Annotated German Top 20 (2 May 2008)

I used to do this occasionally in our private Usenet years ago... (Yes, we had a private Usenet. Didn't you?)

  1. Madonna - 4 Minutes
    Not the worst thing Madonna ever did, although like most of what Timbaland produces this does get pretty annoying pretty fast.

  2. Duffy - Mercy
    At first I didn't have any opinion on this one at all, then Nik told me how much he hated it. I gave it another listen and since then I've really grown to like it.

  3. Ich + Ich - So Soll Es Bleiben
    Horrible. This band has outstayed its welcome a long time ago.

  4. Mark Ronson - Valerie
    Decent track from an album that has better ones.

  5. Schnuffel - Kuschel Song
    Never heard it, I'm assuming it's terrible?

  6. Yael Naim - New Soul
    Bland enough to not switch stations when it's on the radio, but that's about it.

  7. Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
    Fantastically cheesy, probably unintentionally bad background "music". The voice gets kind of annoying after a while, though.

  8. OneRepublic - Stop And Stare
    Yawn.

  9. Scooter - I'm Lonely
    Never heard it, but I know it's terrible.

  10. Stefanie Heinzmann - My Man Is A Mean Man
    Annoying. I don't think I have ever listened to the whole song.

  11. Moby - Disco Lies
    If this is the song he did on Conan, then... I don't remenber it at all, so it probably isn't very good.

  12. Lützenkirchen - 3 Tage Wach
    Never heard it, or of it.

  13. Die Ärzte - Lasse Redn
    Not bad, especially now that I've heard the Lasse redn/Funky Town mash-up.

  14. Mariah Carey - Touch My Body
    No.

  15. Madcon - Beggin'
    Ultra annoying.

  16. Dr Stay - Don't Sweat That
    Never heard it.

  17. T-Pain - Low
    This is just bad.

  18. Ida Corr - Let Me Think About It
    Never heard it.

  19. Der W. - Geschichtenhasser
    Never heard it, doesn't sound like something I'd want to hear.

  20. A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover
    It's okay. It's playing too much, though.

The best song on that list is Ida Corr feat. Fedde Le Grand - Let me think about it.

Okay, I'll bite.

After listening to the track, I can say with full conviction: No, it's not. It's bad pop. It's bad house.

And the fact that it's even in the charts baffles me. Why would anyone ever want to buy this?

Thorsten said...

I didn't say it was good. I said it was the best song on that list. And that's sad.

Still, no. There are at least seven songs in there that are "not bad", which is more than I can say for this one.
