Absolute Bottom - Blue Monday Nearly bottom - Shellshock Almost Nearly bottom - Working Overtime
you guys are such haters
80s... State of the Nation, Shame on the Nation. those serious female vocals sound stupider every year, what a misstep. A lame attempt at a protest song (I think?). Shellshock is a undanceable mess. I think it is suppossed to be a dance song, and a pop song, and everything else they could think of to throw in there hoping you would like something. Maybe likeable in some ways, but a mess.
90s... tracks 6, 7, and 9 off of Republic when Bernard is pretending to be a third Pet Shop Boy or something, can't ever remember those very well. Always have skipped them. If I try to listen to them I always fail to make it thru to the end.
00s... Rock the Shack. Textbook example of a lame attempt of middle aged trying to "rock out" like when he was a kid. Ugh. Run Wild. There may be a decent song buried underneath that mess, but the song makes me cringe. Dracula's Castle. They finished up that track so they could stretch the album into two records and make twice the money. Didn't seem to work out.
Couldn't we have done a bottom 10 instead!
In no particular order -
Doubts Even Here Liar Young Offender
Shit, I love I Told You So - granted it's a bit cheesy - but it's hypnotic and electronic, and has a well nice guitar riff.
I guess anything (bar Paradise) from Brotherhood's rock section would qualify.
Blue Monday 88 is also rubbish. Very fucking rubbish actually. Apart from the sleeve.
This is too hard for me, yeah there are some crappy songs('Rockin' Carol' anyone? 'Let's Go 95, Every Little Counts). It feels uncomfortable to try and list a 'worst 3 songs'

What?!? I love that album from start to finish and I especially like the rock songs. Are you the type who mainly likes electronic music?

Maybe you can leave but you won't get far.
It wasn't just a dream it..
..and where is the recognition of anything NO has written is 100X greater than easily anything by 80% of today's Bands.
Krafty can get overkill.
Elegia.
How can something be so raw, so pretty and so freely take 10 minutes of our Lives.

Jetstream Rock The Shack Working Overtime
I almost forgot about Working Overtime.... Even the best bands in the world can have their moments where they don't seem as brilliant, or when you feel that they potentially can make better songs.

honourable mention to thieves like us and run wild
Most of the songs listed in this thread don't surprise me, and even though I do like some of the ones others don't, I'm shocked to see Thieves Like Us on the list!
