I actually like most of the "bad songs" on that list. And if you go
down to the voting list, there are songs that are my favorite song by
that artist. The best example would be D'yer Maker, by Zepplin. i
LOVE that song. As soon as I saw that on there, what little
objectivity I was going for in looking at the article and went out
the window.
The only Police song I would call "bad" is (going to get the title
because I skip it everytime I listen).... A Kind of Loving. Of the
rest, there are songs I love and songs I don't, but even the "worst"
Police song I find to better than some of the other artists' "best"
songs.
