The Top 10 Worst Songs Ever

Over the past week, there’s been an ongoing debate about the “worst song ever” on X . . . and it’s getting pretty heated. It’s unclear what started it.  (But X has become a cesspool of negativity over the years, so maybe this is just how X users and bots chat about music.)

 

One of the earlier posts gave the “worst song ever” title to:  The 2010 song “Home“ by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

 

And it went viral enough that lead singer Alex Ebert put out a video response, where he claimed that the song was a actually pioneer of the “stomp-clap . . . folk pop thing.”  He said that directly influenced bands like The Lumineers and Of Monsters and Men . . . to the point where he almost sued them.
