Rowhaus: Row's Worst Songs Ever Made

Rowhaus 01.30.26	Will add more later, didn't want to lose my progress m/
Hawks 01.30.26	FREE BIRD??????????
JoyfulPlatypus 01.30.26	If I get drunk enough I unironically fuck with #9.
JoyfulPlatypus 01.30.26	And what's funny is that even though I dislike Sleep Token, I always thought The Summoning was one of their best songs lol.
evilford 01.30.26	Fuck u for 13
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	1,2,4,8,11,20 are great shouts, abysmal!!! I like 9 for the memes but it's pretty bad
Gameofmetal 01.30.26	mmm kind of middle of the road sputnik bait 6/10
Futures 01.30.26	KILLER KULT KULT KILLER KULT
botb 01.30.26	1, 2, 3 4 55555
Insurrection 01.30.26	4 is 1
Emim 01.30.26	Welcome to the Black Parade
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	Agreed^
RVAHC13 01.30.26	“Never Meant” has easily become one of my least favorite songs over time “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes probably still has my #1 spot though
AlkemestRedux 01.30.26	American Football, yes. I described them once as mozzarella music. Flavorless but dependable.
RVAHC13 01.30.26	I can’t even say it’s a bad album, I just hate that it became a standard for what people consider “emo”
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	Never got the hype for American Football myself. Inoffensive but overrated
Demon of the Fall 01.30.26	Concubine is nice bait (ish)
botb 01.30.26	Idk how you can hate what’s up when that he man video exists
Wildcardbitchesss 01.30.26	you knew what you were doing when you put Converge and Deftones back to back you lil rascal
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	That He Man video is an internet classic
arthropod 01.30.26	Why is 18 here
TheSonomaDude 01.30.26	2, 5, and 17 hurt, especially 2. that one being here is just straight up diabolical. I can get behind most of the others ones, like I was just talking to my buddies about how we all universally loathe 15 lol
RVAHC13 01.30.26	@botb now hold on lol I wasn’t talking about that
ArsMoriendi 01.30.26	I'm not even really a Lynyrd fan, but Free Bird is fine lol At worst it's overplayed Also Mambo No. 5 is secretly the good kinda cheese
DoofDoof 01.30.26	'Brandenburg Gate' is so funny and I haven't listened to it in over ten years what am I doing
Rowhaus 01.30.26	Sorry guys, but Free Bird is among my least favorite of all of humanity's achievements. Whenever that solo comes in I just want to die. By far one of the most overrated, overplayed, most obnoxious pieces of shit I've ever heard in my life.
Hawks 01.30.26	Row ily a lot, but that take makes me wanna die.
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	Losing me w Get Low and Sweet Child
unclereich 01.30.26	List is missing don’t stop believing
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	One of the worst ever agreed^ Only want to hear it during The Sopranos finale
Rowhaus 01.30.26	It's on the list bros lol @Hawks sorry brother, definitely not a popular take but I just can't do it lmao
unclereich 01.30.26	Sorry I never see lists well on mobile. Credit for not like us too. One of the worst songs in history
zakalwe 01.30.26	35 is definitely up there
RVAHC13 01.30.26	Piano Man is a real stinker too. I’m sorry but wtf is a real estate novelist?
unclereich 01.30.26	I would have put higher ground there personally.
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	40 does really suck
ArsMoriendi 01.30.26	@Row: what's your take on their other hits ("Gimme Three Steps", "Sweet Home Alabama", "Simple Man")
unclereich 01.30.26	5,6,42 are the only ones I disagree with. This is a pretty great list tbh
arthropod 01.30.26	21 35 52 brother, this is getting too far
ArsMoriendi 01.30.26	Wait I just saw you updated your list with more songs and okay, but like... LOSING MY RELIGION? That's actually a certified classic
ArsMoriendi 01.30.26	Like forget the rest of this list, that's unironically a 10/10 song. Lyrics, composition, musicianship, emotion Do you lack a soul?
JoyfulPlatypus 01.30.26	Every time I hear Losing My Religion I think of this one dumbass Family Guy joke where Michael Stipe is being hunted. "is that him in the corner?" "is that him in the spotlight??"
Rowhaus 01.30.26	"what's your take on their other hits ("Gimme Three Steps", "Sweet Home Alabama", "Simple Man")" They're fine. Not really my thing but not bad. Free Bird is really the only one that actively pisses me off lol
Demon of the Fall 01.30.26	this list is getting a lot better ngl
arthropod 01.30.26	Every time I hear Losing My Religion I'm having several painful flashbacks at once. It's tear-inducing. Also, Hotel California? What the hell?
Demon of the Fall 01.30.26	Hotel California is on the money and basically any hit from Swift, GNR the Chillies and Pantera works, so fair play
Demon of the Fall 01.30.26	Knocked Loose are also baaaaaad Sleep Token is low hanging fruit but yeah that’s an easy win
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	Hotel California blows
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	Emmure bias w 54
ArsMoriendi 01.30.26	Oh yeah I hate Hotel California The Eagles in general are annoying Life in the Fast Lane is even worse tho
Demon of the Fall 01.30.26	Sweet Home Alabama isn’t any better tbf. I haven’t done a deep dive into The Eagles but their hits are some of the worst rock music I’ve ever heard so why would I want to?
unclereich 01.30.26	no ccr no zepp no floyd no clash? not a certified hater yet
Rowhaus 01.30.26	I just find LMR so painfully dull. The vocal melody is super annoying and repetitive, there's very little variation in structure and tempo, and the whole song just plods along. Super boring. The chorus also gets stuck in your head, but not in a good way. "I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you laughing, that's me in the corner, that's me in the corner, that's me in the corner, that's me in the corner" Like bro stfu holy shit lol
Demon of the Fall 01.30.26	why the hell is Melt-Banana here? I take everything back about this improving lol
unclereich 01.30.26	streetlight manifesto and mewithoutyou are prolly too low hanging fruit for this list and that really says something
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	La Dispute discog should be on this
Demon of the Fall 01.30.26	Oh shit Float On is here too, damn. I mean it certainly isn’t in the best half of Good News but wow. Okay maybe you do have a lil edge here. I could do better, but still
Insurrection 01.30.26	48 ain’t no way
ArsMoriendi 01.30.26	@Row: idk bro, it has 3 verses, a pre-chorus, a chorus, and 2 bridges (most songs only have 1) and the order doesn't even go "chorus verse chorus" cuz it has 2 verses next to each-other, so I always thought it was a little more varied than your typical 90s hit Also, believe it or not, he only actually says "That's me in the corner" twice in the entire song and it's minutes apart. It's just that it's SO memorable that it really sticks
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	MGMT - Electric Feel would make my list
ArsMoriendi 01.30.26	@jr: interesting, I'd sooner choose Kids, never understood the hype for that song, it's just 1 catchy keyboard line with stock bass and stock drums
unclereich 01.30.26	an ins comment in 2026 is outrageous
Demon of the Fall 01.30.26	Time to Pretend or whatever it’s called would make my list for sure the R.E.M choice wouldn’t be mine but if it was played incessantly wherever someone was I could understand. I’m more ‘whatever’ towards most of their hits than actively irritated by them tho
unclereich 01.30.26	if we are being real that one dropkick murphys song is probably the worst thing that's been made in the last 25 years
RVAHC13 01.30.26	Losing My Religion isn’t nearly as bad as Stand
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	I am a notorious indie pop hater to be fair
Rowhaus 01.30.26	@Ars that's crazy he only says it twice lol. I guess for me it's been drastically overplayed and the vocal delivery just grinds me down. The "I thought I heard you laughing" line is what really gets my goat. The first time I heard that track it seemed like he said it a million times lol
unclereich 01.30.26	that i think that i found myself a cheerleader song infamously gave me aids back in 2016
ArsMoriendi 01.30.26	He does says "I thought that you ____" a lot in the song, I'll give you that
ArsMoriendi 01.30.26	"Losing My Religion isn’t nearly as bad as Stand" God I love Stand so much I've done it for karaoke more than once lmao. If you're gonna hate on REM at least go for Shiny Happy People or like Lotus gaaah
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	Unironically I dig Shiny Happy People lol
Emim 01.30.26	Ain't it Fun by Paramore Every song by panic at the disco Every muse song not on origin of symmetry or absolution Every single thing the plain white ts have written or thought of writing
Emim 01.30.26	Every green day song
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	Damn Plain White Ts, now thats garbage
Emim 01.30.26	Saw them at the Tahoe is for Lovers festival and I've never been more checked out for a band
Rowhaus 01.30.26	Holy shit Paramore and Plain White T's. Outstanding pulls. Ain't It Fun is indeed awful
RogueNine 01.30.26	Eagles are bad but Hotel is great.
jrlikestodance 01.30.26	60 nice
Emim 01.30.26	I don't hate thrift shop but macklemore as a personality annoys me
DamnVanne 01.30.26	I regret to inform you that Game Over by Falling in reverse didn’t make it onto this list. I didn’t think anything would ever top Radikult but that shit is new heights
unclereich 01.30.26	https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3pOUj3thF-Q
Kusangii 01.30.26	Sometimes I really do wonder if you actually like music :p
RVAHC13 01.31.26	Radiohead - Creep Led Zeppelin - All of My Love The Offspring - Hit That Pretty much every song Viagra Boys have ever put out Aphex Twin - QKTHr (thanks Instagram)
bigguytoo9 01.31.26	Hey, Soul Sister is straight up TRASH.
rockarollacola 01.31.26	respect. Needs more Sweet Caroline though
JoyfulPlatypus 01.31.26	omfg I haven't thought of that trash Suicide Silence album in YEARS lmaooo I forgot how garbage it is.
budgie 01.31.26	add everything by agalloch and childrten of bodom to this list
budgie 01.31.26	and iron maiden - invaders
TheSonomaDude 01.31.26	InVAAAADEEEERRRSSS
NudeTayne 01.31.26	Everything by The Acacia Strain except Continent and Wormwood
bach 01.31.26	https://youtu.be/vfpgpf6QVnI?si=l_oCEV-A3iFFRENi
NudeTayne 01.31.26	https://youtu.be/dCZrPllVhRQ?si=gS1ZKmeUwLRjj-Xt
AlkemestRedux 01.31.26	Oh god I didn't know the nostalgia critic made a musical review of the wall. Sounds genuinely unlistenable. Dude had one of the biggest and most cringe fall offs of all time.
brickhed 01.31.26	Its one of the worst ideas known to music, each song feels like an hour. 55 one of the worst tracks off of it, its the epitome of Doug having zero self awareness and having egomania
NudeTayne 01.31.26	wtf? dude made a "musical review" of the wall? I gotta check this, I love the wall
ShartHarder 01.31.26	list has me OFFENDED
gabba 01.31.26	Based list, Hotel California is the worst thing ever happened to music.
gabba 01.31.26	Also, where’s Queen???
DoofDoof 01.31.26	A few controversial (maybe?) ones - I'd rate these all 0.5 out of 5: 1. The Beautiful South - A Little Time 2. Black Country New Road - Besties 3. James Blake - The Willhelm Scream 4. Coldplay - Viva La Vida 5. The Cranberries - Zombie 6. The Killers - Human 7. Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This... 8. Metallica - The Memory Remains 9. M People - Search for the Hero 10. Kate Nash - Foundations 11. The National - You Had Your Soul With You 12. No Doubt - Don't Speak 13. Puff Daddy - I'll Be Missing You 14. Suede - Beautiful Ones 15. Stereophonics - Have a Nice Day 16. The Sundays - Here's Where the Story Ends 17. The View - Same Jeans
JoyfulPlatypus 01.31.26	My wife agrees with you on #12 Doof lmao she fuckin hates that song.
DoofDoof 01.31.26	So ubiquitous at the time, I have unwillingly listened to that song somewhere north of a hundred times argh
RVAHC13 01.31.26	@DoofDoof man the Besties hate is so strong around here lol Unrelated note Country House and Girls & Boys ensure that I will never pick Blur over Oasis
DoofDoof 01.31.26	Albarn is definitely capable of writing some seriously annoying tunes it is true
Eakflanderyof 01.31.26	Freebird is overrated as hell but definitely not one of the worst songs ever. Skynyrd have way better songs that I'd rather hear on the radio way more. I'll take gimme back my bullets any time
Eakflanderyof 01.31.26	Overall, there's a lot that I agree with on the list. There are definirely worse RHCP and REM songs but so many bad ones it's hard to settle on worst @doofdoof Agreed hard on memory remains and zombie. Two embarrassing songs
EoinCofa 01.31.26	List is completely bogus! Proof: it doesn’t contain The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian
Demon of the Fall 01.31.26	ngl Doof’s batting average is incredible there
Rowhaus 01.31.26	My work here is done! Quite a few of these bands I actually enjoy, but sometimes they write a track that's simply vile. Being drastically overplayed doesn't help either. This was actually super fun to make lol
DoofDoof 01.31.26	I still regularly listen to 'Bodies', it cheers me up, especially the 'counting for beginners' part
TheSonomaDude 01.31.26	cmon dawg 85????
RVAHC13 01.31.26	and 84 :,(
Titan 01.31.26	i understand your sentiment on almost every song that I like on this list
DoofDoof 01.31.26	I only think ten of these are great songs....and there's another five or six which are just hilarious and need to exist. The rest all deserve to be launched into the cold, unforgiving and mercifully soundless vacuum of space.
Rowhaus 01.31.26	I love AIC, but I've always hated that song. Give me Bleed the Freak or We Die Young any day
DoofDoof 01.31.26	Songs I dig on this list (to some degree): AIC - Man in the Box Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song Lynyrd Skynrd - Free Bird Pantera - Walk Joy Division - Disorder Foo Fighters - Hero White Stripes - Seven Nation Army Guns n Roses - Sweet Child Judas priest - Breaking the Law Modest Mouse - Float On NMH - In the Aeroplane REM - Losing My Religion What I will say is a lot of those are overfamiliar to me now, esp Sweet Child/Free Bird/Seven Nation Army/Losing My Religion and so I get it. When I first heard those songs they impressed me though....can't say that about the rest of your picks on the list!
Demon of the Fall 01.31.26	Okay, let’s see if I can do this without naming (most) artists and possibly butchering some track names… Dancing Queen (or any stock hit) We Will Rock You Don’t Stop Believing Hotel California / Sweet Home Alabama Wonderwall (or any stock hit) Sex on Fire I Will Walk Five Hundred Miles (or whatever it’s called) Shake It Off Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Blurred Lines (probably ironic, but I still hate it) Livin’ for the Weekend (Hard-Fi… ah feck I named the ‘artist’) All The Small Things (or I Miss You or whatever it’s called) Girls & Boys (Good Charlotte, not Blur… but that one is like 1.0 better lol) in fact basically that entire era of mainstream American pop punk… Alkaline Trio were better than most tbf sorry Bubs okay I’ve given up now.. Stereophonics Kaiser Chiefs The Bravery Coldplay (yeah, all of it to be fair) Snow Patrol Guns N Roses Pantera Chillies (well ‘most’ … I mean their best song is a Stevie Wonder cover) Between The Buried And Me Sleep Token ‘Djent’ Nails Tool Whitesnake AC/DC Alanis Morrisette - Ironic
Demon of the Fall 01.31.26	I have some ‘edgier’ picks but this is a pretty stock Demon list off the top of my head
Demon of the Fall 01.31.26	Freebird & Bodies are good choices too to be fair
DoofDoof 01.31.26	Demon in with the Abba burn, I avoided that as I know I get slaughtered for not worshipping Abba
Demon of the Fall 01.31.26	The Beatles - Hello, Goodbye
Emim 01.31.26	This Love is fire. Fun af to play on drums
jrlikestodance 01.31.26	I actually had meant to comment Get Lucky last night lol. Santeria makes my list as well, love Sublime otherwise
Emim 01.31.26	I could probably add 95% of rhcp songs
jrlikestodance 01.31.26	Used to love em but now I can't stand em
Emim 01.31.26	Same
Ectier 01.31.26	Ill not stand for 39 slander
FearThyEvil 01.31.26	The Gojira and Converge pick got me triggered lol jk. Dude that Train song...fuck me! I used to work in retail years ago and it always came on and every time I heard it I w anted to blow my fucking head off
ArsMoriendi 01.31.26	Yellow Submarine is so overhated, Santera and Man in the Box are cool. Hating Take on Me is bizarre, and O Superman? Leave Laurie Anderson alone lol...
jrlikestodance 01.31.26	Agree that Take On Me and Man in the Box both go
ArsMoriendi 01.31.26	O Superman might be the best song on this entire list tbh Like an actual hallmark of cool 80s experimental music Really bizarre it charted at #2 in the UK, I wish the US pop charts were ever that daring
arthropod 01.31.26	Some of these picks are understandable but how you put Man In The Box, Seven Nation Army and Take On Me on the same level as Gagnam Style, Dance Monkey and motherfucking Crazy Frog is beyond me.
Emim 01.31.26	Agree that Take On Me and Man in the Box both go [2] I've heard Seven Nation Army so many damn times I kinda agree with row
