Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards - "all of my life"

That singing towards the end by David Byron is pretty atrocious. 


Kansas - Monolith - stay out of trouble 

I like most of this album but I think stay out of trouble is pretty much the text book definition of filler. 

Genesis - And then there were three - the ballad of big. Some say scenes from a night's dream or say it's alright Joe. However, for me it's this one. Not horrible but I don't get it. 

Genesis - Abacab - who dunnit OK, we all knew this one was coming

Yes - Drama - man  in a white car Rather pointless but not horrible

I love Selling England by the Pound, and have never had a problem with "More Fool Me". Like you said, it provides a quiet respite between the two sides. I've heard some people (including Genesis members) were not happy with "The Battle of Epping Forest" for being a little too "over the top".

Steve Hillage - Fish Rising, where the only bad "song" is Fish. That's my angle anyway. Smile

It's funny , when I read the post topic the first song to pop in my head was Witch Hunt. 
I don't really think it's a bad song per say, just my least favorite on the album.

I'm talking only about albums that would be nearly flawless were it not for one bad song. Let's exclude albums with major issues throughout. I'm limiting myself to only albums that are found on this site, and I'm not including "bonus tracks" or "alternate takes" that appear on re-issues. Here's my list:

Rush: Moving Pictures - Offending song = "Witch Hunt"
Rush: Hold your Fire - Offending song = "Turn the Page"
Steve Hackett: Spectral Mornings - Offending song = "The Ballad of the Decomposing Man"
Steve Hackett: To Watch the Storms - Offending song = "The Devil is an Englishman"
Supertramp: Even in the Quietest Moments - Offending song = "Babaji"
Manfred Mann's Earth Band: Angel Station - Offending song - "Resurrection"
Pink Floyd: The Division Bell - Offending song = "Lost for Words"
ELP: Brain Salad Surgery - Offending song = "Benny the Bouncer"
Barclay James Harvest: Ring of Changes - Offending song = "Just a Day Away"
Barclay James Harvest: Welcome to the Show - Offending song = "Psychedelic Child"
Marillion: Seasons End - Offending song = "After Me"
Led Zeppelin: In Through the Out Door - Offending song = "Hot Dog"
Queen: News of the World - Offending song = "Get Down Make Love"
Saga: The Security of Illusion - Offending song = "Alone Again Tonight"
Saga: Wildest Dreams - Offending song = "Don't Put Out the Fire"
Genesis: The Lamb lies down on Broadway - Offending song = "The Waiting Room"
Asia: Phoenix - Offending song = "I Will Remember You"

So what are yours?
