I was hoping for 1992 or 1996, but the top two songs on this list deserved to be torn a new one so badly that I'm not disappointed at all. You even made a convincing case for #8, which I was a little surprised to see. Great video.
I'm not one to insist on more of these retro top 10's - I know they take a lot of time to make - but if you could manage one per year like you used to, we would make it well worth your time, Todd.

I actually like the song you picked as the #1 worst, but I love your videos way more than the song, so all is forgiven. And for the record, Prince of Thieves is an amazing movie (no, I haven't watched it since I was an adult, lol)

Oh God, number 1 is one of my most hated songs of all time! The amount of alcohol I'd need to enjoy that song would probably kill me. AAaagghhh!!
I noticed in the intro you showed a short clip of "I Touch Myself" by Divinyls! I was so worried you were gonna put that on the list. I love that song! They may have been a one-hit-wonder in America, but here in Australia they were a huge deal. Their songs "Boys in Town" and "Pleasure and Pain" are still on heavy rotation for any oldies station. They were really influential, winning a ton of awards and making it into the Aria Hall of Fame (along with other really famous Aussie acts like ACDC, The BeeGees and - not kidding - The Wiggles).
Anyway, great job and great video! I missed these top 10 lists! My favourite one you've ever done is the 2004 one. "F### It I Don't Want You Back" was a monster hit in Australia. There was also a follow-up single by an artist called Frankee called "F U Right Back" same awful song, except from the girl's point of view. So many horrible horrible memories…

I'm suddenly feeling a deep, intense shame for the year I was born in after watching this video.

Oh god. I and the rest of my class had to sing #2 during my graduation from 8th grade.

Well of course we know it requires a tonne of research and editing, but our enjoyment of these top ten lists allows us to ignore your complaints :3.
Still it is really awesome to see you do top ten lists; though probably you should do this like once every three months, just so that you would a lot of time to make them and do the necessary research. But that's just my ten cents on the matter Mr. In the Shadows. :o
