Worst Hit Songs by Artists You Like

Another one - "Modern Woman," by Billy Joel. "Though the song was quite successful, Joel has since said in interviews he does not care for it." Amen. I've never heard it on the air, either. I dislike most of the hits from An Innocent Man, but they have decent lyrics, whereas "Modern Woman" just stinks.

^ Yes and yes again. Not to mention Common fucking People by Pulp as well. Talking of Blur, I'm also getting to that point with the title track off Parklife as well.

Also;

Elvis Costello - She (boooooorrrrrring)
David Bowie - Space Oddity (sounds so much better in its stripped-down, acoustic form)

The Cure Friday I'm in love. It's **** so is that opening song in the Wish album Open. It's about being drunk at a party or s/t. FFS like we wanna know that Robert! Just go and write another Sinking or Just like heaven.

I love the Smiths, I really do, as evidenced by my tattoos and my avatar, but really I cannot stand these songs and I think they are terrible.

TBWTTIHS is a bit ave. A good song though but one dimensional CG however is sublime. I'm amazed a smiths fan doesn't like it. My brother hates SGABTO which I think is sublime too. Funny how people like and don't like songs.

I disagree.

I hate that one, too, but I didn't include it because that marked the point I stopped I following the band's new releases.

'Friday I'm In Love' is certainly far from being one of their best songs but I certainly don't hate it either. It sounds great when I'm really in the mood for it and sometimes makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. But still it sounds inferior to their other hit singles such as 'Just Like Heaven' and 'Inbetween Days'.

ditto. although I got Bloodflowers when it came out and thought it was pretty good. Watching me fall was epic! I'm gonna catch up on the others on spotify.WMS is supposed to be under-rated acc. to some peeps a/w.
