Pretty fly for a white guy. It's not really a bad song, but it was really overused in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Americana is a great album, but every time Pretty fly starts playing it ruins it for me.

All Star on Smash Mouth’s Astro Lounge

Escape from Metallica's Ride The Lightning. It doesn't ruin the album but it stains a masterpiece for sure. The band hates that song as well because they wrote it last minute to appease their record label.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer on Abbey Road. One of the few songs I skip while listening to an album!

Ticks and Leeches off of Lateralus by Tool. It's not even a bad song but the aggression ruins the flow of the album and sticks out like a sore toe.

I usually just skip that song. Album is no longer ruined 😉

Revolution 9, as was often joked about on beatlescirclejerk in the other place.

Good Riddance (The Time of Your Life) is a blemish on an otherwise perfect Nimrod

For me it is Jewels N' Drugs on Lady Gaga's ARTPOP album. I skip it every time.

There's a pair of Beatles albums in this list. I don't mind "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" or "Revolution 9," but "Tomorrow Never Knows" on Revolver counts for me. Frankly, it's the worst Beatles song. I prefer the Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair cover of it on It's Spooky to the Beatles version. It's just that bad.

Any Chvrches song where one of the other members is singing (not sure who it is).

I think there's at least one on every album they've made, and it's always an immediate skip for me.

The song Yoko Ono sings on the first Bleachers album. Luckily it’s the last song.

Off the top of my head, "Benny the Bouncer" on Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery. It should have been a B-Side of a single or something like that but it does not work on that album at all. For me, it's just a goofy unneeded intermission before "Karn Evil 9" that I always skip.

I don't think it ruins the album, but Oh, Daddy on Fleetwood Mac's Rumors is kind of the only stinker on there. It would have been better with Silver Springs instead I think.

I almost never skip songs on albums, but Panda Eyes & DatPhoria - Keep Going ruins Panda Eyes' KIKO album IMO. The verses and drops were clearly written by two different people, but it sounds like they never heard each other's parts. Like they were glued together from separate songs.

I love Dragonforce's entire discography, with one massive exception in that Evil Dead is horrible beyond words.

the song astrud gilberto does with her kid on beach samba ruins what is otherwise a perfect album

Friends is one of my favorite Beach Boys albums, but Anna Lee the Healer just rubs me the wrong way. Instant skip

Wouldn't go so far as to say it "ruins" the album, but "Shakermaker" is quite a letdown compared to the rest of "Definitely Maybe".
