ok before we start proper Jason Donovan - Too Many Broken Hearts managed to fall of the list, it should have been #40 I will give him that one as it is a tune to be fair, the rest though will not fare so well.
40 Cha Cha Heels - Eartha Kitt, Bronski Beat
I just can't stand Eartha Kitt as a singer, she was fine as Catwoman in the 60s but her singing no just no.

39 Wishing On A Star - Fresh Four
This might have escaped if I hadnt heard it so recently on TOTP, just a lazy cover, she adds nothing, make your own songs!!

38 That's What I Like - Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers
While I hated Jive Bunny in principle at the time, it cant be denied that these mixes are much more pleasurable to listen to than the stuff in this top 30.

35 Superwoman - Karyn White
Not quite sure I was the target market for this but it still annoyed me more than Ms Jackson for example, I should have liked this but not quite.

34 After All (Love Theme From Chances Are) - Cher, Peter Cetera
Its like Peter Cetera is actually trying to be more boring with each record he releases, this one will take some beating.
OMG how young is Robert Downey Jnr!!

33 Cover Girl - New Kids On The Block
One of the convesrations that we have to have was which was worse Bros or New Kids, its a close call but when New Kids were bad they were really bad and even when they were not completely terrible they were still pretty bad. Most of these songs will be hits in the Uk next year sadly.

32 Too Much - Bros
yep hearing them back to back, this is better than 'Cover Girl' by no means the worst Bros song at all.

31 Bring Me Edelweiss - Edelweiss
From the KLF school of how to make a number one record for that it gained twenty places, it maybe very clever but it its still very annoying.

Another one of those ballads and Its Natalie Cole, not sure why I could listen to these from other artists but not her.

27 Love Attack - Shakin' Stevens
Probably the most 80s sounding Shaky song and then he sings and its just like all the others

26 Sister - Bros
Bros are still hanging around, how much longer, this one is really not very good, it reminds me of better songs I cant put my finger on.

25 Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time) - New Kids On The Block
Thats who, Bros sounding a bit like New Kids on that last song, here they destroy a classic.

24 Mean Man - W.A.S.P.

22 Something's Jumpin' In Your Shirt (with Malcolm McLaren & The Bootzilla Orchestra)
No doubt someone will be on here calling this genius, its like everything Malcolm McLaren does is brilliant just because of who he was/is.Oh dear.

I don't like that Simply Red cover, Teddy Pendergrass sang it so much better (with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes)
That Jive Bunny mix is definitely the worst of them, one of the worst medleys in fact because it just threw songs in any-old-how and they don't fit. Roy Wood re-recorded his part as Jive Bunny couldn't get the rights to use the original, and with Gary Glitter in the mix there too, that's his 2nd number one (as a co-writer) in just over 18 months
