Probably "Invisible Kid" by Metallica off their St. Anger album. Granted, a lot of the songs off that album don't really have a lot of replay value. But that song to me is by far the worst thing off that album. It's not catchy, music wise, the guitar sounds terribly out of tune, and most shocking of all, the vocals and lyrics are far below the standards that James Hetfield has set for himself over the course of his career. He just sounds weak and uninspired throughout this entire song, which feels like it's about 6 minutes too long to begin with. Really, it should have been left on the cutting room floor, as far as I'm concerned...

[@leinonibishop9480]

@SciFyerGaming great take on that song. like most PJ songs there can be multiple meanings and what it means to us, what it means to Eddie Vedder or the other band members, and what Eddie Vedder says it means to the media, are all different things and can still all be true. Eddie said he had terrible poison ivy at the time and was itching out of his skin and that's why he wrote that song. he got the accordion at a second hand store and was messing around with it. he said he would play that song for people, tell them (with a straight face) it was their next single, and he thought it was the best thing they'd ever done. he talked about it in an interview and he thought it was pretty damn funny. could it also be about his anxiety from fame, being hounded by the media, and being stalked by crazy fans, sure.

[@jennanevara5871]

Two interesting notes: 1. R.E.M.'s intent with Shiny Happy People was supposed to be satire of something that happened in China, where they covered a violent bombing with murals of "shiny happy people". Obviously the satire failed and it became a cheesy as hell song. 2. No one except Axl knew of My World's existence when recorded. Axl made it all by himself two weeks before the album released. The band didn't even know it existed until after the album came out.

[@EmoBearRights]

I prefer to The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonighte which sounds like another band trying to be REM.

[@ManekiNeko1972]

When the album came out, I played it for my friend Vicki, and she said "He's just being silly, isn't he?". That's a good way to describe My World. The song isn't bad, it's just silly. When he did the Charles Manson cover? THAT WAS BAD.

[@SavageGreywolf]

The story about Shiny Happy People being about China censoring news of a terrorist bombing, or the Tiananmen Square Massacre is an urban legend. The band has never said that was the case and Michael Stipe explicitly said the opposite, that it was unironically a happy pop song and that he hates it. R.E.M. fans really want that song to secretly not be twee trash. sorry folks.

Propaganda seemed weird to me at first, but then I realized what I’d been missing the whole time.

I honestly have a real soft spot for Shiny Happy People. It's honestly so kid-friendly happy that it goes all the way to legit creepy and unnerving (which I think was the original intention of the song). It's like the theme song for a cult. And I always have a fondness for songs that initially seem happy and fun yet are anything but.

I recognize one of the backing singers as also being a member of the B-52s, who like REM came from Athens, Georgia.

Honestly, All in the Family is very on brand, but poorly executed. I feel there was bit of making fun of the underground rap battle culture (which this clearly was), and JDs lyrics were often offensive. Think of Clown, Daddy, and Fagit. Hell, ADIDAS. Though, to be fair, ADIDAS could also be on this list and it would be difficult to argue his reasons, and I do believe it might be their shame song, I know it's Head's shame song. And to be even more fair, Daddy wasnt offensive to be shocking, or to develop a musical style, although it did both. Daddy, imo, will remain their opus. Despite being a difficult listen lyrically, the song is genius, and is important to those who suffered a similar abuse to know they are not alone. Well, I guess that was an unneeded tangent. I apologise.

I’m not even sure One in a Million has even the worst lyrics, Get in the Ring, It’s so Easy, and Back Off Bitch are pretty repulsive. My World is the worst because it doesn’t even have decent music.

I absolutely loved bugs from Pearl Jam. It's clearly a joke of a song. I just love the line, " Do I trick them? I Don't think they're dumb!" Cracks me up every time.

Sees the song highlighted is Propaganda Me: ah, ok with that aside, i actually like most of Simulation Theory. cuz im a huge muse fan who's been to a handful of Muse concerts, Hearing Propaganda live consisted of me focusing more on the latex dancers than the actual song lol

I saw Pearl Jam play Bugs the first time live, they did it 10/31/09, in Philly. Someone made a large donation to their charity with the request for them to play the song.

I had both Illusions in pirate CDs back in the early 2000's . Illusion 1 came just fine, but strangely Illusion 2 had 2 tracks missing, Don't Cry with alternative lyrics and My World. Somehow the album worked much better this way.

[@Mr._Kagle]

As a diehard fan of both eras of Genesis, I think that their self-titled album is really good; songs like "Mama", the "Home by the Sea" suite, and "Just a Job to Do" are among the best of the Phil Collins era. It's a shame that "Illegal Alien" is also on it. That song alone is what keeps me from calling the album a masterpiece.

[@mmsiphonevinyls1027]

Same , i love all their work from Foxtrot to We Cant Dance, and IMO that LP has some great cuts on it. Even ones some older fans hate like Taking It All Too Hard and Thats All. But to me, Illegal Alien did for it what Who Dunnit did for Abacab.

Dude I knew it was gonna be pink cellphone just from the thumbnail. I’m subscribed to a Deftones group on Facebook, (mainly because some people might get an album or new track update before I hear about it and they go wild posting the same stuff over and over again) and several times a week someone posts the vulgar lyrics in the song as a joke to see how many people will comment with the rest of the lyrics. Gets annoying after awhile. The funny thing is that the original release had the song end before the dirty part. That version was released soon after on a deluxe edition.

[@_emilyelizabeth_]

I once played 'Bugs' for someone who hadn't really listened to PJ much before and jokingly told them that's what most of their songs sound like. 😂 I don't think it's completely terrible. I mean, I thought it was pretty humorous how unexpected it is compared to the rest of the albun and that song actually brings back good memories for me now.

[@xtlm]

Pearl Jam didn't play Bugs live until like 2009 when they were in Philly and doing every song they ever released over 4 nights. It was played on the last concert ever at the Spectrum on Halloween. They played 42 songs that night. The crowd loved it when he pulled out the accordion, they knew what they were getting into.

REM is one of those bands that I know more songs of than I expected when looking back because they always played at some point in my life at more or less important moments. Is REM my soundtrack?

It's funny. I saw your "10 good songs by bad bands," and legitimately liked majority of those bands. But this video I didn't care for most of the bands. I'm not "butt hurt" about it because like you have said it's just opinions. So legitimately think it's kinda funny. It was entertaining to watch and you're still respectful while being passionate about it so keep doing what you do man.

In the defence of Korn, they were druggies when the recorded their older stuff, and Jonathan was most likely high and/or drunk during the writing and recording process of All In The Family.

[@meinacco]

regarding "All in the Family" by Korn - I actually really like listening to the song. Mind you, I didn't say I like the song, I just like hearing it now and then. For all the reasons that you mentioned I find the song hilarious. Gets a good chuckle out of me every time. On a different note: It really grinds my gears that in this video you put the song title on top and the band name below while in the follow up video it's the other way around. Minor inconsistencies make my eyes bleed XD

The Megadeth album "Risk" was actually quite aptly named. I seem to recall reading somewhere that one of the band members (the bassist, I think?) made the suggestion, and Mustaine knew it was a risk... hence the album's name.

Central Rain... basically any song they made from 1983 to the mid 90s because I refuse to believe that’s the only R.E.M. song you could find any enjoyment in (and I actually like SHP too).

I know where you're going with the Megadeath song "Breadline", but I've never heard that one before until just now when I looked it up. I kinda like it. Maybe if I heard it in 2000 and knew what they were trying to do (conform to the times?) I would have felt the same way as you. I was trying to get into the mindset of 'what if I was in my car and this song came on the radio?' I would like it.

Pink Cellphone is one of my FAVORITE songs from Saturday Night Wrists. I didn’t like it at first, but the whole song is so weird and uncomfortable that it’s actually quite brilliant. I get why people don’t like it though.

I like Shiny Happy People, i never think it was bad.

[@fridolfk]

I watched this because I saw Muse in the thumbnail and I am a diehard Muse-fan. I was NOT expecting you to pick Propaganda out of all the songs on that album xD That's one of the songs I actually enjoyed. even though I am one of the rare fans who like their new stuff, I admit to not being a huge fan of a few songs on that album.. Propaganda wasn't one of them though. I think my least favourite was Get up and fight. Oh well, it is what it is xD

[@fridolfk]

Aaand now I listened to your rationale and realized that's WHY I like it. It's supposed to be chaotic because it's basically mind manipulation. I mean.. it's Propaganda xD I think it made perfect sense. I'm also a fan of contrasts so that it switched between different styles was a turn on for me.

Genesis in Kansas City, January 29, 1984. There's a recording circulating among fans, in the middle of "Illegal Alien" the music suddenly cuts off and all that is audible is the audience's reaction to the power failure. Phil Collins claims later on in the show that "most of Kansas City went down".
