Thread Name: What is the worst song you ever heard?
Subject: RE: What is the worst song you ever heard?
Ther's no such thing as a "worst song". There are only songs that I don't like, a personal and subjective decision which does not affect the validity of the song in any way.

All songs are good to someone, even if only the songwriter, and who am I to say he/she is wrong. I have spent many frustrating hours trying to teach my son that music which is not to his taste is not automatically crap (his usual description, applied to many genres, from opera to 40s crooners, Cliff Richard, and Rolf Harris).

At last I have succeeded. He no longer makes these comments (in my hearing, at least), and I can have a good laugh by reminding him that many of Rolf's most ardent fans are younger than he is.
