Some of the greatest groups released some of the worst work that shoud've never left the vaults..with that being said here is the worst songs by good groups:

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine/ Octopus Garden

Led Zeppelin - All My Love

Radiohead - Bloom

Rolling Stones - Luxury

Pink Floyd - Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict

Beach Boys - I don't know where to start lol..Chapel of Love (cover)..Johnny Carson...

The Doors - Not to Touch the Earth

The Beatles - Several songs

Pink Floyd - All songs after 1968

Beach Boys - "Touch Me On My Chromosome" and "Good Vibrations"

The Doors - Most songs

[Newguy562]

My turn. NRBQ - Big Dump Jukebox (abysmal electronic sound effects and melody in general)

The Kinks - Plastic Man (skip it every time)

Wings - Band on the Run (you see, I like the eponymous album but the title track is not my cup of tea, any segment of it.), Winter Rose-Love Awake (the same as the previous: not my fave)

Fleetwood Mac - there are a lot of but as an example - Everywhere (back vocals in the chorus and in the end and ringing sounds rather let down the song. Nice vocals by Christine though.)

The Hollies - Sorry Susanne (the melody is dreadful imo); Water on the Brain (what is this?!); He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (I try not to listen to unhappy kind of music)

Jefferson Airplane - e.g. White Rabbit (honestly speaking, I don't like it at all, the song is sort of overrated), Somebody to Love (the same as WR), She Has Funny Cars (good vocals by Marty but can't stand Grace Slick's howlings)
  
Velvet Underground - Train Round the Bend (it maybe the only song that I don't like off their entire catalogue. Those head-attacking noises of distorted guitar, darn it! Besides, the worst performance by Lou Reed imo.)

The Beatles - many and many and many. F.ex., Paperback Writer and The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill.

looking at this hurt :/...plastic man is my sh*t!...band on the run is definitely one of my favorites but the wings! and my favorite on that album..
wow he aint heavy is a deep song one of the few that can make a tear come down my face...

Take it easy! There's nothing hurtful if the ones like these songs and the others - those. In fact, it is interesting to compare various minds on the same subject, isn't it? At least to me it is interesting.

to me as well..why don't you like those songs though?

Several Species is one of the greatest things the Floyd ever did, period.

[MyGlove]

I don't agree with "All My Love". I love that song. One of the few very good songs on their last two albums. And when I saw "Train Comin Round the Bend" I got it confused with "Oh Sweet Nuthin" which is on the same album, and I was gonna have to scold you for saying Oh Sweet Nuthin was bad. But I realized which song you meant, and I agree. I also agree with the Beatles one's. Nursery rhyme rubbish is all it is. I'd probably add Good Night to that. For Radiohead it's hard, cuz i don't think i really listen to all their stuff at the same time. I usually can only stand them in small doses, one or two albums at a time. So I can't say what's their worst song. Probably something off OK Computer, like Fitter Happier or Electioneering or Climbing Up The Walls.

Corny, forced lyrics over a yuletide backing track... Very bad song. It doesn't matter how warm the harmonies sound.

THE FROG SONG - Paul McCartney

YES I KNOW THAT IT WAS FOR A KID SHOW BUT I STILL HOLD IT AGAINST HIM! + ALL HIS TERRIBAD BEATLES GRANNY SONGS








CAPS INTENDED*

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine/ Octopus Garden

I love 'Octopus's Garden'. Forget the childish lyrics and Ringo's vocals, guitar wise that song is one of George Harrison's finest moments.

[Funky Pity]

Eagles -  The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks 

[hypehat]

Eagles -  The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks 

That would imply that the Eagles are any good in the first place

[MyGlove]

Eagles -  The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks 

That would imply that the Eagles are any good in the first place

Do I sense sarcasm? Don't you know they were very influential to all types of musicians? Pretty much every modern country artist and soft rock/easy listening band owes them a debt... on second thought maybe you're right 

[Eireannach]

Abracadabra - The Steve Miller Band

This also implies that The Steve Miller Band is good in the first place, which I am willing to grant may be true for others, but Abracadabra is the worst.

[Summertime Blooz]

I Just Called To Say I Love You- Stevie Wonder. Stevie, how could you?

[onkster]

OK, an obscure but great band: Sun60.

Their first album (eponymous) was near-perfect--super-catchy songs, great production and performance--I still highly recommend it, if you can find it.

Second album ("Only"), horrible--it was if they disavowed songwriting because of the hipster idea at the time that espoused jamming over songwriting. And the whole album shows it. No hooks, no songs, just riffs, repetition, boring improvisation. And sunglasses. Bleccch. When they played live around this period, they pretty much dumped any tracks from Album 1 and did almost all extended versions of stuff from Album 2. And the critics seemed to like 2 over 1 then too--idiots!

Album 3 had one great, great song ("C'mon and Kiss Me") and the rest was okay, but not memorable. Then they split up.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Velvet Underground: New Age (version on "Live 69" w different lyrics is way better than the lame album track)

Hall & Oates: Everything Your Hear Desires - signaled their unavoidable slide into AOR sap

U2: When I Look At The World

The Beatles: Honey Pie - barf!

AC/DC: Walk All Over You - Rocking track but it sounds like it was written by some disgusting rapist/killer

[hypehat]

Nah, worst Velvet Underground song is Lonesome Cowboy Bill. New Age is great, especially for the 'SOMETHING'S GOT A HOLD ON ME' part. Wish that was longer.

That said, I've never listened to Squeeze.
