Maxwell's Silver Hammer by The Beatles.

there isn't worse‽

Are you not counting "Revolution 9" as a "song"? Understandable.

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

number 9?

number 9?

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago

yes!

it's the song that destroyed them. it's stupid and offensive in ways that would make GG Allen blush

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Loved it as kid, bet I'd hate it now.

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.

[–] Feddinat0r@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

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

Mine is queen, too! but the song is Radio Gaga.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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!

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago

strong disagree

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

Queen - Bicycle

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Radiohead - Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

A really fun song live actually.

[–] phant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Ya that's a good one. Still give that album 10/10 tho.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

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.

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.

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

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Green day - the entire uno dos tres albums.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] s@piefed.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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.

Pearl Jam - Daughter

[–] Sparkles@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] JPSound@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Tool - "Forty Six & 2"

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Pink Floyd - Animals

I love almost everything by Pink Floyd, but their entire album Animals is a dud for me. Regardless, I'm pretty sure I have an MP3 copy of the album backed up anyways.

Modest Mouse - Pistol

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

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 months ago

Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2

[–] dkppunk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.
