Ok. Some of these songs I do not agree with but what can I do? I didn't produce this list. I just copied it. If anyone disagrees with any of these songs, like I do, please feel free to post something. More to come..More to come...
I don't particularly disagree with these three, but I will confess finding guilty pleasure in I'll Be There For You, We Didn't Start the Fire, and Two Princes.
Other than that, though, I think most of these are dead-on. I would be pretty happy to never hear most of these songs again. The funny thing, though, is that VH1 probably creamed their jeans over most of these songs when they first came out - it's only now that they have the perspective to call them "awesomely bad."
I think a good half of everything beloved on MTV and VH1 is awesomely bad - it's fun to hear one of them partially admit to their poor taste. I'm betting they didn't mention their initial excitement over these songs during the broadcast, though. My guilty pleasures are "We didn't start the fire" and "The Final Countdown".
I remember when "Butterfly" was huge because at the time I was on a class trip in Britain and whenever we were on a bus going from one place to another there was a short, busty hottie named Jessica who would listen to nothing but that song on her discman and wiggle her body to the song in exciting ways. It was my staple pleasure in that dreary, tiny nation*.
* But hey, they've got castles.
I'd have been pretty mad if they put "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls on here. That song rules. :-)
