We've been enjoying the Village Voice blog's month-long countdown of the top 50 worst songs of the decade. And we'll admit that their selection for the vilest track of the past 10 years nearly brought us to our knees with the painful memory that the song ever happened: the Counting Crows' cover of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi."Their bouncy, Lite FM version of the 1970 folk classic offers so much to hate, chiefly the presence of Adam Duritz. Also, the song selection itself. I mean, why cover a tune that sucked to begin with?
So we ask our readers a simple question: What songs made you itch with anger in the 2000s? While you're thinking ("Fergalicious," anyone?), click through and watch the terribly irksome Counting Crows video.

HE may be unwilling to give up on their marriage, but SHE is ready to bolt, and who could blame her? One woman, maybe, with real feelings, but a gaggle of whores with no goal but to gain notoriety? Of course Elin should leave with the kids. He'll never change. What I don't understand is what Elin ever saw in Tiger to begin with; he's got a stupid clown face and wears those stupid polo shirts. Ugh.

Black Eyed Peas, "My Humps." Everytime I hear this song I want to destroy whatever device it is emanating from. I almost had to burn my computer one day when it somehow came up on a Pandora playlist I was listening to....

I would concur that the Counting Crows' cover of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" might very well be the worst song of the decade (even though this one still has another year to go), but it's still not as bad as the original.

Wait-I thought every decade the winner was always going to be the 'tard(or 'tardess) that takes a whack at MacArthur Park. Ah, yes, Carrie Underwood is the culprit this decade-bitch couldn't leave it alone, could she.
