2004 had a lot of bad music, but one family took up about 1/3 of this list with their awful voices. And the rest of the list is populated by some odd stuff you couldn't invent again if you tried. So what made you want to slit your wrists in 2004? These songs:
10. Five for Fighting – 100 Years
The song’s concept is stupid, but that isn’t really why it’s on this list. This guy’s voice is so fucking annoying. Who could listen to this without shooting themselves in the face? Do they torture war criminals with this song on replay? Do dogs in heat run into the room when it’s played? Whatever the song’s use, it shouldn’t ever be considered decent music.

2003 was a year for songs that were so bad, they're good. So many guilty pleasures came out of this year, as people apparently were trying to be terrible to sell records. It worked! Here's a recap of the songs that made 2003 a terrible year for music.
10. Amanda Perez - Angel
Some people get record deals because they sing well. Some get record deals because they're attractive. Some get record deals based on buzz. Then there's Amanda Perez, who has none of the above. How she became famous, and how this horribly written and horribly sung song became such a hit on the radio is a mystery. Showing how one note she is, Amanda released a second single called "I Pray" which sounds almost identical to "Angel". Thankfully, Amanda never repeated the success of her first song.

2002 was a year for terrible songs with good intentions, pointless remakes, and songs about the joys of interacting with the female anatomy. So without further ado, here's a recap of the songs that made you contemplate throwing your car radio out the window in 2002.
10. Kelly Osbourne - Papa Don't Preach
The success of the TV show The Osbournes afforded the whole family some success. Sharon got an embarrassingly short lived talk show that was canceled almost immediately. Jack got a stint in rehab for his drug addictions. But the biggest shame was Kelly's recording career. Her first single was a cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach", which was ironic because there's no way any man was looking to impregnate Kelly. Ever. For those of you who think her next song "Shut Up" was worse, you are correct. But it didn't come out until 2003 *cue creepy foreshadowing music*

2001 brought out some terrible music that you probably haven't thought of since then. Well, here's a trip down memory lane with the awful songs you had to endure on the radio in 2001.
10. Nsync - Pop
Bragging about how your group is amazing and your style of music is the best should be reserved for hip hop. When 5 white kids did it, you knew the result would be hilarious, and this song didn't disappoint. Justin Timberlake sings about how Nsync's style of music is not a trend... only to have this be the group's last album. Even the producer of the song, BT, said, "I couldn't believe that they played that on the radio, much less that it was a single and a hit." That makes two of us.

This week, starting off the decade, here are the 10 worst songs of 2000:
10. Macy Gray - I Try
Now honestly, this song isn't that bad. In fact, it's kind of good. But Macy Gray's voice is a thing of sheer terror. The fact that no one stopped her from releasing her own songs is a testament to the sad state of the music industry. Had someone else sung this song? It probably could have been a bigger hit. But the irony is that the song won a Grammy for Best Female Vocal Performance. Were the Grammy voters drunk the night they voted or was it a VFTW Victory?

2005 was the year that incorporated way too much obnoxious spelling into songs. Suddenly, every coke whore with a record deal had to prove that she could also pass a 3rd grade spelling bee. So let's take a listen to the elementary school dropouts who made you remember the value of an education (and decent tune) in 2005:
10. Weezer- Beverly Hills
Would anyone really go to the Playboy mansion to hear Weezer play? Would anyone even go to a bowling alley to hear Weezer play? Certainly not if it's this song. The Playboy Mansion isn't even in Beverly Hills, they should actually be singing Holmby Hills. Incredibly boring, incredibly repetitive, and a waste of radio space that took up way more time than it deserved.
