Pretty fly for a white guy. It’s not really a bad song, but it was really overused in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Americana is a great album, but every time Pretty fly starts playing it ruins it for me.
Original Prankster was similar on the next album. Like their label at the time forced one commercial track for a single on them.
Why don’t you get a job. Ugh
I came here to say the same. It isn’t bad but it doesn’t mix up well with the rest…
All Star on Smash Mouth’s Astro Lounge
I can’t believe I’m saying this, somehow I never even gave Astro Lounge a fair shake. I grossly misremembered the song quality, there are some pretty good tracks on there. It’s got some cheesy gimmicks, even so it’s worth giving a listen or two at least.
It’s kinda campy. I like that about smash mouth. Fallen Horses though, that’s a great track. Genuinely good listening.
fush yu mang is also a great album
Waste is a great song
This is exactly what I came to say. Thank you for having taste
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I never even gave Astro Lounge a fair shake. I’m listening to it again and I’m surprised by how badly I misremembered the song quality
Escape from Metallica’s Ride The Lightning. It doesn’t ruin the album but it stains a masterpiece for sure. The band hates that song as well because they wrote it last minute to appease their record label.
That’s interesting, I never knew the story behind that song. Personally I always liked it but I like just about every Metallica song.
Ticks and Leeches off of Lateralus by Tool. It’s not even a bad song but the aggression ruins the flow of the album and sticks out like a sore toe.
I disliked it for a long time. Now I kinda like it. Reminds me of Jambi.
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer on Abbey Road. One of the few songs I skip while listening to an album!
I like Maxwell’s Silverhammer :)
The world is full of things more bizarre and inexplicbale than we could ever imagine, and I thank you for reminding me of that this morning.
I usually just skip that song. Album is no longer ruined 😉
Although Twilight by Anderson Paak is particularly annoying.
Revolution 9, as was often joked about on beatlescirclejerk in the other place.
i love that song
Number 9, number 9, number 9!
There’s a pair of Beatles albums in this list. I don’t mind “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” or “Revolution 9,” but “Tomorrow Never Knows” on Revolver counts for me. Frankly, it’s the worst Beatles song. I prefer the Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair cover of it on It’s Spooky to the Beatles version. It’s just that bad.
For me it is Jewels N’ Drugs on Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP album. I skip it every time.
Good Riddance (The Time of Your Life) is a blemish on an otherwise perfect Nimrod
Any Chvrches song where one of the other members is singing (not sure who it is).
I think there’s at least one on every album they’ve made, and it’s always an immediate skip for me.
It’s Martin. I like 'em but I get it. He’s singing in their latest single Manhattan, and except his song on Screen Violence (or love is dead lol I forget) I mostly skip them as well.
The song Yoko Ono sings on the first Bleachers album. Luckily it’s the last song.
Off the top of my head, “Benny the Bouncer” on Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery. It should have been a B-Side of a single or something like that but it does not work on that album at all. For me, it’s just a goofy unneeded intermission before “Karn Evil 9” that I always skip.
the song astrud gilberto does with her kid on beach samba ruins what is otherwise a perfect album
Couldn’t agree more, that tune is cringe-inducing. A perfect example of the rule that your kids are always cuter to you than to anyone else.
To me, “Parade” on that album is also a turkey.
parade grew on me. i love the marching drums and its such a fun little ditty

Friends is one of my favorite Beach Boys albums, but Anna Lee the Healer just rubs me the wrong way. Instant skip
