Worst Rock Songs of All Time

I know that music was way better at the time that this song came out, but still, bad music came out. Yeah, this song is a great example of this. I don't want to explain why, because it really embarrasses me to talk about an awful song from a great decade.
4/10 Bad Song
While I won't burst in anger when I hear this song, I can't help but notice the song calling out "corporation games" while being one of the most corporate-sounding songs of all time. And does the synth-heavy arrangement sound like a theme song for any rock-and-roll event ("we built this city for rock and roll")? Or some poorly-produced corporate or public service video in the 1980s?

Stairway to Heaven is the 9th worst rock song of all time?... I hate my generation. It's like what The Who said, "Why don't you all just f-f-f-fade away! "
I do hate this band, but this song is about the bullying Andy experienced in his childhood, so it is kind of messed up to put this here.
This is a great song, I don't care how many stereotypical idiots call me an "emo poser". This song is standing up to bullies. It's a good song, give BVB a chance.

Metallica is one of my favorite bands but this song is bad.
sounds like blood on the dance floor
How about everything on this album?

I don't hate Nickelback, I just enjoy hating them. As for this song, while it has a solid and pretty catchy riff, the lyrics are so sleazy I can't listen to the whole thing without cringing. Just no, Chad. No.
I think it's just a trend now to hate these guys... THEY'RE NOT BAD! Just because you don't enjoy them personally, doesn't mean they suck. Come on, people, Nickelback isn't bad
This song is easily their worst and WAY worse than Rockstar. It's disgusting and terrible, just listen to it. I'm surprised that Rockstar isn't in the top ten, however.

This is one of the most sexist songs I have ever heard. Please give credit to @LoveMusicLoveLife and @adamrichy86 for voting for this. And yes, I know that there was not much rock in 2021, but still, it's one of the worst songs ever, not just rock.
0/10 Abomination Song

Billie Joe Armstrong doesn't even sound like he wants to sing the song. The lyrics make no sense and the song fails at being sexy. Overall cringe.

The worst rock song ever! I just ought to put this on this list, otherwise I couldn't sleep at night!
This isn't even ROCK! But still, it's one of the worst songs I've ever heard
Might as well put all her albums here, she...SUCKS!

including the most commercial pap smear suckholing to become radio friendly effort of all time. The guys who released Rocks, Toys and draw the line. Say it ain't so! An undying curse placed on the ears of all who expected more.
I can't believe some people actually like this song. It's so bad it makes any song by Nickleback sound like Stairway to Heaven.
Anything written by Aerosmith after 1980 could easily make this list.

HOW is Stairway to Heaven worse than this song is that's like saying anaconda by Nicki Minaj is better than Rolling in the Deep by Adele
This song is trash, but it's not even rock.

Bawithaba is way worse than this song in my opinion, because it repeats over and over and over. This one isn't entirely too bad, although the sampling of Metallica's Sad but True over rap doesn't quite work out well.
Worst song ever? Another one bites the dust. Great band, horrible song. Worst song song, period.
Great song,great artist...I've seen him multiple times and he gives his all EVERY time...
The Newcomers

Yet another forgotten one-hit-wonder from the years of nu-metal. It's really nothing special.

At least "Lips of an Angel" has guilty pleasure value, but this sickening power ballad doesn't. Not only is it a rehash of the former, but Austin Winkler's vocals are extremely grating and douchey, especially at the chorus. The lyrics are also cringy.

Why does this song even exist? It's just downright unlistenable. Yoko Ono basically sounds like a whiny toddler screaming his guts out in a toy store.
I honestly found this hilarious enough for replay value. The backing instrumentals are also nice.
WHY was this atrocity not on this list already?


Chad Kroeger's vocals are a cringefest to listen to. And the lyrics are downright awful. I don't think anything good has come from these people.
2/10 Terrible Song
This song has become a meme for a very good reason, it is just terrible
Rockstar is worse than Photograph

Which idiot added this awesome song in this list?
What? Are you crazy or something...did the worms ate your brain.....being voted on the best punk songs and now here...doesn't make any sense
Some retard from the South probably got pissed off and went haywire all over Green Day.

TOAD is definitely worse than Nickelback. I really hate the lyrics here, it looks like it's about some guy dating a stripper and the vocals are pretty obnoxious too.
Damn, the vocals on this track are so obnoxious (yep, even more than Chad Kroeger) and the lyrics are really immature. This is butt rock at its worst (has there been anything good in this genre anyway?)

This song should've been passed on to Bruno Mars because he is infinitely better than Pat Monahan, despite having made cheesy songs like "Grenade". The background is bland. The vocals are bland. The lyrics couldn't be any worse.
3/10 Awful Song
Just horrible. The lyrics are as lame and pretentious as the worst of Robert Plant's hippie-dippy, Tolkienesque drivel. The song itself is forgettable, unless you happened to have been inundated with it, which was inevitable for anyone who worked in a public place while it was a "hit".

This is the worst Rock song I have ever heard the only positive is the fact its only 1 minute long insted of being long and tortureous
Songs like this one are why ignorant people hate metal and rock music. This song is so awful, I don't even know how to properly respond to it. It really is that bad. It is definitely worse than Stairway to Heaven, Green Day, and Black Veil Brides. This song is even worse than Nickelback and Creed. Thankfully, this song appears to be an anomaly in their catalog, as their other stuff is more mediocre than bad. Maybe they could start a brand new subgenre called "mediocore".
Words can't explain how disoriented this song is. I am not here to disrespect anyone's opinions but you should listen to this yourself before calling it good just because it's a rock song.

This is one of the worst rock songs I have ever heard honestly. The lyrics are very immature and repetitive, and the vocals are super whiny as well. Also, I don't understand how this managed to make the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100
Whiny, drab power ballad in the style of Nickelback and Hinder.

This song rocks in my opinion. I don't give a funk what people say creed and nickelback rocks. Anyways most songs on here is just pop music. Also American idiot rocks so funk off you bastarderous rock n roll haters
Honestly surprised how many people are defending this song. I can't think of even a tiny thing good about this muck. Each to their own I guess.
This song was good until the radio played it literally six times in a single day and then it got very annoying.

This song is super cliched. I don't despise the fact that it's a generic pop song as much as it's cliched, but I don't like the fact that it's generic either.
3/10 Awful Song
This crap doesn't even count as rock. And who the hell put Stairway To Heaven on this list!? It's not only the greatest rock song of all time, but also one of the greatest songs of all time, period.
Uh, a good majority of the songs on the list aren't even rock songs. Any-who, I've never a song so overplayed, so dull, so unbearable than this.

No that song is awesome. Whoever came with this list is an idiot. And this isn't a rock song it's a pop rock song
When you think about it really hard... you still don't know what the actual heck any of this song's lyrics mean.
You mean my farts know what you did in the dark

Whoever put A Perfect Circle here must be executed.

Ok for some reason Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin, the greatest band ever, is higher than this piece of crap on a worst rock songs list
Rubbish, I dislike this song and is officially demeaning rock 'n' roll. I prefer the other tunes of the artist Nickelback.
This song needs to be way higher, it's one of the most obnoxious and pretentious songs ever.
