Oasis - Magic Pie - One of the reasons why there will always be critics of Be Here Now, not one of their stronger albums. No, I certainly don't dig your shoes, sorry.

Emerson Lake and Palmer - Love Beach from the album of the same name. Damn it, maybe I can just throw in the whole damn album but I get too much of kick out of how hilariously bad "Taste of My Love" is.

Unknown Soldier

You keep on mentioning that poor old ELP album, leave it alone

Rolling Stones (Brian Jones era) - Sing This All Together (and See What Happens) - how NOT to fill up an album no matter how many good guitar licks the Human Riff can throw in. The ultimate skip track from an otherwise alright album that I still listen to more than The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper. While thinking of that...

The Beatles - When I'm 64. Don't want to think about it any more. At least "Wild Honey Pie" had a thumping beat to it and "What's the New..." had a little of John's warped lyrics going on. The cover by George Burns in the Sgt. Pepper movie only made it worse. Music Hall at it's weakest, thankfully what came next is the wonderful "Lovely Rita." The only good use for that song was as a sample in The Beastie Boys' godlike "Sounds of Science."


Maybe I can throw in "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" as well.

To know it is to dis it.
Hey, it was the 99 cent special of all time, and as this thread is about Worst Songs by Good Bands, how could I not mention it? (Yeah, I like ELP) At least I'm mentioning it in the right topic for once.

If you head on over to the "What Are You Listening To?" threads, you can tell that I have left it alone. I don't want to have a nightmare about being in a Goodwill filled with Love Beach Satin Tour Jackets.

Blur - Turn it Up - Blur are one of the greatest bands of all time, but if you're going to introduce anyone to their music, by all means don't play this skip track from the otherwise classic Modern Life is Rubbish. Sometimes easy targets are too true.

Blur - Ernold Same - I like The Great Escape, seriously, but this is a definition of a skip track.

Love (first three albums) - Orange Skies - Yes, I love Love, but to me Da Capo was the album that killed a lot of momentum built up by the first album. Most of Side One is still classic Love, but Bryan's song filled with "carnivals and cotton candy" was a bit cheesy despite a strong performance by the band.

Love (first three albums) - Revelation - Should have been recorded in it's natural element, live. Sadly, the version we get is a lumbering 18:57 of a lot of genius talent being wasted.

Easybeats - Hello, How Are You - In their early days, they rocked. Then...this...ballad. The work of a band understandably trying out different styles in a time when the music scene changed, this seriously was an ill fit despite the fact that it was a hit in some areas of the world. Still, this Soap Opera style pretty much killed a lot of hope in getting their true rocking selves succeed again.

Seeds - Six Dreams - From the ill-fated Future album that tried to show that the Two Chord Per Song Garage Punk legends could fit in with the Summer of Love, this was proof enough that it was the wrong way. The other (occasionally pretty good) tracks at least had a beat, some WTF instrumentation and Sky's snarl, this was just someone messing about with a Sitar as someone overdubs wind sound effects while Sky sounds more drunk than Psych and another Seed lightly lightly bangs a gong in a way that does not make the listener want to get it on. I have not heard A Spoonful of Seedy Blues, which has been reported as Sky's worst 60's moment, but I don't think that it's hard to top this one in this thread.

Byrds ('65-'68) - 2-4-2 (The Fox Trot Song) - Pure album filler from the otherwise great Fifth Dimension album. All you need to know: The sound of jets, a nice but ineffective guitar lick, and "Gonna fly a Lear Jet, baby/Gonna fly a Lear Jet" repeated over and over. Note: if you are going to repeat some words over and over, at least go over the top not go into a slumber.

Any Guns 'N' Roses tune

Howard the Duck

now that's a paradox

this is a thread wanting worst songs by a "good" rock band

yet you're saying they're all bad which means they weren't a good band to begin with

try to make some sense here
