Worst song by your favorite musician (nod to DDM)

[Shellhead]

What was the worst song by your favorite musician or band?

[Ilash]

Revolution 9 of course.

Siouxsie & the Banshees, "O Baby"

It is a good pop song, but, unfortunately, "O Baby" is not a Siouxsie & the Banshees song. Kylie Minogue or even Britney Spears could have recorded "O Baby." However, I find "O Baby" just a symptom of the band falling apart at the seams (Severin only contributed 3 songs to The Rapture sessions). Ironically, the b-side song for "O Baby" is "B-Side Ourselves" which is far more interesting than blah radio friendly fluff that you would expect from Siouxsie & the Banshees. The band was just seemed to be running on automatic. Given the band dissolved in 1996, it seems to be true.

Seems like since I'm a huge G'n'R freak I'll name " My World " as the worst song the band ever did. They put out 2 albums full of wide ranging materials. But I think they really shot thier load after the 10th or 11th song on Use Your Illusion II.

[Conn Seanery]

I'll never forget the first time I heard U2's "Angel of Harlem". Up until then, as far as I was concerned, they could do no wrong. I was quite shocked.

[Buried Alien]

Revolution 9 of course.

That's not really a *song*, however.

I never really dug "Good Night", the last song on the WHITE ALBUM, however. Maybe it's intended to, but that track always puts me to sleep.

Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

[Sanagi]

Pink Floyd's whole "Ummagumma" studio album comes to mind.

[Eliot Johnson]

Pink Floyd's whole "Ummagumma" studio album comes to mind.

I really don't understand all the hate directed at that album. it's awesome. certainly better than anything after Dark Side.

anyway, i don't really dislike a single song by Syd Barrett (my favorite artist), so I guess I'll go with "Ripcord" by Radiohead

[Grant]

I could do without "Shiny Happy People" by R.E.M.

Pavemet and Sonic Youth have a lot of failed experiment songs but none I can think of that I absolutely loathe.

[Dennis K]

Tuscon, Arizona by Rory Gallagher was the first one that sprang to mind.

When I first heard that song I absolutely refused to believe it was U2.

The first Springsteen song I ever disliked (and the only one up till he started recording without the E Streeters) was "Drive All Night".

"Through the wind, through the rain, the snow, the wind, the rain..."

Nice rhyme scheme.

True enough but that's the only Beatles "song" that I don't really like at all. Otherwise, I think I'll have to go for Mr Moonlight.

Oh and Good Night is a lullabye so I would say that yes, it is supposed to put you to sleep.

[Alex]

Radiohead's Hunting Bears...though it can be debated that it's not really a song.
And they have done some real crap in that vein, but that one sticks out as being hilariously bad.

[Spike-X]

The first Springsteen song I ever disliked (and the only one up till he started recording without the E Streeters) was "Drive All Night".

"Through the wind, through the rain, the snow, the wind, the rain..."

Nice rhyme scheme.

The ladies dig it, though.

Drive All Night started as part of the improvised section in the middle of Backstreets during the Darkness On The Edge Of Town tour. It should have been left there, I think.

Nice sax by Clarence, though.

And the only Springsteen songs I particularly dislike are from the Human Touch/Lucky Town era. Most notably Human Touch and Leap Of Faith ("Your breasts were the altar"? Gah).

[howyadoin]

The ladies dig it, though.Show me 5 examples in the history of rock 'n' roll where women showed good taste.

Hell, I'll even give you one: Joan Jett.
