I generally avoid complaining about threads, but it kind of irks me when people list "the worst song" from bands they hardly know. It's pretty much the same as teenage girls crying "OMG BIEBER IS THE BEST EVER", just in reverse.
Most of the worst songs from these artists are probably songs most have never heard of.
For example, Voulez-Vous or Does Your Mother Know are not in the ballpark of ABBA's worst songs, and I doubt anyone who has heard more ABBA would think they are even close to that ballpark. (I would call both damn good songs.) Try something like "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room" or "Nina, Pretty Ballerina" (if you hate dancing queen, this is basicly an earlier, crappier version of the same song). Or "Fernando". The combination of quasi-political tones and the syrupy romanticism is truly cringe-worthy.
Beatles - "Flying" Terrible psychedelic crap. Also "Till There Was You" is just awful. Terrible song, terrible version. Although the lyrics are so bad they're actually quite hilarious.
David Bowie - "Teenage Wildlife". I get what Bowie was going for with that singing style, but dear lord it's truly painful. The tacky choir doesn't improve the situations.
Queen - Plenty of candidates. have you heard for example "My Fairy King"

Some of the ones I chose are not necessarily bad, but they are from artists which I am not familiar with their whole catalogue. For those I picked the song I am most familiar with that i disliked the most.
When I saw Pink Floyd I knew I was going to pick something off Dark Side simply because I believe the album is overrated. I am sure there are worse Pink Floyd songs than "Great Gig in The Sky', but I have never heard them {like "Bike"}.
It's tough to pick truly bad songs because you are unlikely to listen to them, at least I am.
That said, some of the songs that others picked I think are classics.

Reason: Speling.
For the most part, we are picking well-known songs from the artists - not some obscure, b-side oddity from their last album before they broke up. So while these songs aren't their truly worst, more like their worst that got any air play.
Worst should include bad songs that succeeded. That makes them worse.
I swear that at least 40% of the time I hear Zeppelin on the radio it is Fool In The Rain. Perfect example. There are 50 better songs, not including Stairway, that you never hear on the radio.
And....Kokomo....Good grief.

Although I agree with the sentiment that it may not be entirely fair for non-fans to talk about bad songs from those groups, the thread is meant to be fun so I'll just mention a few ones that succeeded from these groups that I personally can't stand. I'm sure many will disagree. Too bad, haha.
Metallica - Jump in the Fire
Nirvana - About a Girl (Live version) I think I've just heard it way too many times.
Queen - Bicycle Race
I'll add more as I can think of them. Thought I had a longer list in my head, but drawing blanks here.
