Even though he's not on the official Minion Calendar™ as an Evil Overlord, I always heed a call from Mr. Olsen. His latest missive said:
I would like to SEE ALL BLOGCRITICS make some kind of favorites list THIS WEEK. They are easy, fun, and will establish where your taste is coming from. THESE LISTS CAN BE ABOUT ANYTHING: favorite CDs of the year, favorite CDs all-time, favorite CDs by genre, by artist, by label, by shoe size, whatever. Your list can be MUSIC, BOOKS, DVD/VIDEO, TV, whatever...
Ah, but the fatal mistake was in giving me the "whatver" out clause. For while I am too busy to write much for Blogcritics with my NaNoWriMo silliness, I do have tons of lists.
The first one stems from an argument everyone with any circle of friends has had since Edison's "Mary Had A Little Lamb" was panned by critics as "too talky." Yes, it's the old Worst Songs Ever debate.
So, here--in no particular order--are the songs unanimously picked by the great minds at SolCritics™ as the worst of the worst, along with handy-dandy Amazon links for my favorite masochists (you know who you are--he said, as he gleefully looked up the links). Before you whine about the lack of rap and country songs, please go to my site for the rules.
April Wine - "Just Between You And Me"
Personal fave of Not-So-Red Menace
Barry Manilow - "I Write the Songs"
Truly, we had a hard time limiting ourselves to just one...
