    I liked Stacy’s Mom when I first heard it, but after listening to more and Fountains of Wayne over the years, it just makes me angry because it’s the only song of theirs anybody knows! I like that most of their music is about everyday moments and emotions, but the only everyday moment people know is the milf one.

    And then I start thinking about Bowling for Soup’s cover of Stacy’s Mom, which is by far the worst cover I have ever heard, not because it’s bad in its own right, but because there are no creative decisions taken, nothing to make it their own, they just do nothing with it and on Spotify it has an entire half of the number of plays as the original. The first time I heard the cover, I didn’t realize until the singing started and I thought the voice sounded a little different. And there are people who don’t even realize Bowling for Soup’s “version” is a cover!

    I maintain that Cake has never released a bad album, but Race Car Ya-Yas on Fashion Nugget is absolute crap. A festering boil on the face of an otherwise unblemished body of work.

    Modest Mouse - Pistol

    It’s a classic song to hate on by fans. I don’t mind it now, but it’s pretty abrasive.

      Really? Interesting. I think the version on Alive 2007 combined with Alive and Prime Time of Your Life is like the pinnacle of that album.

        The alive 2007 version fits in the live set. That was much better than the song on its own on the human after all album

      Wait, is this actually the name of a song, or a genuine question?

      EDIT: Nevermind, just looked at your profile.

    Father to a Son by Green Day

    I had a very poor relationship with my father and that song just makes me sad and very angry.

    Pink Floyd - Animals

    I love almost everything by Pink Floyd, but their entire album Animals is a dud for me. Regardless, I’m pretty sure I have an MP3 copy of the album backed up anyways.

      The correct answer for Pink Floyd must surely be Seamus?? How that song ever got made, let alone included on an album, is beyond me.

    Apnea by Currents. Love the band, have seen them multiple times in person, and have lots of merch. But it’s an extremely detailed song, and it’s very hard to hear, making it my least favorite. They are a phenomenal metalcore band though.
