On Saturday 14th May 1977, Kenny Everett compiled and broadcast the top 30 worst songs ever (according to his listeners votes) on his Capital Radio show. It later spawned an album of which 20 of these tracks featured. Here is the full list and the ones with an asterisk indicate they made the UK singles chart. I’m not sure what Jess Conrad did wrong, but he makes three appearances.
I’ve also added the audio for the number one for you to ‘enjoy’!
