Name an awesome band whose most popular song is one of their worst, most boring, most uninteresting. I’ll start:

scootsy Werewolf Bar Mitzvah

1/16/20 5:35pm

Radiohead - Creep

Pedant

1/16/20 5:36pm

Weird-o.

AtomicHamster

Modest Mouse:popular?

TerribleOpinionsGuy

Couple hundred million plays on spotify

scootsy

1/16/20 6:27pm

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

ReyOso

Overplayed? Yes. Worst? No way

Jacare

1/16/20 5:50pm

Not the worst, no, but the disconnect between play and quality, yes.

ReyOso

Extreme: More Than Words

The Dark Knight

1/16/20 5:51pm

I don't know about Awesome, but Men Without Hats, Safety Dance.

PJMort

1/16/20 5:54pm

You know, that dance wasn’t as safe as they said it was.

yerromnitsuj

1/16/20 6:16pm

Absolutely...that album has some awesome songs

Jacare

1/16/20 7:47pm

Counting Crows: Mr. Jones

Traveshamockery

1/16/20 5:58pm

Just listened to that on drive home. Still holds up.

Turnpike Lane

1/16/20 6:13pm

Good song but probably their 20th best song.

Traveshamockery

1/16/20 6:23pm

I love (love) mr Jones. But still agree that it’s outside their top 20.

Jay Rick

1/16/20 7:45pm

But I like Float On

Misteak

1/16/20 6:05pm

Michael Jackson: Thriller

Josef K

1/16/20 6:10pm

Great song, but he had so many. Good example.

Costanza

1/16/20 9:33pm

U2: Not sure about one song in particular, but many of U2's album cuts are better than the radio stuff on most albums

RUNBYU1

1/16/20 6:14pm

Duran Duran: Rio

Misteak

1/16/20 6:17pm

Bryan Adams: Everything I do, I do it for you. Not a band but popular and boring

1/16/20 6:21pm

Extreme-More Than Words. These guys are so much more than that depressing song.

pegushin

1/16/20 6:22pm

Flaming Lips: She Don't Use Jelly

spinner

1/16/20 6:25pm

There is more than just one "Float On," of course.

Brisco

1/16/20 6:26pm

I'm amazed at how frequent Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady" is played. It's probably not even a top 20 song for them

Metallica - Enter Sandman

BlackBart

1/16/20 6:30pm

More metal: Judas Priest- Breaking the Law

ReyOso

1/16/20 6:54pm

Agreed. Huge Metallica fan and it's not in their top 30 best songs

Metallica - Enter Sandman. Offspring - Self Esteem

Nada Surf and Fountains of Wayne

Night Ranger - Sister Christian

Tare

1/16/20 7:11pm

Van Halen Jump

Backcountry

1/16/20 7:17pm

That song is my childhood. But to each his own

The Dark Knight

1/16/20 7:25pm

Its good because its Van Halen. But relative to some of their other stuf...

Backcountry

1/16/20 7:30pm

From that same album, I hear "I'll Wait" on the radio all time. Much worse, IMO

The Dark Knight

Truth is, it’s most artists. Because the masses are dumb.

Jay Rick

True, I always seem to have a favorite song by most bands that aren’t their most

Rather that their biggest hit has mass appeal. True fans have different tastes.

ReyOso

Yes. Mass appeal usually requires simplicity, and often “corniness.” Bc the

Jimmy Eat World is maybe the best example. Fantastic band with this one massive

And that’s the pop hit every time, isn’t it?
