8. Have We Forgotten
Just when you thought the right-wing country music industry couldn't come up with anything more odious than God Bless The USA, Daryl Worley comes along with something even worse, badly written, badly sung, and sounds like it was produced from start to finish by the Propaganda Committee of the Republican Party.

9. I *would* have picked "Final Countdown"
but "Arrested Development" using it for Gob's stage music (and cell phone ringtone!) has polished that turd into comedy gold.

I picked "We Built This City."

10. Otro-- "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphy
WILDFIRE

Larry Cansler

4:47
She comes down from Yellow Mountain,
On the dark flat land she rides,
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side,
On a Cold Nebraska night

They say she died one winter,
When there came a killing frost,
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down his stall.
In a blizzard he was lost
She went callin' Wildfire.

By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow.
There's been a hoot owl howlin' by my window now
For six nights in a row.
She's comin' for me I know
And on Wildfire we both will go,
Callin' Wildfire.

On Wildfire, we're bound to ride
Going to leave sodbustin' behind
Get the hard times right on out of our minds,
Riding Wildfire

15. "We Built This City" - I'm convinced it's the worst song of all time.
You have a line in the song about not wanting to play "corporate games"...in a song that's one of the most corporate, soulless songs ever created. And...a radio helicopter thing at one point!! This is the song that pretty much sent Grace Slick into retirement...and who can blame her?

"We Built This City" is the worst song of all time.

19. I chose their number 2 for mine
Achy Breaky Heart, oh god, the gym teachers in elementary school played the worst music ever, we did the stupidest stuff in Gym way back then, like carpet basketball, damnit if I am gonna play b-ball, I wanna play b-ball not carpet ball.
