    Based on a current Who thread here? A strong case is being made for “It’s Hard” to take this honor.

    True. But it's also the best song on the album.

    New Day Rising doesn’t have any worst songs.

    I'd say Let It Be except for the fact that Long & Winding Road is on the same LP...

    Since we're having a bidding war for controversy, I'll offer my (definitely minority) opinion that "Gaucho" is one of the better songs on the album, and that the album is one of Steely Dan's best three, and better than Aja.

    I also agree with CrawdaddySim1 that The Royal Scam's title track is the worst on that album, but "Green Earrings" is close competition.

    Does "(Theme from) The Monkees" count? That's the one from the first LP I won't mind ever hearing again.

    Now, the TV version is fine. Much shorter and less redundant

    That's exactly why it's my favourite album, every track is so good even the weakest one is superb.

    "Wild Life" by Paul...err, I mean, Wings.

    Yes, I like "Bip Bop" and "Mumbo" more!

    Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" but maybe it's just overplayed.

    Rush "Presto" Seriously, that opening line just ... no.

    Yes "Talk"

    It's a great album but that's the only song that doesn't seem to go anywhere.

    I like this little classical ditty which is an interlude, not a song. Least favorite song for me is Plain Truth.

    I love most of Neil's stuff, but I truly hate when Neil plays piano and sings in his squealy voice at the same time. His guitar and voice go together much better.

    One for english folkies.... I think Ralph McTell has serious form here, both Bridge of Sighs and Sand in Your Shoes are good albums, but the title tracks don’t work for me.

    Agree that it's overplayed, but is it really worse than "Have a Cigar"?

    I like piano Neil almost as much as guitar Neil, and I think the title track is the best song on the album even though the lyrics are completely ridiculous. (Somehow Neil is often at his best when singing the most absurd lyrics. "Pocahontas" is another example.) For worst song on ATGR I'd probably choose either "Till the Morning Comes" or "Cripple Creek Ferry".

    Not a bad song although I've probably heard too many times, it's just the 10th best song on a 10 song album.
