	Informer is quality. I don't care what VH1 says. What do they know about music.

	adal:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:06 GMT	46 points
	Of the ones on the list I know, I wouldn't classify many as awesomely bad, and quite a few as pretty good. Does that mean there's something wrong with me or with VH1?

	JoeGrzzly:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:07 GMT	9 points
	I was expecting more rap music.

	TheCalvinator:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:09 GMT	32 points
	whats up is a quality song as well as two princes.

	magister:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:10 GMT	-3 points
	@NJScouser: No doubt. "12 Inches Of Snow" was a great record for middle school.

	biggers:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:13 GMT	47 points
	I'm too sexy for this quiz

	RonBurgundy:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:13 GMT	29 points
	The hardest part of this quiz was figuring out how to spell Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.

	ShepherdBook:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:14 GMT	12 points
	15/50...should I be mad at myself for missing 35, or for getting 15?

	Pat423:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:14 GMT	0 points
	I used to love Achy Breaky Heart as a kid...lol

	Jaspers:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:17 GMT	80 points
	Britney Spears has to have at least 50 songs, but she doesn't even appear once. What's up with that?

	callmethor:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:17 GMT	33 points
	The only thing I could think of to try for R. Kelly was Piss On You

	terpfan417:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:21 GMT	25 points
	Breakfast at Tiffany's isnt that bad is it?

	sub:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:23 GMT	25 points
	I celebrate Michael Bolton's entire catalog

	justagirl:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:26 GMT	19 points
	This list has no credibility without LFO - Summer Girls

	darrenthedude:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:28 GMT	22 points
	Does "Rollin'" really come before "Nookie"? Or for that matter, "Break Stuff"?

	Lucy:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:38 GMT	13 points
	Weird list....most of them are pretty inoffensive, and some of them I can't even remember...Will 2K????

	Plussios:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:44 GMT	-1 points
	I was expecting to see Sex Bomb (Tom Jones) on the list.

	rockgolf:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:47 GMT	29 points
	For Crash Test Dummies, I just kept hitting "M" until the answer appeared.

	CharlieBrown:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:48 GMT	4 points
	This list was just compiled by Blender and VH1 just made a countdown out of it. I think.

	schporcle:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:49 GMT	37 points
	I like how at least 3 of these songs (Rick Astley, Billy Joel, Meatloaf) have Sporcle quizzes devoted to them. They can't be that bad, right?

	aerodynamic:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:54 GMT	12 points
	For some reason I imagine the chorus of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" breaking out in the 7th harry potter movie part 2 during the transition between the last chapter and the epilogue. It wouldn't make any sense, but it would be hilarious.

	bean:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:55 GMT	5 points
	Limp Bizkit's discography could make this list. In the words of the wise, lyrical Fred Durst: "Who's next in line to get F***ED UP??"

	sebastianknight:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:58 GMT	3 points
	It would be nice if "The Heart of Rock n Roll" were acceptable as an answer.

	Slugma:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:04 GMT	3 points
	I watched this vh1 list show like 5 times about 8 years ago and I still only got 18 of them :(

Comment below threshold: show it

	caligal14:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:07 GMT	13 points
	I feel guilty for liking several of these songs... am I a bad person?

	GoldenBo:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:10 GMT	22 points
	Thanks for causing a William Hung flashback Sporcle.

	punniker:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:17 GMT	17 points
	Toby Keith can drive his ford truck off a cliff

	Zack_Morris:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:19 GMT	5 points
	Not enough time. I eventually would have gotten Will2k and rollin, but didn't have enough time to guess every crappy Limp Bizkit and Will Smith single from around that time. On further reflection, Will2k was really the only crappy Will Smith single so I really should have gotten that one.

	mjenks:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:25 GMT	-3 points
	I have a feeling number 24 is going to show up eventually on the "most often misspelled answer" list.

	maniacalclown:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:27 GMT	4 points
	I feel dirty for getting 25 of those. So, so dirty.

	fatbeard:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:35 GMT	13 points
	It's a good idea for a quiz, and it was executed well, but this is just a stupid quiz. I mean yes, some of these songs are truly just horrible (Party all the time, Barbie Song, Jenny From the Block, etc.) but a number of these songs are at least decent, and a few are actually good. I mean, Never Gonna Give You Up has become a joke, but it's not a bad song per se, just a weird one (especially considering the video for it). I'll Be Missing You is actually quite a moving song written about losing your best friend, and a lot of these were just cliches of their time. But no, I don't think it's fair to say The Final Countdown is one of the 20 most awesomely bad songs ever.

	mattycakes345:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:42 GMT	23 points
	How the hell is Billy Joel on there!!! and dont worry be happy? these arent horrible songs, I can name 50 crappier ones in an instant!

	JohnJF:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:44 GMT	8 points
	@fatbeard: I remember when VH1 aired this, and their main objecting to "I'll Be Missing You" wasn't the song itself but its over-dependence on sampling Every Breath You Take (even going so far as having similar chorus lyrical patterns). I do, however, agree that it shouldn't be on the list--while it isn't a great song, the only real reason to hate it is because it was so popular. If the song went nowhere it wouldn't be on the list.
