Has this one been done yet?

"Forgiven" and "Proxy" are right up there on my list of really horrible songs...

"P(r)oxy", without a doubt.
Purveyor of the 'semi-predictable one-liner (which) embodies the essence of the type of comedic crap we grew to love here. VB is a crazy fool'

What If We Are? wins my vote.

There's also the watching paint dry type, boring songs:

The Idolness of Gods
When It All Blows Over

Did that joke months ago.

Most hated Bunnymen songs -

All of Flowers
All of The Fountrain
Most of Siberia
Most of WAYGTDWYL
Half of Evergreen

All of Mac's solo "work"

Anything involving Chris Martin on backing vocals

Anything thats just Twat and a Piano
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

I really dislike that live cover of All You Need Is Love. Proxy gets my vote too.

Me three. That was very plodding and boring.
Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.

My Kingdom and My White Devil. Do you have something against song titles beginning with "My"!

(I love both of those btw)

"My Kingdom" got my vote mainly because Mac's "new" voice has ruined this song for me. Too many times hearing him croak through this one.

Lyrically, "My White Devil" starts like a book report. I usually hit "skip" for that reason.

Classic Bunnymen: Fuel
New Bunnymen: Parthenon Drive (more boring than Stormy Weather by a long shot)
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
