What is your least favourite song by your favourite band/artist?

Green Day - Fire, Ready Aim

Rush: I'm going Bald

I liked Stacy’s Mom when I first heard it, but after listening to more and Fountains of Wayne over the years, it just makes me angry because it’s the only song of theirs anybody knows! I like that most of their music is about everyday moments and emotions, but the only everyday moment people know is the milf one.

And then I start thinking about Bowling for Soup’s cover of Stacy’s Mom, which is by far the worst cover I have ever heard, not because it’s bad in its own right, but because there are no creative decisions taken, nothing to make it their own, they just do nothing with it and on Spotify it has an entire half of the number of plays as the original. The first time I heard the cover, I didn’t realize until the singing started and I thought the voice sounded a little different. And there are people who don’t even realize Bowling for Soup’s “version” is a cover!

Maxwell's Silver Hammer by The Beatles.

there isn't worse‽
Are you not counting "Revolution 9" as a "song"? Understandable.
- number 9?
  number 9?
yes!
it's the song that destroyed them. it's stupid and offensive in ways that would make GG Allen blush

Queen - Flash Gordon

Mine is queen, too! but the song is Radio Gaga.
- I love that song :(
  Video was pretty dope to boot.
  Edit: I don't care who this upsets. Metro retro will always be dope to me!
strong disagree
Queen - Bicycle

Daft Punk - Brainwasher

Really? Interesting. I think the version on Alive 2007 combined with Alive and Prime Time of Your Life is like the pinnacle of that album.
- The alive 2007 version fits in the live set. That was much better than the song on its own on the human after all album

Radiohead - Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

I maintain that Cake has never released a bad album, but Race Car Ya-Yas on Fashion Nugget is absolute crap. A festering boil on the face of an otherwise unblemished body of work.

Only slightly disagree. It's fine. Far (faaaaaaar) from their best, but its not unlistenably bad.
Opera Singer, tho, now that's a beautiful, beautiful song. Spent a good few months with it stuck in my head more often than not, just daring me not to belt it out at random
Ya that's a good one. Still give that album 10/10 tho.
Sheep go to heaven
- A really fun song live actually.

Green day - the entire uno dos tres albums.

Dream Theater - Anna Lee

It's an alright song, I guess, but it's so far away from their other stuff that I do like, and it's really not my cup of tea.

The first dream theater song that came to my head that I don't like is Viper King lol
- I always saw that song as a tribute to songs like Highway Star. Definitely not my favorite either though

My favourite singer is Enya, and I still haven't listened to the album "And Winter Came" all the way through. Her holiday album.

There's also a holiday edition of Amarantine and I've never heard it.

I have Apple Music. I have access to all of this. When I added Amarantine, the holiday edition shows by default. I scrolled down to "other versions" and selected the original and added that to my library (I also have the physical CD and I've ripped it and the others and many more to the highest m4a/aac fre:ac can do).

I just don't do holiday music. Not a grinch or anything, it's just not for me.

My favorite band (that has done a winter holiday release), kinda totally aced it, so I can't relate on that. But Enya's Day Without Rain is and has long been one of my all-time favorite no-skip albums. Especially Tempus Vernum, lately. My only complaint is that it wraps in under 3 minutes tbh
Edit: links
- If you like Enya in Latin, check out Pax Deorum off The Memory of Trees. Similar energy but almost scary. Name means “peace of the gods”.
  A Day Without Rain, Amarantine, and Dark Sky Island are in my heavy rotation.

Mgła - Age of Excuse I

Not because it’s a bad song, simply because of the noise in the opening seconds. Makes me cringe every time.

Hell yeah, you just made it an "Exercises in Futility" kinda day. Well, musically anyway. I had the rest covered already

Pretty much every studio album Iron Maiden put out after their 7th Son album.

dude you need to check yourself, and listen to Brave New World

Stooges 1st album, 3rd track. Wtf? Ik it was a John Cale throw in, but kills the entire flow of the album.

Everything from NOFX before Fat Mike learned to sing approximately on the third album.

Pearl Jam - Daughter

Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2

Not really my ultimate favorite, but it stands out because it’s one song that ruins the album for me: “Drawing The Line” from Porcupine Tree’s concept album “The Incident”. The sudden tonal shift takes me out of the mood when listening to the album in its entirety.

It's Permanating by Steven Wilson for me, but possibly only because i skipped most of the albums afterwards.

Genesis - Illegal Alien, overly poppy and tasteless for a variety of reasons. If not for the lyrics and racial insensitivity, it would be musically preferable to Who Dunnit

Peter Gabriel - The Story of OVO, I love to see Peter experiment and test out different genres but he does not realize how important flow is to rap/hip hop and his lyrical verbosity got the best of him

Honorable mention: Foreigner - Big Dog, overly repetitive riff, trite and creepy symbolism, and really weird growling by Lou Gramm. The sax solo is good though

Not sure I really have a favourite band. But first thing that came to mind was the salmon dance by the chemical brothers

Apnea by Currents. Love the band, have seen them multiple times in person, and have lots of merch. But it’s an extremely detailed song, and it’s very hard to hear, making it my least favorite. They are a phenomenal metalcore band though.

Why do you want to know this?

I'm telling the FBI what's your favourite band
Wait, is this actually the name of a song, or a genuine question?
EDIT: Nevermind, just looked at your profile.

Modest Mouse - Pistol

It's a classic song to hate on by fans. I don't mind it now, but it's pretty abrasive.

Father to a Son by Green Day

I had a very poor relationship with my father and that song just makes me sad and very angry.

Tom Waits - I Don't Wanna Grow Up

Nick Cave - Any of the moody ambient stuff

Guns and Roses - My World
