25. Coldplay - Speed Of Sound I LOVE Coldplay, as most of you know, and I was totally looking forward to 'X & Y.' It was one of the albums I was just totally excited for this year, because I kept hearing promises of a new sound, something different from 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head.' And then "Speed Of Sound" came around, and disappointed. It's not so much that it's a bad song, but the anticipation that was built off really wasn't rewarded with the payoff, and for that reason, Coldplay is on the Worst Of 2005 list.
24. Seether - Remedy It's nice to know that despite the fact that, you know, he's dead and all, Kurt Cobain is still making music. Let's face it, kids... "Remedy" sounds just like a rejected Nirvana song. And Seether is NOT Nirvana.
23. Backstreet Boys - Just Want You To Know I'll let you in on a secret... the Backstreet Boys show I saw back in September was probably my favourite concert of the year. Ahh, memories. However, "Just Want You To Know" probably won't go down as one of those classic BSB songs. In fact, it's likely their worst.
22. Bowling For Soup - Almost When Bowling For Soup broke out with "Girl All The Bad Guys Want," they were refreshing. These days, the comedy in their songs is just horrible and overdone.
21. Sheryl Crow - Good Is Good I have 7 words for you: "Good is good and bad is bad." Prolific songwriting there, Sheryl. Musta put a lot of thought into that line. With every release from Sheryl Crow, I miss the days of her 90s releases more and more. Remember "All I Wanna Do" and "If It Makes You Happy"? Those were good times. Now Sheryl Crow is nothing more than a HotAC staple with songs that just sound more and more like each other.
20. Collective Soul - Better Now Collective Soul is another group who had great success in the past, and then returned with a bland album. 'Youth' was nothing compared to some of CS's past albums, and rather boring singles didn't help. The fact that "Better Now" just wouldn't die didn't help the cause. It became one of the most overplayed and wretched songs of the year, and "How Do You Love" is shaping up to be a Worst Of 2006 chart hit, too!
19. Jennifer Lopez - Get Right Fabolous helped the remix, but nothing could save this song from being one huge mess. From the annoying sax loop to Lopez' ability to... just not sing all that well, "Get Right" was one of the worst songs of the first half of the year. At the year's end, though, it only finished 19, so that's got to say something about the crap ahead.
18. Carrie Underwood - Inside Your Heaven "Idol Singles" are never the high point of an artist's career (unless you're Ruben Studdard and that's about all you got), mainly because they're sappy, they're cutesy and they're awful. Well, "Inside Your Heaven" is no exception, and when sung by the FarmBot, you have a recipe for disaster!
17. Bif Naked - Nothing Else Matters It's usually a good idea to stay away from Metallica songs, especially when you already have a song in your library that was remixed by the Boomtang Boys ("Spaceman"). Apparently Bif didn't get this notice, and as a result, she'll pay the price. Bif, never sing Metallica songs. Never.
16. Daniel Powter - Bad Day Hey! This guy's from the town up from me! I mean, if I wanted, I could drive up to his childhood home and visit his folks! However, I won't, 'cause I'd probably launch into how much I dislike this song, and that would be awkward. Daniel Powter may be a decent talent, but when a song gets overplayed to the point that you just want to shoot the radio when it comes on, you really start thinking about why you don't want to hear it. In this case, it's because Powter's vocals are kinda whiny, and in the long run, that's just something I can do without.
15. Rob Thomas - Lonely No More Remember when Rob Thomas didn't have to shake his ass in music videos? Yeah, that was back with matchbox twenty, when he was an almost credible rock musician. Then he decided that leather pants and a bootay shake would be a good idea. Nope... it wasn't, Rob.
14. Frankie J. - More Than Words Does this one even need explaining? Take a song like Extreme's "More Than Words," combine it with a sub-par "singer" and you have a hot mess of a cover. Far from the high point in Frankie J.'s career.
13. Mariah Carey featuring Fatman Scoop - It's Like That 'The Emancipation Of Mimi' had enough decent ballads that I have no idea what anyone was thinking when they decided this track would re-introduce Mariah to the masses. Eek. Apparently somebody enjoyed "Loverboy" too much! Carey made up for this track with a handful of decent hits, but wow... this is NOT the way to start your comeback album.
12. Avril Lavigne - Fall To Pieces What can I say about Avril that I haven't yet? I just don't much like her! Her voice is so whiny, not even a decently written song can assist her. Let's hope that we won't have to hear from her for a while after she and Sum 41 boy tie the knot.
11. Alanis Morissette - Crazy Like Avril, Alanis just came across as whiny on this track. Seal has the perfect voice for this song, however when Morissette takes her turn, she takes away from the original. It's far from a decent cover, and a poor excuse for a single. Keep it in the commercials.
10. Ashlee Simpson - L.O.V.E. After a disaster of a first album, I gave Ashlee the benefit of the doubt with album two. She had to have done some growing since "La La," and for a minute, I thought she had, which isn't to say that "Boyfriend" was a 'good' song, but it was catchy enough to stick in your head. It had the same quality as a song being sung by a drunken bum down on the corner. The slurs stuck in your head. However, deciding to spell was a BAD decision. Ashlee Simpson will forever be enjoyed best in a drunken stupor, either hers (in a McDonalds), or yours, while listening to tracks like "L.O.V.E."
9. Lindsay Lohan - First Hate her. That is all.
8. Jennifer Lopez featuring Fat Joe - Hold You Down Didn't Lopez release this song with LL Cool J? Well, if she didn't, they sure sound the same! 2 singles into "Rebirth" and Lopez still can't sing. An uninspired "rap" from Fat Joe didn't help the issue, and JenPez ended up with even more crap her record label couldn't pay radio stations to play.
7. Bon Jovi - Have A Nice Day On the topic of artists who already released songs, Bon Jovi had a hit on the radio a few years back with the song "It's My Life." When "It's My Life Pt. 2" hit the airwaves, well, nobody cared. Listen to it! It's the same damn song!
6. Destiny's Child - Stand Up For Love Let's play a little game! What Destiny's Child song was the bigger hit? "Survivor" or "Emotion"? "Bootylicious" or "Girl"? "Jumpin' Jumpin'" or "Cater 2 U"? Well, it's never the latter, which should have given Beyoncé and company a hint as to what kind of song they should have released as a final bow out. I guess nobody gave them that report, though, and Destiny's Child left us with a smaltzy, overdone, Whitney-Houston-esque ballad. Flop? You betcha!
5. Jessica Simpson - These Boots Were Made For Walkin' Now I'm all for hot women gettin' in swimsuits and sluttin' it up in videos, but that usually applies to semi-decent songs. You know, you don't even need a decent song... just slut it up anyway. BUT, there's a point where you can slut it up too much. That was the case with Jessica Simpson's horrendous cover of "These Boots Were Made For Walkin'." I mean, was there really anything more to this song that bedroom talk and moaning? Not really! Oh, poor Willie Nelson got roped into this disaster. Poor Willie. At least he has enough weed to help him forget about it.
4. Gwen Stefani - Cool Late in 2004, Gwen Stefani released one of the most diverse, innovative pop records of the year, with a bunch of great dance and electronic tunes like "What You Waiting For" and "Bubble Pop Electric." And then she releases a crappy ass slow song to follow up the massively popular "Hollaback Girl." Look, I think Gwen Stefani is a fine singer. I love her 90s work with No Doubt when they were still a pop-rock band. But "Cool" just did nothing but annoy me! Hoo Hoo Hoooo!
3. Hilary Duff - Beat Of My Heart Is this even a song? I mean, I know there's music, and she says "Beat Of My Heart," like, 90 times, but there's really nothing redeeming about this 'song.' 2005 will go down as the year Hilary Duff got her Big Girl teeth. Ahh, memories.
2. Train - Get To Me It was ALMOST the worst song of the year, but was passed at the last minute. But hey, it's still THAT bad. Between Pat's voice (which I can't stand), and the juvenile lyrics about finding a camel or a bicycle or a limo and finding Pat (Where's Waldo... screw that! Find Pat!), you just want to scream "YOU HAVE THE MONEY! FIND ME, BITCH!"
1. Lindsay Lohan - Confessions Of A Broken Heart (Daughter To Father) *laughs* How overdramatic! Oh daddy! I love you! IIIIIIII looooooovvveee you! Why Lindsay Lohan decided to release, record or even write "Ode To A Convict" is beyond me, because it is without a doubt the worst song of 2005. Not bad for a song that really only had 2 months to register! The video is crap, the song is awful, and Lohan can't sing to save her life... it's everything I look for in naming crap. So thank you, Lindsay Lohan. Now shut up. Just, please... shut up.

Hi-freakin-llarious write ups. Although I'm appalled Lindsay beat out Hilary for worst of the year. 'Beat Of My Heart' is not music.

I agree with you on most of them, especially Jessica Simpson's "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'". I would have placed that a little higher. Also glad to see Carrie Underwood on there, since I can't stand it when Idol singles go #1 on the Hot 100 from all the downloads they get. You're right that "Stand Up For Love" was awful, but I thought Hilary's "Wake Up" was worse than "Beat Of My Heart."
