Most Phish songs. Their studio recordings are decent and I won`t change the song if they pop up on iTunes, but their live stuff is so unbelievably dull. It`s kinda like, "Hey, you know not every single one of your songs needs a 40 minute jam that sounds exactly like every other jam you have. It gets a little redundant and boring. Oh, and can you please start writing songs in keys other than C, Am, G7, and Em? Mk, thanks."

Anything by DEP or The Mars Volta. Basically bands who try to be 'different' and 'individual' but end up sounding like a cat.....being strangled. Whilst on fire.

Are we talkin' bad melodies, bad lyrics, or any combination thereof?

In the "worst lyrics" dept, I'd like to nominate Chicago, especially the post-Cetera phase.

I was thinking of one today, everytime I hear the song I get a headache........ I dont remember the name of the song, but it was by The Crash Test Dummies..... It was the one with all the HMMMMMMMM and HMMMMMM in it. Oh yea, and something about "there once was a boy"...... Uhhhhh, I hate that song. It sucked when I first heard it in the nineties and it still sucks.

Anything that makes a song bad. Lyrics, melody, vocal delivery or musicianship even.....

Safety Dance - Men Without Hats or something like that
Keep Your Hands To Yourself - Georgia Satellites
Too Hot To Handle - Black Crows, I think

Anything by Springsteen, except "Born To Run." I liked that song. It was before the corporate BS push of BS.

Any tune where that pitch-correction synth is in the vocals.

That Fireflies is a good example, along with all the rap that's got it now.

Guess actual singing ability is no longer a prerequisite for vocals.

in the oldies department - I would say the Turtles "Elenore", which has lyrics like...
Elenore, gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better

I really think you're groovy
Let's go out to a movie
What do you say, now, Elenore, can we?......
ouch!
