Songs Bands Regret the Most?

I suspect all bands that have been around awhile have at least one song they regret recording, let alone releasing. There are songs that were duds out of the gate. Don't forget the tunes that just sound dated and embarrassing these days... and then there's those attempts where bands tried to drastically alter their sound in an effort to appear "current."

When I think of songs bands might regret, my mind immediately goes to Motley Crue and "Brandon." Continually mocked, the song is basically a dud. I know Tommy Lee wrote the tune when he was emotional and happy at the birth of his son Brandon... but the song doesn't exactly fit Motley, now does it? Other regrettable duds off the top of my head? Well, there's Bon Jovi's entire Bounce album.

A long time ago, Yahoo! Music selected Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" as the most embarrassing song of the 80s. Now "most embarrassing" and "most regrettable" are not exactly interchangeable, but close. I completely disagree with Yahoo! and I actually think "Rose" is one of the most iconic songs of the 80s, but I digress. We're talking about songs we think bands regret today... so give 'em to me: what are your thoughts?

Warrant's Cherry Pie. Even Jani hated that effing song.

And Allyson, Youre CRAZY. The Bon Jovi BOUNCE record is AWESOME!!!!

"I Was Made For Loving You" from Kiss immediately comes to mind......

[glamrockerarchie]

[KEVON]

Wow, i actually like Generation Swine, Belly To Belly, Dysfunctional, and Carnival of Souls! Music from the Elder comes to mind as a regret.

[Chessie >^..^<]

"Purple Haze" - Winger...it just seemed to be the 'in' thing to do Hendrix remakes, but geez... :S

[NIkkeSixx]

Alice Cooper - Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever... just. stop. already.

[Sean]

Jani Lane said he regretted cherry pie

[Canada goose expedition]

Will you be keen on changing back links?

Bounce was an awesome record! Other than their Have a Nice Day album, they havent done anything memorable since.

[Shadow]

Hmmm, Have to say to say Never Say Die has been publicly destroyed by Ozzy as the worst album he ever made with Sabbath. As For Kiss, although the fans are split on it (I love this record)The band has blasted The Elder. Ace has spoken a little differently about it recently though. And Yeah, Johnny B Goode by Priest is just painful to see.

[fletch]

I know the song I sung for so long that I regret most...ah peer pressure at it's finest...

[hlbetz]

KISS - Let's Put the X in Sex!

[Metalboy!]

"Cherry Pie" has to be the standout here.

See my list for Al's more recent "One Hit Wonders" post. I bet most of those are songs the bands regret most, even if they were their biggest meal tickets.

p.s. OTSK!
