The Seventies produced some of the best music of all time – David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Queen, the Clash, Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Kraftwerk and Parliament/Funkadelic, to name a few, not to mention the rise of disco and punk. But like any decade, there was a lot of awful music too. Our question for you this week is: What is your least favorite song of the Seventies?

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
