♫ 2009
11.02 Peter Murphy {Teatro Gran Rex}

Just for fun. I still love every one of these artists to death, sometimes it's just fun to break free from the role of the obsessive fan girl.

1. List your top 10
2. Name the worst song of each artist and why.

10. Nico
Little Sister
It just drags on in an uninteresting folky sound without finding any clear hooks or doing her usually marvelously quirky voice any favors. Not hideous, but definitely her most lackluster song.

9. Santogold
Unstoppable
Stupidly halted pseudo-reggae sound mixed with the most annoyingly repetitive lyrics ever. I GOTTA BEH UNSTOPPABLE EH EH YAH DON'T LIE. I can't listen to two seconds of this, it's got to be one of the worst pieces of dreck I've ever heard.

8. Blondie
Maria
I really don't get why they did another album in 1999. All they did was add an entire album of filler to their discography. The entire album is so blah, especially this song.

7. The Beatles
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Obligatorily, I would have to go for this. Not quite as horrendous as some people make it out to be, but still pretty painful. I hear a few good hooks here and there, but they quickly get shot down by annoying quirks in the production or just its overall stupid sound.

6. Lady GaGa
Money Honey
I think everyone who thinks Lady GaGa is something different or that she's the next Freddie Mercury/Grace Jones/David Bowie/Andy Warhol/Madonna hybrid needs to hear this. It's the most cliche, idiotic song I've heard in a while. The hook is so simplistic and overused it just becomes tiresome, and the lyrics insult the listener's intelligence.

5. The Velvet Underground
European Song
This rockin' ditty would have been FINE if it wasn't about two and a half minutes worth of ideas stretched over almost ten minutes. I've never made it through the full thing and I don't think it will happen soon.

4. Queen
I'm In Love With My Car
Queen is always known for it's fun eccentricity, and with a silly song title such as this you'd expect it to live up to expectations. Instead, it's a droll, cliche rock song that really anyone could have done. It's not terrible by any means, but it's nothing special, which is especially notable for a Queen song.

3. Madonna
Did You Do It?
I don't know if it really qualifies as a Madonna song since it's mostly a boring rapper rolling off some of the most trashy (in a bad way) lines I've ever heard, but that's who it's credited to. Madonna does sing the hook, but it's so simple that it doesn't count as a saving grace at all. It really ruins Erotica, which is an otherwise excellent album.

2. Britney Spears
Get Naked (I Got A Plan)
For reasons that are beyond me, this song has become a fan favorite. I'm convinced I'm the only Britney fan who not only hates it, but can't even listen to it. The beat is good enough for about a minute, but it stays the same through almost five minutes. Danja is especially annoying, delivering unnecessary lines in a robotic monotone that can drive anyone crazy. Argh.

1. David Bowie (or really David Bowie & Mick Jagger)
Dancing in the Street
A lot of fans say their favorite artists "can do no wrong", and that includes Bowie fans. This song completely nixes that idea. I could tolerate his mid to late 80's work a lot better than most, but this song is so terrible. Very 80's in a God-awful way, including those inescapable horns and all. Mick delivers his lines in one of the most annoying ways imaginable, and Bowie just sounds bored. The only redeemable part is the so-stupid-it's-amazing intro. You know it. "SOUTH AMERICAAAAAAAAA!" Oh, and the video? Pssh, that shit's golden... of course, with the mute button.


So there ya go. If you disagree with anything, that's cool. To each his own.

Alright, so. I've decided I'm going to create this list of my top 100 songs of 2009. It's not according to my charts, not according to play count or anything like that, but according to how many times I've repeated certain songs in the car or had them trapped in my head or just feel like applauding before the year is over.

So before I babble my way into oblivion, here we goooooo!
