Black Sabbath - Changes
Many will disagree, I know, but I can't stand this bloody song. From when I first purchased Vol. 4 in '72 - always skipped that song



never really understood why everyone picks Changes as a bad thing , it's not like hadn't done it before

Agreed on all of those. I could never understand why any of this stuff was paraded as "alternative" back in the 80s. Just highlights what a desperate and downtrodden decade that was.

Sad Cafe were one of those Manchester England cult bands, the kind only really talked about in that area (I suppose.) If it wasn't for the Buzzcocks and Joy Division, that would be the only thing the city would be known for.

I agree with those choices as well
Solitude - not offensive, but just flat out boring...
She's Gone - I guess they were ahead of their time in creating a crappy ballad that sounds, in hindsight, like a crappy solo Ozzy ballad

The church of the latter-day Meat Loaf.

I'm not knocking 'Bat Out Of Hell', but the sequels ... !
