20. Mandy Moore, "I Wanna Be With You" (2000) I hated this when it was out, and it annoys me just as much today as it did 6 years ago. Her sweet, sugary voice is very irritating.
19. Kelly Clarkson, "Gone" (2004) That's exactly what I wish Kelly would be - forever. Perfect title.
18. The Automatic, "Monster" (2006) Arguably the most idiotic song I've ever heard. If you're going to produce a record as horrible as this one, it would help to sing about something that exists, at least.
17. John Mayer, "Daughters" (2004) This is one of those occasions where there's something about a song that just eats at me, and I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it was the Z-100 overplay. Maybe it's the lame lyrics. Whatever it is, I hated this right from the first time I heard it, and now, I can't help but turn it off immediately whenever I hear it.
16. Debby Boone, "You Light Up My Life" (1977) How this cheesy 70's borefest managed 10 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 is the biggest mystery of all.
15. MercyMe, "I Can Only Imagine" (2003) I'd be hard-pressed to find one Christian crossover song that I've enjoyed. This is certainly no exception. First of all, what a stupid name for a group - with a random capital M in the middle. I'm so glad this group, and this song, have faded into obscurity. I don't ever want to hear this again.
14. Rolf Harris, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" (1963) This was the "geezer" song I originally intended to put at #1 on this list. When I realized how obscure it was, I decided to knock it down a few notches, to allow for more recognizable songs in the top 10. Anyways, this was a horrid 60's novelty track, a spoken recording with few instrumentals, which managed to reach #3 on the Hot 100.
13. Britney Spears, "Someday (I Will Understand)" (2005) As much as I liked Britney during her early days (in the late 90's), and even up to the "In The Zone" era, I just simply couldn't stand this one. In the lyrics, she mutters something about praying, something about God, and who knows what else. She's had so many great songs over the past 8 years, it's hard to believe she came out with trash like this. Thankfully, it wasn't a big hit. And even more thankfully, I started to like her again with the December 2005 release of the sexy dance track "And Then We Kiss."
12. Kelly Clarkson, "Breakaway" (2004) Another appropriate title, as this song marked Kelly's "breakaway" from her American Idol label, and the start of her next record deal. As bad as her Idol days were, it marked the start of something far worse - a whole year of awful Kelly hit after awful Kelly hit. Five singles, plus a very successful album cut. Everything this woman touches turns to gold, it seems.
11. Clay Aiken, "Invisible" (2003) Clay wasn't lucky enough to have a post-Idol career like Kelly's - and for that, I couldn't be more grateful. But still, this was a big hit in the summer of 2003, and very undeservedly so. Another Fox TV singing contest, and the loser (not even the winner!) gets a free ride. And the lyrics to this one are very disturbing. I mean, just think about what he's saying. The last thing I'd ever want is an invisible Clay Aiken watching me in my bedroom.

I completley disagree on "I Wanna Be With You", "Monster", "Someday (I Will Understand)", and "Breakaway". "Invisible" was good too. "Gone" was okay, but the weakest on an excellent album. John Mayer and MercyMe were just okay to me, but nothing special, and got old fast to me. I will however agree on Debby Boone. Don't know the Rolf Harris song.

HOW SARAH MCLACHLAN WENT TOP 10 IS BLOODY BEYOND ME.

10. Sarah McLachlan, "I Will Remember You" (1999)Album: MirrorballUnfortunately, yes, I will remember this song. As much as I don't want to. It seems like it's meant to sound sad, yet it seems so forced and so fake. A total borefest, custom-made for the AC audience, which had the sad distinction of crossing over to Pop. I'd be quite happy if I never heard this song again. It's just simply horrendous.9. John Lennon, "Give Peace A Chance" (1969)Album: Live In New York CityThe second-highest-ranking liberal song on my countdown. A repetitive, lengthy protest against the Vietnam War. John Lennon repeats the phrase "give peace a chance" over and over again for nearly five minutes, including few other lyrics. How this managed to become a hit is beyond me. Well, at least he didn't denigrate our leader, unlike Pink.8. William Hung, "She Bangs" (2004)Album: InspirationI'm not at all surprised that he got a record deal. In an era in which TV shows manufacture pop singers, it's going to take a lot more than that to surprise me. If Kelly Clarkson got a record deal, I'm not surprised that William Hung got one as well. They're equally bad.

There is one of your choices I completely agree with, and that's William Hung. I can't believe people actually bought his album, let alone that he released one to begin with! Disagreed on Sarah McLachlan... I thought that was a beautiful song. Don't know the John Lennon song though. But it wouldn't surprise me if I liked it.

Agreed with William Hung. Dunno the John Lennon song. But HOW DARE you put Sarah on your list! That's a beautiful song. More beautiful than crap like "Laffy Taffy" and "Tu Principe".

7. Kelly Clarkson, "Since U Been Gone" (2004)Album: Breakaway Another one of the many evils of Kelly. I don't understand why everyone seemed to like this song except me. It even crossed over to Rhythmic, for crying out loud! This time, the Fox-manufactured performer made good use of her record deal, taking this all the way to #2 on the Hot 100 (THANK GOD FOR 50 CENT, SINCE HE STOPPED HER FROM GETTING TO #1). She spent two months of her life on a TV contest, and this is what she ended up with. It's simply astonishing to me.6. Maria Mena, "You're The Only One" (2004)Album: White Turns Blue I'll never forget the time when Z-100 gave this song its first spin. It was a Thursday afternoon in May 2004, and the DJ announced that he was playing something new, a record called "You're The Only One" by Maria Mena. I turned the volume up and gave it a good listen. I couldn't wait for it to be over. It was terrible. She didn't even sing the lyrics; it seemed more like a spoken recording, almost as if it was intended to be a novelty track. It immediately caught on (at least at Z-100), topping the charts at the Interactive Countdown each evening for the next few weeks. Thankfully, it's become very obscure, and I delight in knowing I'll never have to hear it again. Believe me, I don't want to.5. Jimmy Buffett, "Margaritaville" (1977)Album: Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes This always seems to be a perennial favorite on AC stations. Unlike Maria Mena's crapfest, this will never die. Although I think "You're The Only One" might actually be a bit worse, the fact that "Margaritaville" has not faded into obscurity, and continues to remain a popular 70's record, makes me dislike it all the more. The lyrics are totally absurd, surrounded by childlike, sugary, innocent-sounding background noises. It doesn't get much worse than this, in fact, there are only 4 songs I find more unpleasant.

EWWWWWW THAT MARIA MENA RECORD IS DESPICABLE.
Jimmy too... I'll always remember when we went on vacation to Savannah and we took a really crappy boat tour which took us around the factory districts and such, they played "Margaritaville" and the record kept skipping every time they put it on! Glad we didn't have to hear the whole crapfest.

4. Kelly Clarkson, "Behind These Hazel Eyes" (2004)Album: Breakaway "Breakaway" has got to be the most horrible album I've ever heard. In fact, it's the only album from which 6 songs appear on this list, and 3 of those are in the top 10! The lyrics, the ideas behind them and the production are very simplistic. Sad goodbyes, sad breakups. The tears she cries. The tears the TV contestant cries behind her hazel eyes. The tears she cries because 50 Cent robbed her of a #1 hit. I mean, really. Boo-effing-hoo for Kelly.3. Selena, "I Could Fall In Love" (1995)Album: Dreaming Of You Pardon me for making such a cynical remark, but in a way, I'm glad she's gone. I know it's sort of a taboo to speak ill of the dead, but everything I've heard from her has been completely despicable. In this song, everytime she screams out "NEVER LET YOU GO", I find her voice so maddening and anger-provoking that if she came in the room right now, I'd grab her by the throat and NEVER let go! (All right, I'm calm now. Please forgive me for being so dramatic.)

Completely disagreed with both Kelly songs (not surprising), and Selena (may she rest in peace ) The Jimmy Buffett and Maria Mena songs are okay, but neither of them I'd want to hear too often.
