Here's a music meme:

This is a list of the 50 Worst Songs of All Time, as put together by the hip magazine Blender. Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to bold the items that you actually like. This might be more embarrassing than you think.

Let me preface this, though, with the fact that I think this list is BULL. Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sounds Of Silence" is one of the best songs EVER. And it's not like, it's just me that thinks it, Simon & Garfunkel are beloved by everyone! That song was on Rolling Stone's geatest 500 songs list! Who are these people? If they HAD to put on a S & G song, why on earth why wouldn't they put on Feeling Groovy? Everyone knows that song is lame. But The Sound of Silence? That song's awesome, man.

And the rest of the list..... I dunno. I admit some of the songs, like Two Princes or Breakfast at Tiffany's are kinda mediocre, but do they deserve to be one of the 50 worst of all time? Over Mambo #5 and Who Let the Dogs Out? No way.

So anyway, here goes:

1. We Built This City ... Starship
