Summer Of Paradise The Beach Boys

It's considered the worst album by a major artist It deserves a spot. I know you said Far Out isn't a great source however there is another source. I'm not sure if it's that good either. In 1992 The Beach Boys released Summer In Paradise. It was so bad it took them 20 years to put out another album | Louder Jaf23428 (talk) 20:39, 20 January 2025 (UTC) Here's the far out article anyway. https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/summer-in-paradise-how-the-beach-boys-made-one-of-the-worst-albums-of-all-time/[reply]

Far Out magazine isn't usable per WP:NOTRSMUSIC, so you'll need a source that calls it the worst in some capacity in order to have it meet the inclusion criteria. Sergecross73 msg me 21:25, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would say the first one says the worst album by a major artist but it's more of a question "Is Summer of Paradise the worst album by a major band?" So I don't think it really counts. Jaf23428 (talk) 22:57, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why is "What's Up?" 4 Non Blondes on this list?

As far as I'm aware a lot of people like this song. The sources added are all individuals and the huffington post article cited is highly opinionated against overplayed songs. Bucketdono (talk) 03:01, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, differing opinions on music happen, and sources have to be "opinionated" when the topic is a subject being evaluated... Sergecross73 msg me 03:07, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Big Foot" by Nicki Minaj

"Big Foot" should be on this list. Most music critics are saying that it is one of the worst songs of 2024 and one of the worst songs of all time in general. I'm absolutely shocked that this song is not added on this list yet. 2601:40D:101:9D60:710D:7EB9:A8CB:2F9 (talk) 13:13, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to provide reliable sources that directly refer to the song as "the worst" in some capacity and it could be eligible for inclusion. Sergecross73 msg me 14:08, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
