True, the likelihood of hearing the song while sitting in a dentist's chair is a factor too often neglected.

also the val vigoda thing is jawdroppingly bad but also not from 2017. the playlist is throwing up some excellent vintage bad music

Ok, given the admonishment above about worst song on this list (no lifetime achievement awards), these are pretty horrifying.
Love Me Tinder, Prozzak
young and menace, Fall Out Boy
waterfall, stargate

I liked the Chance The Rapper and Cigarettes After Sex tracks. still tempted to dish out a lifetime achievement award.

This Fall Out Boy song...doesn't seem real. Like, it doesn't seem like a real song someone could have actually made and released and thought was okay. Even some of the egregiously bad ones I kind of "get" what they're going for or they're kind of novel/stunty in a cringeworthy way, but have issued forth from a reality I recognize.

you've correctly identified why it's good

"Body Like A Backroad" came on the other day while I stood in line at a department store, waiting for the cashier to finish helping the guy in front of me, who was trying to return shoes without a receipt. Ruined my entire fucking week.

okay, I'm trying not to fall down a rabbit hole where I listen to all the songs I've never heard before and gripe about how uniformly terrible they are, but... surely Qveen Herby's "Busta Rhymes" deserves some special demerit for thinking this:

Can’t keep me in a cage, no canary
Got a lot I wanna say, a library

... is something that would fly in 20-goddamn-17

Proclaim my greatness... emancipation
Que voulez-vous dire?... bad translation

Strip That Down fills me with a rage i forgot i could feel towards pop music

Gotta disagree re: "Body Like A Back Road." It's such a fun, catchy bro-country track. Really well-produced too, with all the tasty organ and pedal steel licks careening in and out of the mix. And the "ay! ay! ay!s" keeping it hype, but mixed tastefully low. I feel sorry for anyone who can't enjoy it.

Fuck "Shape of You" tho.

eh, i kinda hate body like a back road, fuck "bro-country"

maura, Friday, 19 January 2018 05:54 (six years ago) link

eh, i am not proud i like that puth track but it clicked for me somehow. his he-man woman hating is not making it any easier, i'll agree there.

Yeah pills is pretty bad, it's like some willy wonka shit. But it does have that scorching Floyd part at the end

kolakube (Ross), Friday, 19 January 2018 15:49 (six years ago) link

yeah I like the Puth song, castle on the hill, something just like this (lol @ me but dang did it sound good banging at a Yokohama fireworks show this summer), the TayTays, Harry Styles, Maroon 5, Miley.
