feel free to choose more than 1, VH1 showed this last week, which would you say is the worst (or at least the worst 3) of VH1's list

I watched this special, and I usually disagree with these "lists" VH1 and Blender come up with, but I think most of these selections are drop-dead accurate.

I only disagree with three of the choices presented here.

"The Heart Of Rock And Roll" by Huey Lewis And The News, though certainly far from being one of the best songs of all time, was a decent feel-good '80s song with a great hook.

I also don't think "Don't Worry, Be Happy" should be up there (though McFerrin, himself, might disagree with me). Sure, its overexposure got annoying as hell in the late '80s, but it's not a bad song. Bobby McFerrin is one hell of a talented musician, and it's a shame he doesn't get the credit he deserves in the mainstream music industry.

"Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the Crash Test Dummies is silly, but it was meant to be silly. Pretty catchy, to boot.

I wonder if this song was actually a petition to everyone who doesn't like him that he's sorry that all his hype from winning AI hadn't died down yet by Dec 31, 2003, so he's sorry for having us have to listen to him this year too

For my taste, "The Heart of Rock N' Roll" is one of the worst songs of all time. I CANNOT stand Huey Lewis and The News.
