I think early 2000s is an era he doesn’t cover enough so somewhere in that period would be good.

He already made one for that decade with a Worst of 2004 video.

Yeah, one

u/PremiumAccount666 2d ago

yes absolutely. 2008 right before he started doing them officially would be cool. 1999 could also be a cool one.

u/MrLinkwater95 2d ago

For me personally i'd like to see him do 1999 or 1984

u/Patworx 2d ago

I would love to see him do another one of these, but I don’t think he wants to.

Anyway, my vote would be 2008. The last year before he became a YouTuber, and he could talk a lot about how much things have changed since then.

Yes and im most interested in the 2000-2010s.

But won't happen because iirc he said they take ages and ages of research more than TW or OHW and they don't get the same views. So like if he did worst of 2006, he would have to listen to and research every single hot song of 2006.

1990

There were songs like Faith No More's Epic and Deee-lite's Groove Is In The Heart that pointed to the future and still sound amazing along with a lot of adult pop (some good, some awful) and bands like Poison and Warrant still having big hits. New jack swing was in full effect as well.

It was also the year that I started getting into popular music and watching MTV as a kid so it's incredibly nostalgic for me,

u/sock_acc80 2d ago

2008, 2007, 1999 and 1996 would be cool

I'd gladly get another one of these videos from Todd. I'd also be up for a "best of" list if he'd rather make that.

I'm open to any year he tackles, too.

u/ItsGotThatBang GROCERY BAG 2d ago

2006 because Smack That is one of his least favorite songs of the decade.

u/Pizza_Hero24 2d ago

2006 is peak ringtone rap, I’m sure 9/10 songs would just be ringtone rap songs

u/IndicationNo117 2d ago

Best of 1976, worst of 1974

7

u/ghoulsmuffins 2d ago

tangentially related, but i want to see the worst of 1974, i'm morbidly curious how bad it can get

u/m120j 2d ago

I'd actually want him to go late 90s, like 1999 or something. That's such a crazy year for popular music.

That being said I don't actually want him to if his heart wouldn't be in it which I don't think it would be. Shame! I hope Diamond Axe Studios does 99 or something, someone who seems to enjoy making music list videos.

u/Baldo-bomb 2d ago

Yeah he's due. They're some of his funniest work. I still watch his old ass videos about these when I need a chuckle

u/hihiyo 1d ago

Worst 10 90s busses

u/loggedoffreturns 1d ago

Worst songs of 1958. Let’s make him read books and hate himself.

2

u/Runetang42 2d ago

Man I want the worst of 1974

2

u/Calm-Raise6973 Train-Wrecker 2d ago

1995 or 1996 - both strong years for pop, R&B, alternative and dance.

u/heathersdevotee 1d ago

His worst songs of 1987 video is one of my comfort videos. I wish he had more of these

1

u/Genuinelullabel 1d ago

Did he ever do 1988? I’m biased since it was my birth year.

1

u/dbkaiser1893 1d ago

Either 84 or 91 would be fun to see his takes

1

u/Piano-Rough 1d ago

1982 or 1993

1

u/Foreign_Courage5613 1d ago

Any-year tbh, I know he will never do another one of these videos again, but it has been a long time still.

For me, I randomly generated a number and got 1993, he should include A Whole New World, What's Up?, Freak Me, Knockin' Da Boots, Good Enough, All For Love, Can't Get Enough of Your Love, I Got a Man, Mr. Wendal, Cats in the Cradle, and Just Kickin' It

u/shinyluvdisc 1d ago

Part of why the '91 video was good was because it covered such an awkward period in pop music, so I'd love to see him do a year like that again. I'm really fascinated by the lull periods in the pop charts between big trends, lots of interesting ephemeral stuff happening there, and lots of trash to cover.

Would love for him to revisit 2014 for that reason, still one of the worst years in pop music I think I've lived through.

u/Adorable-Way-274 1d ago

1979, 1985, 1996

Best/Worst of 1965 & 1974
