They were annoying to begin with
I found all these songs somewhat annoying to begin with until I grew to like them. Which do you like best, and which do you like least?

I voted for Crimes of Paris as the one I like best. I never found this one annoying; I liked it the first time I heard it, even though Elvis' voice is ever-so-slightly approaching that range which some consider annoying.
The others are in order as follows:
2. Tears Before Bedtime
3. This Is Hell--it plods a bit, but the imagery is so great. "naked starlets floating in champagne"
4. Sunday's Best
5. Miss Macbeth--still hasn't quite grown on me.
By the way, DrJ, I really like your avatar.

It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin' on

Edge goes to Crimes, the creshendo in the middle eight is unsurpassed.
I hate Miss Macbeth, well, hate is too strong a word, but it just reminds me of all the other over inflated stuff on Spike.
You know, I changed my mind, tied between Tears and Crimes.
And Sunday's Best is great to, except Cop Fan, you got your days mixed up. That great little hook you are refering to is at the end of Wednesday Week

I'd rank them graphically, like this:
Crimes Of Paris
Sunday's Best
Tears Before Bedtime
This Is Hell
Miss Macbeth
I really like all except Miss Macbeth, which annoys the pee out of me.
I'm surprised that people don't dig Sunday's Best. I really like that song.
But Crimes of Paris is just a wonderful tune.

This is Hell
Tears Before Bedtime
But I liked both of those right off the bat. These three have grown on me to various degrees:
Miss Macbeth - I second lapin's remark about a song with a golliwog. And the fishbone slide.
Sunday's Best - for its wacky melody
Crimes of Paris - er, well, this has never done it for me. I'm kind of blocked about the second half of B&C in general.

crimes of paris is fabulous. but to me you nailed it here bamboo with miss macbeth. 2nd worst elvis song next to you know what. well, except for that embarrassing moment where he rattles the piss out of your speakers screaming WHAT'S HER NAME TODAY? at the end of that song on burt's album.
I'm not concerned about the very poor.
