The Boy with the Thorn In His Side & Cemetry Gates - The Smiths

I love the Smiths, I really do, as evidenced by my tattoos and my avatar, but really I cannot stand these songs and I think they are terrible.


though if those count as hits idk

Should I Stay or Should I Go & Rock the Casbah are notable too. Should I Stay is really crap, Rock the Casbah less so but in comparison the rest of Combat Rock (ie Know Your Rights, Car Jamming, or Overpowered by Funk) they're embarassing

'The Boy With The Thorn In His Side' is probably the weakest song on The Queen Is Dead but 'Cemetry Gates' is classic. I love Johnny's guitar work and the lyrics are brilliantly well-done.

Heh. That's actually one of my favorite Stones songs! The Sisters of Mercy cover of it is pretty great too, arguably even better better than the original.

Lil Wayne - How to Love
For some reason I hate it when he does R&B

That is probably my favourite Stones song. Either that one or "Far Away Eyes".

Their worst hit song has to be "Tumbling Dice". An embarrassment to Exile on Main Street, really.

Ah, shit. I forgot the most obvious transgressors...

Blur - Song 2
Oasis - Wonderwall
...and pretty much every other Britpop single that's broken the American top 40.

I don't hate it, but

The Beatles - Hey Jude

Cemetry Gates is lovely in my eyes. The lyrics have a sweet poetry-like feel, and as Zer0 said, Marr's guitar work is very effective working around the lyrics.

"Oh Yeah!" by Yello also

totally over-used and too much of a novelty song, and the only song they're known for

and i totally adore Yello
