10 Most Hated Hard Rock Songs (From Great Bands)

10. Tattoo - Van Halen

Hard rock fans around the globe were overjoyed in 2008 when it announced that David Lee Roth had officially returned to Van Halen. While it was a shame that bassist and backing vocalist Michael Anthony wouldn't be along for the ride, the band's tour with Eddie's son Wolfgang filling in was still too good to pass up. Once the band got together for a new record, fans were clamoring for how the new music would sound.

Most of the band's reunion album A Different Kind of Truth ended up being pretty solid, but the guys picked the absolute worst single with the song "Tattoo." Van Halen may not have been known for their thought-provoking lyrics, but this love song to body art would make any tattoo artist wince. The verses and breakdown feature backing vocals from Eddie Van Halen, but his weathered voice makes it sound like a frog croaking underneath David Lee Roth's main vocal.

Complete with one of the worst hooks the band has ever made, this song left many diehard fans trembling in fear as to what the rest of the album was going to sound like. Though the band could still deliver with the rest of the record, fans were right to be scared if we were to get more songs like this.
