WORST NUMBER 1 HIT of the LATE 1970s? (Part 2)

[NightTrain]

Just how bad was the mass-appeal music of the late '70s? So bad, I'm going to have to create three--count 'em, THREE!--polls to cover all the #1 hits that deserve inclusion. And even at that, I may have to leave a few songs out.

Christ, no wonder punk happened!

[MrSlayer]

1. Man they are all so horrible......

But I went with "You light up my Life". Such drivel.

[dolo amber]

5. God, me too

I didn't even look further than that one...something about the way she sings...and the lyrics...and it's like, a love song to Jesus or something....TOTALLY CREEPY. :scared:

Also, "Boogie Oogie Oogie" and "Hot Child in the City" both so totally remind me of wearing satin jogging shorts and roller skates and thinking I was like, THE hottest thing ever. At age 11. :D:D

[Systematic Chaos]

2. Yeah, it's true that there were some horrible songs from the late 70's

but out of everything on your list, I would rather have to listen to all of these songs than a single effort by almost any "top-40" artist of today. The machine of mediocrity was merely rumbling to life back then. Nowadays it's in hyperdrive.

3. Neither the Meco song or Taste of honey suck.

I suggest you redo your poll.

[NightTrain]

6. Can't re-do the poll. "Boogie Oogie Oogie" already got a vote!

As for the Meco song, I must disagree about it not sucking. Sorry! :shrug:

4. Light Up My Life is the worst song of all time, BUT I voted for Anne

Murray--what a bitch!

The song is awful--true, not as bad as the others--but there are too damn many people who think it's a good song. Besides, it won so many fucking grammys!

[Quixote1818]

7. I liked that song and don't know anyone who didn't.

[NightTrain]

8. Well, now you do!

:evilgrin:

[Turbineguy]

9. You Light up my Life

Sung in falsetto at the funeral for someone you detested when living.

[Norbert]

10. Da Doo Wrong Wrong

got my vote.

[Kat45]

11. Again, I can't make a decision.

And fortnately, I don't remember a couple of them.
