"Let's Hunt & Kill Billy Ray Cyrus"

The very readable Vince Keenan points out that Blender magazine's top ten worst songs ever (as previewed in MSNBC) has no songs by Michael Bolton. It can't possibly be right. “We Built This City” is number 1.

Blender describes 1985’s “We Built This City” as “the truly horrible sound of a band taking the corporate dollar while sneering at those who take the corporate dollar.”

You know it might just be me, but that describes every single song done by Bon Jovi. And Offspring. And Linkin Park. And, well, any of those "nĂ¼-metal" bands that have shouty american kids going on about how their life sucks when you know that the hardest thing they've ever had to put up with is Daddy not lending them the SUV for the weekend.

For those of you who recognise the title of this post you can find some goodies here.
