Whats the worst overall song in rock band in your opinion?

[tmanrocks]

Whats the worst overall song in rock band in your opinion? As in : Not fun to play on anything... AND sounds horrible

I gotta say

Green grass and high tides

Hands down the worst song in the game

Its no fun AT ALL on drums , it just kills your leg and does the same little beat for about the last half of its 10 minute long hell

Its not fun on guitar either... its like some hillbillys got together and decided to write a song , but then decided to tack on an 8 minute long random hillbilly guitar wailing with no structure

Also not fun to sing

AND it sounds really.... really... lame

I hate this song with a passion >:O

[espher]

Congratulations on once again proving you have no musical taste. ;)

I'm not sure what my least favourite is. I'm actually enjoying the songs I thought I'd dislike... probably Celebrity Skin, I guess.

[tmanrocks]

Its not THE worst sounding song in the game but its up there (and this isn't about sound alone)

Im mostly pissed off at it for hurting my leg so bad :(

[defmonkey]

Wave of Mutilation.

[tmanrocks]

Wave of Mutilation.

Dam I forgot that one XD

Taste in music? How can you judge for him? Are you him? Do you share his thoughts and opinions? Music is completely subjective, and you can never say that one person doesn't have taste as his or her opinions will almost always derive from your own.

And yes, I say Green Grass and High Tides as well. I think it's just a long, boring song.

[the_spike]

Should I Stay or Should I Go

Guitar and bass are boring, vocals are lame, drums are decent though but the song is really repetitive.

You win at the internet and at life sir. :D

[salsa22]

i HATE HATE HATE black hole sun.

[NX013]

Maps, possibly the most boring song ever, vocals stay the same. guitar is boring etc. other then that Id say seven, its not as fun as six

[ThuDogFood]

I voted for the bonus songs.

Specifically Seven by Vagiant. I just didn't really like the way it sounds, and it didn't try to make up with fun parts.

Although I debated between Main Offender and Welcome Home also. But those are just meh, I actually dislike Seven.

Honestly, I like almost all of the songs up there. How dare you put Electric Version as a vote for worst song! It's awesome! :P

O_o

Welcome homes guitar is fun to say the very least

However I can totally see people HATING its drums and singing

I hate Welcome homes drums >:O (That craps so repetitive) lol (Though I do like the song)

[iNiGhTmAr3]

Dead on Arrival...ughhhh

[ThuDogFood]

O_o

Welcome homes guitar is fun to say the very least

However I can totally see people HATING its drums and singing



Well that's the point really. I actually did have fun on the guitar, I just don't like the way the song sounds (and, not knowing Coheed and Cambria, I was freaked out by the fact that the singer was a guy the first time around lol)

I really like all but a few songs in the game. And with the exception of Seven, I find those songs pretty easy to bear.

[GrayInvisible]

Flyleaf is the worst band I've ever heard.

[Micker]

Flirtin with disaster is what made me buy this game!!!! That song rocks and is fun to sing. I also really like the hole song.

I guess you missed the winking emoticon, but that's probably because you also have horrible taste in music.

:cool:

[tormentedbyu]

I actually hated the fact that I'd have to be playing some of these songs in BWT... but after playing them, I have to say that I've found something to love about ALL of them.

...Except Celebrity Skin.

[StrangeDays]

Dude! You have no idea how long I have waited to play a Pixies song in a music game! They are amazing!!! I hope they do a full DLC album!

[Vilius]

Definetly Maps. That song just plain sucks.

[sa_nick]

Should I Stay or Should I Go

Guitar and bass are boring, vocals are lame, drums are decent though but the song is really repetitive.

agreed! and whats up with all the hate for maps? its an awesome song!

[QueensoftheStoneAge]

If this poll is about the actual song and not the gameplay, then whoever votes for Green Grass and High Tides is a *****. Southern Rock is great. Skynyrd or ZZ Top would slay most of these new bands.


Skynyrd and ZZ Top DLC? Sign me up.

[prodigiouswizard]

mmm...i liked having maps in there b/c there weren't enough female vocalists and more pop rock songs, although i guess it might not be the target audience :p

worst song:
wave of mutilation

coming close:
suffrage city
detroit rock city

[ibender]

Aerosmith is the worst
also the Rolling Stones suck donkey balls

[Apples]

Really didn't care for electric version, and I like just about everything else on the disc. I even thought the fallout boy song was pretty reasonable.

[LesPaul5391]

Here it Goes Again

Perhaps it's because it was played SO much on t.v., but I was annoyed with this song before i got the game. The gameplay is boring and repetitive, especially on drums.

I feel sorry the poor, musically-challenged people who voted for Maps. Karen O is one of the coolest girls in popular music, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs's music is amazing. This is one of the funnest drum songs in Rock Band.

[CarusoBattle]

Wave of Mutilation? Should I Stay or Should I Go? Maps?

What the hell is wrong with y'all? These are great songs!

For my money, Black Hole Sun is abysmal. I love you, Harmonix, but if you ever put a song that bad in one if your games again I'm going to blow up a post office.

[WiredRacing]

Maps is great.. very Portishead.

But umm.. thrashing Blackhole Sun? Man... I loooove black hole sun, the whole band here loves black hole sun.

I dunno that I can call anything the "worst" but I'm tired of playing Creep. Oh and yeah, I groan heavily when GGAHT comes up (on drums).

Actually I think maybe Train Kept a Rollin is the song (not gameplay) I dislike the most.. yeah.. useless song.

[Alphadown99]

Congratulations on once again proving you have no musical taste. ;)

I'm not sure what my least favourite is. I'm actually enjoying the songs I thought I'd dislike... probably Celebrity Skin, I guess.
THANK YOU! The Outlaws are without a doubt one of my favorite southern rock bands. Green Grass and High Tides isn't as good as a song like There Goes Another Love Song or (Ghost) Riders in the Sky, but it's still good.

[KaYotiX]

i like most of the songs...Maps is even growing on me lol!!

[LeShrimp]

I am going to post a poll and make you pick from my own musically challenged choices


this sounds like a great idea and everyone will love me




shoulda just left the actual poll out, and let people simply state what they thought was worst.

[travmeatwad]

One of the bonus songs..

I don't remember the name but it was boring on guitar and drums.

[Catalytic]

This thread has seen hatred for Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, the Clash, the Pixies, etc. I just goes to show that it takes all kinds. There are a lot of songs on the disc that aren't great songs, but I think each is enjoyable in its own way.

[Progged]

Definetly Maps. That song just plain sucks.

Concur. Don't like the song at all.

[espher]

My least favourite song to play (so far) is now a tossup between Celebrity Skin and Train Kept A Rollin'. I love listening to the latter, but so far it isn't doing anything for me play-wise.

[WiredRacing]

Well I wouldn't say I HATE Train Kept a Rollin.. but it's really quite repetitive and long.. like Rock and Roll All Night on KR or GH3.. I mean.. argggh.. lets play this section for the 6th time now!

[Strutter]

Come on, Detroit Rock City kicks major tail. One of the greatest rock anthems there is.

[surferbill]

Come one, Detroit Rock City kicks major tail. One of the greatest rock anthems there is.

agreed dude..i think that song is great..listening to and playing on here as well!

[spacecowboy]

are you all playing on expert? because the aerosmith song on expert is a blast

i havent played all the extra songs yet, but in past guitar heroes some of those extra songs have been lame. i can see the vagiant song being like that, but i havent played it yet

[Schultzy]

I played BWT for the first time yesterday with a few friends and we were doing amazing! Then we come across the rival band challenging us to a duel for some roadies, so naturally we accept. We had some problems with the first song, but we got thorough it.
And then we came to Green Grass and High Tides... >_<
None of us had ever played this song. I had warned my band mates that this was gonna be a tough song and that it was "the Freebird of Rock Band", but I had never personally played it.
We all failed out at one time or another. We tried playing the song 3 times, we failed each time, and lost 44,800 fans...
I don't like that song...

[jkilby99]

The only song in the game so far I don't like is Wave of Mutilation, and neither do my friends. It is just so bland... none of the parts are really fun to play.

Now Monkey Gone To Heaven... that's a Pixies song I'd like to play. Vocals would be fun in the same way Sabotage is fun.

[jordan15b]

wave of mutilation= awesome for drums

[Frederf]

I haven't played all the songs but I actually like Maps, very enjoyable in our group.

So far my least favorite has been R.E.M. Orange Crush.

[jkilby99]

wave of mutilation= awesome for drums

What difficulty? On easy and medium, the only fun part is the chorus (and that's only because, to me, hitting two pads at the same time makes a satisfying "double-click"). But that part of the song isn't very interesting beyond that.

[heburb]

Actually I think maybe Train Kept a Rollin is the song (not gameplay) I dislike the most.. yeah.. useless song.

the WORST song definately. no rythm. stupid lyrics. the "band" I play with ALL hate that song when it comes up in random playlists.

[freakonate]

Really didn't care for electric version, and I like just about everything else on the disc. I even thought the fallout boy song was pretty reasonable.

^^^ I actually turn the sound off when I am forced to play this hideously attrocious song.

[PatrickY]

Not a fan of Electric Version, and I really can't stand 29 Fingers.

I'm also not fond of Highway Star, particularly since it seems to come up roughly every other gig in BWT.

[DesiredFX]

I'm going to go with Train Kept a'Rollin'.

With all the Aerosmith songs in the world, how has Harmonix ended up 0-3 with Aerosmith song choices?

[FallenAce]

You'll all disagree, I assume... but I dislike Bang Camaro's Pleasure. That song just grates on me... I really hate the whole group-sing thing the most...

[SoulScreme]

Ugh, I can't stand Electric Version. I want to murder whoever decided it should be in the game.

[Eastwood]

Maps is the most boring rythm game song to date.

[HPLabonte]

Flyleaf - I'm So Sick

along with Fall Out Boy - Dead On Arrival in a distant, distant second.

[topperharley]

I Get By That song is abysmal. The only good part is when it mercifully ends.

[SoulScreme]

Flyleaf - I'm So Sick

along with Fall Out Boy - Dead On Arrival in a distant, distant second.

Wow, I love I'm So Sick, one of my favs in the game.

[Eastwood]

Wow, I love I'm So Sick, one of my favs in the game.

They are from Temple, Texas. Have to support the home team. I bought their CD when it came out.

[gablemancer]

If you've ever played real drums (Which I'm assuming you haven't), it's basically doing the same thing over and over and over again. Same for rhythm guitar. A 10 minute song though... that's child's play, Would you rather be playing Shine On You Crazy Diamond? or The Eleven? Do you really want to play in 11/12? I didn't think so.

Anyways, I love Green Grass and High Tides, it's a rock anthem. I'd say Freebird is closer to hilbilly rock than The Outlaws.

Dead on Arrival - Fall Out Boy, Celebrity Skin - Hole, The Hand That Feed Me - NIN, I Think I'm Paranoid - Garbage (It really is Garbage toO!), Beastie Boys song, Pixies, and Bon Jovi are the ones I hope I never have to play, ever.

Wow, very narrow view of music.

[WildBillKickoff]

I completely don't get Welcome Home. Even so, I recognize the fact that it's a genre song, it's not supposed to appeal to my 30-something self, and that it doesn't suck. I have a feeling the people who are putting GGaHT are voting that way because they don't get it, not because it's bad music.

The only song that I truly feel is just bad music is Maps. Any song that I (a total hack) can pick up and play on a real guitar is simply bad music. I not only don't get it, I don't get what they were even trying for.

[HPLabonte]

Wow, I love I'm So Sick, one of my favs in the game.

well, other than that one, fall out boy, and Epic, i don't mind anything else in the game.

I love Maps, Electric Version, Wave of Mutilation, and the other songs that are getting a lot of hate here.

[SoulScreme]

Well, I like maps. But I'm only 24 and have tons of friends who love Welcome Home, but I also do not get it. The vocals grate me. Which is weird since my favorite song on the game is Run To The Hills.

[anubis311]

...the drum part is too repetitive.


Um.. they're drums... isn't that sort of the idea. You're beating out rhythms with sticks its probably going to get repetitive.

[Lareden]

Wow, I'm shocked that some of my favorite songs in the game are on that list of choices, and the songs I dislike the most are not.

A few of the worst:
Detroit Rock City
Flirtin' with Disaster
Long Time (love Foreplay though)
Mississippi Queen
Run to the Hills

This makes absolutely no sense. They were trying for a song made with a minimalist arrangement. What's so difficult to grasp about that?

[likwidomg]

Dead on Arrival. The repetitive lyrics and the tone of whatshisname's voice get to me. Not to mention my ex loved fallout boy and I had to listen to it almost constantly for about a year and a half. UGH.

[Eastwood]

This makes absolutely no sense. They were trying for a song made with a minimalist arrangement. What's so difficult to grasp about that?

Minimalist arrangement = minimal fun. What he was saying was that they picked a song that is just as easy to play in real life as it is in the game. it is insanely boring, especially on bass or guitar. Worst. Rock Band. Song. Ever.

Me and my roommate lvoe playing this song. So, you know, opinions are like buttholes and what not.

I usually hate Coheed and Cambria (especially for the vocals), but I actually kind of enjoy that song for some reason.

For the record, I'd like to mention that Maps is one of my favorite songs in the game. I also like Electric Version, Wave of Mutilation, Dead on Arrival, Celebrity Skin, Should I stay or should I go, Here it Goes Again, and I'm So Sick (my wife loves that one).

Does this mean I have a terrible taste in music? No.
Does it mean those who disagree have a terrible taste in music? No.
What it means is Harmonix did a good job compiling a list of songs that appeal to a variety of people.

Not a fan of Maiden myself, but I agree that his attitude appears to be "if it was recorded before I was conceived, it sucks".

[HPLabonte]

Not to mention my ex loved fallout boy and I had to listen to it almost constantly for about a year and a half. UGH.

I had to deal with them and Avenged Sevenfold for about a year, I hate that chick.

[Eastwood]

Me and my roommate lvoe playing this song. So, you know, opinions are like buttholes and what not.

Being a real guitarist, I like my songs to be either a.) a song that I can not yet play, but would love to learn eventually or b.) at least catchy.

da da da da da da da (lower not) da da da (lower note) da da da da da da da (higher note) da da da da da da

solo: da da da da da da da da da da da da


:confused: where is the speed and complexity (warning: may not be a real word)?

Edit: as a side note, my friends love Maps. We play it almost every night. does it make my hate for it taste a little more bitter? Sure does...

[Lareden]

You must be young if you can't appreciate Boston, Maiden, or Mountain.

I'm 30, so yeah, they are a bit before my time. I did buy that Boston album, but purely because I loved Foreplay. Keep in mind there are different types of music from that era. I enjoyed punk a lot more than metal from that time. I do love and hope for some DLC of Led Zep, Hendrix, or Beatles.

[Live Bait]

Talk about repetitive - Sabotage is not only the worst song in the game but possibly of all time

[SoulScreme]

Talk about repetitive - Sabotage is not only the worst song in the game but possibly of all time

Urge to kill rising...

[Dissent]

I'm amazed that Maps is getting panned so badly in here. I love that song. Wave of Mutilation is unquestionably great fare from one of the greatest alterna-rock bands ever formed.

If I had to pick a worst song of the major label artists I guess I'd pick that god-awful Fallout Boy "song". It's so terrible I really do feel ill after playing it.

But as far as the worst song on the game... AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS PLAYED "PLEASURE" BY BANG CAMARO? Seriously that song is so far and away the worst song on the game I just can't believe that no one else has mentioned it yet. Maybe it's just taken for granted in here that it's the worst song and everyone is debating the second worst song in which case I apologize.

Beastie Boys will forever get a pass in my book. Fan boyish, maybe. You have to admit that the song is a blast to play on bass.

[HPLabonte]

You must be young if you can't appreciate Boston, Maiden, or Mountain.

im not too big of a fan of the Maiden song, I can def. stand it, but by no means am I an Iron Maiden fan.

Foreplay/Long Time and Missisippi Queen borth rock, though

Rock Band is not Guitar Hero, so the speed and complexity of the guitar is not the defining measure of a song's worth. Dismissing Maps for the lack of complexity in its guitar line is like dismissing Green Grass and High Tides for the simplicity of its vocal track.

[Lareden]

I thought I was the only one in the world who hated the Beastie Boys. I don't mind playing that song in the game so much though, and I admit it's got some cool bass.

Pleasure (Pleasure) is just so cheesy and glam, that it makes me smile. It was perfect for the credits too.

[Eastwood]

Fine... I'll dismiss it for its lack of complexity in everything. It does not specialize in one thing. My g/f can sing it and 5 star it on expert, I can 5 star it on expert on guitar, my buddy on bass, and my buddy on drums. all 5 star, all expert, and we have played it only about 5 times. We jumped from playing it the first time on hard to expert and 5 starred it the second time we ever played it. If we ever needed a charity song on a set to earn back fans, we play maps.

[xenopherus]

My most hated song shall always be Main Offender. It's tolerable playing guitar to it, but the dudes voice... HIS HORRENDOUS, TALENTLESS VOICE!!!! It's like suffering through that terrible cover version of Heart Shaped Box on GHII.

Other notably miserable songs are: Electric Version, Flirtin' With Disaster, Here It Goes Again, and Say It Ain't So.

Most hated bonus tracks: Hands down, that nauseating Vagiant song. I might be mistaken, but I think the female vocalist is the same woman that demoed singing Main Offender for Rock Band at E3 (for the Xbox 360). If this is the same woman, that makes a lot of sense that she'd love and be inspired by that disgusting Hives band. (too bad, because she's super hot... what a waste)

Second most hated bonus song is I Get By. Why did they allow this thing to be in the game??? They sound like some untalented high school band that got turned down to audition to play at the prom.

Other than those, I love the majority of the bonus tracks. Nightmare, Outside, Pleasure and Brainpower being among my favorites.

[Eastwood]

Xeno was never found again. The last time the saw him, he was insulting a band that worked for HMX. :p

[darkhorse09]

I know that it has already been discussed, but "Train Kept A-Rollin'" is the worst song on the game. WTF. I really would have liked "Sweet Emotion" or anything else, but it's like one other poster said "0/3 with Aerosmith songs." GGaHT is a fun song, but long. Really impressed with all of the other songs. Maybe not with "Here it Goes Again," never liked that song and avoid it like the plague on the game.

[ubikkibu]

Another vote for "Train Kept A-Rollin'" by Aerosmith as the worst song in the game. They're not the greatest band (it's unfathomable that at one time they were discussed in the same context as the Stones and Zep), and this is one of their weakest songs. It sounds like a parody. The guitar part isn't terrible, but not very inventive.

"Here It Goes Again" is a nice light poppy song that had grown tiresome well before I had to play it a million times for RB. It's my second-worst contender.

"Flirtin' With Disaster" and "Ballroom Blitz" tie for third-worst.

I like most of the bonus tracks.

Having said all that, I love the music overall. Assembling a collection of songs with general appeal is a difficult and thankless task, and Harmonix did a hell of a good job.

Train Kept a rolling is a lot of fun to play, and challenging.

Dead On Arrival = Worst Song Every Made

Firtin with Disaster is also a fun song to play, as well as Ballroom Blit

[Lareden]

There are several songs that I wouldn't pop in the ol' PMP and listen to, but I enjoy playing them in RB. There are also others that I've never heard before but would listen to outside of RB.

[Darpan Zind]

I can't get pass the Green Grass and High Tides song because my foot get tried on the bass pedal. I just can't do it, that same repetitive beat at the end especially. I wander if I need to pause the game in the middle, stretch out my ankles, and continue. It's just killing me right now. Maybe in a few weeks, though, I'll have the strongest ankles known to man?:)

[Insane3]

Aerosmith is the worst
also the Rolling Stones suck donkey balls

What? Rolling Stone suck donkey balls? Gimme Shelter is excellent. I mean... Its surely in the top 5 most influent songs of this whole game and it's the 38th best song according to the Rolling Stone magazine. (Rolling Stone magazine didn't choose their name because of the Rolling Stones btw)

I don,t care you you say about aerosmith lol, i don't know them enough to care


mmm...i liked having maps in there b/c there weren't enough female vocalists and more pop rock songs, although i guess it might not be the target audience :p

worst song:
wave of mutilation

coming close:
suffrage city
detroit rock city

Wow wow... wooooow wooooow! Suffragette city and detroit rock city in your worst songs list! Maybe you don't understand the importance of David Bowie and Kiss (well i gotta admit Kiss's cheesy) in rock's evolution... You can say you don't like them but don't say it's bad.

[Insane3]

Smoke on the water. This is one of the easiest songs in the whole damn guitar world. Everybody knows thats song. EVERYBODY!

[Eastwood]

Smoke on the water. This is one of the easiest songs in the whole damn guitar world. Everybody knows thats song. EVERYBODY!

It has more depth in its notes than maps does. Better drums, better vocals, and a better solo.

[Lareden]

Wow wow... wooooow wooooow! Suffragette city and detroit rock city in your worst songs list! Maybe you don't understand the importance of David Bowie and Kiss (well i gotta admit Kiss's cheesy) in rock's evolution... You can say you don't like them but don't say it's bad.

This isn't contemporary music appreciation 101. A song's importance in the history of rock evolution has nothing to do someone's enjoyment of said song.

Personally I hate Detroit Rock City. But have a hard time understanding how someone could hate Suffragette City... that song is great!

[Lareden]

My most hated song shall always be Main Offender. It's tolerable playing guitar to it, but the dudes voice... HIS HORRENDOUS, TALENTLESS VOICE!!!! It's like suffering through that terrible cover version of Heart Shaped Box on GHII.

Speaking of bad covers... How about that Tom Sawyer cover? I love Rush--though Tom Sawyer would be a bottom pick from their library for me--and I just cannot stand the sound of the guy that sang the cover. I gotta give him some credit for trying though. Geddy Lee's shoes are hard to fill.

[ubikkibu]

Suffragette City = good
Detroit Rock City = bad
My opinion = mine

One song that always made me cringe on the radio, but which we love to play in Rock Band, is Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive." Its soft/hard sections and progression are really predictable and trite to my ear, but in RB it works very well with the game flow. I can't stand Bon Jovi, but we whoop it up every time we play that song in RB.

[Rokkstar]

Dead on Arrival is a great song...

[blakbuzzrd]

well, other than that one, fall out boy, and Epic, i don't mind anything else in the game.

I love Maps, Electric Version, Wave of Mutilation, and the other songs that are getting a lot of hate here.Agreed on both likes and dislikes.

"Epic" is complete and utter rubbish. It was rubbish back when it came out, and it's rubbish now. Whenever I have to sing it, I change the chant to "What is this? It's sh*t! What's this song? It's sh*t!"

And I get "awesome" for it.

[Rokkstar]

you're a fu<gds>cking idiot.

I guess me and you are indistinguishable.

LOL, yeah. I freakin hate that song. But it's just so over-the-top cheesy, it somehow went full-circle and became fun to get into in Rock Band.

[HPLabonte]

LOL, yeah. I freakin hate that song. But it's just so over-the-top cheesy, it somehow went full-circle and became fun to get into in Rock Band.

same here, I'm not a Bon Jovi fan by any means, but this song is a lot of fun!

[blakbuzzrd]

LOL, yeah. I freakin hate that song. But it's just so over-the-top cheesy, it somehow went full-circle and became fun to get into in Rock Band.I know. I can't wait to embarrass myself when that song comes up. It's not even in my range to sing, and I still can't wait to get my redneck on.

[Lareden]

I guess my mental facilities are lacking while engaged in sexual intercourse as well (aka, I'm a ****ing idiot), because I like Dead on Arrival too.

[Lareden]

I know. I can't wait to embarrass myself when that song comes up. It's not even in my range to sing, and I still can't wait to get my redneck on.

We can't even do it on hard vocals, not because it's actually hard, but because we really have a tendency to ham it up and just can't stick to mimicking the vocal track. Usually everyone in the room starts singing along too.

[psyborg]

Definatly picked Dead on Arrival, horrible horrible song.

But its a non-issue for me because anytime I have to play it I turn down the background music and pretty much just hear the drums. Only song on the entire game that I do that for.

I can't believe 30 people picked Maps though, its a very beautiful song and really interesting drumbeat and vocals(bass and guitar are a little too simple though so whatever)

[stripesRWB333]

Outside by Tribe is really crappy. It goes on forever and is so boring. It isn't as bad as red lottery or yes we can from guitar hero 2.

[markmkm88]

How do people hate Maps? Its so incredibly catchy. I love that song

[Lareden]

Outside by Tribe is really crappy. It goes on forever and is so boring. It isn't as bad as red lottery or yes we can from guitar hero 2.

YES!

That's the one I've been trying to think of. That song is pretty bad, sounds like an amateur production too. I don't know how people can find faults in Dead on Arrival, yet say nothing about Outside and Detroit Rock City.

[markmkm88]

I completely don't get Welcome Home. Even so, I recognize the fact that it's a genre song, it's not supposed to appeal to my 30-something self, and that it doesn't suck. I have a feeling the people who are putting GGaHT are voting that way because they don't get it, not because it's bad music.

The only song that I truly feel is just bad music is Maps. Any song that I (a total hack) can pick up and play on a real guitar is simply bad music. I not only don't get it, I don't get what they were even trying for.

Just because it easy to play doesn't mean its a bad song. They are trying to go for a fun song to play for everyone. I don't get some people sometimes. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have a very distinct style of playing. Its not about being a challenging riff or any means like that. I would like to know what songs you do like...

[Julio_No_Mas]

Maps. *shudder*

[Zillatron]

Am I the only one that absoleutly loves Maps!

Heh.

[markmkm88]

Maps. *shudder*

What don't you like about it?

[HPLabonte]

I <3 Maps!!!

nobody loves it like i love it!!!

maaAAAAAaAAaAaaaaaaAAApss

[Havick]

i have to go with Sick Sick Sick, ... its Sick litraly

[Hoju]

Worst SONG in rock band? Definitely Fall out boy.

Most BORING song in rock band after a couple of plays? Have to say Maps.

And I think we should soon have nominations for "official person to hunt down people who bash Maiden" type-person. Hell, I'll even supply said person with instruments of pain.

[WingsOfSteel]

Maps is f--king great for vocals. I drop the song an octave and belt it like a lounge singer, complete with "This ones for the ladies!" intro.

Also, Reptilia and Main Offender inspire burning hatred on vocals. Reptilia isn't bad(except for the singer), but Main Offender is terrible.

Nightmare's also pretty bad.

[DethBoxx]

There are several I don't care for that I'm probably mentally blocked from even thinking about right now...but that song 'Ballroom Blitz' is pretty damn annoying.

[DethBoxx]

Smoke on the water. This is one of the easiest songs in the whole damn guitar world. Everybody knows thats song. EVERYBODY!

Only the main riff. Most people have no idea how to play the whole song.

[r0ckst@r]

Sabotage, probably because I don't like the beastie boys

[Alphadown99]

I'm going to go with Train Kept a'Rollin'.

With all the Aerosmith songs in the world, how has Harmonix ended up 0-3 with Aerosmith song choices?

I KNOW! Last Child, and then Same Old Song and Dance, and NOW THIS? Wow! Let's have like Love in An Elevator, Draw the Line, Living On The Edge how about????

[DethBoxx]

Boo! Hiss! I would much rather have the 70s Aerosmith songs ANYDAY than that 80s and later pop crap.

[HubbubJub]

Don't worry, I love Maps too!

I'm surprised that not many people have called out Welcome Home for being completely, utterly terrible. It's not so much that it sounds like canned emo/progressive rock, but more that it completely lacks poetry. Last I checked, music was considered an art, and Coheed and Cambria completely defecates all over that notion. I mean the lines are just terrible; "before I hope you die"? Oh God, please don't hope I die! I really tried to like it (I managed to tolerate Dead On Arrival), but it's hopeless. The song is completely devoid of thought and merit.

Some might argue that music is about feeling. It's too bad that Welcome Home is the artistic equivalent of a canvas completely covered in red. Yes, I understand what you're feeling, but could you please put some thought into it before you do? Maps, which seems to be suffering the most in this thread, is a good example of a song that does a lot with a simple arrangement. Sure, it doesn't have complicated chord progressions or an insane solo, but it makes you feel. It doesn't wield sound like a cudgel; it is subtle and powerful at the same time. Creep is similar; while it might not be heavy lyrically, it is precisely the contrast of small words and big riffs that really makes the listener feel.

Oh, and Epic is pond scum as well.

[Vengeance]

i cant think of any songs on rockband that i hate they are all fun

Welcome Home has some kick ass riffs. As the Guitarist of the band, I love it when that song comes up. I can play that song on a real guitar, as well. You have to do a harmonic on e, which is the hardest string (IMO) to do a pinch harmonic on. Plus the solos are fun to play.

[Symphonite]

Ah, yes. It's great that you quoted the post that you did when writing this message. It explains the two battling sides of what makes a good song in such an elegant manner that I wouldn't have been able to explain otherwise. Your views reflect technical merit as good music while the other explains artistic/emotional expression as good music. I myself tend to land somewhere in the middle, as overly technical music grates my ears (Dragonforce and most metal in general...) while some "artsy" music just goes way overboard to the point where the music suffers.

Now in context of the game, there are songs that are no fun to play but are good songs and there are songs that are fun to play but are terrible songs.

For example, I love the song Say It Ain't So, but except for the vocals it's not that much fun to play (although it's a great intro to guitar/vocals simultaneously...). Same deal with Go With The Flow. I also think Run To the Hills is a horrible song *hides away from the metalheads...*, but all of the parts are a lot of fun to play. Same deal with Here it Goes Again.

[HPLabonte]

Boo! Hiss! I would much rather have the 70s Aerosmith songs ANYDAY than that 80s and later pop crap.

Truth, maan. I can't stand a lot of Aerosmith, because of the whole transformation from gold like Back in The Saddle, and Movin Out to BS like Don't wanna Miss a Thing.

[Rockisthelaw]

I am going to have to go with train kept a rolling. I hate that song!

[HubbubJub]

Heh, that's funny, because the only person that doesn't groan in my band when it comes up is the lead guitarist.

[Lareden]

i cant think of any songs on rockband that i hate they are all fun

What? A purely positive comment on the internet? Where did you come from?!

Seriously though, it's easy to hate on something. But the fact is all these bands made songs that appeal to lots of people, and they did a good job in their own right. I wish I could make money just writing songs, so kudos to all those bands. Having said that, I still wish Detroit Rock City was omitted. I'd really love to have a feature where you can disable certain songs from coming up in BWT. There'd have to be a cap on it so people don't just disable everything except the easiest songs.

[Lareden]

Truth, maan. I can't stand a lot of Aerosmith, because of the whole transformation from gold like Back in The Saddle, and Movin Out to BS like Don't wanna Miss a Thing.

Hehe, Don't Wanna Miss a Thing is the epitome of emo in my opinion. For some reason punk-prog is often called emo instead though. Just like jazz-punk is called ska, even though it's nothing like the ska of the 50's. I'll never understand these stylistic labels.

[Bullseye]

OK, so this poll is getting some age on it, but I finally got around to playing The New Pornographers song Electric Version...and it is BUTT. About half through the song I just wanted to turn off the drivel. I would have rather had one less song and shave off $0.33 off the asking price. Or rather they had a Cher song in it (OK, that's an exaggeration). That Fallout Boy song takes a close second (craptastic!), but at least it didn't make me vomit. And to think, there are people out there that hated the Aerosmith song...

[IAces HighI]

cherrybomb.... its dlc. For bonus stuff seven is horrible along with timmy and the lords of the underworld. that song was a joke on a tv show that makes fun of people.... as for regular setlistsongs green grass isnt a bad song but its not fun to play. Half the song is a solo, and your hand gets tired after about 7 minutes into the song. And once you get to 80% its stupid on guitar. And I cant believe dead on arrival is being voted worst song right now... people really cant think for themselves anymore can they

and as for the kid who keeps saying peopl ehave bad taste in music... your an idiot. taste is personal prefference.. how could you possibly have bad preferences.. to do that you would have to say you like music you dont like and you dislisk music you like. please tell your parents to not let your 5 year old self post complete garbage like that anymore....

[Lareden]

So me and the wife were playing last night and GG&HT came up in a random set list. I believe her exact words were "wow, that song sucks. Why'd they put that stupid song in the game?"

So, for the record, her vote for worst song is GG&HT, but she also dislikes Outside.

[Lareden]

I played Dead on Arrival on drums for the first time. Wow, that is a lot more complicated than I would have thought. Kinda tough. Really fun though!

Every time I sort by genre I wonder why the hell that song is under emo. It's not emo at all.

Edit: sorry, this is kinda off-topic.

[Karmeleaux]

My personal least favorite is Detroit Rock City by KISS. I'm aware KISS had an impact on rock and roll history. I'm also aware that I don't like their sound.

Next is probably I Can Go With The Flow by Queens of the Stone Age (I actually like some of their stuff, but not this song), then Sufragette City by David Bowie.

Also, I think Green Grass and High Tides is alright as a song, but, for every instrument I've played it on (all except vocals), I haven't enjoyed it.

Electric Version by The New Pornographers is probably the most superfluous, as Fall Out Boy is at least relevant in the fact they're popular in the mainstream right now. Granted, I like singing 'streaming out of the magnets' in a high-pitched voice, so the song fits my tastes. Or vice versa, more likely.

I don't like Courtney Love as a person, but Celebrity Skin's kinda fun as a band in my opinion.

I can't understand not liking Should I Stay or Should I Go?, nor Here It Goes Again, personally, but obviously that's me. Flirtin' with Disaster and Maps I can understand, especially the latter, but I think they bring diversity to the game.

[Trunks252]

Green grass and high tides? are you serious!
I had never heard the song before I played it last in guitar solo career, and I immediately fell in love with it. Ill be so bold to say that it is the most fun song to play on guitar.

Dont judge a song based on one peripheral. Each song was put in for a reason, Green grass and high tides being in there for guitar mostly, Jukebox hero for vocals, Tom Sawyer for Bass, Run For the Hills for drums, etc.

[Transbrak]

all the songs i didnt think i would like, i have grown to like, except detroit rock city.

so my least favorite song is detroit rock city.

[Nakor]

God I hate Rush. Ugghhh.

[DethBoxx]

Yeah I don't care for the New Pornographers or Kiss stuff either.

There are tons of songs I love though.

[AdamTheBassist]

I love this thread because no one can agree. It's an actual debate and the attacks are kept a minimum *thumbs up* That said, i have to go with Green Grass and High Tides; While i find i do like the song, It's just too long. Wasn't there a radio edit of the song, or was it one of those "I need to piss i'll put this song on" songs that DJs back in the day used to love? My friend and i think that if it kept that one faster tempo at the beginning, it'd be much MUCH more fun :)

[GrayInvisible]

I like how if you vote that you hate Fall Out Boy, you are a conformist or something.

[sku22man]

that song sucks on drums, the last part is agony. it is a trip to drummer hell, seems like the guitar would have fun though...

[Bryan Atomic]

Gimmie shelter. I hate that song so much, the vocals is hard and you cant hear his voice over the womens vocals most of the time. that and I hate the rolling stones.

[Lilia]

Sabotage by Beastie Boys, god, I hated that, it's so discordant it's borderline painful to my ears.

[paulk11087]

i HATE HATE HATE black hole sun.

LOL yeah. It drags on for wayyyyyyy too long. I thought it was an alright song that I didn't really care much for pre-Rock Band. But now that it's on the game... I hate it

[John Locke]

wave of mutilation is horrible. By far the worst song in the game and possibly music history. Everyone I play the game with thinks the same thing.

[WhiplashTW]

i refuse to vote. i have way too many that are tied for least favorite. i don't hate any particular song, i hate things about of many of them.

Ballroom Blitz should have been the Krokus version.
GG&HT should have been the radio edit (less than 4 minutes long)
Tom Sawyer should not have been a cover, try harder to get the real version.
Sabotage should have been "No sleep til Brooklyn"

just little personal quirks like that.

[Wildcat3170]

least favorite are the songs who's guitar part is basically ONLY 'chords'... just isn't fun to me. But as of last night, that stupid ass Iron Maiden song (fanbois flame ON!). Drums on hard/expert is just ******ed and I can't see how anyone has fun playing that, the guitar is just as lame. ugh. Was such a good setlist till that song to end it...

[d0sb1g0tes]

I'd have to say "Epic" by Faith No More.

[abasketfullofpuppies]

its good to see that reasonable people still exist in this world. Me too man. That crappy pop song sucks balls.

[abasketfullofpuppies]

I like how if you vote that you hate Fall Out Boy, you are a conformist or something.

If hating fall out boy makes me a conformist, then i am a total sellout.

[Thats_Bull]

This song annoys me to my very core... whenever I have to play it I just want to punch something. It is not difficult, and the chick who sings it sounds weird (at least I think she does.)
After that, I would probably have to say Go with the Flow. I don't know what it is about this song, I just don't like it very much.
To thread starter - It escapes me how you cannot like any part of GGHT. Maybe the singing and drums aren't as great, but the guitar at least makes up for it... If you don't like that song, I can't imagine the songs you do like.

[AdamTheBassist]

I'm starting to think this thread should be called "I wish i could sing because i'm jealous of lead singers" seriously, not every song needs a huge ridiculous guitar solo. I don't think Fall Out Boy belonged in the main game, but at lead they're vocally challenging... in fact, most of the songs i hear people disliking (with the exception of Green Grass and High Tides) are the vocal heavy songs. That's why there's guitar hero, and probably why you're playing this game... cuz your band kicked you out.

[PS3RockBand_Maverick-1986]

Seven Is The Worst!!!!

[TruckinChris]

I think that Maps is the worst song on here. It has terrible vocals and the drums are just too repetitive.

[PacoL250]

And then we came to Green Grass and High Tides... >_<
None of us had ever played this song. I had warned my band mates that this was gonna be a tough song and that it was "the Freebird of Rock Band", but I had never personally played it.
We all failed out at one time or another. We tried playing the song 3 times, we failed each time, and lost 44,800 fans...
I don't like that song...


Oh man, that's a lot of fans... :( :(

I guess "to each their own" in regards to a song they hate. Try playing the guitar and singing the vocals on Ride the Lightning.

I'm sure for some people, it may not be hard, and even though I got 4 stars (around 4.5 to be more precise), I'm wondering how I'd do with both guitar and vocals set on medium instead of easy or a combination of either.

Yes, I played it on easy. I played GH starting from there and moved on up. Still, no mockery. Plz, kthnx. :p ;)

[Setsu]

Whats the worst overall song in rock band in your opinion? As in : Not fun to play on anything... AND sounds horrible

I gotta say

Green grass and high tides

Hands down the worst song in the game

Its no fun AT ALL on drums , it just kills your leg and does the same little beat for about the last half of its 10 minute long hell

Its not fun on guitar either... its like some hillbillys got together and decided to write a song , but then decided to tack on an 8 minute long random hillbilly guitar wailing with no structure

Also not fun to sing

AND it sounds really.... really... lame

I hate this song with a passion >:O

You're insane for not liking Green grass and High Tides. You must simply have no appreciation for good music. The length of a song should not determine it's worth. It's pretty close to my favorite song in the game.

I personally dislike a lot of the bonus tracks.

[Brew78]

I gotta go with Maps.

I hate that song. HATE IT.

This song is to Rock Band what "Yes We Can" was to Guitar Hero.

[Cosma]

I'd have to say that the song I hate the most in RB is Creep. I have never liked the song and RB hasn't done anything to make it any better.

[gamegod81]

I am really, very surprised that BALLROOM BLITZ is not one of the choices here.
that song is so incredibly stupid i openly refuse to play it.
aside from that, 29 fingers is definitely tied for the worst song in the game, no doubt.

[R0ck3r]

For me it's one of these:

Celebrity Skin
Dead on Arrival
or
I'm So Sick

[Setsu]

I think it's really fun to play Ballroom Blitz as far as vocals go.

[sku22man]

Maps, possibly the most boring song ever, vocals stay the same. guitar is boring etc. other then that Id say seven, its not as fun as six

yeah i can agree with that

[HPLabonte]

boo for all the Maps, Green Grass and High Tides, and Electric Version hate!

Those 3 are some of my favorite to play!

WGFA is #1 of course, but Electic Version's def. #5 or #6.

[Muuse]

but nothing on the kick pedal has been hard on me...
now if they had double bass in this game i might be a little sore (i suck at in real life, and Rock Band is harder than real instruments....)

i think Maps on Expert is one of the best songs for drums... it feels realistic and fairly challenging. it and In Bloom are the songs i've ENJOYED the most so far...

but as to what i DISLIKE... idk, GGAHT is pretty repetitive... but i've only gotten about a quarter through expert (i just got the game Saturday night)... so i can't really say.

[Skylark]

I think it's really fun to play Ballroom Blitz as far as vocals go.

The guitar's pretty wicked, too. Hell, as an added challenge, try playing guitar and singing simultaneously. Fun, but hard.

As for worst song (in regards to playability, as debating opinion/taste is stupid and pointless): I have a problem with the vocals in Reptilia. I'm a pretty good singer, and had no problem on vocals on Expert until I got to that damn song. I played it by sight, by ear, and a little of both, and was never even close to the mark. I swear, I think it was calibrated off key (or the singing is really hard to hear because it's almost at talk-level).

Aside from that, I find something positive in just about every other song I've encountered. Even songs I wouldn't ordinarily like provide something that keeps me coming back (be it in the form of vocals, guitar, bass, or drums), so I'm pretty good with everything else.

Edit: And did somebody actually suggest Foreplay/Longtime as the worst song? HERESY!

[CaptainAquas]

I think a lot of people have forgotten that The Beastie Boys have a song in this game. I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to not like music that sounds like kittens being tortured by a howling wolverine that has strep throat.

Oh, and Queens of the Stoneage's "Sick,Sick,Sick" is easily the worst buck fifty I have ever spent in my life. Serves me right for buying the song without knowing what it sounded like.

[GamerSW]

I personally hate Train Kept A'Rolling. It sucks, why didn't they put a good Aerosmith song on there? Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, Dream On? All great songs.

[Tiptup300]

1) Maps does not suck, nobody wants to vocals for it and the guitar is as easy as pie, but its one of my favorite songs to drum to.
2) Train Kept A'Rolling just keeps on rolling, on and on, on and on, its like an infinite loop of kinding boring riffs.
3) GG&HT is EMAZING!!!!! I <3 this song so much, its soooo much fun on guitar. The drums are a little bit tiring, buy HEY! thats what the pause button is for.
4) Electric Version is not fun to play on any intstrument and its just irritating.
5) Celebrity Skin isnt that bad of a song, I enjoy it to a point, and it seems the developers made it one of the most exciting songs to watch in the game...
6) Brain power, are you freaking kidding me? Excuse me while I go cut off my ears.
7) Fall out boy, WHY!?!??! Why not go with a GOOD emo band, such as MCR.
8) Should I stay or should I go isnt that fun to play, is kinda irritating to listen to, but not THAAAT bad.
9) Timmy & The Underlords owns all.

[WingsOfSteel]

Oh, and Queens of the Stoneage's "Sick,Sick,Sick" is easily the worst buck fifty I have ever spent in my life. Serves me right for buying the song without knowing what it sounded like.

Yup, pretty much.

[Zoop]

Run to the Hills.

[NyjerPlease]

Wave of Mutilation.

The only song that comes close is "Outside" and that song by something elephant.

[AxlVanHagar]

Fun thread! I have to admit I am kind of shocked at some of the songs mentioned that people hate but to each their own. I am completely shocked howver that only three or four people mentioned I Get By by Honest Bob and the whatchamacallits. That is the lone song in the game that I just truly couldn't get into. Enjoyed all the others to one extent or another.

[bombavich]

Ballroom blitz is the worst song I've ever played on any rythym game. I can barely listen to it. I've been tempted to play it with the sound off on career mode just to get through it. The annoying voice, camp lyrics, just irratating.

Other than that I find the punky songs a little boring; Blitzkrieg Bop and Should I Stay or Should I Go. Don't mind them outside of the game, just feel a bit disappointed whenever I have to play them.

Quite like green grass and high tides, the endurance element on drums I think is quite fun. Maybe I'm a little sadistic.

[x2ibanez2x]

Timmy and the Lords of the underworld

[Karlemayn]

Hate to sing it, hate to play it. It's not Rock, and doesn't belong in Rock Band!

[eliandthecottonjins]

why does Ballroom Blitz sound like it was recorded by Snagglepuss?

[Lady Siara]

Timmy and The Lords of The Underworld, or Sabotage, or Epic, or any of the stupid songs that you can't really sing/talk. Dead on Arrival is actually pretty good, and I'm not a fallout boy fan. The lyrics are kinda catchy. XD

[Hastyl3]

Obviously, Dead On Arrival
1. How many people like intercourse with donkeys and using them as vocals?
2. The intro was the only part that won't make your ears bleed.
3. Complicated drums? you mean the stuff that's been in every track they've done?

[shelion]

I think a lot of people have forgotten that The Beastie Boys have a song in this game. I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to not like music that sounds like kittens being tortured by a howling wolverine that has strep throat.

Now that's damn funny! And I agree wholeheartedly. I'm a Beastie's fan but that song just blows ass. As someone else said, if you're going to include the Beastie Boys in RB (a debatable point in and of itself) then why not "No sleep til Brooklyn", a song that is decent to listen to. "Sabotage" nearly makes my ears bleed.

Of course, I like "Maps". It's fun to sing and the drum solo at the beginning challenges my newbie, non-drumming butt, even on easy. (Those of us that aren't musicians or dedicated whole days of our lives to playing have merit too! :D )

[Skylark]

3) GG&HT is EMAZING!!!!! I <3 this song so much, its soooo much fun on guitar. The drums are a little bit tiring, buy HEY! thats what the pause button is for.

Which is a moot point in online play.


4) Electric Version is not fun to play on any intstrument and its just irritating.

Speak for yourself; I love singing and playing this song on both guitar and bass.

[JoshuaB81285]

I vote "Maps"...song is so lame.

And shame to people who claim "GG&HT" is the worst. That song is so killer-fun to play on guitar, though I do agree with it being streneous with drums...that whole snare/kick then snare/tom part over and over is so lame.

[YouAreNotSpecial]

Celebrity Skin. Its not fun for anyone

[TheTygur]

I gotta say the fallout boy one. I generally don't like that style of vocals at all, but I pretty much hate everything thats fast punk or thrash, with exceptions. Fallout boy did OK with the arms race song I suppose. Theres a couple bonus songs that really get on my nerves too, and the coheed and cambria vocals have always annoyed me, but its forgivable because the rest of the song is great. Rush is annoying as well but they are forgiven for same reasons as coheed. The xmas pack featured some horrible vocal songs as well, but I still got it and most of em are pretty fun on drums.

The best ones for vocals for me are the metallica songs, soundgarden, nirvana, stone temple pilots and smashing pumpkins. But I just love grunge and alternative a lot anyway.

[DM725]

Did somebody say they hated Black Hole Sun? That is probably one of the most fun overall songs to play in the game. The Guitar part is above the average of the rest of the tracks in the game, the Drum part is awesome and the Vocals are, well, do I even have to remind anyone that in his prime Cornell was one of the best vocalists of all time?

Kill Yourself whoever said Black Hole Sun was the worst song in the game, this concludes my rant against the musically botarded....

[Rock_Starman]

After actually playing the game I'd say GG&HT. As much as I hate Fallout Boy and Flirtin' with Disaster I can't say I got bored and turned the game off in the middle of the song. I do love the intro though.

[Renegade1007]

eGotta say Celebrity Skin....

I thought I would hate the Fall Out Boy Song but surprisingly, its not that bad of a song to play, sing, etc.....I guess fall out boy does have a song that just absolutely doesn't suck

EDIT:

Dude....The vocals for Blackened are horrible....and I love doing the vocals for the Emoish stuff....I just wish the game caught screaming a little better because then the scream parts on "I'm so Sick", "The Kill", etc would read when I do them

[army_of_me]

Maps, Electric Version, and Wave of Mutilation are great songs; especially if you like drums. GG&HT is annoyingly tough, but I appreciate the musicianship.

I'm not a big fan of emo, so DOA got my vote. No one in my group enjoys playing it.

[Korky89]

DISAGREEMENTS:
1. I dont like Fallout Boy, but I still think dead on arrival is really fun to play...especially drums.
2. I like Sick, Sick, Sick cuz i like the queens of the stone age

the worst song is by far........................drum roll please............................................ .......................WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE i HATE that song, the only challenging thing about playiing that song is not falling asleep. but hey.....thats just me.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

my all time favorite song is Welcome Home for guitars anyway, on medium, i can almost perfect the song, but i always miss a note somewhere... lol

[soliwit]

I really REALLY HATE gimme shelter :mad: , just get all worked up every time I have to sing it, then again I kinda not like anything of the stones, but that's just me, I know there are loads and loads of people that love them to death, they just irritate the sh** out of me, sorry :o
Second place would be dead on arrival, just plain yuk..........:rolleyes:

[DM725]

I Think That Other Than Gimme Shelter and Paint It Black the Stones Have 0 Good Songs.....

I Like Gimme Shelter Though I Don't Enjoy It With 4 As Somebody Has To Sing It...

[Shippomaru]

Maps is the least appealing for me, and all my friends. Mostly because it's just such a bore to play, and it's not even great on the ears. Bass is almost non-existant, drums are monotonous, guitar is boring, and the vocals are kind of weak.

Thats by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs right?? if so, yup. i hate it too, soo boring.

Favorite Drum song : I Think im Paranoid
Favorite Guitar Song : Welcome Home
Favorite Bass Song : I'm So Sick
Favorite Mic Song : Learn to Fly

Hate Drum Song : Orange Crush
Hate Guitar Song : Maps
Hate Bass Song : Timmy and The Lords of the Underworld
Hate Mic Song : Paranoid

[Ocyron]

Oh man, I love Maps!

My least favorites would have to be Green Grass and High Tides (the song is okay I guess, but I can't forgive it for what it does to me on drums), Wave of Mutilation (sooo boring!), and Run For The Hills.

Some of my favorites are the Queens of the Stone Age songs (Go With The Flow and the DLC songs). QotSA are probably my favorite band, and I'd love to see even more of their stuff released.

[bullyboy35]

I haven't played all the songs but I actually like Maps, very enjoyable in our group.

So far my least favorite has been R.E.M. Orange Crush.

I have to agree....I hate singing that song the most...

[brenbil]

All the modern crap on there is horrible (and i hate most of the bonus tracks too except timmy and the lords of the underworld and 29 fingers on drums)

[Styles]

Maps is definitely one of the better group songs as it's fun and catchy for all ages. Yeah it's simple, but that's the beauty of it.
In regards to the overall worst song, well I could just say anything from the Queens of the Stone Age as in MY OPINION they represent today's typical three-chord, simple-talent bands. This unfortunately is a modern trend.
The thing here is that Rock Band does not have a "worst song". We just have diversified tastes. It's difficult to make a stubborn Linkin Park kid understand the musical complexities of classics and true rock music due to the simplicity and blandness of today's bands.
Keep in mind that this game is attempting to satisfy young gamers and older gamers as well as group/party gamers and "solo" indiviuals.
In a world where reggaeton and rap is actually considered "music", I must insist that Rock Band does NOT have a worst song. Just songs that I do not care for as much but respect that they require instruments and musicianship to be performed. Even if it's a three cord song. :)
Peace.

[Elegy]

Dead on Arrival. It's like the drummer through up sticks multiple times and wrote down what they landed on

[MasterTick]

That song by The Konks.

[Dalamari]

Maps and Dead on Arrival, doing vocals on them is by far the most boring and annoying thing

MaaaAAAaaaAaAaaaAAaaaaps

[Xero314-2]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the single worst song in the game so far is In Bloom. The song is just outright boring, and I just don't like playing it on any instrument. But Cherub Rock is a real close second, I didn't like that one on the radio, on GH3 or on RB.

On the other hand I really enjoy GGHT even on drums because it's a good song and it's an endurance challenge. I would also add a vote for Next to You as one of the better songs, even though I never really heard it before playing RB.

[StiffEdub]

Guitar and Drums = Green Grass
Vocals = Bang Camaro

Worst overall: Welcome Home

[Jacobs_Ladder]

"Dead on arrival (Click this if you can't think for yourself)"

What, because I don't like MTV rock I can't think for myself? How ironic a comment considering the fact that Fall Out Boy fans are spoon fed musical oppinion....

Oh, and I agree with the original poster about green grass, the drums are exhausting.

[jjtru]

i cant realy tell off hand what song sucks the most cuz i dont pay attention to the ****ty songs. but i noticed that there was a lot of boring pointless songs that shouldnt have been on the game they made me mad wen i was playing them :mad: but there is good songs too but alot of annoying songs;)

[m00p]

Next to You. 4 Guitar there is too many three notes packed in to one. i swear theres at least 20. I played all the guitar heros and beat Jordan on Expert n 5 starred all the experts n wut not but i cannot beat this song. that n green grass n high tides. The hammer ons in rock band are a real punk n it always seems to happen more in Green Grass n High Tides. My friend tried to play the drums on Next To You n he couldnt even do it on easy n he plays drums 4 Real. Its prty sick...

[Nobeezy94]

I don't know why people chose "Should I Stay or Should I Go" there is nothing like a good old-fashion AC/DC song. But i chose "Dead on Arrival", why would Harmonix put a Fall Out Boy song in this game!

[raine697]

"Dead on arrival (Click this if you can't think for yourself)"

He is talking about the trend of it being "cool" to dis Fall out Boy on these threads.

And the Beastie Boys song isn't one of the options. Epic Fail.

[Phategod1]

Regardless of David Bowies contribution to music and Puppet Movies my vote is for Suffragette City and Fallout boy Damn the tweens.

[w0sas]

I don't know why people chose "Should I Stay or Should I Go" there is nothing like a good old-fashion AC/DC song. But i chose "Dead on Arrival", why would Harmonix put a Fall Out Boy song in this game!

Umm.... "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" was The Clash. Although I have to agree, some AC/DC would kick ass.

[foolofatook14]

Highway Star

[jblaisuri]

I can't understand anyone having a problem with Train Kept A-Rollin.... i mean, dude...yardbirds, aerosmith... it's a huge song in the history of rock n roll


i think electric version is annoying. sorry. not fun to play, not fun to listen to....

[fishfromheaven]

These are the songs my bandmates and I agree suck the worst (so far):
1. Highway Star
2. Mississippi Queen
3. Detroit Rock City
4. Train Kept A Rollin'
5. Seven

We've decided that these songs suck, not because they're performed badly or by people we don't like, or because they were overplayed on the radio, but because they're so damn annoying to play in the game. This takes into account our (pretty different) musical tastes.

Every song can have something good about it, and you can learn to love any song, but there are some that make you burst out swearing whenever they show up on Mystery Requests.

[Zidolos]

Timmy and the lords of the underworld... why in gods name is that on here its like trogdor from Guitar hero III, both completely awful. As for set songs Orange Crush is pretty terrible I dread playing it every time it comes on also Dead on Arrival and whatever that awful flyleaf song was. I can't hate on maps just because the YYY's new EP album was really good.

[Renegade1007]

I love both of those songs.....for the hilarity factor....and Trogdor is in GH2.

I love singing Timmy because its funny yet hard

[Mario_Freak4]

Personally, my least favorite is I Get By. I hate Honest Bob. I actually like Green Grass and High Tides, the drumming is a bit stale, but the guitar solo is like alot of southern rock solos *cough*Freebird*cough*. I also like Dead on Arrival. I don't like much Fall Out Boy, but the song is up-beat and just plain catchy.

[-Nick-]

what are you talkin bout click dead on arrival if you cant think for yourself?!

i love dead on arrival.

id say celebrity skin is the worst.

[BhindBluEyes430]

Green grass and high tides is amazing altough i can't beat it on expert guitar its still a great song listen to the original version its much better

im gonna say any onf the Female lead vocal songs exept that punk one in the bonus songs and DEAD On Arival plz i would pay to take that off my set list

[0tj]

Its not fun on guitar either... its like some hillbillys got together and decided to write a song , but then decided to tack on an 8 minute long random hillbilly guitar wailing with no structure


Lol, sounds like Dragonforce. Minus the hillbilly part.

BTW i hate Epic with a passion.

[gcrutch]

Celebrity skin is one of the best! I play RB with two of my daughters and they love belting out the lyrics and the guitar sections are fun to play for beginners. Plus - we just like the song, period.

And Detroit Rock City - geez - that's like Rock Opera - classic stuff and fun to play on the guitar solo.

[Valery Faye]

Yeah, you might not remember but Harmonix apparently likes to put "joke" or popular internet songs in their games. Trogdor, Thunderhorse, that track by Spinal Tap. Here's hoping to see Still Alive in DLC!

I'm going to say that horrible "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" garbage though.

[Swan117]

Flyleaf is the worst band I've ever heard.

thank you i'm so sick hands down boring on guitar and vocals and just well sucks to even hear

[LinkinPark1992]

i HATE HATE HATE black hole sun.

i didn't know any1 could hate that song.
One of my fav songs out of the 90's. Well its ur opinion not gonna hold it against u.

Also worst song even though its a joke is timmy and the lords of the underworld or dead on arrival

[jonnyfrag]

Maps...
It's a cool enough song and I 'get' the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (they are highly experimental) but for some reason my Xbox punishes us with Maps over and over and over and over on random setlists...
MAKE IT STOP!

[Deriaz]

Sabotage by the Beastie Boys.

Just. . . Just, no. No. No. NO. I refuse to play that song. Heheh. Vocals, drums, guitar, bass--Doesn't matter! I refuse to play it. It's just. . . It's an annoying song, and I can't stand to hear it. XD

-D

[benason]

i think im paranoid, or orange crush.
-_-

[Samuel346]

Black hole sun

Jesus christ, get a thesaurus or something.

Maybe some writing talent.

Black hole sun wont you come and wash away the pain, black hole sun wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come


Wow what a great song.

Don't even start with Fall out Boy, this song is just obnoxious.

[LetsRock]

Black hole sun

Jesus christ, get a thesaurus or something.

Black hole sun wont you come and wash away the pain, black hole sun wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come wont you come


Wow what a great song.

Don't even start with Fall out Boy, this song is just obnoxious.
Black hole sun is a fantastic song.

The absolute worst song in the game is that irritating Fallout Boy piece of crap. What were they thinking?

[zackmollhagen]

Should I Stay or Should I Go

Guitar and bass are boring, vocals are lame, drums are decent though but the song is really repetitive.
your weird

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Every bonus song except for Brainpower and I get by.

[Lacerare]

i HATE HATE HATE black hole sun.

Idiot. The people who say they hate this song also means you hated "The Crow" as a movie, also making you ******ed.


Aerosmith is the worst
also the Rolling Stones suck donkey balls

I understand that people aren't big fans of Aerosmith, 'cept for "Dream On", but what excuse do you have for the Rolling Stones? They had too many good songs?



For my money, Black Hole Sun is abysmal. I love you, Harmonix, but if you ever put a song that bad in one if your games again I'm going to blow up a post office.

What's so abysmal about it? Try capturing the sadness of the world in a purple looking-glass and you have "Black Hole Sun". Incubus did a cover on the song, quoting at the beginning: "We're going to move on to a song we all wish we wrote."



We all failed out at one time or another. We tried playing the song 3 times, we failed each time, and lost 44,800 fans...
I don't like that song...

My drummer had the hardest problem with this song, but I only personally screwed up twice. First time, the drummer failed with me. Second time, just the drummer. Third time, I dropped out but was saved by the drummer at the last second to finish the song.

Don't hate cuz you can't beat it.


Beastie Boys song, and Bon Jovi are the ones I hope I never have to play, ever.

/slap


I had to deal with them and Avenged Sevenfold for about a year, I hate that chick.

What's wrong with Avenged Sevenfold again?


I do love and hope for some DLC of Led Zep, Hendrix, or Beatles.

Damn straight. "Purple Haze" comes to mind out of the three.


Talk about repetitive - Sabotage is not only the worst song in the game but possibly of all time

Either you were a sheltered child, as you've never heard anything worse, or you're a stuck-up rich kid who can't relate to them because you can't relate to turmoil.


..."Ballroom Blitz" tie for third-worst.


I understand it's not Krokus, but I see no reason as why the song should be considered crappy in any regards.



One song that always made me cringe on the radio, but which we love to play in Rock Band, is Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive."

It's a great song, and the only reason you appreciate it on Rock Band is because some parts are more emphasized, therefore you can't just blatantly ignore the little things that make the song so well-made.


...but that song 'Ballroom Blitz' is pretty damn annoying.

It's not Krokus, but that's definitely not the worst song.


Sabotage, probably because I don't like the beastie boys

Yeah, probably.


I KNOW! Last Child, and then Same Old Song and Dance, and NOW THIS? Wow! Let's have like Love in An Elevator, Draw the Line, Living On The Edge how about????

"Dream On" seems feasible.


God I hate Rush. Ugghhh.

><


Gimmie shelter. I hate that song so much, the vocals is hard and you cant hear his voice over the womens vocals most of the time. that and I hate the rolling stones.

I agree that they effed up the vocals for Rock Band, but there's nothing wrong with the actual song.


Sabotage by Beastie Boys, god, I hated that, it's so discordant it's borderline painful to my ears.

*sigh*


I'd have to say that the song I hate the most in RB is Creep. I have never liked the song and RB hasn't done anything to make it any better.

Radiohead is always a 50&#37; true love or true hate. I can guess you're on the hating side.


I am really, very surprised that BALLROOM BLITZ is not one of the choices here.
that song is so incredibly stupid i openly refuse to play it.


Gee, over-react much? If the songs were truly THAT crappy, they wouldn't have made it in the game.


I think a lot of people have forgotten that The Beastie Boys have a song in this game. I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to not like music that sounds like kittens being tortured by a howling wolverine that has strep throat.

Totally the upper-middle class / rich backgrounds that hate this song. Yeah, their target audience tend to be the people who can relate to suffering. It uses historical reference and was this new version of rap-like rocking with turntablism introduced in the pop-scene.


Ballroom blitz is the worst song I've ever played on any rythym game. I can barely listen to it. I've been tempted to play it with the sound off on career mode just to get through it. The annoying voice, camp lyrics, just irratating.

I can think of some bonus songs on Guitar Hero and horrendous Jap-pop crap that was on DDR, and some songs on Karaoke Revolution, all of which had worse songs. "worst song" . . .


why does Ballroom Blitz sound like it was recorded by Snagglepuss?

Definitely isn't Krokus, but it definitely isn't that bad.


Sabotage... stupid songs that you can't really sing/talk.

What?


Did somebody say they hated Black Hole Sun? That is probably one of the most fun overall songs to play in the game. The Guitar part is above the average of the rest of the tracks in the game, the Drum part is awesome and the Vocals are, well, do I even have to remind anyone that in his prime Cornell was one of the best vocalists of all time?

Kill Yourself whoever said Black Hole Sun was the worst song in the game, this concludes my rant against the musically botarded....

Yessir!



Dude....The vocals for Blackened are horrible....and I love doing the vocals for the Emoish stuff....I just wish the game caught screaming a little better because then the scream parts on "I'm so Sick", "The Kill", etc would read when I do them

Completely agree. They screwed up the scream parts. Those songs need som serious patching. You want to see how bad it is? Take a stream with just the singer singing and play the recording to the game. It'll still be off.



the worst song is by far........................drum roll please............................................ .......................WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE i HATE that song, the only challenging thing about playiing that song is not falling asleep. but hey.....thats just me.

Yep.


I'm going to go out on a limb and say the single worst song in the game so far is In Bloom. The song is just outright boring, and I just don't like playing it on any instrument. But Cherub Rock is a real close second, I didn't like that one on the radio, on GH3 or on RB.

That's weird.


I played all the guitar heros and beat Jordan on Expert n 5 starred all the experts n wut not but i cannot beat this song

I didn't beat Jordan and didn't five-star every song and still beat this song on the first try? Umm... I don't think someone can 5-star Six and The Light That Blinds and Through the Fire and Flames and can't beat this song.


Highway Star

I know the singer hates to sing it by 50% of the time, but there's definitely nothing wrong with the song.


Sabotage by the Beastie Boys.

Just. . . Just, no. No. No. NO. I refuse to play that song. Heheh. Vocals, drums, guitar, bass--Doesn't matter! I refuse to play it. It's just. . . It's an annoying song, and I can't stand to hear it. XD

It's "wash away the rain". Here's the actual lyrics : http://lyricwiki.org/Soundgarden:Black_Hole_Sun
However, they got line three wrong, as it's "In Disguises no one knows"

[Kimura]

Creep should really be on that list, by far the most annoying song to play on guitar, vocals, or drums its not fun its not entertaining in any which way whatsoever its just annoying. The vocals bore me to death, the guitar has an annoyingly boring rhythm and the same goes for the drums. But then again this is just one guys opinion.

[Lizard_King]

dead on arrival by fallout boy.
blows balls cuz its flat out annoying. bad for vocals and guitar and bass, but challenging on drums.

[Rockbandfan23467]

Won't Get Fooled Again.

[MudFace]

train kept a rollin all night long, jesus crunk, my band i unanimously haaaate that song. thank you.

[Samuel346]

Again, Black Hole Sun.

At least Fall Out Boy doesn't repeat the same lyrics for three minutes.

[Xero314-2]

I understand it's not Krokus, but I see no reason as why the song should be considered crappy in any regards.

It's not Krokus, but that's definitely not the worst song.

Definitely isn't Krokus, but it definitely isn't that bad.


I like a good joke about people not knowing who originally made a song, but this is going too far, and is poorly executed. Had you chosen Tia Carrera's cover of Sweet's Ballroom Blitz, as I did when making the same joke, it might have been funny, but already done.

Or you are just an ignorant fool and can't realize that Krokus was paying tribute to Sweet when they, and dozens of other bands, covered the song Ballroom Blitz. The fact that Krokus is best known for a cover song is a good sign that you are betting on the wrong horse here.

Now if only we can get Love is Like Oxygen in future DLC.

And I care why? The question was what is the worst song overall to play in rock band. Not what is the song they messed the lyrics up on.
It's a boring song, and frankly no matter who I have over of my friends, no matter what instrument they play, they dread this song.

And trust me when I say my friends come from age 16 to 35 and from very different musical back grounds from classical all the way to rap.

[TheBEAST205]

Whats the worst overall song in rock band in your opinion? As in : Not fun to play on anything... AND sounds horrible

I gotta say

Green grass and high tides

Hands down the worst song in the game

Its no fun AT ALL on drums , it just kills your leg and does the same little beat for about the last half of its 10 minute long hell

Its not fun on guitar either... its like some hillbillys got together and decided to write a song , but then decided to tack on an 8 minute long random hillbilly guitar wailing with no structure

Also not fun to sing

AND it sounds really.... really... lame

I hate this song with a passion >:O

It is a bit repetitive on drums and the bass pedal is tough, but it sounds really good and I like it. It is actually a lot of better than most songs as far as musical quality go, the guitar solo's are very good.

[TheBEAST205]

Won't Get Fooled Again.

I know you didn't just say that a song by the Who was bad?

I hope that some one comes to your house and cuts your ears out so you can never hear music again. I'd hate to see what songs you like...

[PatrickY]

Maps is definitely one of the better group songs as it's fun and catchy for all ages. Yeah it's simple, but that's the beauty of it.
In regards to the overall worst song, well I could just say anything from the Queens of the Stone Age as in MY OPINION they represent today's typical three-chord, simple-talent bands. This unfortunately is a modern trend.


Odd. I'm not going to castigate you for disliking Queens of the Stone Age, but it's sort of off that you consider them a typical three chord band. Their musical arrangements are much more complex than that. It may not be to everyone's taste, but I'd hardly call it the work of simple talents.

[Rockbandfan23467]

I know you didn't just say that a song by the Who was bad?

I hope that some one comes to your house and cuts your ears out so you can never hear music again. I'd hate to see what songs you like...

I was joking. I like the song, but the long keyboard section is a pain to wait through. (Imagine what Baba O'Rily will be like....all those keys.....)


Really, I like every song. Except for mabye Go With The Flow, Main Offender, and Electric Version. They aren't bad songs, just forgetable.


BTW, Reptillia's vocals are Emo as Hell.

I find maps being one of my favorite songs, sure the lyrics are repetitive, and the guitar parts are pretty boring, but if you sing and play either guitar part at the same time, they aren't so bad, the drums I find amazing, and fun to play. plus my 2 kids (3 and 5 year olds) like to sing it, which is pretty cute too. I find timmy and the underworld to be one of the most annoying songs, it says the same thing over and over as well, but other than the slight challenge to drumming, the songs is, well, annoying to me anyways.

Without question is has to be the bonus song, Timmy & the Lords of the Underworld.

/I like Green Grass and High Tides Forever. That song is a classic and I think it's a blast to play.

even though that synestiser part in Won't get fooled again is long it makes the song its great music and its such great a build up to the drum solo and YEAAAAHHH Scream

122 people can't think for themselves.

I voted Eletric Version. Not bad, just forgettable.

I strongly dissagree. Made in Mexico make puppies commit suicide, Fall Out Boy just annoys them.
