Rolling Stone has decided to publish their list of the worst songs of the 80's and I have to say they have fielded an obvious list - they take shots at the easiest songs and I make the assumption that the 20-something Rolling Stone writer wasn't even alive in the 80's or if they were, they were rolling around in a dirty diaper and would have no idea what constitutes a bad song from the 80's.
