Ween - Candi.
It’s a Ween song though so it’s still pretty legit in its own way.
I’m reviewing the whole Ween catalogue in my brain right now and I think you might be right. Reaggejunkiejew might be a close 2nd.
Ween - Spiritwalker
Can’t stand the auto tune, but it’s not as bad live.What do you think about Friends then 😝

It makes them seem like an unserious band.
Above & Beyond - Excuses is the one I have to go with. They have some other songs that miss the mark but this one is particularly grating and gets a skip from me every time.
I met Jono and Tony randomly in a club toilet in the early 2000’s. I was mashed off my tits so I’m not sure the conversation was riveting or enlightening for any of us.
Lmao, this comment gave me a good laugh. I’m sure they were absolute chaps though
R.E.M. and Shiny Happy People. It’s just so out of place, especially on an otherwise great album.
Kate Pierson sort of makes the video for me but yeah it’s a vapid song.
It is. I did see a theory that it was actually a very (too?) subtle commentary on the Tiananmen Square Massacre, but I’m not sure I believe it tbh.
One of the guys from The Monkees recently covered this and it and it gave me a new found respect for this song.
Oh cool, I’ll need to check that out.
I first got turned onto Ghost earlier this year, and while I really like the retro tongue-in-cheek cheesiness of a lot of their stuff, The Twenties just leans a little too hard into sounding like it came out of a rock-themed Broadway show.
Btw, I just read a comment on C/trees about taking a listen to your favorite band’s worst song while high… 😉
I can’t pick just one favorite, so I’ll choose one of them. Porcupine Tree, and the song Draw The Line. Not because it’s the worst in their entire catalogue, but it’s so jarring hearing it right in the middle of a concept album. It just takes you out with how different it sounds to the rest of the songs.
I love this album. Putting it on now, thanks for the reminder. :)
Muse - Big Freeze
Although there are a few equally awful songs by them. I chose Big Freeze because they had just toured with U2 and then came along with this U2 sounding song that just sucked and i dont like U2
Streetlight Manifesto. Toe to Toe is probably their weakest song. Kinda slow, lyrics aren’t great.
Christina She Don’t Know I Exist is pretty bad, but I’ll give them a bit of a pass because they wrote it when they were about 17 years old.
The Pixies - Here Comes Your Man
Radiohead - every song that isn’t creep
Pearl Jam - Pry, To
Currently on a clipping. binge, and I cannot stand the song “Get Up” even though the verses are written wonderfully. I just can’t stand the alarm tone. Too grating.
My favorite band is probably WHY?, and my answer for them is the entire Eskimo Snow album. Just… bad stuff, sandwiched between two albums that are completely incredible.
Nine Inch Nails. Excluding any of their most recent stuff, Starfuckers, Inc. has always been my least favorite song off their classic albums. Down in It isn’t much better, either
I quite like Starfuckers. It has a “Perfect Drug” vibe/beat to it.
I fucking hate Marilyn Manson though.
Down in it is so bad it’s good. If you don’t take it seriously, it’s actually funny.
