Some of the worst (my opinion):
1. O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei (Eurobeat Remix)

I'm almost shocked that "Your Love is Magic - Luna" appeared on your worst list, Jayveemon.

It's my favourite Vibration track and I think it totally saved 156.

Also, DJ Mike, I'm also a bit surprised at "Original Sin - Powerful T.", "Pilot is the Hero - Niko", "My Body Sweat - Vicky Vale" and "Tic Toc - Leila".

Conversely, all of those probably would have made it onto my top 20.

Well, to each his own, I suppose. ^_^;

[DJ Mike]

Well that really shows a difference in taste of what we like in Eurobeat Personally speaking, My Body Sweat was among the worst of the lot. I don't like voice work in Original Sin and Pilot Is The Hero - and Tic Toc.. eck...

Some of the songs in my list aren't _terrible_ songs, but they certainly deserve to be on the list for being poor efforts. There are several other songs I haven't listed which, while not unpleasant, aren't really very memorable either. I guess when you've got 1500+ Eurobeat songs to listen to, you become selective in what stands out

Nothing could save 156. That album was just a train wreck bar 2 songs (2Love 4 Love and Snowgame Fighters)

[DJ Mike]

That's a little unfair perhaps, imo 156 was far from a strong album (probably the most full of awful tracks as far as the recent albums are concerned) - but for me the strongest highlight is the remake Wild Reputation 2005 - the original was a fun song but the new version is simply fantastic. Maybe less of a Eurobeat song and more a Pop song, but I love it nonetheless.

[Ricfiam]

[the_ditz]

Nothing could save 156. That album was just a train wreck bar 2 songs (2Love 4 Love and Snowgame Fighters)

2love 4love is one of the best Eurobeat tracks EVER! Snowgame Fighters however....I've never really understood the big deal about that!

I cannot stand Franz Tornado & Akihabara Maids - Maid Attack [SEB 161] - that is by far the worst Eurobeat song EVER!!

Other songs that are just soooo awful are...

Bonnie & Clyde - Criminals [SEB 153] - umm, yeh...
Queen 26 - Going Crazy [SEB 154] - since when did house music belong in SEB???
David Off - Imagination [SEB 156] - what is that intro all about with the panning effects?
Sticky Tricky & Bang - Sticky Tricky & Bang! [SEB 157] - kids TV!
Leslie Parrish - Victim [SEB 158] - this is how 80s should NOT be done!
Stylophones - Never Say Goodbye [SEB 159] - mushy icky bleurgh!!
Alexis - Love Is Burning [SEB 161] - good god, cabaret rock intro alert!!
Suzy Lazy - Carry On Baby [SEB 162] - just non-descript, nothing special at all!

Best songs are...

Stephy Martini - Emotions [SEB 153] - stunning melody, LOVE IT!
Dusty - It's My Life [SEB 153] - Dusty is by far the best SEB male soloist...
Freddy Rodgers - Dance To The Music [SEB 154] - excellent intro, strong vocals and excellent synths!
Powerful T - Original Sin [SEB 154] - Just a great melody and vocal performance!
Pamsy & Ace - 2love 4love [SEB 156] - fell in love with this track from the first listen - absolutely amazing!!
Niko - Pilot Is The Hero [SEB 158] - I hated this at first, but the energy in the bass and synths is infectious!!
Lolita - Loving Tonight [SEB 159] - the closest thing to modern Eurodance/trance I've heard that still sounds like Eurobeat (Just For Me from 163 is pure Eurotrance...)
Go 2 - Funky Funlover [SEB 159] - miles better than Not For SAAAAAAAALLLLLEEE??? lol
Van TK and Kiki & Fancy - Make Your Move [SEB 161] - best slower SEB track since 2love 4love...
Milk & Coffea - Yellow Butterfly [SEB 161] - such a massive tune, the bass beat and melody get me everytime!
Pamsy - So Fragile [SEB 162] - OH...MY...GOD...I didn't think anything could topple 2love 4love from its coveted position at the top of my Eurobeat league....but it looks like this one just did!!

8)This is hard ,because all Eurobeat is different style, but if I had to choose 20. In order how cds came out
153
1.Christine- Wings into The Sky. I do not like this song at all
2.Nuage- You'll Never...Too slow for me.
3.J. Storm-Shout. All he really does is just that thru the whole song.
154
4. Queen 26-Going Crazy. This Eurostyle doesn't do nothing for me. It killed Hi Energy in the states.
5.Powerful T.-Original Sin. I like about 3 songs from this guy. Right now I only remember Blood & Fire.
6.Ace- My Valentine. What worked for Dusty on It's My Life, doesn't for poor Ace.
7.go Go Girls- I Wanna Be Fat. I just can't sing along to this. Though the synth hook is great. Pity...
155
8.Fastway-777. I hate when he says 777 sounds like he's having an orgasm.
156
9.Kiki & Fancy- Big In The Night. Too happy and do not tranzy sounds.
10.Pamsy & Ace- 2 Love 4 Love. This is a bit boring. Not bad ,but boring. and I do not like Pamsy's tranzy style of previous songs.
157
11.J. Storm- Vision Of Paradise. Sorry this guy's voice tunes me off comlpetely.
12. Tricky,Sticky & Bang. This falls under my worst songs ever. Kids singing and... it's too bad for words!!!

13.Ace- Power Of Sound. This strikes me as slow pop. the chorus slows down the song too much. He sounds way better paired up with Fastway
14.Giada- Give me Your Love. This Eurobeat just doesn't work for me. I need more speedy synths.
15.Nuage- I feel Fine. Same As Above
159
16. Karen- Love Forever .....Skip it everytime
17.Dave & Nuage- Don't Make me Cry. I'm sick of this pairing up. I'm glad TIME dosn't do this crap.
161
18.Manual- On My Wings. As bad as Power Of Sound.
19.Van T.K. and Kika & Fancy. What a load of bull. Van T.K's awesome vocals gone to waste.
162
this was a pretty bad cd in mmy opinion

[DJ Mike]

I'm surprised so many people have a go at Sticky, Tricky and Bang - half of the female vocalists in Eurobeat sing that high anyway

It's not the singing that's the problem, it's the actual song - it just sounds like a really crap kids TV theme tune that would make me change the channel straight away!

[uberuser]

How could you guys pick Snowgame fighters and Delta Queens - Blue as the WORST ones!?

[Cosmic_Bard]

Well, for starters, Snowgame Fighter is a cover of a T.M. Revolution song... and not a very good one, at that, IMO. The rap part was cool, but that was probably the only part.

I liked Blue, though. I thought it was pretty original. The rest of that album sucked, though.... except for Original Sin, maybe.

I think this activity has really shown just how much our tastes differ from person to person. I think it's great, really. Differences spark discussions/debates and the more we talk about it, the more we understand and as a result, grow to like eurobeat a bit more.

The way I've always looked at it is that the worst eurobeat song is at least as good as the best song of any other genre. I don't particularily hate or dislike any songs... sure, there are some I like better... some MUCH better than others, but I feel that every song has its likeable points. Even stuff like "Imagination - David 'Off'".

[Sadie]

^ I don't mean to come off as surprised, but I'm entertained by the fact you typed it's great people have different opinions XD No offense intended! It just threw me off.

I think DJ Mike made the comment why is everyone bashing on Stick, Tricky, & Bang - Sticky, Tricky & Bang; let me share my reasons....
1. I don't like children singing in eurobeat. I can't stand the idea. (Giacomo Caria is excluded from this comment, since he's around 17-18 )
2. The song is rather annoying.
3. It comes off as generic to me.
