Sparks - Young Girls

"Smart Girls" would have topped my list too, but I'm not sure unreleased bootlegs should count

Fair enough. It is probably the worst song I've ever heard by someone I love. Geir already nominated Student Demonstration Time which is a great call, especially as it ruins the flow of one of my favourite albums of all time.

Morrissey - He Cried

- "Lost in the Supermarket" by the Clash
― Alex in NYC (vassifer)

nonsense!

PSB -Winner thirded. Everything about it is awful.

Rock the Shack and Slow Jam - New Order

I'm pretty forgiving with regards to New Order but those two songs pushed me over the edge. Truly horrible.

from Slow Jam:

The afternoon was very clear
The sun was beating down on me
I got thirsty for a beer
Then I had to go to sea
The sea was very rough
It made me feel sick
But I like that kind of stuff
It beats arithmetic

Stole it from an old Ian Curtis notepad

A pair of blotch-on-their-career abominations from legendary artists, made all the more loathsome because they were so popular:

Frank Sinatra - "Love and Marriage"
Chuck Berry - "My Ding-A-Ling"

- "Lost in the Supermarket" by the Clash
― Alex in NYC (vassifer)

nonsense!

It's not fucking nonsense. It's a song I've always hated by band I've always loved. Your perception of logic and sense plays no role in the proceedings.

I hate that song and everything else by the Clash.

Love Roy Orbison but not a fan of Pretty Woman at all.

"My Dingaling" ftw.
Alex in NYC, good to see you posting again....
What's not to like about Pretty Woman? is it the overexposure?

Tim Buckley - Gypsy Woman

Tim Buckley - "My Ding-a-Ling"

Paint a Vulgar Picture - The Smiths
There's a World - Neil Young
Crazy Lady Blue - Todd Rundgren/Utopia
Cousin Dupree - Steely Dan

Earth Wind & Fire: I'll Write A Song For You

Kraftwerk: almost anything off The Mix, but especially Pocket Calculator

Steely Dan: Slang Of Ages

ABC: 4 Ever 2 Gether

Prince: Dinner With Delores

The Blue Nile: Sentimental Man

Harry Nilsson “Coconut”

“Rock the Shack” by New Order

David Bowie's cover of 'Across the Universe' might be the only bad song he released in the '70s. Also much of his first album is astonishingly bad (way worse than his '80s stuff, which is mostly just boring at its worst).
