UNAcclaimed Music!

Post by StevieFan13 »

Someone suggested this a while ago. I might do it, and I might not, and if I do, I may try and keep to some of the same regulations that Henrik uses for the good songs. Meaning:
- No genre lists from non-genre sources
- No viewer/listener polls (so I sadly can't count Dave Barry's famous Worst Song Survey)
- Hell, I just might not use genre lists unless someone brings them to my attention.
- For now, no year-end lists.
- Only songs for now
That's basically it. I'm a little more lax, and again, this may or may not happen (I have another themed idea I might want to peruse that's more in the realm of good music), but for now I'm just gathering lists. Feel free to bring some to my attention if I haven't seen them before.
These include:
- VH1's 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever (https://www.discogs.com/lists/VH1s-50-M ... er-/135428)

- Turf Showtimes - 100 Worst Rock Songs of All Time (http://www.turfshowtimes.com/2015/3/26/ ... f-all-time) - technically, if I was following Henrik's rules to the letter, this would be ineligible, but I don't really consider rock a genre and again, I'm already playing it fast and loose
- NME - 32 of the Very Worst UK No. 1 Singles of All Time (http://www.nme.com/photos/32-of-the-ver ... me-1407805)

- Spinditty - The Top 50 Most Annoying Songs of the '70s (https://spinditty.com/playlists/The-50- ... -the-1970s)

I'm debating whether or not I'll include the CoS worst No. 1 Rock/Pop/Rap songs (I already included the UK no. 1 list, but that's more general).

Spin Magazine had a few bad lists.

I think one of them was the AOL list, but what the hey. I don't know if they are still active.

Seems like a funny idea though.

I like this idea. I think it would be a good addition to my project too, since it would drop polarizing songs lower.
