| Lol - In April 2004, this song was listed as "the #1 Worst Song Ever" by Blender magazine. But it was a No 1 Smash in 1986. The Blender ranking of the song as the worst song ever was in conjunction with a VH1 Special of The 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs...Ever. In order to qualify for the distinction, the songs on the list had to be a popular hit at some point, thus disqualifying many songs that would by general consensus be considered much worse.

It's a real reflection of what practically killed rock music in the '80s. |
