1. The song has to have been released in 2008. This works from any country.
2. You can post an artist if you can't pin point a certain bad song.
3. Any artist. Any song.
I'm assuming that rule three follows the Laws of Robotics format: "unless it contradicts the first rule"

Anything by 'Scouting for Girls', closely followed by 'The Feeling'.

ok:

Slipknot's last album took a donkey into its mouth and lovingly felated it

Earth to the Dandy Warhols was "ok", by which I mean solid and listenable until compared to 13 tales.

"Nothing Sweet about a drunken 17 year old whore at a nationally televised awards show" by Cilmy who's first name I dont remember

Dear ms Perry:
Kissing girls when you too are a girl doesn't make you special, stop pretending it does

"Take Me on The Floor because im going to blow you while my sister watches" by The Veronic-whores

All summer long by kid rock is atleast alright. So not all of the top 100 should be burned in the fires of hell.

Oh no, There needs to be more room so all those fans can burn with them.(Quite a lot of bands that have huge fan masses that will do anything to meet them.)
Um... "All Summer Long" is my vote for Worst Song of 2008, and I won't bother explaining it

This video breaks down exactly why, better than I could.

A new form of auditory cancer indeed.

It's pretty shameless, and I really hate him because everytime that goddamn song starts I think I'm going to be hearing Werewolves of London, because he outright STEALS Warren Zevon's piano lead up. Jackass.

Theres always gonna be craptacular songs every year, but foremost among the crop released THIS year, I would say...

- Lollipop by Lil Wayne
- Raising McCain by John Rich
- Womanizer by Britney Spears
- Everything from the new High School Musical film.
- Everything Soulja Boy did and all future things he will do.
second that

Also, this band has gone unrecognized long enough!

They're amazing, but they got overshadowed by soulja boy. WTF?

EDIT: warning, this is folk black metal. If you're not into that, opinions may very.

I quite like their new album, even if it is a departure from the sound that made me love them in the first place.

I wholeheartedly agree with the Katy Perry comment though.

Insert current top 100, for the last 60 years.
Maybe all of the escapist hates mainstream, but I don't care, I think most music is shit!
Most recent music is.
I hate it when people say this. Just because mainstream music is crap doesn't mean you can tar all recent music with the same brush. Try listening to different genres and stuff outside of your normal comfort zone. If not then at least try listening to a mix of new bands rather than judging modern music by the tripe they play on the radio.

Because I feel I should lay my cards on the table.

Miley Cirus. You are NOT Avril Lavenge. STOP TRYING TO BE!
Alphabeat - Boyfriend. Great band. Shite song. Rips off Moose T Horny of all songs.
Anything Dance or Drum & Bass that isn't Eric Prydz or Pendulum. Only they can do them.
Scooter - Jumping All Over The World. Horrible, Horrible, Horrible
Nickelback - Rockstar. The official anthem of Satan himself.

Great suggesstions by the way, folks. Still a way to go though.

Agreed about miley cyrus although avril hasnt been doing well herself.
Pretty much most of the top few songs are crap, radiohead is awesome as usual, broken social scene check.
Oh yeah! THAT GODDAM BOND SONG FROM QUANTUM OF SOLACE... srsly, wtf alicia keys... why do you have to go bang bang bang bang at the end..

Avril's no Joan Jett, herself. But I won't derail.

You know, I'm not very good in this thread because I honestly don't remember the last time I've kept myself current with the songs of the year unless I already liked the artist. I guess I don't do the radio thing enough. But I've heard from you guys that Nickleback is actually still making music, so they're a safe bet to go with. I haven't heard the song, but I'm guessing it's pretty horrible.

Hmmm, yeah, not really as good as "You know my name"
