Blender magazine has named Starship's (nee Jefferson Starship, nee Jefferson Airplane) the band's "We Built This City" as the worst song ever.


I have to agree. I always felt slightly nauseated by this song which, disregarding the hideous melody, has no counterpoint. I truly hate that song, and back then could never understand why it was top of the chart for so long (back then I was too young and naive to understand how the charts were rigged).


Tunes on the "50 Worst Songs Ever!" list were selected for their melodies, others "are wretchedly performed" and "quite a few don't make sense whatsoever," the magazine said.


Blender describes 1985's "We Built This City" as "the truly horrible sound of a band taking the corporate dollar while sneering at those who take the corporate dollar."


"Achy Breaky Heart," Billy Ray Cyrus and "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" Wang Chung were runners up.
