Their cowbell player missed the gig and they had to substitute. 😜

Now that some have had a chance to vote, may I make a rare critique?

I despise “Yeah!,” by Usher. If you take out the horrendous out-of-tune airhorn sound, you have the seeds of a good song…but it’s incessant. It’s become a joke in our family – my wife and kid know, to arouse my ire, they can “rickroll” me with a few seconds of this song.

(Note that I don’t despise Usher at all. Lovely R&B voice. I included another of his songs in a previous poll in this series).

According to the world-famous **Ponch8 Music Rating System** , “You Know I’m No Good” is deserving of my sole vote. Other songs that came just short were “You Worry Me,” “Yellow Flicker Beat,” and “You Need to Calm Down.”

“You’re So Fucking Pretty” is a very whiny song and earns the dreaded dead-ass last position.
