Tyler just posted this in Juv's thread and I was curious about this for others
What song do you hate the most and which do you think is thier worst
PLEASE do not include pry to, red dot, stupid mop, or stuff like that. Stick with fully realized songs--the kind of stuff they might theoretically play at a show
hated: Hitchiker--without a doubt.
Worst is tough. Probably also hitchhiker.

...it'll break my heart if people start nominating Evacuation...I love that song...
I'm not a huge fan of Evacuation, but i certainly wouldn't dare say it's their worst song...The lyrics in places are very good, and the music is far too interesting and textured to class it as 'bad'.
'Worst'...This is one of those sticky subjective, loose terms that becomes hard to define. I think lazyness would be an intergral part of what constitutes to a band's 'worst' song. And by that i don't mean simplicity, i mean lack of development or effort. This is of course dependent on the song, for instance Ledbetter and Black are fairly standard in their chord structures, but they move and develop (in large part through Ed's vocal lines). Based on that (incredibly vague) criteria, it's difficult to say what PJ's 'worst' song is...I'd even say stuff like Get Right has been thought through pretty well, and it's hardly generic - the main riff in a rock song being a guitar harmonic? And also that bassline in the verse is actually great.
I'd probably say Don't Gimme No Lip is their worst song...but i'd feel guilty picking that because i don't think it's intention is to be developed or complex....it was meant to be fun, and if i heard it live i'm sure i'd find it pretty fun.
Then there other factors, completely void of how inspired a complex the music and writing may be, what about how the song 'moves you'...what it makes you think and feel? Could it just be a case of not liking heavy metal music and picking Go, or hating solo acoustic stuff and picking TMW? I'm in a pickle....but there could be a discussion started somewhere in there...? *passes on batton*

I'm suprised by the two votes for come back for worst

oh yeah, Hold On is quite awful. Bad over dramatic lyrics
