Agree totally - great song, but otherwise 
Also: Can't Stand Me Now (or whatever it was called) by the Libertines...

not so found of that...but phantomn of the opera is quite a track.
Also like a couple of early cure tunes and 3 or 4 DM songs (new dress is a piece of genius)
I'm sure there are others, possibly much worse ones.
Feeder (who suck) - Buck Rogers (which mostly doesn't suck)
Athlete (haystack) - You got the style (needle)
Frank Zappa (tiresome) - You are what you is (invigorating)
Whitetown (dust) - Your Woman (ruby)
Armand van Helden (just awful) - Funk Phenomenon (just brilliant)
Tool (no no no) - Stinkfist (yes yes yes)
I could go on.

You need to avoid long dull guitar solo Zappa and discover stupid comedy music Zappa, he's MUCH better :) gags about blowjobs from groupies and the rolling stones or zeplin or whoever, shagging mudsharks are great....and so is his band from that era. Stuf from the 80's I wouldn;t piss on if it was on fire tho.
Zappa sucks. I like Joe's Garage but of his shiite is too weird and crappy. I'd rather shiite my pants in public than watch 1000 Motels again. For the same reason I cannot tolerate Phish.

im listening to your boys just now suicide - why be blue not the best album they have made
Most of the Prodigy's ouvre. Like almost everything they've done, loathe the band themselves. Bit annoying, that.
Actually, could probably say the same about much of the Rolling Stones output.

To be quite honest-suicide is quite hit or miss-but i will always adore their self-titled album-They were never able to match up to that. Its sort of a curse they have.
I've listened to a "best of" by Zappa that I have and only Don't Eat Yellow Snow and Bobby Brown Goes Down stuck out. Maybe it just needs more listens.

wow i feel the same way- i used to love the chilli peppers as a young teenagerbut than they just started to annoy the shite out of me. Scartissue is the only song in the past decade that has interested me.

Have you ever heard Orbital's stunning proof that not only is that song the exact same song as "living on a prayer" by bon jovi...but that it sounds almost the same backwards as forwards (only a bit better) gotta admit tho, it's the best thing she ever did.

But which came first?

LOL!
no way chick, she's threatening to grass me up to him an' all.
I was thinking actually...you could include a fair swathe of Metallica's output under this heading.....I like the music, but I'd dearly like to throttle certain members of the band.

The whole of the first Maiden album has stood the test of time much better than anything else they've done, imo... So I suppose that comes under this heading, but in terms of a live show, they are still brilliant fun and theatre... Haven't rated anything they've done since Seventh Son, and even then I've tried of everything bar the first album over the past few years...
The Snorri Of The Opera 
I can never forgive maiden for getting to the opening of The Prisoner before I did....that sample was put on this planet for ME to use, not them :(
genesis--land of confusion backstreet boys--i want it that way (one of my top ten favourite songs ever) rod stewart--maggie may, forever young, young turks faith hill--cry craig david--walking away toto--africa phish--sample in a jar

I completely agreed with that until I saw the new DVD - all the videos and a Brixton concert. Understand what they're on about a bit better now, and don't dislike them as much.
I like "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany. Bloody great, although she was just dung.

Tune!

Insomniac (Godzilla Sdtrk version) - Greenday
Love that one song, but that band is so terrible. Such simple tunes a 10 year old can play and such boring, unoriginal lyrics (especially their political stuff).

Few more:
Millennium - Robbie Williams Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode Alive - Oasis

Aww yeah Steve! When Orbital play Halcyon live sampling Belinda and Bon Jovi. By the time I saw their penultimate gig at Brixton Academy,they also include The Darkness' "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" sample as well.
hopefully you know that ' think were alone now' is not originally by tiffany. by who i can t remember.
Right now, I've had that A-Ha song, "Take on me" stuck in my head. A good tune, but not much else to say for the band. Also that Simple minds song and "Somebody told me" by the Killers.

I've heard other singles by them, but they didn't seem as good.
