If you could only pick one of these AJR songs to never listen to again, which one would it be?

I kinda wanted to do an “all of them” option, but then the poll would be extremely lopsided.

All of these are awful. I guess if I had to narrow it down, it would be between I’m Ready and Burn The House Down. 🤢

Not sure why these guys get so much hate on here, but for a song of theirs that I don't really like, I would choose "Dear Winter".

Weak for somehow morphing Mickey Mouse with The Chipmunks.
I'm Ready or Dear Winter as the runner-up.

Did the Mast brothers kill Pulse Music Board's official mascot pet or something? The AJR hate here in every genre thread is ridiculous.
Picked "100 Bad Days" because of the cheesy bass voice gimmick in the chorus.

“I’m Ready” is actually a certified bop with a unique sample.
“Sober Up” would be tolerable if it wasn’t for the obnoxious payoff (“How’s it go again?”) of the chorus.
Cannot tell the rest apart.

I had to check which AJR songs went #1 on alt. Only Sober Up did, so I’m choosing that. There is no way any of their music can or should be considered alternative. Their music is overproduced and annoying as f**k. It’s like Imagine Dragons but turned up to 10. Their lyrics are immature and amateurish. Every single that charts actively kills the genre by enabling other bulls**t that isn’t alternative to chart. It really isn’t their fault, it might be late-2000s/early-2010s era Coldplay or Imagine Dragons that first started this chain of bad music. I don’t know. I’m sure the AJR brothers are great people in real life. They look like nice people with good fan interaction. They just make awful music. I would’ve picked “all of the above” had it been an option. If it sounds like I’m being too overdramatic or whatever, I just have a very strong opinion on this.

i'm ready is pretty ignorable
weak is kinda not awful
sober up is annoying
burn the house down fucking slaps
100 bad days is just sad
and dear winter and bang! are up there as some of the funniest songs ever created
i think my pick is obvious

I like Bang!
Burn down the House. Great horns.
It was between "I'm Ready" and "100 Bad Days"..
I just don't connect with I'm Ready...

Consider this my nomination for Thread of the Year.
Needless to say, all of these songs are embarrassing at best, so choosing just one is unspeakably difficult. Ultimately, though, I don't think any piece of music has ever evoked such visceral horror in me as the Spongebob sample in "I'm Ready" did on first listen. That's my choice.
If album tracks were up for consideration, I'd write in "Netflix Trip," which borders on terroristic.
