Bad Songs by Good Bands: No. 4

'American Life'
--Madonna (2003)

The F-bombs ... rhyming "Pilates" with "hotties"... the graphic video that puts military carnage on the fashion runway and ol' Madge in naughty SS-style garb. War is bad. Do we really need Madonna to tell us so?

Tiffanyat 8-13-2008

Yea umm how is Madonna a band? I thought a band consisted of more than one person playing thier own instruments. Half of these songs on here weren't even sung by a band and most of these somgs rocked and couldn't even be considered top 20 worst song by good bands. How you ppl keep your jobs is beyond me the site editor must be a total moron for letting this get on here in the first place!

I think this was the second song on this list (Rapture by Blondie was the first) to actually suck.

RICARDO SANTANAat 5-15-2008

AMERICAN LFE ALBUM TODAY 2008 IF RELES WOULD BE TOP 10 BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OD=F AMEICANS WANT WAR DONE AND BUSH APPROVAL RATES BACK THEN WHEN SHE DID THE ALBUM WAS HIGH RATINGS FOR HIM PRO WAR NOW HE IS 28% approval rate an the majority wants the wa r to end and that is was madonna's message . Timing is everything. The song I like very much and the videos very exy on the video "HOLLWOOD"

I agree! I hate that song but her other songs in the past sucked to (in the past 8 years that is). Music, Frozen, Power of Goodbye all suck too. Her new song 4 minutes I actually really like, I can't believe it. Madonna you may be back.
