Can anyone beat Chuck Berry & My Ding A Ling for artist whose most popular song is actually the worst piece of shit they ever made?

I'm thinking "Bang on the Drum All Day" by Rundgren is a good candidate
― frogbs, Monday, 13 January 2014 18:47 (eleven years ago)
it's Berry's highest charting single

that rundgren track is p unbearable

yeah - Ding A Ling was his biggest selling single - though you're probably right, more people probably know Johnny B Goode in the long run
Bang on the Drum is a good one

The Beatles - Hey Jude

Queen's "We Are the Champions" comes to mind.

Not familiar with Pearl Jam's whole catalog but I'd wager Last Kiss is their worst song
― Vinnie, Monday, 13 January 2014 22:07 (eleven years ago)
Even if it's not really their song
― Vinnie, Monday, 13 January 2014 22:08 (eleven years ago)
No song that isn't on Ten could even be in the running for most popular Pearl Jam song.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 13 January 2014 23:21 (eleven years ago)
6 Underground is definitely the worst Sneaker Pimps song.

I seriously doubt that this song qualified for either of the criteria in the thread title.

I feel like I've heard this opinion expressed several times on ilm, and each time I listen to some of their songs on spotify I don't get it, I don't know if I find 'good enough' more tolerable than other people or find all other dodgy songs less tolerable, but it all sounds exactly the same to me?

I like Gene and the Bluetones though, maybe I just have bad taste in britpop
I always thought it would be fun (in a childish way) to pick a terrible one hit wonder, all of who's other songs no-one has heard, and make out to people that everything else they recorded was brilliant, but I guess people can could just check on youtube or spotify these days

The second half of Free Peace Sweet (starting with One Of Those Rivers) is worth a listen, some lovely songs there
Good Enough, fuck me that horn section. Murder.
