80. Mr. President, "Coco Jamboo" (1996) Ridiculous name for the song. Ridiculous name for the artist. Ridiculous song altogether.
79. Anna Nalick, "Wreck Of The Day (2005) I have yet to hear an Anna Nalick song that I've liked. That should be a hint: she's got more coming.
78. 30 Seconds To Mars, "The Kill (Bury Me)" (2006) This goes for adds at Pop tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Z-100 doesn't add this, so that it doesn't become forever burned into my brain. The first 30 seconds, no pun intended, are tolerable, and then the record trails off into a screamfest.
77. 98 Degrees, "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)" (2000) Another ridiculous name for a group, who produced a song with a ridiculous title. I don't need a translation of "one night." Saying it in one language is sufficient.
76. Bob Lind, "Elusive Butterfly" (1966) "I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love....". Nothing but horrid geezerly pop.
75. Staind, "It's Been Awhile" (2001) This was boring right from the start. Its overplay on Z-100 certainly didn't change my opinion for the better.
74. John Lennon, "Imagine" (1971) A liberal political protest anthem. The only difference between this song and Pink's "Dear Mr. President" is that Lennon didn't directly denigrate our leader. That's why DMP will rank much higher on this list.
73. Enrique Iglesias, "Hero" (2001) Of course, at the time of its release, this song gave everyone a sentimental feeling. It was so appropriate for such a tragic time, but now, it sounds so corny and lame.
72. Creed, "One Last Breath" (2002) I've never really enjoyed anything from this group, their debut single "Higher" being a minor exception.
71. Paper Lace, "The Night Chicago Died" (1974) Another Super Sounds Of The 70's concoction. Besides, what the hell is this song about? When did Chicago die? Last time I checked, Chicago still exists. If this song is true, and Chicago has been gone for the past 33 years, that means I have been believing a lie for my entire life!

I completely disagree on "Give Me Just One Night", "It's Been Awhile", "Imagine", "Hero" and "One Last Breath". Anna Nalick's song is pretty good, and the Mr. President one was okay. I will, however, agree with you on 30 Seconds To Mars... what a screamfest! I probably wouldn't like the other two... they look too geezerly for me

^ Yeah, I can't stand most 70's music, but even I like that song.

70. Creed, "My Sacrifice" (2001) As I said before, nearly everything I've heard from this band has been bored me.
69. Blues Image, "Ride, Captain, Ride" (1970) This is not the typical "geezerly" pop record that you'd expect from this era. It's actually a rock song, but a rather poor excuse for one, at its best. The absurd lyrics totally ruin it.
68. Ben E. King, "Stand By Me" (1961) Songs about friendship always suck. Hands down.
67. Luther Vandross, "Dance With My Father" (2003) What a disgusting title! It conjures up a very dirty thought in my mind, regardless of what the actual song may be about.
66. Bill Withers, "Lean On Me" (1972) Again, if it's about friendship, it automatically sucks.
65. Frankie J., "Don't Wanna Try" (2003) This song was clearly intended to be sad and emotion-provoking. It sounds so forced, and that's why I don't care for it.
64. Dionne Warwick, "That's What Friends Are For" (1986) This is just an ultra-cheesy version of #66 and #68. I'm not going to say it again, because I've already been as blunt as possible with the other two examples.
63. Dixie Chicks, "Not Ready To Make Nice" (2006) Liberal propaganda.
62. Vanessa Williams, "Save The Best For Last" (1992) I can't come up with a witty comment to describe my thoughts on this one. I just don't like it - simple as that.
61. Los Lonely Boys, "Heaven" (2004) From the first time I heard this song, I knew would what would happen....and I was correct. It would become a huge pop hit, and I would turn it off every time it came on.

I like "My Sacrifice", "Stand By Me", "Dance With My Father", "Don't Wanna Try", "Not Ready To Make Nice", "Save The Best For Last" (especially) and "Heaven". For "Lean On Me", I prefer Club Nouveau's version. "That's What Friends Are For" isn't bad when I barely hear it, but I definitely do not want to hear it too much. Don't know the other one, but I'll probably not like it

Just because it's a classic doesn't mean I'm automatically required to like it! Fair point, it's just.. there are so many much worse songs around. I like the Vanessa Williams one out of the most recent lot (the rest I've either not heard or am indifferent to), it was used on an advert over here during the 90s for Gravy and just conjures up great memories of my mum's Sunday lunch roasts... mmm... roasties, carrots, beef and gravy- can't beat it. *drools*

60. Peter, Paul And Mary, "Leaving On A Jet Plane" (1969) Geezerly, morbid and depressing.
59. Rivieras, "California Sun" (1962) Geezerly, not so morbid, and not so depressing. Packed with unintelligible lyrics.
58. Cranberries, "Linger" (1993) I'm awful sorry, Simp, but to leave this song out would be dishonest on my part. Lead singer Dolores O'Riordan's voice is very irritating to me. Do you have to let it (this song) linger (forever in my memory)? Unfortunately, it will.
57. Keith, "98.6" (1967) I'll reveal just one lyric from this song, and you'll understand how horrible it is: "How lovely is the medicine that saved me, oh, I love my baby."
56. Maroon 5, "Sunday Morning" (2002) The only song of theirs that I strongly dislike. Annoying vocals, and constant Z-100 overplay.
55. The Archies, "Sugar, Sugar" (1969) This was the 1960's pop track that Nitty sampled on "Nasty Girl", which was previously included on my list. A prime example of "bubblegum" pop.
54. Ashlee Simpson, "La La" (2004) In a similar sense to Maroon 5, this is the only song of hers that I don't like. The lyric "la la" is the poorest excuse for a lyric that I can possibly think of - even a three-year-old child can sing "la-la-la-la-la"! It shows a true lack of talent if you can't think of anything better to sing tha a nonsensical syllable. Ashlee screams out, "You make me wanna....", and follows that with "la la." She couldn't even finish a sentence!
53. Finger Eleven, "One Thing" (2004) The whole song is spent talking about this one elusive "thing", in a very repetitive fashion, and the singer never reveals what it is! What a waste!
52. Kimberley Locke, "Eighth World Wonder" (2004) One American Idol song has crashed! And BEWARE - there are MANY still to come! *cough-Kelly-cough*
51. Del Shannon, "Runaway" (1961) Horrid. Just simply horrid.

Completely disagreed on "Linger", "Sunday Morning", "La La", "One Thing" and "8th World Wonder".
The others I either don't know or am not a fan of... I prefer Chantal's version of "Leaving On A Jet Plane" by far.
