Could the Gal Gadot and friends cover of 'Imagine' be a contender?

Imagine (Gal Gadot video)

Considering the timing of the songs release, would it not be considered as an example of the worst song of the 2020's so far? Or does the criteria have to be about fully licenced songs and not unofficial internet covers? 2A02:8084:6AA2:6880:5D42:9384:C9B7:3131 (talk) 21:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reception of that was more that it was out of touch/tone-deaf contextually more than they thought the song itself was bad musically, so I wouldn't think it makes sense for inclusion. Sergecross73 msg me 21:45, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Euro Neuro - weak sources

The sources given for the inclusion of "Euro Neuro" strike me as particularly weak. I wouldn't include this. 2003:D4:DF37:9A87:28A8:2399:B5C2:932F (talk) 05:21, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Removed. Sergecross73 msg me 14:49, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to rename to "List of music notable for negative reception"

By analogy with List of video games notable for negative reception. Sounds more formal than "considered the worst" and perhaps offers a more neutral tinge that doesn't imply art has objective meaning to it. Eliora39770 (talk) 15:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, this article is named different because it documents something different. It's not just negativity, it's publications denoting "the worst" in some capacity. Sergecross73 msg me 16:09, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
