Awful songs by bands you love

[Bill Walker]

Always loved Yes.
But Owner of a Lonely Heart was bobbins

Always loved Yes.

Never really recovered from the Buggles period regardless of the commercial success of 90125.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Sham 69
Hurry up Harry

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Oasis - She Is Love.

Little James is the worst song Oasis did, but that was the first song Liam ever wrote and was included for sentimental reasons. Noel however should have known better and there's something about this song that really grates on me!

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

I love nearly everything The Beatles did.
But I can't stand, Only A Northern Song, It's all Too Much and Old Brown Shoe.
All 3 are George Harrison songs.

Oddly, I think “It’s all too much” is terrific.

The Beatles major “no-no’s” for me include

1. Lovely Rita
2. Martha my dear
3. Revolution no.9
4. Piggies
5. Within you, without you
6. Act naturally
7. Honey don’t
8. Little child
9. When I get home

1 & 2 - McCartney at his sentimental, twee, saccharine worst.
3 - Lennon at his pretentious, avant-garde worst, criminally wasting 8 minutes of the White Album that could have gone to Hey Jude.
4 - Harrison doing the same thing as Lennon. What possessed him to favour it over “Sour milk sea” I have no idea.
5 - Harrison indulging his India obsession with a boring 5 minute blob of sitar’s and tabla’s that has no place on a rock album.
6 & 7 - Why the Beatles chose to waste a track on all their early albums by letting Ringo Starr sing some knockabout track is a mystery. The worst offerings on Beatles for Sale and Help respectively
8 & 9 - Two early throwaway numbers by Lennon that try too hard for that Beatles sound in my opinion. Sound like he wrote them in 5 minutes flat, and again, how they got the nod over “A world without love” or “One and one is two” is baffling

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

I loved Oasis, still do. However, I hate this song:



Awful!

Wonderwall’s the one for me. An absolute dirge

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Always loved Yes.
But Owner of a Lonely Heart was bobbins

Wakeman refers to it as “Owner of a Horse and Cart”

 

[Ric]

All For One by The Stone Roses. Dreadful.

Hey Jude would never have been a single if it had been on the 'White album'

Can't Buy Me Love by The Beatles
Girlfriend by Michael Jackson

Both written by Paul McCartney who is a top 5 songwriter.
