I like Lady in Red... nice romantic song with good vocals... why would anyone choose it as the number one worst song?

I also own a few of Europe's records......some good melodic hair/rock on those

I quite like 'I'd Rather Jack' despite its naffness.

It would be interesting to see an expanded list though.

Walk of Life is an odd choice for worst song. Im indifferent to the song. I would think thye would have chosen Money For Nothing if that was just a diss to Dire STraits

That was the one that stood out for me as well. Sure, the song sucks but there are thousands far more qualified for the list.

Kudos to you sir for keeping up this act of being a complete dipshit for so long. Sincere apologies if you're being serious.

They should have picked Footloose instead of Danger Zone. Can't stand that damn song and I've had to suffer through it almost every single day at work for the past freakin' five years.
