>love the chorus
>hate everything else
Any songs that give you this terrible feel?
Love the chorus
Most Power Metal. They have catchy, soaring choruses, but then proceed to put no effort into their verses. Lackluster riffage doesn't help either. 90% of Power Metal sucks though, so it isn't too surprising.
Honestly, there's a lot of songs where I feel the opposite, where most of the song is good but the chorus is cheesy and poppy.
Freewill by Rush is a good example of that. The chorus isn't that bad, but the rest of the song is way cooler.
Also, Beast and the Harlot by A7X. Not a huge fan A7X, but City of Evil is a decent album, despite that really shitty chorus.

ultimate example of this
That's not what I asked for tho, brother.
Well, then I got nothing. I'm not a huge sucker for catchyness, so often times my favorite part of the song isn't the chorus, and even when it is, I can't think of examples where I plain dislike the rest of the song.
Lullaby by Shawn Mullins
stockton by death grips
I Don't Want to Wait by Paula Cole
There are a bunch of Everything Everything songs that are like this for me, like No Reptiles
>No Reptiles
hey fuck you bro I love that song
the first 20 or so seconds of will he by joji is genuinely beautiful
the rest is sadboy soundcloud trap garbage
Bowie - Starman
>Sad Eyed Lady if the Lowlands
I’m perfectly serious, the verse is such absolute and utter balls and goes on forever but fuck me what a beautiful chorus. It annoys me when people think this is Bob’s best song because it is so vacuous beyond the surface.
Imagine being this much of a pleb
Not even a fan of Lil Peep or Tracy but MAN is this chorus a slapper

Great example
>the verses are good but the chorus is trash
This is worse. Especially when the "chorus" is just humming or repeating a single word.
As someone who plays open mics live a lot you have just reminded me of the most irritating of all, someone going “OOOOOOOOH AAAAAH” over a gently fingerpicked guitar. Makes me want to kill.
creep
Lots of QOTSA songs
Very much this: youtube.com
In particular youtu.be
Almost all Panic! At the Disco songs (except build god then we'll talk, that was pretty good all the way through)
Yeah same
bump

One of my favorite songs but the verses ruin it
>hate the song
>love the coda that appears in the last 20 songs and wish the whole song were like that
this happens to me in many songs, an example from a big hit
I dont like What a Girl Wants, but like the ending of the song from 3:12 on, and wish that had been the main motif of the song
