This could be the biggest blow-out victory in the history of the Rolling Stone Readers Poll. You really, really, really hate "We Built This City" by Starship. It crushed the competition. This isn't the first time this happened to this song. In 2004 Blender 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. This wasn't their only huge hit. They also scored with "Sara" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," from the soundtrack to Mannequin. To the Woodstock generation, their success in the 1980s just seemed like the final nail in the coffin of their youth. Bizarrely enough, Elton John lyricist Bernie Taupin is one of the co-writers of this song.

I couldnt agree more.

How did I miss this? :confused:

There were much worse songs than that in the 80s.

Amen to that, my vote goes to this piece of dreck:

Somehow their choice doesn't really surprise me. :crazy: :lol:

I'm sorry but "We Built this City" is NOT the worst song of the 1980s. So what if it sounds more like something you'd hear in a Burger King commercial at the time? I bet there are worse ones than that.

I can't agree more...

"We Built This City" is a dud, probably the worst song EVER!

There are a LOT worse junkier songs from the yuck 80s!!! :eek:
