A “Q” Bomb, like an “H” bomb, will be my term for a music video that I consider to be subpar in music, video, or both. This will be a recurring weekly list that will focus on the worst videos that are currently on TV. I don’t, as a rule, go searching for old music videos, so that’s why it will focus on solely on current or recent videos.
I hate to be so negative about music, but when an artist takes a “bad” song and then brings more attention to it by creating a “bad” video to support it, it will appear on this list. I honestly hope, and it could happen, that this list will be less than 10 items, but I have serious doubts that that possibility will happen. We are, after all, talking about an industry that uses art for huge profits. The companies can’t help themselves.
However, at this point, I will not do a 10 worst music list. I see absolutely no reason to waste time reemphasizing bad music. Once is enough.

1) “When I Was Your Man”— Bruno Mars spends another week at the top on VH1 so it goes for another week at the top of the bombs list….
2) “I Drive Your Truck”—Lee Brice should send a Thank You note to Bruno Mars since he’s the only reason that he’s not working on setting a record on this list. I suppose there’s still time for that, but I hope not……………
3) “Stay”—Actually, Rihanna and Mikky Echo, you don’t have to “stay.” Feel free to leave………………
4) “Downtown”—I guess Lady A’s “Downtown” isn’t going to do anything for me—ever. I guess I don’t like Hilary Scott as a “bad girl.”
5) “Feel This Moment”—Actually, I don’t feel anything except boredom when I watch Pitbull and Christina Aguilera’s video………………
6) “Two Black Cadillacs”—Carrie Underwood has gone over this territory so many times before. Yawn…………………………………………
7) “Better Dig Two”—Maybe The Band Perry should dig three because this song’s killin’ me……………..
8).“Hold On”—Alabama Shakes is losing their grip. I think this one should fall off next week. Ta-ta………………………….
9) “Just Give Me a Reason”—I am so confused on this video. I don’t know if I should be angry at P!nk or Nate Ruess……..
10) “Stubborn Love”—It was destiny that The Lumineers would appear on this list again. “Ho, Hey” was just too big of a hit. This video showed up on my list several months back, and it hasn’t gotten any better…………..
