So Im watching The 40 Year Old Virgin, which sucked in my opinion. Relied too heavily on sex, shock, and scandal but light on sex, smarts, and sarcasm. Anyways there was a mockery scene involving an 80's band poster, who's hit song also figured prominently in aforementioned movie. It brought me back to a recent conversation I had about which 80's band named after a continent sucked more (what can I say Im a mental patient). For the purpose of this debate we will include a band who had a hit named after a continent. And now ladies and gentlemen the contestants and their hit song...
- Asia - Heat of The Moment
- Toto - Africa
- Europe - The Final Countdown
As you can see they all sucked, in fact they all sucked very very badly. You may be shocked to know that they all actually have a Greatest Hits album. But who sucked worse?
And no smartass, America doesnt count...those guys ruled!

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
i know these aren't continents, but couldn't we throw Kansas, and possibly Boston into the mix with these guys?
Europe def gets my vote but like Ben Kenobi said: "You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful
than you could possibly imagine" Their music lives on in NBA arenas everywhere.
I know the band the Kelly Family isn't a continent but they represent the gypsy culture who claim no land mass in particular as their home. For that reason they are my choice for number #1.
Asia had some other good songs so they shouldn't be on this list. Only Time will Tell is a good song...they didn't have great songs but a bunch of good songs (ie-Sole Survivor,Aria,etc.). To me they fall into the category as non-offensive rock anyway...like Mike & the Mechanics & The Gin Blossoms or Hootie & the Blowfish.
Toto # 3 (except for Rosanna...I loved that video!) & Europe #2(there is nothing to like about them)
Does Billy Ocean figure into any of this?
leave billy out of this, and asia sucks! i agree that they're not the worst, however i have to put toto as #1 suckiest, then europe and only because europes one song that i know is somewhat better than toto's one song that i know. i'll put Asia last or best for the least suckiest on the list, but sorry fly, they definitely belong there. they really suck.
Dude, get out of my dreams...get into my car? Huh? If Billy Ocean doesn't belong in there, how about Billy Squire? In my opinion, they both really Billy suck. The worst band ever however, has to be Rush. It's a shame too because they are a good band until that unic Getty Lee starts singing...and the lyrics are as bad as it gets. In fact that would be a good name for a mix tape of the suckiest bands from the 60's, 70's, yesterday and today...We should do a real poll to see who would come out on top.
If Australia is a continent / country...do Men At Work qualify for this discussion?
Men at Work are one of the greatest bands of all time. I demand satisfaction sir. If they had made more albums, we'd be talking Beatles, Stones, Men At Work...Oh bother, bother as Poo would say to Eyore...silly ass.
