It makes them seem like an unserious band.
Ween - Candi.
It’s a Ween song though so it’s still pretty legit in its own way.
I’m reviewing the whole Ween catalogue in my brain right now and I think you might be right. Reaggejunkiejew might be a close 2nd.
Ween - Spiritwalker
Can’t stand the auto tune, but it’s not as bad live.What do you think about Friends then 😝
The Beatles Maxwell's Silver Hammer
I cannot tell you how much I hate this song. And to think that it was the catalyst that was the final straw for Lennon and killed the band. There are other Beatles songs that I hate but this one rises to a whole new level.
Interesting choice. The Beatles have a few songs that I think they missed the mark in but usually it's when an experiment didn't quite work. This one is just bad lol. Almost every time I listen to Sgt Pepper I end up skipping Within You Without You
Gorillaz – Sweepstakes
Plastic Beach is my favorite album but I always skip that track cuz it's so gratingDang, for me it's Glitter Freeze. I can definitely see Sweepstakes being grating though
Glitter Freeze is also quite repetitive and not my favorite track, but I actually like the synth loops in it. It should have been developed a bit more or shortened imho
Muse - Big Freeze
Although there are a few equally awful songs by them. I chose Big Freeze because they had just toured with U2 and then came along with this U2 sounding song that just sucked and i dont like U2
R.E.M. and Shiny Happy People. It's just so out of place, especially on an otherwise great album.
I read somewhere that that was the whole point. Their label or manager complained that all of their songs were dull and depressing and why can't they make something that's chart friendly, so that's what they did. If you listen to the lyrics while knowing the back story you can pretty much hear the sarcasm oozing from every syllable.
Not that I can find any reference to it now, of course, but that's what I read/heard and it makes the song 10 times better.
Yeah, I could definitely imagine that. Still don't really like it though :-)
Kate Pierson sort of makes the video for me but yeah it's a vapid song.
It is. I did see a theory that it was actually a very (too?) subtle commentary on the Tiananmen Square Massacre, but I'm not sure I believe it tbh.
One of the guys from The Monkees recently covered this and it and it gave me a new found respect for this song.
Oh cool, I'll need to check that out.
Metallica & Ja Rule - We did it again.
Yes, Metallica did a song with Ja Rule. You might not like their newer stuff, but I'd rather force myself to listen to the whole St. Anger album than this piece of utter garbage.
Wow. Worse than Lulu?
Above & Beyond - Excuses is the one I have to go with. They have some other songs that miss the mark but this one is particularly grating and gets a skip from me every time.
I met Jono and Tony randomly in a club toilet in the early 2000's. I was mashed off my tits so I'm not sure the conversation was riveting or enlightening for any of us.
Lmao, this comment gave me a good laugh. I'm sure they were absolute chaps though
I can't pick just one favorite, so I'll choose one of them. Porcupine Tree, and the song Draw The Line. Not because it's the worst in their entire catalogue, but it's so jarring hearing it right in the middle of a concept album. It just takes you out with how different it sounds to the rest of the songs.
I love this album. Putting it on now, thanks for the reminder. :)
I first got turned onto Ghost earlier this year, and while I really like the retro tongue-in-cheek cheesiness of a lot of their stuff, The Twenties just leans a little too hard into sounding like it came out of a rock-themed Broadway show.
Btw, I just read a comment on C/trees about taking a listen to your favorite band's worst song while high... 😉
Verscheuring in de schemering by fluisteraars. A twenty minute long song, which in it self isn‘t bad at all, but the song as a whole just doensn‘t seem to have a structure and flow.
I listened to it a couple of times as a whole but it just doesn‘t tick for me.
The rest of their discography is amazing though
Oh god. I didn't know German death metal existed. This is horrendous.

Fluisterrars is a dutch black metal band :)
Streetlight Manifesto. Toe to Toe is probably their weakest song. Kinda slow, lyrics aren't great.
Christina She Don't Know I Exist is pretty bad, but I'll give them a bit of a pass because they wrote it when they were about 17 years old.
Personally I don't care for If And When We Rise Again. Song takes too long to get started, and doesn't sound that great compared to the rest of the album. I don't care for most of the 99 Songs covers either, besides a few.
Green Day - Here Comes the Shock
Radiohead - every song that isn’t creep
Mr Fastfinger feat. Jordan Rudess: Spirit Hunt. Good guitar music with Rudess in keyboards. Although the song sucks. I mean it goes from one idea to another. It has no musical motif which I would like it to have.
Pearl Jam - Pry, To
Currently on a clipping. binge, and I cannot stand the song “Get Up” even though the verses are written wonderfully. I just can’t stand the alarm tone. Too grating.
My favorite band is probably WHY?, and my answer for them is the entire Eskimo Snow album. Just… bad stuff, sandwiched between two albums that are completely incredible.
Nine Inch Nails. Excluding any of their most recent stuff, Starfuckers, Inc. has always been my least favorite song off their classic albums. Down in It isn't much better, either
Down in it is so bad it's good. If you don't take it seriously, it's actually funny.
I quite like Starfuckers. It has a "Perfect Drug" vibe/beat to it.
I fucking hate Marilyn Manson though.
