Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 1975
A song about domestic abuse, the main theme already makes it akward to sit through, but the sound of it it's so slow and soft it could have been made as the official theme for an anti domestic abuse commercial back in the 70s, it also doesn't matter than the title let alone already rises a few eyebrows
Respect Alice and respect his intentions but so sad to see the result ending in something so... wrong
Another one that was close to top the list, a big problem with bad songs from the 70s were how slow they sounded, not a problem with slow songs but sometimes the atmosphere really matters in this case, or if you want to make a poppier song you at least need to do something interesting in between to make it memorable, but this as far as soft pop from the 70s goes, is one of the most generic examples I can think off... it also doesn't help that Frankie Valli's voice sounds so bad
A song about a juvenile romance, the theme itself is not bad for a pop song but not only it's performed by 2 of the most unpopular artists in the decade, they were also performed by actual brothers, is not as disgusting as Run Joey Run or no taste as Only Women Bleed, but with how it sounds I honestly pity you if you could stop your insomnia
I already trashed this song enough on my lists from Year-End #1 hits of 1970 and worst Year-End #1 songs of all time. However, I'm still amazed that this was the biggest song of the year. I know that the general audience taste in the '70s was different, but this is genuinely embarrassing, making Captain and Tennille one of the most regrettable acts in popular music, up there with Michael Bolton, Nickelback, and Lil Yachty.
No, it's not the James Blunt song, despite both of these two songs being in a really familiar league in terms of being written from the perspective of a little kid feeling his first crush, and one of the most simplistic and cheesiest background instrumentals ever. Not to mention the extremely try-hard and awkward vocals to show his passion for the person that this song is dedicated to.
Alongside Only Women Bleed this might be the most akward and straight distasteful hits of the year, why would you make a song about a forbid romance who ends up in the girlfriend being killed? And worst from all, killed pregnant by her own dad? And the fact that the song sounds like one of those "epic" novelty songs from the late 50s makes it even more akward
A song dedicated to Muhammad Ali, the intentions are there and I admire them but why instead of sounding like an actual sports theme dedicated to one of the greatest boxers ever, sounds like the background noice for a kid's commercial? This has to be one of the most anti-climatic songs in history and the only redeemeble thing I can say about it is how so bad it's good sounds
