The worst song of the '80s?
Blender's ranking of reeking tunes.
Starship's 1985 anthem, the runaway No. 1 stinker, seems to inspire the most virulent feelings of outrage, editor Craig Marks says. It purports to be anti-commercial but reeks of '80s corporate-rock commercialism.
It's a real reflection of what practically killed rock music in the '80s.
Also sealing the song's fate were Starship's steep fall from grace as the admired Jefferson Airplane and the sheer dumbness of the lyrics.
