    The "boy band" argument doesn't hold up in this context I'm afraid, The Beatles and The Kinks may have been considered boy bands at the time but it's completely different to the manufactured, highly marketed boy bands of the past 20 years. If you want to compare Revolver or Magical Mystery Tour to the latest One Direction album, you're not going to get too many people who argree with you.

    As for "a far cry from the genius of queen or piink floyd"? Jesus wept.

    Boy bands are boy bands, whatever era they were in, and bad and all as one direction are I find their music on a par with the nonsense the beatles produced

    Pink floyd and Queen werent genius music makers??? You'll find plenty to disagree with you on that as well

    Actually kinda catchy!

    Beyonce's songs are usually horrible to listen to as there is no melody in them, Single Ladies being a prime example.

    Nicki Minaj - Anaconda is ****ing disgraceful in how it sounds and what it represents; lowest common denominator production for maximum profit. She needs to get with a Chris Brown kind of boyfriend.

    Aww man The Shaggs. I love the backstory of the band where their grandmother had some sort of vision where the girls came famous musicians. Their dad then basically forced them to form a band despite neither of them having any musical abilities whatsoever.

    When I hit rock bottom I thought "Why me?"

    anything involving Kanye West should only be used as a weapon like pepper spray or mustard gas

    If we're compiling a list of worst songs ever, this one has not a single redeeming factor. It only exists because one of the girl's dads was a record exec.

    The original Bob Dylan version is a classic though. Always brings me back to the summer of '69 when I first heard it. It sparked my interest in the civil rights movement back then. 'Sitting in the back seat' is a reference to Rosa Parkes. He had a way with words did Bob.

    You're welcome. It's quiet a rare track and not as well know as his bigger hits. As with most Dylan songs there is some controversy as to the meaning of the lyrics.

    There's something really eerie about that song - why's he saying goodbye to everyone? :(

    Re: Pink Floyd V's The Beatles. The Beatles were craftsmen and their song writing skills and collective sound were and are untouchable. Anyone who compares them to a boy band is either musically illiterate or hasn't bothered to listen to their albums.

    Pink Floyd (who I also love) were vibe merchants. Queen (who I like, but a little less) have stated lots of times how big an influence The Beatles were on them! Know your musical history!

    Anyway, on topic, none of you were watching The Late Late Show last night, or you wouldn't have overlooked what is the worst song ever. I think I find it particularly cringey as they are grown adults, not naive young ones. The inane message was sung with admirable enthusiasm it has to be said! The 'wild' chorus kicks in at about 50 seconds if you want a treat! :-)
