 The term "bad music" is very open to discussion. Most 80s music - despite
the nostalgic waxing of many on this list - was pure sap. THe fact that it
is played over and over again by unimaginative radio stations definitely
does not make it any better :) 

I for one appreciate a station that plays something other than 15 year old 
records that are so worn out the needle skates in the grooves.
