Songs that prove even great bands can do some really bad things.

If we're allowed to tread lightly on Zeppelin, I'd have to say Immigrant Song. Way too much thunder and Plant's 'vocal' is nails on the blackboard to me. Not a fan of the band so a lot of their songs grate on my nerves, but Immigrant Song is the worst

I could not agree more with all of this.

I prefer singers who can hit both high notes and low notes. Singers who can rock and sing ballads. Guys like Chris Cornell and Lou Gramm.

"Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine." There are probably a half dozen Beatles songs that I don't care if I ever hear again. But they recorded 213 songs, so I'm gonna shut up.

I Can't Tell You Why is the only song on The Long Run that I can listen to

Those Shoes is great.

In the City doesn't do much for me on the radio, but is one of their best songs live. Walsh just nails a solo on this in concert.

A couple ultra misses in the hip hop genre:

Worst song on a landmark album for 90s kids:



A throwaway turd from a greatest hits album:

Aerosmith - Dude Looks Like A Lady / Pink is My favorite Color / Don't want to miss a thing
KISS - I was made for loving you / World without heroes
Police - De Do Do DO Da Da Da
Queen - We are the champions / Radio Ga Ga
Van Halen - Dreams
Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell

 

[Blue-ish]

J. Geils Band - Centerfold

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell

WTF!!!!

 

[christophero]

I like all these songs ha

 

[catsfanbgky]

WTF!!!!

The background vocals of the ladies singing "Yea yea yea, ooh hoo hoo, whoa yea" just does not fit LS.

 

[FirewithFire]

Anything Metallica after the "Black Album".

 

[BlueManToo]

I was gonna say ‘fool in the rain’.

For drummers, Bonham’s shuffle in this song is legendary, though. There are other drummers who may have had more speed or technical chops, but Bonham’s feel, power, time, and iconic grooves make him the best hard rock drummer to ever sit behind a kit IMHO.

The Beatles- Back In The USSR.
Bruce Springsteen-Dancing in the Dark
Billy Joel-Uptown Girl.
The Beach Boys-Their entire catalog

Terrible take, Glenn. One of the worst I’ve seen. “Dancing in the Dark” is okay, and The Beach Boys? “God Only Knows” is consistently ranked as one of the best rock songs of all time. What the heck is wrong with you, man?

 

[BMoore2]

I called them a great band. It's just that all of their songs stink. To be honest, I've never listened to them much. I just know how much I hate Barbara Ann and Surfin USA that nothing else they do can make up for it.

Then you’ve listened to surfer songs, and not the real Beach Boys stuff.

To me, this wins and it's the first thing I thought of. Granted, the rest of the band had nothing to do with it but it's stunning that that "song" is a part of the GNR catalog. Someone in the YT comments said it sounds like Dave Mustaine trying to rap.
