The  WTTS Rock To Read Benefit, presented by Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza was a smashing success, raising thousands for the Indianapolis Public Library children’s reading programs.

The show starred two long-time ‘TTS favorites: John Hiatt & The Combo and Big Head Todd & The Monsters inside the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre. We will soon post concert photos here.

Rolling Stone has published a list of the worst songs of the 80′s. Their list contained the following songs:

1. Starship – ‘We Built This City’
2. Europe – ‘The Final Countdown’
3. Chris De Burgh – ‘Lady In Red’
4. Wham! – ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go’
5. Men Without Hats – ‘The Safety Dance’
6. Falco – ‘Rock Me Amadeus’
7. Bobby McFerrin – ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’
8. Toni Basil – ‘Mickey’
9. Taco – ‘Puttin’ On The Ritz’
10. Rick Astley – ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’

We at WTTS put our heads together to try to think of some awful 80′s music that fell through the cracks. After much debate, here are the most gimmicky, misguided, cheesy, and downright wrong musical mishaps of the 80′s:

Prince -  “Bat Dance”

Corey Hart -  “Sunglasses at Night”

Queen – “Flash”

USA for Africa – “We Are the World”

Bruce Willis – “Respect Yourself”

Eddie Murphy – “Party All the Time”

…and the worst song of the 80′s is one that was (thankfully) never given a proper release. Brian Wilson recorded a rap song called “Smart Girls” for an album titled “Sweet Insanity” that he recorded between 1986-1991. You can see why this album never saw the light of day.

What are some of your least favorite songs from the 80′s?
