Metallica 'Jump in the fire'
Tears for fears 'Mad world'
Erm.. 'Lover boy' by Billy Ocean.
Can't think of any good bands that fit this bill just yet..

Most fans hate me for saying this, but I have always hated the chorus for "Is She Weird" by The Pixies....

I don't know why, but the bass line drives me nuts! I love the verses though...

That is all I can think of for now....

I remember remarking to myself about some of Hum's songs. Pretty catchy at the beginning then pretty piss-poor chorus (e.g.: "You'd Perfer an Astronaut).

Sonic Youth: not really the chorus, but I've always thought their "sonic experimentation" really detracted from their songs (e.g: "Silver Rock" or "Total Trash").

Fleetwood Mac "You Make Lovin' Fun".

wire's "once is enough."

Wreckx-N-Effect- Rump Shaker

Rollins Band - Liar

Since non-chorus parts have already been mentioned:

I like the Arcade Fire's song "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" right up until 2.17, at which point the CHEESIEST FUCKING THING IN THE WORLD comes out of nowhere and keeps happening for 15 seconds -- this horribly bouncy "ba-ba-ba-ba-bump-bump" thing. It SO does not work in the song. And they do it twice more before the song is over, as if jumping up and down on a corpse.

Why did you have to go and ruin an otherwise decent song like that, Arcade Fire? Why?

"Cult Of Personality"

Not a good song, per se.

But I was subjected to powerfinger's 'day you come' many times. I could tolerate the verses but the chorus was pure shite.
