For me:

Bruce Springsteen- Born in the USA
Awolnation - Sail
Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig.

I love Evanescence, but I never liked "Bring Me To Life" as much as I was supposed to.
I saw "Going Under" first. =]

I don't think there's a band where my least favorite song is their signature

For one where their most popular song is far from one of my favorites though, Alice in Chains. I don't think Man in the Box is even the best song on Facelift let alone overall.

Least favorite song or least favorite single? I don't have an answer to the first, but The White Stripes definitely fits the second.
I apologize for nothing!

Im not a huge fan so I guess this doesnt really count, but Wonderwall by Oasis is easily the worst song on the album.

Collective Soul - Shine - hard to say if it's their most popular, but I'm quite done with it.

Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing - their only #1, but it's saccharine sop, and they have way better songs, even though I'm on an Aerosmith low right now

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss - again, I think this is their only #1, and I recently read an article that had it as the writer's favourite song of theirs. It is trash. If not for other wastes of recording tape like Bugs, Red Dot, Push Me Pull Me, this would easily land in the lowest possible spot.

The Cardigans - Lovefool
Totally misrepresents their style.

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
Emotion is the second best pure pop album ever made but everyone knows her for this brain dead hit single
I guess I'm something of a ne'er do well.

Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody is kind of overplayed and nowhere near as good as most of their other songs imo

I wouldn't say "More Than Words" is my least favorite Extreme song per se, but it's definitely my least favorite on the album.

Probably System Of A Down's Chop Suey. It's a great introductory song for them, in fact its how I discovered them, but now its just "baby's first SOAD song" to me. They have so many other songs in their catalog that blow it out of the water

I can't think of an example where the most popular is my least favorite. Primarily because I enjoy upbeat stuff which tends to be the most popular songs. Avenged Sevenfold does stand out for me though as "Hail to the King" is by far their most played song yet I don't particularly care for it. Nightmare is definitely their best song.

White stripes and Queen as stated are good ones

This one's hard. Most popular to least favourite is quite the difficult benchmark to achieve.

The closest one I can think of is:

Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) by the Offspring.

Except its not their most popular song (safe to say top 5 though) and I wouldn't say its my least favourite but its definitely down there. I never liked it.

KMFDM and Juke-Joint Jezebel
IDK if it's technically more popular than Megalomaniac or Free Your Hate, but I've always found it to be exceptionally meh. I almost always skip over it.

Carly Rae Jepsen. I mean, I don't hate Call Me Maybe but it definitely is her worst that I've heard. She has soooooooo many other bangers.

Its REM. They were the first band I bought a cassette for. Nothing wrong with Losing my Religion, Everybody Hurts, and people seem to like Man on the Moon. However I can name 50 songs by them I like a lot better.

Heh, they arent near my favorite but I have a few of their albums. I have June-Joint Jezebel on a compilation and like it well enough. Off the top of my head my favorite is What do you know Deutschland or Godlike.

Love the White Stripes, but wouldn't care if I never heard Seven Nation Army again.

Part overexposure, probably. But I also find the riff a bit dumb (and not in a good way).

I just see a bunch of songs here I really like haha. I cant really think of anything. Most of the time an artists most popular song is something I enjoy. It might not be my favorite but I cant think of a case where it would be my least favorite out of all of their material.

okay actually Avenged Sevenfold is a way better one

there are at least 30 songs from them - including at least two entire albums - I like more than Hail to the King.

Agreed. It sucks. Must be. Mike Love song, right? Brian hated it, right?

Please confirm my assumptions about who is cool and who is bad, lol.

I don't know any other Rupert Holmes songs (or maybe I know the songs but never bothered to find out who they belonged to), but I can tell you with absolute certainty, every single one of them is miles better than If You Like Pia Colada.

Devo - Whip It

Devo is my all-time favorite band and it annoys me to no end how non-fans only know this song. It's not a bad song, I'm just sick of it.

Devo has so many amazing songs.

yeah, iirc it's one of Mike's songs that was written/recorded when Brian was cooped up in the studio for his solo stuff instead of touring.

idk if he hated it but I think it was made cus Mike and some of the other beach boys were sick of the more experimental sound and wanted to go back to the more early sounds from their surfin' era
