Black Sabbath - Paranoid (I think this song is average at best)

I don't know about 'worst', but overplayed to the point you want to kick the radio than yes I agree.

Prefab Sprout's 'King of Rock and Roll'. Eughh.

Oh right .. He did? Dang.

Anyways, not all of Buckethead's stuff is easily accessible. I guess my tastes might be a little different from his.

I'm also not a big fan of his Nottingham Lace which seems to be a popular one with fans. I do like songs like Soothsayer (very much!) and Final Wars (from Crime Slunk Scene and The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock respectively).

Stairway to Heaven. It's probably not Led Zeppelin's worst, but I really really don't like it.

That's because primary schools forced our generation to sing along to Yellow Submarine and Octopus' Garden with the rest of the class - while the former has been absolutely ravaged, the latter is still somewhat untarnished in my eyes.

I wonder if little kids will be chanting along to Souljah Boy in a couple of decades time?

But are they their most well known songs. Everytime I talk to people that supposedly "listen to Maiden," they start talking about how "cool" number of the beast is, and how it's about the devil.

Well no ****ing **** sherlock.

Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town.

Average song, nothing spec, plenty of better Lizzy songs.

REM - Everybody Hurts.. already mentioned, but awful

Rolling Stones - Satisfaction... painful.
