Red Mosquito

It could come from a dozen different 80s movie or album covers probably.

Either way, I agree that the song is abysmal. What a bunch of clowns these guys became.

I also agree that something in the pop/bro country genre is likely to be worse -- not research that I will be doing myself.

Weird Science?

i think the offspring track is worse than the necro track..

the necro one is at least baffling.

New contender?

Late to the party, but thank you for including this. It's a truly horrible song.

Extreme is one of the most puzzling bands of all time to me. I didn't even know they existed until a few years ago, when I learned that Nuno is widely regarded as one of the greatest living guitarists. This dude can shred, there's no denying that. But what the hell? The name "Extreme" is, quite frankly, fucking horrendous. Their biggest hit, More Than Words (1991) was a ballad, with vocals being the main draw. Nuno does fuck all.

I just don't get it. Who even listens to these guys? Aside from Rick Beato boomers, obviously. Truly fascinating.

That is easily the worst song of the year. Jorge is currently in the lead.

Nuno is evidently the long-standing guitarist in Rihanna's touring band.

I agree that that song takes the cake so far. Hideous.

"More Than Words" was weirdly popular when I was in high school in the mid 2000s. I remember more than one acoustic duo performing it at the talent show. Strange because it was released in 1990

Damn, I was off by a year. But yeah, it was all over the radio here growing up. I just assumed it was by a solo vocalist, but that was Nuno on guitar! That was Extreme!

I have a friend who is an Extreme fan. She thinks Nuno is uo there with Frusciante and Mike. She saw them a few times in europe.

Wait! WINNER

Yeah, that's pretty bad.

I'm not listening to that. Nice titties in the thumbnail tho.

Frusciante has style points. Mike doesn't really have style points IMO -- he's just an imitator. Kind of like how Slash just shreds scales. Nuno does all of that and better, so I see her point.

He plays on "Kiss It Better" which is a tasty lead but not exactly unique

I wouldn’t know the worst song of 2024 but I can speculate that there are soooo many to choose from and it appears to me that everything being released these days features mumbling, drum machines, auto tune, etc. Have fun with it.

I was hanging out for your take. Cheers, bruv.
