Popular songs you can't stand from bands you otherwise love

[WetcoastOrca]

ELO - Don't Bring Me Down
AC/DC - The Jack

That ELO song always cracks me up and I’m generally a big fan of the group. But ‘Don’t Bring Me Down groos? What the hells a groos. I actually thought for years he was saying Bruce which still cracked me up.

 

[x Tame Impala]

This one is so obvious it almost feels like cheating, though the track is mainly Mike Love's creation.



If I had to choose a popular Brian Wilson-led recording, it would be Barbara Ann. I've never liked the arrangement for the studio version. The party sounds, laid back tone, and sloppy performance are annoying. Their live renditions of the song are much better. It does feature Dean Torrence sharing the falsetto lead with Brian though, so there's that.

Please don't disparage my childhood memories sir. Speaking of the Beach Boys, did anyone watch that movie with Paul Dano and John Cusak about Brian Wilson's issues? Crazy story. He had a doctor who over-prescribed him medicine that was slowly making him crazy meanwhile this doctor (played by Paul Giamati) was weasling his way into Wilson's money, even demanding writing credits on some of Wilson's work.

Never underestimate what someone will do I guess.

That's easy.

Queen - Bicycle Race is garbage.

Genesis - Land of Confusion! Selling England by the pound is my favorite album so I guess it makes sense.
