Here is a fun game I just thought of. What is the best and worst song of a singer or band. Since everyone is biased on this I might add it might really be more like what is your favorite and least favorite. I'll do ones that I think. They probably will mostly come from the 70's and decrease in number for each succeeding decade as music makes its inexorable slide to rap music. Singers/bands are in order of how they pop in my head.
The Beatles. Best: Penny Lane - Delightful son.
Worst: Number 9 Dream. Or titled something like that. I think its from their white album. A collection of sound effects that goes on for a long time, but however long it goes, it seems like a lot more.
Rolling Stones. Best: Get off my Cloud.
Worst: I Can't Get No Satisfaction. This song was voted best rock song ever by experts. Those experts were apparently stupid. Its awful. "I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no, satisfaction, but I try and I try and I try and I try, I can't get no. I can't get no. No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey. That's what I say." Seriously. That's the chorus. Bad, bad, bad.
Jackson Five. Best: ABC. What a fun song. And educational.
Worst: Ben. A song about a rat. Seriously.
Dianna Ross. Best: You Can't Hurry Love. I've just noticed all my bests are cute songs. What's wrong with that? Music should make you happy.
Worst: Endless Love. Endless song.
Neil Diamond. Best: Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show.
Worst: Play Me. Ugh.
Elton John. Best: Levon
Worst: Shut up. There are no bad Elton John songs.
Billy Joel. Best: My Life. It was the theme to I think the first thing Tom Hanks ever did - Bosom Buddies.
Worst: Allentown. Depressing.
John Denver. Best: I'm Sorry.
Worst: Calypso. A song about a boat. Appropriately I get nauseous when I hear it. Maybe he should have renamed Calypso as I'm Sorry. Zing.
That is enough for now. What a fun game. We'll have to do that again.
