In reply to the discussion: Worst song by a major artist [View all]Aristus
(66,316 posts)22. Going obscure here: "More Than This" by Chris De Burgh.
The guy who wrote "The Lady In Red", which people seem to either love or hate. I've been a fan of his for about thirty years, and he has some great stuff. (Not TLIR, which I think is only so-so).
"More Than This" seems to be an endorsement of adultery. Not so shocking, since this is popular music we're talking about here. But from the nice, unthreatening, sweater-wearing pop troubadour Chris De Burgh, it's a little off-putting.

I was going to say "Don't Go Breaking my Heart" by Elton John, but Island Girl is right up there!
