowie - Dancing In The Street

i hate that song
even more i hate 80's fashion

believe me im a bowie fan and a jagger fan but that is just horrible.

That da da da song was really annoying



The Final Countdown was super cheesy



But be that as it may, even the worst song of the 80s is still better than the crap that passes for music today

"Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners was quite puke inducing.

"I Would Walk 500 Miles" by The Proclaimers certainly made me reach for the barf bag.

"99 red balloons" still takes the cake in my book.

I thought 80's "metal" was actually pretty good and now you can't go anywhere without hearing it in commercials, on the radio, at ballgames - it's everywhere. Scorpions, Ozzy, AC/DC, etc. There's a reason you still hear THAT music in 2010 and not the flavor of the minute pop garbage people were doing backflips over in 1982 or 1985.

If you wanna call that rock music.....

[rlrl]

red balloons or luftballoons? is the artist Nina? I'm forgetting myself now

yes others have expressed distaste for the Come On Eileen song. it's like nails on the chalkboard. like trumped up enthusiasm when it sounds like it's all faked and put on. what may we ask are they trying to get Eileen to do??!!

And yes, I do take enjoyment in telling the people who were doing the backflips over the flavor-of-the-month pop-crapola in the 1980's...

LOL!!!!!!
