Your Least Favorite Song by Your Favorite Artist

There's always that one song that is just plain bad, even if it is your favorite artist.

For me:

Shoot Shoot -- Dio

Probably Dio's worst chorus of any song ever.

And now, it's you turn.

"Oh My God" - Guns N' Roses

Primus-Mama Didn't Raise No Fool
Just hearing the title makes me want to puke.

Blue Oyster Cult-I Just Like To Be Bad
Every bit as stupid as the title suggests.

Place In Line by Deep Purple

"You Say Yes" by Priest. Terribly lame chorus and a terribly lame song.

Just choosing my favourite artist is hard enough. I couldn't do that, so I'll list my least favourite songs by three bands I love equally:

Iron Maiden - Losfer Words (might be enhanced by the fact it's on one of their best albums, but this instrumental is just useless)

Judas Priest - this is like really impossible... I gave Demolition a listen, and I still like all their songs. Damn. I like ALL their songs. What do I choose? A song I LEAST LOVE is probably Johnny B. Goode and even that is a cover.

Savatage - can I nominate a whole album? Fight for the Rock!

My favorite band is Pagan's Mind - but they honestly don't have a bad song.


So I'll go with three bands I equally love:


Motley Crue - Slice of Your Pie (never cared for this song for some reason)

Alice Cooper - Steal that Car (just a plain bad song)

Ozzy Osbourne - Zombie Stomp (this one shoulda been left off the album)

Queensrÿche - the entire 'American Soldier' album...no, 'O:MII'..no, wait...

Rage - 'Can't Get Out', 'Drop Dead'..wtf?...'The Body Talks'.. (these days, we see Peavy's body has been saying 'Big Mac!')

Rhapsody - Forest of Unicorns (This song is really ga-hey)

King Crimson - ..most stuff in the 80's.

Celtic Frost - you know what album it is..

Darkseed - there are some songs on 'Spellcraft' which feature this woman who... is not in tune, we'll put it that way.....it's pretty wretched..

Pagan's Mind - Osiris' Triumphant Return...intro makes you ready to destroy something, and then...phhbbtbtttt.

I think (or at least hope) we all know what album it is.

I actually like "Cold Lake". A lot.

Savatage - Necrophilia

Pagan Altar and Candlemass don't have any bad songs imo. As for some of my other favorite bands:

KISS - Shandi
Judas Priest - Heavy Metal
Manowar - Achilles, Ecstacy and Agony
Black Sabbath - Am I going insane (Radio)

I'll second that. I like Cold Lake.

First two bands/songs that come to mind:

KISS - Reason To Live (GOD I HATE THAT FRICKIN SONG!)

Judas Priest - Hot For Love (worst song on one of their worst albums)

Judas Priest - Johnny B. Goode.

I like the song Johnny B. Goode, and I love Judas Priest, but this just is a terrible cover of this song and a horrid choice for a single IMO.

My brother, my friend Glenn and I (huge Priest fans all) have had many discussions about which is the absolute Worst Priest Song. Even though I kinda like it myself, "Johnny B. Goode" usually makes the Top 5.

Other candidates would be the aforementioned "Hot For Love," "Wild Nights, Hot & Crazy Days" (ugh!) and "You Say Yes" off of POINT OF ENTRY. I hate the way Rob's voice rises and falls on the chorus of that one -- "Youuu sayyy YEEEEESSSS, I say NOOOOOOOOO..." ....aaaaack!

Midwintertears by Tristania

King's X - 67
U2 - Sweetest Thing
Journey - Lifetime Of Dreams
Kansas - It Takes A Woman's Love (To Make A Man)
Queensryche - Sign Of The Times
Fates Warning - Pieces Of Me
Mr. Big - Colorado Bulldog
The Beatles - Octopus' Garden
Harem Scarem - You Ruined Everything
Judas Priest - United
Iron Maiden - Holy Smoke
Rainbow - If You Don't Like Rock N Roll
Dio - Shoot Shoot
Van Halen - Dirty Movies

Mind you, not all of these are IMO "bad" songs...just ones I don't mind not hearing.

Guns n Roses - Breakdown
Aerosmith - Janie's Got A Gun
Judas Priest - United
Megadeth - Breadline
Anthrax - God Save The Queen / I'm the Man '91 (tie)
Black Sabbath - Am I Going Insane (Radio)
Metallica - Unforgiven II and III
Motley Crue - Time For Change

Yeah, I was never fond of that one either. Though I think I hate "Changes" even more.

I hate the cheesy keyboard on 'Am I Going Insane'. The one Ozzy-era song I skip just about every time. I don't mind 'Changes'.

Stryper - Honestly (Love Stryper. Don't even mind the ballads. Even picked a Stryper ballad for my wedding song. However, this song...)

Judas Priest - Breakin the Law (Not so much that I hate it, but it's far from being one of Priest's best and is sooooo overplayed.)

Anvil - Five Knuckle Shuffle (Huge Anvil fan. Have been since '83. Love most of what they have released and own it all. But seriously, a song celebrating jerking off? What the...?)

Kiss - Plaster Caster (Been a Kiss fanatic since the 70's. I even like the most hated albums by Kiss. However, this song, off their popular Love Gun album, just never floated my boat. Stupid lyrics to boot.)

When the Eagle Cries and Ghost of Freedom by Iced Earth

Motley Crye-Home Sweet Home:I'm a big Crue fan and i'll even admit to somewhat liking thier s/t album and Generation Swine, but this song just never really did much for me, and honestly i'm kinda surprised that this song was ever a hit.

Scorpions-Send Me An Angel:the Scorps were my intro to rock music so I definitely have a fondness for them, I like all of their albums, yes I even like Eye II Eye to a certain extent. But this song just never really clicked with me and IMO it really comes up short compared ot all they're other ballads.

I actually like "Johnny B Goode" and I like how JP changed it up and played it in a very 80s-ish style. I also like "United", "Home Sweet Home", "Send Me an Angel", and "Janie's Got a Gun".

My least favorite (off the top of my head): JUDAS PRIEST - "You Say Yes". Just noticed that thesentinel picked the same one ...
