Published 7th Oct 2011

In a new poll conducted by Rolling Stone magazine the 1985 single came out on top of a list of particularly annoying songs recorded in the 80s.

Europe's 'Final Countdown' was, unfairly in our opinion, voted the second worst song of the decade.

Here's the top ten:

1 - Starship - 'We Built This City'

2 - Europe - 'The Final Countdown'

3 - Chris de Burgh - 'Lady In Red'

4 - Wham! - 'Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)'

5 - Men Without Hats - 'The Safety Dance'

6 - Falco - 'Rock Me Amadeus'

7 - Bobby McFerrin - 'Don't Worry Be Happy'

8 - Toni Basil - 'Mickey'

9 - Taco - 'Puttin' On The Ritz'

10 - Rick Astley - 'Never Gonna Give You Up'
