I can think of a few...

My Wave - Soundgarden (I dunno why, but I hate this song)
Scentless Apprentice - Nirvana (Again, I just hate it)

What are yours?
Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    Speaking of Soundgarden, I never thought "Black Hole Sun" was a good song.

    I don't like Custard Pie by Led Zeppelin at all even though it opens my favorite Zep album: Physical Graffiti. I can't really say it's a "bad" song by an amazing band. but it's a song I hate by an amazing band.

    Those are two great songs, especially Scentless, Dave Grohl wrote that you know? Actual bad songs from those two bands would be:

    1.)Soundgarden-Rusty
    2.)Nirvana- Anything on Bleach,

    You're crazy for not liking My Wave. One of my favourite SG songs.

    Here's some bad songs by amazing bands:

    Beatles - Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
    Neil Young - The Restless Consumer
    Pink Floyd - Seamus
    The Pixies - Dig For Fire
    Radiohead - Talk Show Host
    RHCP - On Stadium Arcadium alone: Charlie, Strip My Mind, C'Mon Girl, Tell Me Baby, She Looks To Me, If, Animal Bar, We Believe
    Sloan - If It Feels Good Do It
    Stone Temple Pilots - Days of the Week
    Tool - Most of 10,000 Days
    The Hip - In View, Pretend
    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

    Pearl Jam - Get Right

    It is about the only song on a Pearl Jam album that I would not defend as being great or above average. I think bands that take more risks are bound to have more clunkers (like U2). Pearl Jam stays within the confines of rock, and since they are extremely great at it, and only make 15 songs every 3 years, they don't have many duds.

    my wave is one of a handful of soundgarden songs i can stand, interesting. also, the guy who said dig for fire is a bad song is crazy... that's my fav pixies song.

    id add:

    dance hall- modest mouse
    into the woods- my morning jacket
    anthems for a 17 yeard old girl- broken social scene
    a man and a woman- u2
    butterfly in reverse- counting crows

    I always couldn't stand Pearl Jam's Who You Are.. worst single.. EVER. The only song I skip. Even Foxymorphin and Bugs is interesting enough to listen to.

    Radiohead- Electioneering
    "Stunned by my own reflection, It's looking back, sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again, Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,down,down"

    When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"

    I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.

    I became so sick of this song

    I still haven't found what I'm looking for- U2

    Sorry, never did it for me.

    Those lyrics are pretty funny, especially the first verse
    'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

    that's the one with the weird distorted vocals right? the chick that sounds like she's singing with water in her mouth? it's boring. the entire rest of that album is better than that song ;)

    They're Red Hot- RHCP...Whoever thought it was a good idea to put this goofy song as the closer to one of the best albums of the 90's was dead wrong. Sir Psycho Sexy could have closed the album perfectly.

    The New Pollution- Beck. Odelay was nearly perfect....nearly

    Mark on the Bus-Beastie Boys. Even with this forgetable piece of filler, Check Your Head remains one of the best albums ever. Calling it filler would actually be a compliment.

    Pink Floyd- Bike. I don't want to hear about the beauty of simplicity. This "song" is stupid as hell.

    Grateful Dead- One More Saturday Night. Some versions are better than others but for the most part Bob Weir's 50's sockhop vocals do nothing for me.

    Pearl Jam- Wishlist. Not just a bad song by PJ's standards, just a bad song period.

    Smashing Pumpkins- Take Me Down....just awful.
