Top 10 Worst Songs Of All Time

Sometimes musicians release a song that is so bad it will generate cringe-inducing tremors throughout my body when I hear it being played. In more extreme situations the song makes me want to shove a pencil in my ears to stop the pain of listening to that song. 

Note: Since this is going on the internet, I don’t actually want to stick a pencil in my ears and neither should you.

1. "New Shoes" by Paolo Nutini

How about instead of spending money on shoes, you spend it on hiring a writer to write you a good song Paolo.

2. "Roll to Me" by Del Amitri

This 1995 pop song has haunted me ever since it was released. If I were dead, this song would roll me over in my grave. Since I’m still among the living it just makes me die a little inside when I hear it.

3. "Last Kiss" (remake) by Pearl Jam

I know that being from Seattle I am supposed to love everything Pearl Jam does, but come on, Eddie Vedder singing the "Last Kiss" makes me wish I were the dead girl in the car.

4. "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" by Bryan Adams

The theme song for the barely remembered film Don Juan DeMarco. When this song was released it was so overplayed that there was nowhere I could go that wasn’t playing it. It was broadcast in malls, grocery stores, the radio on most pop stations, my college campus, and in my nightmares. The best way for a woman to make sure I won't love her is for her to love this song.

5. "Too Much" by The Dave Matthews Band

You know what is too much Dave, the number of times you say “too much” in this song.

6. "Ob-la-di, ob-la-da" by The Beatles

Don’t freak out! I’m not saying I dislike the Beatles. The thing with the Beatles is they have come out with some of the best music of all time, but they also released this stinker. “Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!” Yeah brah, life goes on, just hopefully without ever hearing this song again. 

7. "Give Peace A Chance" - by John Lennon

Speaking of the Beatles let's discuss this John Lennon solo endeavor. Yes, we should give peace a chance, but we shouldn’t have an entire song that just repeats those lines over and over again. Maybe someone should have played this for Dave Matthews before he embarked on his writing career.

8. "Change the World" by Eric Clapton & Babyface

Let me start by saying Eric Clapton is a musical God. However, even God can make mistakes. This time he did when he teamed up with Babyface on this song. “I would be the sunlight in your universe” No you wouldn’t, because my universe wouldn’t have this song in it.

9. "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train

The band has the name Train. Right there that puts them on a crap list just for having a crappy name. But when "Hey Soul Sister" came out and received constant airplay that solidified it for me. This band blows!

10. "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston and "My Heart Will Go on" by Celine Dion

I am combining these two together because they go together in the same pile of garbage.
