Actually, I’ll go with that, where on earth did they go after a Yellow? It was a very good song, but then they just turned to turd.
I love Cat Stevens but this is pushing it.

Not sure if this qualifies for the thread cos its not a song. Bloody tedious though...

Of course it is. Getting my albums confused! You are right, In Through the Out door is crap.

It's bad, however without it we wouldn't have the "I AM THE TABLE" meme. So that's a very, very small redeemable quality I guess
St Anger already mentioned in the thread and was my first thought also. I just laugh every time I hear the cringeworthy sound of the drums on this track in particular. Could literally make as good, if not a better sound with some pots and pans from the kitchen.
And let's not also forget the accompanying self absorbed navel gazing gash that was the documentary 'Some Kind of Monster' where the the interesting bit was Robert Trujillo passing the bass player auditions. Further proof that whilst capable of producing some classic rock Hetfield and Ulrich are really rather unlikeable and despite being one of my fave bands I wouldn't cross the road to meet them.

Fair enough; a matter of taste obviously and I give her the benefit of the doubt for what I just don't get of hers but this just jars for me whenI listen to the album and I am a huge fan as well.

Just thought of a few more that should qualify in this thread.
George Michael - True Faith. For a start, the song should never be covered but George does anyway and murders it. Unlistenable.
The Flaming Lips - I Am The Resurrection. Another cover version, This was a period when The Flaming Lips gave up completely, just released covers of entire albums and perved over Miley Cyrus. There's a lot of low points for the Flaming Lips in the last 8 years but this Stone Roses cover was the lowest.
Nick Cave - Mermaids. Another musician that kind of lost his way a few years back and became uncomfortably sexist. This bloke is a musical God in my eyes, responsible for some of the greatest songwriting of anyone alive and yet he contrived to record a dreadfully bland song with these lyrics: "She was a catch. We were a match. I was the match that would fire up her snatch". If Nick Cave isn't ashamed and embarrassed with that then he should be.
Michael Jackson - Whatzupwitu. It's a duet with Eddie Murphy. It's every bit as bad as it sounds, worse even. I can't think of a worse song recorded by Michael Jackson.
Johnny Cash - Chicken In Black. He wasn't in a good place when he recorded this. On a scale of how much I respect a musician compared with how bad the tune is, this probably is the worst. Ob-la-di Ob-la-da still gets my vote though because it really is that bad a song.
Moby - Animal Rights (the entire album). It came on the back of the quite brilliant Everything Is Wrong, the album that really put Moby on the map as an artist who could write a dance music floor-filler, Everything Is Wrong is a classic. Unfortunately, he was extremely angry about a lot of things at this time: drug use in dance music, right-wing Christians, his own sexuality, not getting the credit he thought he deserved... so his next album, Animal Rights, was a thrash-metal w@nkfest as some sort of protest. I've said it before but I bought that album in good faith and the shop wouldn't take it back when I tried to get a refund. Moby owes me £11.99 plus interest.
