Least favourite song by your favourite artist/band?

I'll start. Too Dizzy - David Bowie. Ugh

 

Beatles-3-way tie...A Taste Of Honey/Bad Boy/Dizzy Miss Lizzy
CCR-Nighttime Is The Right Time
Stones-My Girl
...to be honest, it's hard to pick from any other bands/artists..but the ones from these three have always stood pretty definitive.

 

The beach boys : summer means new love. The orchestration to my mind was lacking. It sounded like something that you would find on those awful Hollyridge Strings albums. Of course Brian Wilson saved the day by using the melody and adding lyrics on his latest album

 

The Moody Blues - Rock'n'Roll Over You

 

Atrocity Exhibition--Joy Division

 

The Who-Cobwebs and Strange
The Beatles-What Goes On
Jethro Tull-17
CCR-Tie between all the Clifford/Cook "compositions" on Mardi Gras

 

Beatles - Dizzy Miss Lizzy
Amy Grant - Hats

 

Genesis - Whodunit?
Rush - I Think I'm Going Bald
Joe Satriani - Woodstock Jam

 

I absolutely love Atrocity Exhibition!

 

Roxy Music - Whirlwind
The Beatles - Little Child

 

The Beach Boys - "Bull Session With The 'Big Daddy'"

 

Bowie - I'm Afraid of Americans.

 

I was waiting for that . . . I happen to love Tull's "17" and "What Goes On." The world is still round, clearly!

 

As far as songs that were popular by them, I'd go with:

Slow Ride for Foghat

Lola for the Kinks

Takin Care Of Business for BTO

And the remade version of Candle In The Wind that Elton John did when Princess Diana died. I understand and appreciate the feelings and the sentiment, just don't like the song.

-Pat

 

Black Sabbath "Rock n Roll Doctor" Honky Tonk and Cowbell DO NOT belong in a Sabbath song.

 

1984 - Bowie
Straight Ahead - Jimi Hendrix
Dyer Maker - Led Zeppelin
Whatever Gets You Through the Night - John Lennon
Flying - The Beatles

 

Randy Newman - "Mikey's"
The Beach Boys - "Hey, Little Tomboy"
Paul McCartney - "Freedom" ("Biker Like an Icon" at least has a decent melody)

Jeff

 

Stole a little of my thunder with the favorite band so I'll come up with another one instead. Can't pick anything off the classic 7, that would be.....well.....blasphemous. So I'll go with Top Rank Suite off Octave. But as an exercise I'll pick one off the classic 7......and the winner is.........Don't You Feel Small from AQOB. If I was forced that is.

 

Queen - Pain is So Close to Pleasure

 

Frank Zappa - The Jazz Discharge Party Hats

 

surely whirlwind is better than some of the crap they did post siren

 

I disagree.

 

Fair enough! Out of curiosity what is your favourite album of theirs?

 

The only song from the entire Moody Blues' "core 7" LPs that I don't like much is To Share Our Love from On the Threshold of a Dream. I don't care much for Top Rank Suite off Octave either. And I don't really like anything off subsequent LPs.

Similarly for the Bee Gees, the only song off their 1967-69 period (the only period I really like) that I don't like is My Thing off Cucumber Castle. Ugh.

Genesis, 1970s: don't like Dance on a Volcano or Los Endos off Trick of the Tail.

 

Kiss - "I was made for loving you". I wish they never made that song.
