'We Built This City' ranks as the worst record ever
Starship's 1985 hit "WE BUILT THIS CITY" dubbed "the single worst single ever constructed."
From Yahoo! News- USA TODAY, "We Built This City is the single worst single ever constructed, according to Blender's ranking of reeking tunes. The magazine's list of 'The 50 Worst Songs Ever,' which hits newsstands Tuesday in New York and Los Angeles and April 27 nationwide, distills the lamest popular rock-era records into one sonic landfill.
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.'"
