Anyone who knows me ...knows that I am a HUGE Depeche Mode fan. However, it saddens me to say this but I can't stand the song "Little 15" :(

Really? I don't mind it myself. Of later Depeche Mode songs: "I Feel You" and "The Dead Of Night" give me headaches. :) Of earlier Depeche Mode: "Boys Say Go!" and "What's Your Name?" are rather painful to listen to.
Awful songs by my other favourite groups/artists:
Ultravox:
- "Your Name (Has Slipped My Mind Again)" - boring as hell
- "Break Your Back" - instrumental B-Side to the "Visions In Blue" 7 inch single which sounds like something you would breakdance to (hence, the title, I guess)
- "Same Old Story"/"The Prize"/"All Fall Down" - later songs (1986) recorded when things were starting to fall apart...and it shows
The Smiths:
- "Golden Lights" - thankfully, a cover of an old 60's song...but maybe not the best of choices
- "Death Of A Disco Dancer" - Rush likes this one, but I don't; I just don't think it was very well written
- "Death At One's Elbow" - even worse; definitely not one of Morrissey's lyical best
Morrissey:
- "Roy's Keen" - clever pun on the name of a Manchester United footballer (Roy Keane), but it's a song about a window cleaner, and it sounds awful!
- "Sing Your Life" - just not one of my favourites
John Foxx:
- "Systems Of Romance" - Mr. Foxx decided to take the title of the last album he recorded with Ultravox and make a terrible song out of it; makes me cringe every time I hear it
That's it for now!

Hey Vile:)
How are you? Yeah, I have to admit "Little 15" annoyed the hell out of me.

Hey Cheetara!
I'm doing alright. :) Well, "Little 15" isn't their greatest, but I don't think it's their worst. It's all a matter of opinion, really! I can listen to "Little 15." I can't listen to "The Dead Of Night" and "I Feel You!" "Boys Say Go!" and "What's Your Name?" are...bearable...:P
Oh, I forgot all about "Pipeline." By far the worst song that Martin's lent his vocals to. Painful.

I love "Little 15," unfortunately it will always remind me of the Pam Smart trial, however, I do love the lyrics and the orchestral meladrama.
I can see why "Pipeline" would annoy you, but I love the electroacoustics. It would be hard for me to select a least favorite Depeche Mode song from the later years, 'coz I gave up on them. Regarding "Boys Say Go!" and "What's Your Name," my sister asked me "are you SURE they're not gay? Come on!" I'm pretty sure Vince swings both ways. "What's Your Name" is more of a novelty song than anything, "P-R-E-doulbe-T-Y!" My most hated among the '80s Depeche Mode is "Behind The Wheel/Route 66," a harbinger of bad things to come. Mind you, a love the original "Behind the Wheel," but their version of "Route 66" was way too hokey. I also dislike "Pleasure Little Treasure" for that cheesy faux-blues riff. There actually is a lot of blues lurking in early Depeche Mode, but "Pleasure Little Treasure" was just obnoxious.
My favorite group of all time is The Legendary Pink Dots. I guess my least favorite of theirs is "Pain Bubbles," by dint of it being my least favorite song on my least favorite LPD album, "A Perfect Mystery."
Other most hateds/least favorites:
Ultravox: All Fall Down
The Smiths: Death at One's Elbow (I agree with Vile!)
Morrissey: Satan Rejected My Soul
The Cure: Mint Car

I just find "Pipeline" incredibly boring to listen to. It's one of those songs I can't wait 'til it's over! I like "Behind The Wheel" on its own too. The remix with "Route 66" is bad! I'm amazed that so many people actually like it! Why? "Pleasure Little Treasure" I need to listen to again. I don't remember it.
I agree with your list of others, and am glad you agree with me about the worst Smiths song! You're also more forgiving of Ultravox than I am! :D One song to my six!
I don't recall "Satan Rejected My Soul," but going by everything else I'd heard from the same album (Maladjusted, I think), it wouldn't surprise me if that was as bad a song as the others were.
"Mint Car" was just silly, and I think The Cure were starting to go downhill around then.

Chicago--"Stay The Night", "Hard to Say I'm Sorry", "You're the Inspiration" .. I can't believe these are actually by the same group who did "25 or 6 to 4", "Beginnings", "Questions 67 and 68", and other great 70s tunes. :(

I just chose to list ONE song by Ultravox. There are some I like less than others, but few I can say I dislike.
I don't remember much of anything from either "Vauxhall and I" or "Maladjusted," but I do remember I hated "Satan..."
:P

Ben Folds Five - Regrets
For some reason, Ben tragically forgot how to write a tune for most of the third album.
Fountains of Wayne - Peace and Love
The one weak song of the absolutely killer Welcome Interstate Managers.
Foo Fighters - Big Me
Surprisingly nadless, and sadly pointless, song from 90's hard rockers
Aerosmith - Crazy/Cryin'/Amazing
I'm not sure which of these songs I'm thinking of, but does it really matter?

Modest Mouse's "The View" just because it's not as cool as the rest of their songs.

I don't like that song, period. I do like some of Sheryl's stuff, but not this duet. ::)
