This is quite possibly one of the hardest lists I have ever made.
From random rappers, to whiny emo brats, to just plain wtf is this crap??? In John's book what were the top 100 worst songs of the past 10 years?
Some entries may surprise, some omissions may surprise.

100. Vanessa Hudgens - Sneakernight
We kick off the countdown with High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens, and if this is what she's gonna bring forth alone, then she needs to get back on the Disney train because "basically what we're gonna do is dance..." um, that's about the whole song. The title is stupid, the lyrics are worse, come Vanessa, you are capable of SO MUCH BETTER!!!
99. Will Smith - Nod Ya Head
Oh no John's worst of chart would be complete without the guy who torchered me throughout the late 90s and early 00s. But this decade, stuff was so bad Will only makes 2 appearances and not that high really. But that's doesn't make him any better. The annoying voice, his attempt at a rap cliché with the NOD YA HEAD, I just wanna bonk my head and pass out for the rest of his career.
98. Uncle Kracker - Drift Away
This is one of those songs that was fine for the first 2 million times it got played, but when you gotta hear it multiple times a day for at least 3 years, it just saps the life out of you. To start off it wasn't as strong as Follow Me or even the cheesy current Smile, but to this day if this song is coming, I'm going!
97. Jive Jones - Me, Myself & I
What the...? Take someone with no ability, throw some high school wannabe emoish in there (before emo even hit mainstream), come up with a stupid name, a song that makes about as much sense as Paris Hilton teaching philosophy, and you get Jive Jones' much deserved flop. Luckily this song was gone faster than it came, but being from Miami, another tragedy that had to be dealt with in full force.
96. Lionel Richie - Just Go
No. Just no. Lionel Richie, famous for his pop and R&B gems made a 2nd attempt at a comeback this year becoming a fake reggaeman to regain appeal. Lionel, did you even listen to the finished product? I hope this isn't the beginning of mid-life crisis, because if that's the case, then I'm scared to see what will be offered next.

Never heard "Sneakernight", and I'm stunned you hate a Vanessa Hudgens song I guess it must be THAT bad if even a big HSM fan doesn't like it "Switch" was alright, but not one of his best. "Me, Myself and I" was alright too. "Drift Away" I really liked, but I can see how one wouldn't like it. "Just Go" was disappointing... can't believe someone as good as Lionel Richie would do a song like that.

None of these will ever be heard on my stereo.......(yeah, i have a ipod, but it only has the complete Motown singles series on and other Motown selections from 1959-1973 on it) If I made this list, it would contain almost every Billboard Hot 100 song from the past 10 years on it!!!!

95. Sean Paul - Get Busy
More like get annoying. Sean Paul makes 2 appearances on the list, and the lesser of the two evils is guilty of it's monotoneness, irritability, and completely unchanged throughout the entire song with the result of the only thing getting busy by the time it's over is the clerk at Walgreens selling tylenol.
94. William Hung - She Bangs
Ok originally I wasn't gonna put this on the countdown since the joke is pretty much done everywhere, but I'm sure I'd get an earful if this reject was replaced by others and yes there were many others to consider. Hung is basically the bad joke that stopped being funny after your senile uncle told it for the 4th time at your last gathering.
93. Toby Keith - Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Ok patriotic and pride for your country is fine, but when you practically come up with the redneck anthem, it just goes a bit far. Although I'm sure we've all considered shoving a boot up someone's ass at some point in our lifetime, but I think in this case it was a substitute line getting rif of the part about incest or something.
92. Kelly Osbourne - Papa Don't Preach
Before Kelly Osbourne won over America's hearts on Dancing with the Stars, she took a Madonna classic, and tossed the remains of her dad's half-eaten bat on it. Fortunately, Kelly has come to learn that even though she's a daddy's little girl, she doesn't need to follow his footsteps, and is steering away from this garbage.
91. Amanda Perez - Angel
Ok let's get this straight. Amanda Perez can't sing. It's about as exciting as an Al Gore speech, and left wishing that God would send an angel to take you away from this dribble once and for all. Still don't understand how this became a hit. Luckily she was last seen asking if some dude wanted fries with his burger.

Oh no you didn't!!!!
GOD SEND ME AN ANGEL FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE, SEND ME AN ANGEL TO HEAL MY BROKEN HEART FROM BEING IN LOVE. 'CAUSE ALL I DO-OOOH-OOHH IS CRY. GOD SEND ME AN ANGEL TO WIPE THE TEARS FROM MY EYES
NOW YOU HAD ME ON MY KNEES, BEGGING GOD PLEASE, TO SEND YOU BACK TO ME. I COULDN'T EAT, I COULDN'T SLEEP, AND YOU MADE ME FEEL LIKE I COULD NOT BREATHE. AND ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS FEEL YOUR TOUCH, AND TO GIVE YOU ALL OF MY LIFE. BUT YOU TOOK MY LOVE FOR GRANTED, WANT MY LOVIN' NOW BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE IT, OH GODDDD

"Get Busy" and "Papa Don't Preach" were both alright. Definitely agreed on the other three. William Hung should've been MUCH higher! What a no-talent hack, he never should've got a record deal in the first place. Amanda Perez I've pretty much found everything by boring. "Angel" is definitely no exception. Toby Keith has had some alright songs, but he should just NEVER do political songs, and that is one prime reason why!

I don't think William Hung was given a record deal based on his talent...

I'm not too upset to see anything that's on this list so far. Drift Away, Papa Don't Preach and Angel are passable, but I'm not overly fond of them either. The rest are either unknown to me, or definitely belong here (hello Sean Paul and William Hung!)

90. The Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go
Another one of those irritating vocal performances. The entire time when I hear this song, all I keep thinking to myself is ALRIGHT IF I LET YOU GO, WILL YOU SHUT THE F**K UP???
89. Fat Joe - What's Luv
Oh lord. Fat Joe is a joke, Ashanti is bland per usual, and Ja Rule is Ja Rule. Throw in an 80's sample and you've got a pure crap perfection here
88. Lou Bega - Tricky Tricky.
Well if Lou Bega was destined to be a one-hit wonder, this sure sealed his fate. After the catchy Mambo #5, the next release is one of the dumbest releases from 2000. Tirkcy Tricky is enough to make anyone get sicky sicky.
87. Ja Rule - Always on Time
Two things are guaranteed when you put Ja Rule and Ashanti together. #1 the finished product is going to annoy the hell out of everyone. And #2, it's gonna get mashed into your head from every media outlet until you come back swinging a sledgehammer. This was the beginning of that annoying trend. If you're upset to see them featured in 2 songs already, don't fear, their worst is yet to come!
86. Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams
I prefer to call this the "emo anthem." How the hell did this go to #1? Let's see we've got Billie Joe, married with children in his 30s whining as if he just finished puberty and how depressed he is cause he's so lonely. Give me a f*cking break. Overplayed, whiny, annoying, yeah you get the picture.

I like "Always On Time" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". "Tricky Tricky" and "What's Luv" were alright. Not fussed at all on "Shut Up And Let Me Go", wasn't a fan of it at all. I wouldn't be surprised if "Mesmerize" is much higher.

85. Nelly - Air Force OnesAgain... just no. When you're name dropping shoes in the title, you can tell right there it's gonna be bad (ie. see Vanessa Hudgens). Although Nelly has made some tolerable songs this decade, he does have 3 appearances on the chart and this is the first. 84. Kelis - MilkshakeAnother case of "this has got to be the stupidest song of the year." Once in a blue moon Kelis can carry a tune, but there's nothing tuneful, or tasty about this. If this is her milkshake, then it was left out in the sun for a few days too long as it's spoiled and sour. 83. Papa Roach - Last ResortOh god, another whiny pre-emo slit my wrists anthem. If you wanna know what is wrong with the emo genre, just listen to this garbage. If you wanna rock a little harder just go here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HQIcdGg63I Unfortunately, the band's arms didn't bleed and they're still making crappy music. 82. Mariah Carey - LoverboyMariah was amazing in the 90s with many of her albums becoming gems. Then along came Glitter, and let the downward spiral begin! It's hard to find words other than awful, annoying, etc... to describe this. And this isn't the last of Mariah we've seen on the countdown. 81. Will Smith - Will2kThis one was on the 1999/2000 cusp, but it's so terrible it had to make the list. Ringing in the millennium... uh... excuse me... willennium... was this irritating ego trip. This is one of those extremely bad songs that sounded like a good idea when you were beyond plastered at a New Year's Eve party, but once the hangover wears off and it's still being played, it's time to head back and bow down to the porcelain god! Uh Uh Uh indeed.

I liked "Milkshake", "Last Resort" and "Will 2K", and the other two were alright too; both artists have had better but they've had worse too.
