I'm curious what the room thinks here. I don't love calling them a great band. But I think I have to. It's Pop Punk at its peak. Also bonus points for not making a follow up to your fart jokes about how to fix America (looking at you, Green Day).

Something else I think I heard on Rob Harvilla's podcast. Were other people aware of the Dude Ranch euphemism? Hint: think salad dressing.

Dirty Work by Steely Dan.

Rush has the greatest and worst songs of all time. It's astounding. My vote is for Time Stands Still. The video makes it even worse.GeddyWrox wrote: ↑December 7 21, 3:58 pmEvery great band has terrible songs. This is an interesting concept. I'm fascinated.
Even with my own favorite band, Rush... Lots of stinkers to choose from.
I'll go with Tears from 2112. But there are a ton of really bad songs from the 80s and 90s and 00s to choose from too.

I think any Radiohead songs I think of are due to overplaying, like Creep or Fake Plastic Trees. Except I literally can't listen to Paranoid Android. It is nails on a chalkboard and it's my brother's favorite song.

In this vein, I nominate Diamonds and Pearls by Prince. I'm not a Prince superfan, but I will more than likely change the station if that song comes on.Popeye_Card wrote: ↑December 7 21, 4:11 pmSince there are a lot of throwaway tracks on albums by every band, I'll stick with the more popular ones - songs you might hear on the radio, but immediately switch stations.

Song on the radio that I change the fastest is Maggie May by Rod Stewart. His voice makes me wretch.
