I loved The Night Chicago Died when I was a kid... really the first song I ever remember on the radio.
Legend has it that my husband and his State College roommates blasted "Build Me Up Buttercup" for hours to get back at unruly neighbors.
Love Garden Party.........
Love Airplane and the Starship......HATE....Built this city on Rock n Roll....talk about lazy terrible song, terrible lyrics from a band that created Miracles, Wooden Ships (paul with crosby and stills), and White Rabbit......I chalk it up to bad drugs, or bad alcohol terrible song.

There was probably a time when Ballroom Blitz would have topped your list. Just sayin'...
I think 67'. I remember a lot of my friends thought it was great but not me. That's quite a bit of trivia about his brother.
Remember watching that game live.
Me and my buddies have made huge compilations of horrible songs. Called the "Gem Collection" and we used to pop in the CD's when we would do road trips. One time we had the car packed with tailgate stuff as we were pulling into the big IM field lot. All three of us were jammed in the front seat and we got the strangest look by the person waving you through the lot as we had the windows down blasting Paul Anka's You're Having My Baby. We still laugh about it.
Disco produced some crap, but a lot of it was musically genius. If you look at Nile Rodgers alone, his imprint is still all over today's music 40 years later. And his band, Chic, had more musical skill than most bands we've ever heard.
Sweet Home Alabama - while I recognize that this is an all-time classic, it was ruined for me on a weekend rafting trip where our neighbors at the campground blasted it all night on a perpetual loop.

Fly Robin Fly by The Silver Convention
These lyrics were repeated over and over and over and over...
Fly Robin Fly
Fly Robin Fly
Fly Robin Fly
Up, up to the Sky
It hit no 1 on the Billboard Charts in '75. I was into disco/funk/dance music in the '70's and early '80's so I'm not a hater of the genre, but this was one of the worst songs ever that happened to become very popular.

Oh Sherrie by Steve Perry. Really, anything he sings puts me in an instant bad mood. Journey is rage-inducing for me.
I think the worst pop song I have ever heard was that song by Fergie about a child missing a blanket. Embarrassingly bad.
Can't Fight this Feeling by REO Speedwagon. They are right up there with Journey in my dislike.
More Than I Can Say by Leo Sayer. For the love of god man, grow a sack!

You're probably thinking of Charlie Daniels, Legend of Woolly Swamp, not Amos Moses by Jerry Reed.
Worst ever is Muskrat Love. Hands down.

When I was in school, there was a feature on State College radio called "bad oldies". The one I remember went "I fell in love with a Siamese-twin. Our love is tearing me apart. I wish it would them. "
Ricky Bell the USC and Tampa Bay running back who die young of heart failure was Archie Bell's brother. So "tighten-up".
Middle lyrics to Sugar Town by Nancy Sinatra (written by Lee Hazelwood)
I never had a dog who liked me some
I never had a friend or wanted one
So I just lay back and laugh at the Sun
Cause I'm in shu, shu, shu
Shu, shu,shu
Shu, shu, shu, shu, shu, shu Sugar Town
Yesterday it rained in Tennessee
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee
But not a drop fell on little ole me
Cause I'm in shu, shu,shu
Shu, shu, shu
Shu, shu, shu, shu, shu, shu Sugar Town

KXZL in San Antonio used to play this song constantly....along with Billy Thorpe's "Children Of The Sun"
What? There are some good songs on that list.....Hotel California is one of my all time favorites. Born in the USA, Piano Man, Margaritaville are all good tunes.
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no
"Oh No" is right. Great lyrics....if you took about three too many bong hits.
Bite your tongue - Holly Jolly Christmas is an all-timer
Amazing tie in is that the writer/performer of this song, Rupert Holmes, is the same guy who had a hit with the cannibalism song, Timothy, which I had never heard of. I researched the latter song and it's got an hilarious backstory. Holmes' group had some sort of 1 single deal - not even a record deal. They had to make it count. His thought was that if he wrote a song that would get banned from the radio, they'd get noticed - along the lines of any publicity is good publicity. To their surprise the song was a hit anyway.
