This is a dangerous, dangerous topic, and I have to admit that Little Hawk set the bar veeerrryyy high 'way back in 2000 when he started this whole thing with Dan Hill....yeeesh.

That said, I 2nd his nomination, but feel constrained to add that amongst those who've posted it's hard to think of one REALLY EXECRABLE song that's been missed...the '70s are hands-down the most offendind decade in the history of mankind in this regard, I mean, what can you say about an era that gave us

Captain & Tennille
Donny & Marie
Paul Anka
TONY ORLANDO & DAAAWWWNNN....(oh, my head hurts)
Barry Manilow

Need I go on EXCEPT to add the following:

"It Must Be Him" by Vikki Carr

Oh, yes, and all those dead sweetheart songs
"Patches, "Tell Laura I LOve Her" and "Teen Angel".....

Diabolical.
