Terrible/Inappopriate songs ...

on an otherwise wonderful release. Know of any? These bug the crap out of me as they are: dumb songs, inappropriate selections as per the rest of the release, and sung very poorly. What is (was) up with them?

1. Miles Davis, "Nothing Like You", on Sorcerer (1962).
2. Tony Williams, "This Night This Song", and, "Once I Loved", a two-fer on Turn It Over (1970).

I very much like both of these releases, but they are spoiled by these insipid songs (IMO) unless I skip them. Know of others such as these clinkers? Must be ones which stick out like sore thumbs on an otherwise good/great release. Cuts which make you exclaim, WTF?

I'll get my head chopped off for this but don't you think "Within You Without You" just doesn't fit on "Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band"?

I think Lennon/McCartney had to throw one to George to appease him. The album would have been thematically tighter with "Strawberry Fields Forever" or "Penny Lane".
