    Top 20 Worst Songs Ever: No. 17

    'Achy Breaky Heart'
    --Billy Ray Cyrus (1992)

    Until a few years ago, this song was what people thought of when they heard the name "Cyrus." For that reason, Billy Ray should be thanking his superstar daughter every day. To his credit, the man did heroically bring the mullet hairstyle to exciting and provocative new places.

    I don't listen to..nor do i like country..but i know the words to this song..can it really be that bad? bad is something that you hear once..and then no radio station ever plays it again. bad doesn't win grammies you ignorant bastards that made this list

    rshardingat 8-03-2008

    Yeah, like I'm going to trust some 22 year old female staff writer from AOL to list the songs on her "worst" list. Wish AOL would hire some mature male writers. I'm tired of most of the articles on AOL coming from ditzy females that can't help but give their opion on stuff they know nothing about. As far as this song goes, it's not the best song in the world or the worst.

    Who are you to say that young females don't have a grasp on music and are automatically "ditzy"? Regardless of your indifference for Billy Ray Cyrus when the Spinner staff happens to rank him negatively, there's no reason to assume things about the women that compiled this list. Even if AOL did hire "mature" males to write these trivial lists, chances are you wouldn't agree with them entirely either.

    I agree with heather, if youre going to make a comment, put some actual THOUGHT into it. Stop thinking with your secondary head, thanks much.

    zynteq7at 8-12-2008

    I couldn't agree with you more except for the fact that I don't see what her being female has to do with it. (im a guy btw) I've encountered male music critics with their heads up their a$$es as well. It all boils down to a staff meeting with "Ok What are we gonna put in spinner this week?" "Um.... oh just throw another best/worst song list again, that always gets them going when there's nothing else to do better article on...."

    you are such an idiot...what about the guy who made the top 20 rock songs ever....and then said that bands like black sabbath and metalica are not that good??? He was very wrong in that aspect....when the people and teens of today still listen to that and enjoy it ...then that guy was wrong and he was a MALE
