I'll go first...
The unequivocal #1 all-time misplayed bass line is "I Feel Good" (it's a half step, not a whole step)
#2 "Sweet Emotion" (it's tricky)
#3 "Superstition" (simple, but somehow this always gets destroyed)
What else? |

Satisfaction -- it's not the same as the guitar intro
Ain't Too Proud to Beg -- it's not the same pattern all the way through the chorus

The common thing- the most ironic thing- about all these songs is that they're pretty much all "standards" that have bee played and certainly heard to death. You'd think these would be the songs that people play correctly...  |

Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" suite - I don't hear it often but when I do hear it, it's always butchered.
Just about anything by Tool, Pantera, and 80% of the crap on youtube.
