Once again Starship has been scolded for their silly pseudo-political pop masterpiece "We Built This City", with Rolling Stone magazine's readers voting it the most heinous song of the most heinous decade, the eighties.
"This isn't the first time this happened to this song," RS notes. "In 2004 Blender [music magazine] named this song the Most Awesomely Bad Song of All Time. Certainly, there's a lot to hate about the song. Jefferson Airplane was a pretty great rock band in the 1960s. They came back in the 1980s as this sleek, corporate band named Starship with some guy named Mickey Thomas as one of their singers."
But with beloved lyricist Bernie Taupin on board as a contributing songwriter, "We Built This City" may be hokey but can it be the worst?!? How does it compare to the overall top ten? Vote for the eighties anthem that most sends you into a rage, the video for each of the top ten is included below, and we'll see if Starship soars to the top of the heap of crap yet again or prevails as a favorite!
