Try “Space Ace” from Peter Criss’ last solo album.

This is definitely the worst song I've ever heard by a "professional" musician. All of Peter's output has been absolutely laughable, but the mawkish, cloying sentimentality of this song makes it puke inducing as well as making you wish for early onset deafness.

I got this CD because it had a Rolling Stones ripoff that I though was pretty good. He should have stuck with this sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUiiH4ZN9Vk

It sounds like a parody.

There was a thread a little while back about "real songs that sound like they could be Spinal Tap songs" and I nominated this one.

The video makes it all worse too with the band on the road, acting like big rock stars, mugging for the camera backstage, etc...

If you took all the songs named in this thread (minus the Peter Criss songs and save the weak) you would have a pretty good playlist.

These are the worst songs you've EVER heard???? In your entire Life????

If it was actual bad songs (like the Peter Criss song I posted) not “brilliant and massively popular songs I’m just sick of because they’re overplayed, or I’m trying to be an edgelord by pretending I don’t like popular stuff” then this thread would be much funnier.

Come on, post some terrible songs!

Beatles : Hold Me Tight. One of the handful of bad songs they released.

Paul’s high vocals are like a cat on a fence, they can’t agree if the lyrics are “now hold me tight” or “so hold me tight” and each time Paul and John sing it differently.

A rare swing and miss by the Beatles.

The other ones being the godawful covers of Dizzy Miss Lizzy and Mr Moonlight.

Am I crazy, or are the first lines trying to be Floyd's "Brain Damage", but through the lens of a slowed down Ramsey Roxx??

Incompetent music by amateurs is just nonsense to be ignored.

Crazy Crazy Nights is a cynical stab at popularity and money, just done to ape Bon Jovi, and a full repudiation of any edge, rock n roll, or commitment to artistry, by a band that had already created hundreds of songs and should have more integrity than that. A shameful embrace at mediocrity, inoffensive horseshit that is somehow far worse than the Robert Palmer ripoff "X in Sex" due to the fact that that one at least had some sex in it. Equally bad would be the Michael Bolton inspired and penned "Forever", but that one stung far less, as CCN had at least been a bridge too far for me, and caused me to give this band and my fandom to it the heave ho.

if you like either, I dont want to exaggerate or give in to any hyperbole, but you're a limp dick piece of shit who should be forced to wear a frilly pink pinafore. And worse than Hitler.

So yeah, that's a little bit worse than the latest incompetent Stonebreed song with 17 listens on Spotify.

I found those songs to be more satisfying….but in a narrower way.
