    The Eurovision has too many entries under this title. I mean Finland year upon year produces terrible songs. But last years Russian number and winner is so hilariously camp and overdramatic but what kills it for me is the retired fat iceskater in the middle:

    Also, Greece had this most terrible of entries sung by butterface lady:

    I think this means rock is officially dead.

    It's been on a feeding tube/dialysis/iron lung/respirator for years now but I'm pretty sure that just did it.

    If shitty bands making stupid songs could kill rock it would have died back in the 80s.

    I mean, it's nice seeing total delusion in a music video.

    It's not just shitty it's uber-conservative.

    Rock is (was?) music with its origins in rebellion and iconoclasm. When a genre that gave us the Stones, Jim Morrison, hell, even ozzy fuckin osbourne starts having songs in it that say things like "Cheney was right! Rummy was right!" "Do I hear a TAX CUT?" and singing a paean to a president who tried to push abstinence-only to the whole country, it is dead.

    I mean shit, rock and roll was invented by black people dude. And here we've got dittoheads doing it. It makes me want to weep.

    Of course, this barely qualifies as "rock". Maybe we can invent some "emergency genre" to shunt this off into before it kills us all.

    You'll love this quote from their site:
    It doesn't end there. Songs like “The List”, “Overruled” (about Liberal judges) and “Shut Up and Teach” give rock and roll a new slant on rebellion – and it’s called Conservatism.

    Anyway I promise you this isn't the first conservative band let alone the last. People will use anything to hock their beliefs out to as many people as possible.

    Also this band hasn't done shit in over a year, so they didn't succeed.

    I mean, just because Ann Coulter writes books doesn't mean literature is dead.

    You actually went to their website?

    And survived with your mind intact?

    And as far as rock being dead, I was joking...or at least half-joking.

    Scientific attempt to create the most annoying song ever

    It's pretty bad, but at least it's more musically creative than most of the stuff in this thread.

    Heard a little bit of this on NPR, but this is so much better than the "most wanted" song. I'm ok with bagpipe opera cowboy children's choir rap.

    A song that never fails to torment me for days on end everytime I hear it:

    what the hell was that crap? That made Shatner look almost good.

    The Moldy Peaches are the worst.

    They are fine as a band you sort of keep to yourself and enjoy but don't go recommending that shit to your friends.

    After Juno came out the local modern rock station played the hell out of their songs.

    Luckily they got so many complaints that I have not heard a single one again to this day.

    I mean they play Linkin Park at least once every hour, yet the Moldy Peaches still garnered more ire. They should feel terrible for being less listenable than Linkin Park.
