You know the feeling, you’re listening to one of your favourite albums, maybe even your most favourite album in the whole world, and it gets to that one track. You know the one, the one that you look around to see if anyone’s watching and quickly skip over.

It’s okay, we’ve all got that one track that just stands out like a sore thumb on our favourite albums. That one song that would make an album perfect if only it wasn’t, y’know, there. Worst part is they’re usually on albums that we absolutely adore.

Everyone’s got them, so we asked around the Tone Deaf office and put together a list of some of the most memorable crappy tracks on otherwise brilliant albums. Before we get to that, though, we must remind you that this is all a matter of opinion, so direct your angry death threats elsewhere.
