Starship may have built this city on rock ‘n’ roll, but Blender magazine is tearing it down, naming the band’s “We Built This City” as the worst song ever.

Some tunes on the “50 Worst Songs Ever!” list were selected for their melodies, others “are wretchedly performed” and “quite a few don’t make sense whatsoever,” the magazine said.

The list, which appears in the May issue, includes songs by New Kids on the Block, the Doors, Lionel Richie and the Beach Boys, among others.
