This isn't a list of the worst songs of the 2000s.

Instead, it's a list of songs that weren't necessarily bad... but do necessarily reflect poorly on pop music tastes in this decade. Songs that we'll hear in the future and say "I can't believe that was popular", "I can't believe we liked that"... or, worse, "I can't believe I liked that." In many of these cases, we're saying those things already.

Think "Ice Ice Baby", "Achy Breaky Heart", "Mmm Bop" and "Girl on TV" from the '90s... sure, they're nostalgically kitschy now, but, last decade, for at least a moment, people legitimately appreciated them.

Here are 11 hits from this decade that we really, really ought to be ashamed of. And by we, of course, I mean America... I'm not specifically calling you out because I'm sure you listen to indie music that's so underground hip even the bands playing the songs haven't heard of themselves.

11. Miley Cyrus - "Party in the U.S.A." (2009)

10. Pussycat Dolls - "When I Grow Up" (2008)

9. T-Pain - "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" (2007)

8. Jennifer Lopez - "Jenny From the Block" (2002)

7. Paris Hilton - "Stars Are Blind" (2006)

6. James Blunt - "You're Beautiful" (2005)

5. Gwen Stefani - "Hollaback Girl" (2005)

4. Creed - "With Arms Wide Open" (2000)

3. Lady Gaga - "Poker Face" (2009)

2. Baja Men - "Who Let the Dogs Out?" (2000)

1. Black Eyed Peas - "My Humps" (2005)

Just barely missed the cut: Avril Lavigne, "Sk8ter Boi"; Nelly, "Air Force Ones"; Nickelback, "Photograph"; Nelly, "Grillz"; O-Town, "Liquid Dreams"; Akon, "Sorry, Blame It On Me"; Asher Roth, "I Love College"; Fall Out Boy, "Thnks Fr The Mmrs".

Honorable mention: Good Charlotte, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"; Jennifer Love Hewitt, "Barenaked"; Hurricane Chris, "A Bay Bay"; Enrique Iglesias, "Hero"; Ashlee Simpson, "Pieces of Me"; Sisqo, "Incomplete"; Soulja Boy, "Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)"; Amy Winehouse, "Rehab"; D4L, "Laffy Taffy"; Fergie, "Fergalicious"; MIMS, "This Is Why I'm Hot"; Destiny's Child, "Bootylicious"; The Darkness, "I Believe In A Thing Called Love"; Uncle Kracker, "Follow Me".

Wow. Hard to believe it's been nearly ten years since Who Let The Dogs Out.

I thought it was much longer.

Is it embarrassing that I like half (if not all) the songs on this list?

HuntingtonM15 · 12-18-2009, 04:22 PM

Miley's song should have been closer to the top of the list.
