Each week, we'll be featuring the worst songs from each year this decade. We'll be counting down the absolute worst songs to come out each year from 2000 to 2009, and we'll be bringing back all of the songs you wish you'd forgotten. These are the songs that people just can't seem to believe exist, because they're just so terrible. There is a good mixture of guilty pleasures (the awfully funny) and complete crapfests (the awful with no merit). At the end of the 10 weeks, you'll have an opportunity to vote on the worst song of the decade.
2006 was the year where artists who just plain can't sing dominated the airwaves. A woman who was famous for a sex tape, the most obnoxious overuser of autotune, a lonely goatherd, and others made the radio a painful place. You couldn't turn the dial without your eardrums splitting open. Could 2006 be the worst year for music ever, or will 2009 make 2006 seem utterly brilliant? As we start to head to the end of the decade, check out the songs that made you lose faith in humanity in 2006:
10. Daniel Powter – Bad Day
This song just blows. American Idol sent it to radio repeat hell, but it was a bad song to begin with. So what, you had a bad day? I can't hear this song anymore without picturing awful slow motion montages with the words "it was a great experience" and "I'm so proud of myself" over and over. Not to mention Daniel Powter says in interviews that he doesn't even like it that much. If he doesn't even like it and he makes stupid frowny faces everytime he talks about it, I'm sure not going to like it.
