Pretty fly for a white guy. It's not really a bad song, but it was really overused in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Americana is a great album, but every time Pretty fly starts playing it ruins it for me.

Original Prankster was similar on the next album. Like their label at the time forced one commercial track for a single on them.
I came here to say the same. It isn't bad but it doesn't mix up well with the rest...
All Star on Smash Mouth’s Astro Lounge
fush yu mang is also a great album
Waste is a great song
I can’t believe I’m saying this, somehow I never even gave Astro Lounge a fair shake. I grossly misremembered the song quality, there are some pretty good tracks on there. It’s got some cheesy gimmicks, even so it’s worth giving a listen or two at least.
It’s kinda campy. I like that about smash mouth. Fallen Horses though, that’s a great track. Genuinely good listening.

Escape from Metallica's Ride The Lightning. It doesn't ruin the album but it stains a masterpiece for sure. The band hates that song as well because they wrote it last minute to appease their record label.
That's interesting, I never knew the story behind that song. Personally I always liked it but I like just about every Metallica song.
Ticks and Leeches off of Lateralus by Tool. It's not even a bad song but the aggression ruins the flow of the album and sticks out like a sore toe.
I disliked it for a long time. Now I kinda like it. Reminds me of Jambi.
Maxwell's Silver Hammer on Abbey Road. One of the few songs I skip while listening to an album!
Revolution 9, as was often joked about on beatlescirclejerk in the other place.
i love that song
Number 9, number 9, number 9!
Good Riddance (The Time of Your Life) is a blemish on an otherwise perfect Nimrod
There's a pair of Beatles albums in this list. I don't mind "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" or "Revolution 9," but "Tomorrow Never Knows" on Revolver counts for me. Frankly, it's the worst Beatles song. I prefer the Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair cover of it on It's Spooky to the Beatles version. It's just that bad.
Any Chvrches song where one of the other members is singing (not sure who it is).
I think there's at least one on every album they've made, and it's always an immediate skip for me.

For me it is Jewels N' Drugs on Lady Gaga's ARTPOP album. I skip it every time.
The song Yoko Ono sings on the first Bleachers album. Luckily it’s the last song.
the song astrud gilberto does with her kid on beach samba ruins what is otherwise a perfect album
Couldn't agree more, that tune is cringe-inducing. A perfect example of the rule that your kids are always cuter to you than to anyone else.
To me, "Parade" on that album is also a turkey.
parade grew on me. i love the marching drums and its such a fun little ditty
Friends is one of my favorite Beach Boys albums, but Anna Lee the Healer just rubs me the wrong way. Instant skip
Off the top of my head, "Benny the Bouncer" on Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery. It should have been a B-Side of a single or something like that but it does not work on that album at all. For me, it's just a goofy unneeded intermission before "Karn Evil 9" that I always skip.
I love Dragonforce's entire discography, with one massive exception in that Evil Dead is horrible beyond words.

I almost never skip songs on albums, but Panda Eyes & DatPhoria - Keep Going ruins Panda Eyes' KIKO album IMO. The verses and drops were clearly written by two different people, but it sounds like they never heard each other's parts. Like they were glued together from separate songs.
I don't think it ruins the album, but Oh, Daddy on Fleetwood Mac's Rumors is kind of the only stinker on there. It would have been better with Silver Springs instead I think.
Wouldn't go so far as to say it "ruins" the album, but "Shakermaker" is quite a letdown compared to the rest of "Definitely Maybe".
