To be honest I hate Christmas songs with Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl being the one and only exception. But I really liked this review although I could have lived without knowing the existence of Santa Baby by Madonna (🥶)but the Annie Lennox one was a pleasant surprise.Hope you had nice holidays and Happy Birthday and accordions are cool ,I mean if you see what James Fearnley of The Pogues could do with that instrument.

Most of these songs, still hold up better than anything made today. This SHOULD be renamed, "My personal opinions, about songs I don't like". smh

“She’s impersonating Mae West impersonating Betty Boop.” That is a perfect description! Haha technically Mary nodded, but yeah. And thank you for saying what I think about Seger’s voice. It totally sounds as if he’s trying to squeeze one out. The video for Gabriel’s Message used to creep me out when I was a kid, and I was a bit of a horror fan even then.

I showed my mom your chamnel a while ago and thinks you're the funniest reviwer she's watched. Im happy you're back :)

Glad to see you're back GM! I stumbled onto your channel 5 months ago or so and really enjoyed all your videos. Hope the casino job is going well.

Thanks for your review. As you said, we may disagree, but you point out some things that I overlooked, and I appreciate it. Perhaps strangely for an atheist, but understandably as one who has sung early music for some time, I've more than had my fill of secular Christmas songs, and have to be held back from destroying any audio source emitting "SAAAN-ta Claus is comin' to town...". The 16-beat percusson on "Gabriel's Message" doesn't detract from it for me, and the Slaughter of the Innocents is part of the Christmas story and as such deserves to be heard. That said, I appreciate your insights and we can cheerfully disagree. If you're going to review more anthology albums (looking forward to _If I Were a Carpenter_!), please do consider _Stay Awake_, a collection of songs (and in the case of the late, great Ken Nordine, narration with wonderful backing music) from Disney movies.

Very special Christmas volumes 1-3 are staples in my family. Volume 3 is particularly great IMO. Good ranking!!

As a fellow atheist I prefer religious xmas songs.

(Kris Bluth) I was thinking about you literally the other day. Glad that life has settled down enough for you to come back. And "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)" is the only U2 song I can even stand anymore.

How convenient that this came up on my feed just days after I listened to a few Very Special Christmas comps! Nice work!

I remember People magazine's review having this line on Stevie Nicks' version of Silent Night: "Hoo boy. Elmer Fudd goes Christmas caroling." I haven't been able to hear the song without hearing the Elmer Fudd enunciation ever since.

I can't stand the John Melancamp song. I find it grating.

Music opinions are very subjective, and I agree with some and disagree with your takes. Thanks for bringing this compilation to light once again. It has sat on my shelf since is was issued and only brought out a few times since then. I was like “oh yeah” I forgot about that album. 😊

It's been a long time since I saw a new video from you, Mark. I'm still a subscriber of your channel and I wish you and your family a happy holiday, man. 😅

About “We Built This City:” the lyrics “Marconi plays the mamba” is the stupidest thing ever sung. They weren’t even looking for a rhyme, either. Check this out: Marconi was never a DJ, and even if he were, he would have played a mambo, samba, meringue, etc., because a mamba is a highly venomous and aggressive snake. I’m sorry, but venomous snakes flying out of my speakers tends to interrupt the flow of my day.

I know “MacArthur Park” was originally from 1968, but Donna Summer’s 1978 remake is a travesty. Only only thing could make an awful 1960s pretentious trash pile into an even longer dance to the death: cocaine.

The teen star of the sixties were forced by the producers of their TV shows to sing whether they could or not.

Peter. Cetera.

I thought I was the only one left that remembered Up With People

I never heard anything as awful as Donny Osmond singing Puppy Love with that little girly voice of his. Yuck! If it had been a number 1hit, which would have made it even worse for me instead of number 3 (I think), would it be on your worst 70's list? I can't believe I haven't seen it listed on any worst song lists, but it should be. I agree with your choice of One Bad Apple, which is well named, but would Puppy Love be on it too, hopefully at number 1 or close to it? I hope so. This song is so bad that I'm almost too embarrassed to even mention it. I haven't heard it in many years, which I'm glad of, and hope I never do again!

Phil Collins was pretty terrible, but I think that ' Another day in Paradise' should be replaced on this list by Sussudio. I hate that song. Music, singing lyrics, it's all utter garbage. I'm normally not very outspoken on music tastes, but Sussudio is one of the songs I just plainly hate.

Why does Bob from Will Power sound like he’s going for an impression of Sonny Bono when “singing?” Also, I know Bennett The Sage has already made this joke, but Bob in the music video looks like an unrealized Nicolas Cage character. I can’t unsee it and it’s hilarious. 😆 🤣😂

I don't know if they hit #1 but my votes for Honorable Mention to the Hall of Shame have to go to "The NIght Chicago Died", "The Streak", "Junkfood Junkie", and anything by Bread and/or David Gates. Ewwww

“We Are The World” should’ve been #1! There is no reason it shouldn’t have been #1! It’s fucking terrible! Peter Cetera is…..Peter Cetera..and he’s the epitome of boring and lame and bland and bad..but We Are The World is aggressively unlistenable! :0

While "One Bad Apple" is a Jackson Five ripoff, The Osmonds were at least genuinely talented. They could sing, dance, and play instruments. Also, their cartoon show would've been slightly better if they'd swapped Jimmy for Marie. I'd rather listen to The Osmonds, than an exposed fraud like Jennifer Lopez.

I think you need to just realise all decades of music have horrible, so-so and fantastic songs. That being said 70s had some of the best songs that ever were. I dont notice you being the singer of a fantastic, so-so, or horrible song from any decade so take your opinion a file it behind you. Hugs and kisses

Thumbs down when you diss Duran Duran

I liked all the songs, including disco duck. It brings back a lot. Of good memories from my childhood.

Except for Muskrat Love and Feelings, I'm still cool with all others.

I HATE that the "f word" is allowed on the internet. No wonder teens love the internet soooo much.

Cool list, but I couldn't make it through the whole thing - your left-wing lunacy is too much. I just came for music, not your idiocy.

Some individuals love these songs, most are just bad and you Light Up My Life tops the list. As a 15 year old who heard this song I ran straight in the opposite direction. As I described this song in college paper that it sounds like it has as much energy a cadaver in the morgue playing it.

Todd in the Shadows wannabe

Back in 1965, when I first heard The Wonder Who's version of "Dont Think Twice," I assumed it was recorded by a group called The New Beats. The new Beats did "Bread and Butter" PS. I loved the song!

80s music ended in about 1987. Some of these listed were later. For me, the later 80s weren’t 80s music.

New sub here. I can't fault your choices. The 70s was something else! BTW: Not just the music either. The movies were great too. Worth doing a video on - starting with Planet of the Apes, Omega Man and Soylent Green. Cheers

He's not wrong about the Pina Colada song. Its about two people planning to behave very badly. But ... I still love the tune.

Sad f#@k

I would love to hear you discuss thec80s top 10 hit, Sugar Walls.

CNN.... pft. They lie so much how could anyone trust their viewers opinion polls.

Liberal self hatred of white people ruined your video

I was a teen in the 70's and remember all these "songs"

I think you're dumb . How can you say Cats in the Cradle is bad. Thats the way it usually turns out. I think that is a very intelligent song. I think you're just trying to fill a video. Some i agree with. Like Disco Duck .

John Denver had to be one of the best singers of the 70s

I always thought One Bad Apple was pretty snappy. However… the Pina Colada song made me want to rip the dial off my car radio. 😂

"Open up or else I'll beat...down the door." If someone who looked like Peter Noone broke down your door, the fellas would toss him like a javelin.😂🤣

The Beatles had 2 #1s (Let It Be and The Long And Winding Road in 1970) Paul had 6 (1 with Linda and 5 with Wings), George and Ringo had 2 and John had 1. None is on the list.

"Caravan of Love" by The House Martens was lame and excruciating. Ditto from down under, "What About Me" by Moving Pictures.

It’s probably a good idea not to take advice from a pasty-faced youtube knob polisher.
