Morning all, I think it’s fair to say that most decent artists and bands are capable of the odd stinker. Here’s a few I’ve thought of
Springsteen - dancing in the dark
Stevie Wonder- I just called to say I love you (ironically his biggest hit)
Billy Joel - Tell her about it (cheesy pop)
Elton John- kiss the bride
Muse - Uprising (sounds like a dr who remix)
Keane - crystal ball
Coldplay- that abomination with Beyoncé
Police- de do do do, de da da da (really Sting?)
Dire Straits - twisting by the pool
U2 - the sweetest thing
Feel free to agree/disagree and add your own, please don’t go slating bands, that’s not what this is about
Great artists bad songs

Everything, absolutely everything I’ve heard by Bruce Springsteen is overacted.
Sure, he’s a great musician and lyrically is superb, but it’s all so meh...

Maybe that's why I like his more acoustic albums (Nebraska, The Ghost of Tom Joad). The songs on them are essentially modern folk songs, so he's playing a role as he's singing them.

Don’t get me wrong his ability to tell stories through lyrics are absolutely amazing. It’s just I find his music does nothing at all for me.

This can be shortened to anything he did after 2003.

Yeah it’s shiiiit. Sounds like every other mainstream r&b record from the noighties on.
What you want is to go back and listen to good stuff, like Pete roc’s production. Illmatic by Nas is a good start.

Nas just doesn't get my head bobbing if you get what I mean? Never been an Eminem fan too. But that Godzilla tune is crazy how he switches it up.

The Ringer is awesome. His beef with MGK is funny. MGK wrote a pretty decent diss track but Eminem’s Killshot was slightly better
