Re: Best worst song of an album
The Man-Machine would probably take my top 'worst song.' I'm not even sure which, because I legitimately love every song on it. Helps to only have six songs.
Computer World is in an only slightly weaker boat.

Several of these I would argue against being the worst, though they are also definitely the albums I would think of.

I expected Roisin Murphy to land higher than that, but I am also getting the sense critics don't exactly want to praise her right now. Even the 5-star review from The Guardian comes with an asterisk, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's left off EOY lists despite its quality.
