Band Most Well Known Songs That Are Also Their Worst

Kudos to anyone who nominated Everybody Hurts (wtf?) and Wonderwall (the reason I don't blame people for hating Oasis).

But I don't think there are really many cases where the band's best known song is also its worst. Sure, we hate them because they're overplayed and medicore, but there are some REM songs worse than Everybody Hurts (not by much, but they are worse) and Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't quite as awful as some of the junk on Nevermind.

For that reason, I can't nominate Satisfaction or Rock The Casbah or Hey Jude or even SounRAB Of Silence.

One that comes very close, though, is Marquee Moon. If it wasn't for The Dream's Dream and Little Johnny Jewel, this would be the worst Television song by a country mile.

Another one is Be My Baby. The Ronettes (and Phil Spector) had so many truly great pop tracks (Do I Love You?, Born To Be Together, Walking In The Rain), and this awful piece of fluff is their best known? If it wasn't for So Young, this would be a shoe-in.
 
Led Zeppelin's worst song isn't Stairway to Heaven, but by god its mystique is totally ****ing undeserved.

Every song by KISS.

For some reason, every person I've met who doesn't know like any Beatles song associates them with Yellow Submarine and that pisses me off since I hate Yellow Submarine.

The only song by The Eagles I like is Desperado, and that's only a semi-like, but I despise Hotel California.

Rolling Stone seems to think Heroes is David Bowie's best song. I don't like Heroes.

Satisfaction is a mediocre song TBH. Let it Loose is my favorite Rolling Stones song.

All I can think of for now.
 
I feel that they twisted popular perception about them so that people believed they were first in encyclopaedias. Don't trust aardvarks myself.

Lol.
 
Guitar Hero ruined music. And it's a ****ty game too. All you do is push some buttons and a swivel thing and people are like "WHOA MANG IM SO GEWD AT THE GIT", but if you gave them a guitar, they'd ask why there aren't any coloured buttons.

Prince- even if you've heard everything that has he has released on Sony recorRAB during the bulk of his career in the 80's and 90's you might still not have any idea who he actually is and what he's capable of.
