I love it when old rappers go boomer and rant about "music these days" and make the worse music of their lives.
Who does though? Nas didn't put that song on his record
Reminds me of when Green Day bashed modern music and proceeded to make the worst album of their career.
What one was that? there's been a lot of terrible ones lately🤣
@@playingmusiconmars eminem
Basically all artists that topped the charts at one point
Finn discovering the existence of Accidental Racist is an all-timer
I'm not racist, I just like a flag that stood for making slavery permanent!
Ministry’s bad song sounds like pop today
“Hot dog music.” “Macy’s music.” We need a tear off calendar filled with Finnisms
"Cartoon parrot music" is the one I'll always remember
Apple commercial music
"Djenting in a colored room" is a personal favorite
Legitimately felt third-hand embarrassment upon Finn seeing the lyrics to that Brad Paisley one.
Of course Kanye is a great lyricist, he has this "got a light skin friend looks like michael jackson, got a dark skin friend looks like michael jackson" line that has stuck in my brain forever
The entire verse on his remix of this ain’t a scene it’s a god damn arms race is a classic.
English?
@@brookleduval5445 Among Us Amon Amarth
Gallons of rubbing alcohol is the hidden track of in utero, a random jam in a Brazilian studio placed there to scare/confuse you when it suddenly appears after minutes of silence, same as Endless Nameless
i like gallons it’s so groovy
"I always wanted to have a diaper fetish," - finn 2022
How could Fleetwood macs Rhiannon be there? That was the biggest mystery on the list and Finn skipped over it.
over the last few months I've taken a much greater shine to the second channel. for there is a lad just chilling and vapidly noting a love for wrist accessories and apparently sheep, and I'm here for it
Putting the Billie Eilish song on here, especially at number one, is kinda hilarious to me. There are so many worse songs that could be put in that spot. The song is solid and it is literally Billie Eilish doing her version of Bond song. It seems like the author of the article just doesn't like her sound and decided that the song was bad because of that.
Yeah, that was weird. It isn't great, but it certainly isn't bad either. Lists like these usually put something people have heard of at number one, because that controversy gets people talking and generates more clicks. Some random crap nobody cares about at number one would be more accurate, but would not get nearly as much attention. Always look at everything in these lists EXCEPT for number. Just consider 2 to be the true number one.
Yeah, and putting someone with just one album (at the time), is still pretty wierd. Many artist can make a great first album, but not MANY good albums, which would be required to qualify someone as "good".
It isn't even the worst Bond theme. Die Another Day by Madonna deserves that title, and also a spot on this list.
Why did Bono fall of the stage?
Because he stood too close to The Edge
Every band has bad songs, the list is endless and yet they have picked "why can't this be love", "bad" and "smooth"..
I unironically love RHCP's version of Rollercoaster. 100%.
Same
a cool 90s pop culture cut
It’s a bop.
Bruh it's what got me introduced to the band as a kid and realize white bands made music that pulled from/gave homage to older black bands my parents listened to.
Me too. i think it's a pretty good instrumentation.
So, they had Empire State of Mind on the list? That is one of the quintessential songs of the 2000's, a fucking classic.
Hey Finn - You should do a video on songs/bands that are only popular due to videogame nostalgia. I have alot of them due to NHL games like "Punk Rock 101" and "That Fire".
Yep i did one!
Better question how many ska fans were born out of thps 🤣
@Joel, that song is a quintessential Pop Punk song, one you'd expect to pull out of a time machine one day
Oh yeah @@FinnMckentyPRMBA
@@TikkiNikki i didn’t know it was so iconic, i knew it from my early days playing NHL. I like bowling for soup but you don’t hear their name much.
I really appreciate you posting your twitch vids on UA-cam , they are my favorite content of yours and living in Germany there is no way I could catch you live on Twitch at a godly hour. Thanks man 💯
Yeah I think I watch Finn's 2nd channel now more than PRMBA😂
@@Zombub The 2nd has become the main😆
I'm just not the type to watch livestreams so I love these vids instead haha
1:30AM - “Join Finn McKenty on Twitch!”
I relate to your comment, lol
Friendly reminder that Bad wad supposed to be a duet with Prince, but he shut it down when he learned MJ was going to say "your butt is mine, you're not a man".
I think the inclusion of “Bad” is done for dad joke purposes. Get it? It’s a “Bad” song.
Van Hagar for life.
Who's bad?
The amount of awful boom bap hip hop instrumentals after mid 90s is just mind boggling
You mean all those Bling Era beats with caribbean percussions?
Totally agree
I love how you skipped "Rhiannon", because somebody at Spin obviously had a bone to pick here. Fleetwood Mac may have made some average songs, but never less than that, and Rhiannon is a great song. A lot of modern day artist will never write something as good as that.
"We don't listen to music about penises on this channel"
Also Finn: **Listens to Emmure**
Ok that’s different!!
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA How about Venereas "Little Billie John" or the Chats "The Clap"? Zappas "Stick it out"? Half of Bad Religions "Get off"? You could probably make an entire stream on songs about Penises.If you include balls you get the classic Die Kassierer "Mein Schöner Hodensack".
“Smooth” by Santana and Rob Thomas being on that list does truly baffle me. Maybe it’s because I don’t mind some “yarl’ing”, but you can’t go wrong when Santana is riffing. Plus RT is one of the best looking men ever during his height.
I don’t know. Song still bangs for me. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I remember Smooth being a big radio hit when I was a kid. I assumed people liked it.
I'm glad you passed on George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You" because that song RIPS! Might be my first dance song at my wedding, no joke.
Seeing that listed hurt me deeply
killer song for sure
Yeah that and 50 ways to leave your lover both hurt me.
I love that song and I only learned recently that it's a hated song.
It's super repetitive and the melody is simplistic and boring. If it wasn't made by a former Beatle
it would never have been a hit.
Van Hagar is legit. I feel like you can't compare the two eras. They're like two completely different bands.
I will always prefer the DLR era but you're right. It's like comparing RATM and Audioslave, they're different bands doing different material.
Omg I love Michael Jackson’s bad! Lmfao I start playing that when my daughter is acting up in the backseat 😂
Sammy Hagar is one of the most talented singers I’ve seen live no questions asked. I saw him in 2019 with my mom and she said he sounds the same as when she saw him with Montrose even though he is in his early seventies.
I had a girlfriend in highschool named after the Fleetwood Mac song Rhiannon, her dad was a huge fan of the band. To this day I can't help but think of her when I hear it. It's not their best song but it's far from their worst...way far from their worst actually.
Im baffled at its inclusion. WHAT ABOUT TUSK? TUSK IS ONE OF THE WORST SONGS OF ALL TIME, IT FUCKING SUCKS IT’S JUST RANDOM MARCHING BAND BULLSHIT LIKE WTF?
Did you go to Frenchtown too hahaha? I graduated in 02 from Frenchtown MT and had a classmate named Rhiannon.
@@4oh63 I went to highschool in Melbourne, Australia...it's probably a common name with kids born in the '80s who have parents that grew up on '70s music though.
I love how Finn is like "I like sheep" and chat just goes ape shit simping for sheep 😂
No Time to Die being number 1 on here is the most baffling thing I have heard in a long time. That song is absolutely beautiful.
I was actually giving the list author the benefit of the doubt for including MJ's "Bad" there because I assumed it was for the pun; "all his songs are good but that one is *Bad*". Their #1 pick is so misplaced that I instantly removed the benefit of the doubt for other picks, because picking that song just shows poor judgment.
It's haunting and fits perfectly for a bond song I just wish the movie was good
Could you imagine waiting in line to call your family from jail and ODB starts rapping over the phone..
I almost feel like Michael Jackson's "Bad" was put on the list as a joke. As in if the article had actually been titled "Really Bad Songs By Great Artists" instead, then that song would work. But the title is "Worst" not "Really Bad" so it lands with a thud. (Because "Whazupwityou" with Eddie Murphy is definitely worse and that's just going off the singles)
Bono is the human embodiment of "douche waffle". He's so pretentious he would say it as " doo-sh-ay waffl-ey". Him and Sting are brothers from another mother.
South Park pegged him perfectly.
Hahahhaha
@@scottdaniels8129 I haven't seen that yet...awesome.
@@michaeldobbs4249 I have detested that ass-clown since the beginning..Everyone "oh Bono sooo humanitarian.." No, he's a major tool. The only thing separating him from Steven Seagall levels of douchery is he doesn't have piss-colored shades. Yet.
You lost me at Smooth, gtfoh 😂 all time hit, absolute banger. The Santana disrespect.
The instrumentation and production in Bad is actually incredible. There's so much going on in it that you don't notice on a casual listen. MJ was truly a genius.
"You're on pot"
"No dad, I just wanted a pepsi!"
With Sympathy era Ministry is like Terry Glaze era Pantera. It is actually pretty good and good in genre, but eclipsed by later work.
Man I’m so glad I stumbled across your 2nd channel Finn! I’ve always liked ur main channel but you don’t really come across as so sarcastic and hilarious on it. I’ll def be trying to drop into the twitch streams from now on
Sometimes I get scared you’ll run out of ideas for content someday, but you just come out with more bangers!
Love this idea and would like to see more volumes, hope you’re doing well Finn 🤝
He didn't discuss it, but feel the same way about "Rhiannon" as he does about "Julio" by Paul Simon. Kind of baffled
The carlos santana & rob thomas song is great. Why is that on this list?
Even though it's a mall song nowadays, i still jam to it when it comes on.
I think Maria Maria is underplayed.
Because of Do America, Love Rollercoaster always enters my head every time I’m in Vegas. So it has that nostalgic connection because that’s one of my favorite most watched movies.
I love both Hagar and Diamond Dave, but if we're talking vocal talent, give me Hagar every single time over Roth.
I think most people would agree. DLR was more of a showman, Hagar the better singer (and still a great frontman).
I'll still take Michael Jackson's Bad over any U2 song.
I’ll take bad over any song from today
Be cool to see a Finn-made "Top X Bad Songs by Great Bands/etc" list. This was dope though!
“REST IN PEACE ROBERT E. LEE” - L.L. Cool J.
That Kanye tune about drunk girls is basically a cover/parody of Can's Sing Swan Song. Kudos to Kanye for tippin his hat to Can and dabbling in the krautrock world, but that's not really something his audience is going to appreciate.
Also, one of the contributors to that list must have an evil parent/step-parent who likes Paul Simon to put to two of his songs on the list. Me and Julio... is great, and I know their contributing staff ain't just gonna go and bag on Steve Gadd's classic drum part to 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. But it sounds to me like they totally did.
I prefer Van Halen with David Lee Roth but I also love Van Hagar. Also, Eddie Van Halen's synth and keyboard work in those later years gets overlooked due to his status as a legendary guitarist.
Amen. The Van Hagar stuff is criminally underrated
No time to die was a remake of Writings on the wall which was a remake of Skyfall. All three were in the same key and same chord progression. We've not had a good bond song since You Know My Name.
Very glad to hear you're helping bring spin back. Missed them
When you're the king of pop and your worst song is still good...
"I always wanted to have a diaper fetish"
totally not clipped at all
Sheep are an underrated animal, but where do they rate? Finn, when you feel like doing it, I think an Animal Tier List would be a nice palate cleanser.
50 ways to leave your lovers drum groove is iconic.
For the Jay Z song, I don't think it's fair to count a song that they didn't even officially release.
Gallons of rubbing alcohol has been one of my favorite nirvana songs since I was like 15. Had only heard popular nirvana songs until someone put in utero (downloaded from limewire) on my ipod. It was its own track so I was unaware it was a hidden track until today
"50 ways to leave your lover"? Come on man, the drum groove on this one is iconic!
Ministry’s 1st album With Symphony is a guilty pleasure of mine🤷🏼♂️
A friend of mine who is in a industrial metal band in the 80s, Lived above a nightclub Ministry would perform at.
When Al Jourgensen came into the club the DJ would play a song off the album which reportedly Al hated. So he’d kick in the DJ booth door and break the record. 🤣
The riff for vertigo i came up with a few years before the song came out gutted when i heard it as was basically the first riff i ever came up with lol
Feels bad man
There’s really only so many riffs out there to play. A lot of riffs are similar. There are only so many notes and combinations.
Vertigo and Smooth are both jams, fight me
When I worked security at some U2 stadium shows back in 2004/2005 ish, every night they played Vertigo TWICE - as the opener and the closer of their Set. They must have thought it was the best song they ever wrote.
Back then, it was for them. The song was HUGE back then.
Can’t believe Finn didn’t comment on the crack-induced fact that they had Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac on the list.
“Sheep are an underrated animal” -Finn mckintey 2022
"This is how we do" by Katy Perry ruined my day the first time I heard it. Long time HxC Katy-Kat fan here.
The Weird Al video for Fat was legendary for the fact that it was nearly a shot for shot spoof of the video for Bad.
"Crush 'Em" was performed during a WCW Nitro broadcast and used as Goldberg's entrance music for a short while.
Chazz: Okay, lemme ask you a question: who's side did you take in the big David Lee Roth-Van Halen split?
Chris Moore: What?
Marcus: What kind of question is that?
Chazz: Who's side did you take: Halen or Roth?
Chris Moore: ...Van Halen
Ian: HE'S A COP!
Took me a minute to remember where this is from… a fucking GREAT movie!
@@adamcvanwinkle ya, Fin made the comment how he likes the Sammy Hagar years of Van Halen and how he knew it was unpopular and that scene just popped into my head.
Ergo Fin's a cop.
I like all of Ministry, including the early synth pop.
with sympathy one of my favorite ministry albums
Same with NIN.
His debut "Pretty hate machine" album is pretty much synthpop but still pretty awesome
Hey Finn, I’ve heard you mention atmosphere in some other videos. Do you have a video on atmosphere / alt rap by chance
I don’t but maybe some day!
I remember buying and reading a spin magazine or two in the 90’s, but can’t remember anything I ever read in one.
03:57 They went by their high school nicknames. U2’s 80s stuff was incredible, and Achtung Baby came out my senior year high school so that album will always be my favorite. Everything they did after 2000 was just…meh
Everything they released after Achtung Baby sucked.
This list is so pretentious lmao, there isn't much on there I'd genuinely call awful, at least once you get towards the bottom, like Billie
Once again Finn great job! Had me laughing all day i binged on your videos ! Xox I think Mj was a victim to some bad songs, esp. Towards the end of his career...but he'll always be great and so is Kanye i love him but a lot of his songs can be misses.! I agree with Snopp Dogg's decline as well! Ahaha love u! Keep up the good work! 😘✌️
Awww you're such a good host! Thanks!
Nothing ever enrages me more than when that pre loaded u2 shit starts playing randomly on an iPhone. Every time I get a new phone, inevitably that day comes, and I immediately delete with extreme prejudice.
Remember how Michael Jackson spent the 80's convincing people he was bad and 00's that he was good. Weird times.
Chuck Berry being exposed as a creep has helped his featured song become aged like milk.
"Smooth" slaps! IDGAF! lol
This one for the promo reel: "I respect any artist that deliberately alienates their audience."
Yeah someone at Spin was definitely trying to increase the brand's edgy factor by not only including a popular Billie song, but making it #1. If they are indeed trying to reinvent themselves this is a strange place to start. Writing controversial things for the sake of being controversial is kind of the norm in 2022, not innovation. Hopefully Spin gets a little more creative in this transition.
Also weird to include that White Stripes song because that's apparently a Japanese bonus track and most of the songs on the list are relatively well known.
Yeah, I've been a fan, but I've never heard that Stripes track before. Maybe obscurity shouldn't matter, but it's a weird deep grab.
It's supposed to be titled gallons of rubbing alcohol flowed through the strip and it was not on the original release of In Utero. I like it but I like everything that Nirvana did that sounds like noise.
21:34 "Sheep is an underated animal" (McKenty, Finn) 🤣
Love your content!
Thank you!
What’s happening on the ministry video at 1:45 ?
I will confess. I absolutely love Smooth. I mean just love it. I have spent hours figuring how to play it and I regret nothing.
Same, it's a fun song to play on the guitar... Can't go wrong with Carlos!
Thank you for introducing me to my new fave album. That Ministry song got me curious bc I actually really liked it. The whole album is great!
What a nerve they have to call "Work For Love" a bad song. Rly.
I loved Gallons of Running Alcohol when I first heard it. I felt like it was the bands middle finger to the record labels and the issues he was having with Geffen not supporting their mix done by Albini.
Dude I was really into mags in the 90s, and SPIN was definitely one of the best and my favorite. I also liked Blender as well.
Ha "sheep are an underrated animal" 😄
I saw Ministry, the Melvins, and Corrosion of Conformity back in March, and they only played their good songs. Awsome show.
Bono owns 1/3 of a company who bought in early on Facebook. Those shares were valued at $2 BILLION a couple years back
“My Ding-a-ling” played at the grocery store I work at the other day
Fun fact: the MJ Bad music video was directed by Martin Scorsese.
Also Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flows down the Strip was omitted from the US release of In Utero. It was the final track on the Japanese import version. Honestly it should have been a hidden track like Endless Nameless. Personally I hate the songs All Apologies and Pennyroyal Tea and I would have liked for Gallons to be there instead.
The Billie Ellish song is only bad by bond song standards imo
Pls do a video on daisy of love
Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol WAS a jam/practice session piece that they came up with on the spot--lyrics and all.
MJ’s Bad is bad compositionally, but when you include the video, dancing the crotch grabs, the ‘shamone’s it’s a masterpiece ❤️
It's not even that bad. All of the songs from his studio albums realeased during his lifetime were hand picked by him out of many more that he wrote. The only songs that are actually not good are from his posthumous albums.
Some people take My Ding-a-Ling in good humor, and sometimes I can, too. But it was dumb as hell that it was a genuine #1 hit for him though; his only #1, with his other highest charters being "Sweet Little Sixteen" (which is a classic) and "School Days" (which was better when rewritten as "No Particular Place to Go", I think) at #'s 2 and 3, respectively. I hope he genuinely got a kick out of it, cus' he had to play it a lot live after that.
18:00 This is AMAZING. This is end-of-the-night smoke-out music.
I had no idea that song was called "love Rollercoaster" and more importantly that is was written by RHCP
It's actually a cover
They did not write that song
I will say Ministry’s album Twitch is a really great blend of the early synth pop into the heavy music they were known for
I'm always shocked on how bad Dave Mustaine voice is.
His voice worked for their raw and gritty 80's stuff, in the 90's he and his producers went for something more "polished" which makes it even more obvious that he can't sing at all.
8:03 I see you are a man of culture as well. I love Van "Hagar"
