I used to hate this, but now I don't really mind it.
I used to hate it too. I don't hate it anymore, but I certainly don't love it. It's just a little cringeworthy, but in an endearingly clumsy way as opposed to just being an absolute car crash. It's probably not even the least good song on my chart, I just thought of this one straight away so I posted.
Whaddit I done.. I don't really hate it like I used to, but it's still an anticlimactic end to an amazing album.
While Sung Tongs isn't on my chart, I always think of this song as the quintessential "bad song on a good album". I mean it's not awful but what made them think it was a good idea to end the album with it? Sung Tongs has some of Animal Collective's finest moments (Winter's Love, We Tigers, Kids on Holiday) and it could have been the 3rd best AnCo album if it had a stronger closer.
Regarding albums that are on my chart, I'd agree with what Saoirse said. As it gets larger I may let a few bad songs slip by but for now there are no obvious choices.
Yeah, I agree with Yellow Submarine and Well, Well, Well. Those are terrible songs.
The first song on The Bends pretty much sux, doesn't it? I always skip it.
Though I think the worst on my chart would have to be Pluto by Bjork. I can't even listen to that song.
I too, can't relate with the people who say no bad songs on their albums. I only really listen to half of August and Everything after. The rest isn't terrible just kinda boring ๐ (but the other half I like A LOT)

Well Well Well is awesome. Just saying. Actually, of those four songs, only one is even the worst song on the album it's from (Silver).
I also happen to think Planet Telex is one of the best songs off The Bends. Along with Fake Plastic Trees, it's the most forward-looking track on the album.
Come on. I understand that they are your 100 favorite albums, but you're telling me there isn't one song on any of them you don't like? Like I said before, there's no way in hell I've heard 100 albums that have zero songs I don't at least dislike a little. Sure there are a handful, but I bet in my entire lifetime I'll never find 100 such albums. For example, you like this song?
Maybe you do, and that's fine, but I'm just pulling one song out of the albums we have in common. I have Illinoise on my overall chart because it's a brilliant ride that paints a picture in my head that few other albums do, but there's a couple songs in there (if you can call them that) that I can definitely do without. It doesn't change the fact that overall it's still one of my favorite albums of all time. The rest is that good.
But even if I'm wrong and there are no songs on your overall chart you dislike, you can still post your least favorite, hence the worst song on your chart in your eyes.
I mean, there are plenty of songs on those albums that I would never listen to on their own, but no, there's not a single song on any of those albums that I straight up dislike in its context. Maybe I'm more of a stickler about this than most people, but I can't genuinely say I love an album if there is an entire song on it during which I'm thinking "Man, I can't wait for this song to be over".
And yes, I do like that song. It's pretty, relaxing, etc. Like I said, I wouldn't listen to it on its own, but I don't see why you would actively dislike it if you like the rest of the album.

Of course we will all have our own opinions about this. What's sad is that Yellow Submarine is probably the second most well-known Beatles song in China (I live in China by the way). First is Hey Jude
I don't actually see it as a song, more of an interlude, and I actually love it, especially the first line which I quote all the time. It's up there with BIG Interlude as one of my favourites.
Worst song is on my #1 album, first half is good but second half is impossible to listen to, it's horrible.
