Radiohead*- We suck young blood (kind of a dull death march, though the lyrics are funny)
Belle and Sebastian -nice day for a sulk (bland and too twee, even for them)
The Beta Band- The Beta Band Rap (just a silly way to kick off your debut album)
Blur- Bank Holiday (showing off that they can do hardcore punk- urgh)
The Beach Boys- Student Demonstration Time (there were many contenders but only one possible winner)

*I gave all of Pablo Honey a free pass.

Bank Holiday is super fun to me! Surprised

Oï Oï Oï ! Always a bit ironic with Damon, ok. But good (not to mention when played live). And the next song on the tracklist (Badhead) comes so nicely.

Hehe. Yeah Badhead just about excuses Bank Holiiday because they go together. But it still gives me a headache lol

Has to be D'yer Mak'er by Led Zeppelin. Grates so much and just doesn't fit the album.

King for a Day by Green Day. Not a fan of the studio recording, but when it's done live, it isn't bad. I just don;t like talking about it, lol. Why, Green Day?

Heard this one on the radio for the first time in a couple years the other night. Has not aged well. It's really not even that terrible of a song, just wish it wasn't under the label of Yes. No Steve Howe and you can feel it.

I really hate D'yer Maker too. And unfortunately it's on my favorite Led Zeppelin album.

I feel bad when a good band releases a terrible song which doesn't represent their music, does great at sales and becomes their signature track for people who only listen to the radio. Owner of a Lonely Heart is the perfect example.

edit: I have to admit that 5 minutes after typing this message "owner of a lonely heart tirururum owner of a lonely heaaaart" is still resonating in me so it does have something. It may not be as terrible after all.

That's what I think too. It's not a horrible song, it's just a bad Yes song. It's catchy and tolerable but just not Yes and unfortunately it's their biggest song.

Some strange choices. A Passage to Bangkok, All My Love and Sweet Leaf? Even Too Old.. is a good tune in my book Very Happy
