Well in the case of Bohemian Rhapsody I guess you could say it`s down to having it forced down my thoat by people with no taste telling me how much of a 'classic' it is over the past 30 years.

And November Rain is just overproduced self indulgent tripe

Kudos to anyone who nominated Everybody Hurts (wtf?) and Wonderwall (the reason I don't blame people for hating Oasis).

But I don't think there are really many cases where the band's best known song is also its worst. Sure, we hate them because they're overplayed and medicore, but there are some REM songs worse than Everybody Hurts (not by much, but they are worse) and Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't quite as awful as some of the junk on Nevermind.

For that reason, I can't nominate Satisfaction or Rock The Casbah or Hey Jude or even Sounds Of Silence.

One that comes very close, though, is Marquee Moon. If it wasn't for The Dream's Dream and Little Johnny Jewel, this would be the worst Television song by a country mile.

Another one is Be My Baby. The Ronettes (and Phil Spector) had so many truly great pop tracks (Do I Love You?, Born To Be Together, Walking In The Rain), and this awful piece of fluff is their best known? If it wasn't for So Young, this would be a shoe-in.
