Top 10 Worst Songs of the 2010s

Too much positivity on this blog so far! Here's a healthy dose of songs I loathe.

Not all of these are objectively the worst things ever (though I would argue some of them are...ok, maybe most of them), but I despise them all for various reasons. Remember, these are just my opinions, and I don't think any less of you as a person if you enjoy one or more of these.

I'm not reviewing these, but on a few I'll provide a bit of explanation.

Enjoy, or hate.



Honorable Mention: Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Phonat Remix)

10. Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars  ||  Released 2014  ||  Dance Pop  || ... the point I started to hate modern Coldplay. I'm a huge apologist against snobs who take shots at their earlier stuff, and even Mylo, but I can't stand this song.

9. LMFAO - Sorry for Party Rocking  ||  Released 2012  ||  Electro House

8. Eminem - Chloraseptic  ||  Released 2017  ||  Pop Rap

7. Tom MacDonald - Whiteboy  ||  Released 2018  ||  Political Hip Hop  || ... sensitive much? WHITE...BOY. WHITE...BOY.

6. Hugh Jackman & The Greatest Showman Ensemble - A Million Dreams ||  Released 2017  ||  Film Soundtrack  || ... vapid, falsely sincere, generic, annoying. 

5. Lil Dicky - Earth  ||  Released 2019  ||  Comedy Rap

4. Ylvis - The Fox  ||  Released 2013  ||  Novelty

3. 93PUNX - It's a Bad Dream  ||  Released 2019  ||  Emo Rap  || ...if only it was...if only it was...

2. Walk the Moon - Shut Up + Dance  ||  Released 2014  ||  Alternative Dance  || ... the worst kind of earworm. Makes me physically grind my teeth, without hyperbole.

1. Disturbed - The Sound of Silence  ||  Released 2016  ||  Symphonic Rock  || ... the worst cover ever made.

Nimzo's Top 500 Albums of All Time (2023 Edition; Part 1/2)

*Phew...* this was a hard list to put together! I decided to break this into two parts, as I wanted a longer list than I posted last year but need it to be manageable (doin' school at the same time).  This was meticulously put together and thought out. To some it may seem counter-intuitive to rank music, but over time I've developed systems to compare and rate albums based on enjoyment and the impact they've had on me. Nevertheless, this sort of extensive list is very hard to do. In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of making it. A couple of little factoids about this half of the list: Percentage of male vocalists - 50%; female vocalists - 27.2%; male + female vocalists - 12.4%; instrumental - 10%; non-binary - 0.4%. Top sub-genres - Alternative Rock, Post-Punk, Indie Rock, Trip Hop, Art Pop, Industrial. Oldest album on the list -  Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus (1957). The format: #. Artist - Album   ||  genres  ||  Release Year...

Ranking Chelsea Wolfe's Discography (Worst to Best)

Similar / relevant lists: Gaian Doom Boxset               Chelsea Wolfe Interview Compilation                 Radiohead Song Ranking Björk Ranking                          The Joy Formidable Ranking Chelsea Wolfe is a strong contender for my favorite artist of all time. Her and the eponymous band's style is versatile, and, contrary to the views of some detractors, not chameleonic; all of her work is very dark and often gothic, but there are many different facets and angles of her own unique darkness that she comes at in her work. Genres she has explored include ethereal wave, dark folk, doom metal, and gothic rock. In this ranking, I will list my favorite studio albums in reverse order. Underneath, I will rank my 50 favorite songs of hers. 8. Mistake in Parting  ||  Alternative Rock  ||  2006  ||  5.5/10 7. Birth ...
