Agreed.

Meat is Murder and The Queen is Dead.

The Smiths wrote the worst title songs known to mankind.

ProggyMan 05-22-2008 10:51 PM

What? The Queen Is Dead is incredible.

sweet_nothing 05-22-2008 10:53 PM

Meat is Murder is also a good song.

boo boo 05-22-2008 10:57 PM

Whatev. That album is just meh all over for me.

Ya'll can whine about that post all you want though.

I'd rather whine about all the mentions of Money off DSOTM. Extremely popular and a radio favorite and of course those are always easy to hate on, but it sure as hell isn't a bad song. I still quite love that song, I know it can be annoying when you hear it played over and over, but I think its a brilliantly constructed song, its certainly not the highlight of the album, but I wouldn't say DSOTM has any real highlights or low points. Its an album thats great for how everything flows together, both musically and conceptually. It's still my favorite album. I wouldn't take anything off of it.

Never Had No One Ever. It's stupidly self pitying.

Also....

My Iron Lung on the Bends. Sounds like something from Pablo Honey slipped through the net.

Well aren't most Smiths songs like that?

You gotta be ****ing with me, IMO thats the best song on the whole damn album.

Urban Hat€monger ? 05-23-2008 09:09 AM

And it sounds nothing like anything on Pablo Honey

Piss Me Off 05-23-2008 11:39 AM

It did come out as an inbetween EP between Pablo Honey and The Bends though.
I'd say its a little similar to Pablo Honey, although there's still a fair amount of progression in their sound there.

sweet_nothing 06-05-2008 05:44 AM

Roll With It by Oasis on (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, it sounds like a filler track but they had the nerve to release it as a single. No wonder Blur won "The Battle of Britpop", with Country House.

Piss Me Off 06-05-2008 05:46 AM

I'd have Roll With It over Country House any day. Both horrible though.

Pat Mustard 06-05-2008 06:29 AM

Four Horsemen from London Calling
The Overload from Remain in Light
Waiting for the Night from Violator
Beauty and the Beast from "Heroes"

Many many more to come .....

Pat Mustard 06-05-2008 06:30 AM

I like My Iron Lung, it's got a lot going on. The only song I don't like of The Bends is Bones.

you're out of your ****ing mind Roll With It has some of the worst lyrics Noel Gallagher has ever produced it sounds like he wrote them in the car before they got to the studio. Country House is a far better song better lyrically and musically. Noel himself even said it was one of their worst songs.

so let's compare crap

to gold

Piss Me Off 06-05-2008 06:42 AM

I really can't be bothered to stick up for Roll With It, but Country House is just another example of thse horrible 'wacky' songs that were doing the rounds in the 90's. Like Supergrass - Alright its one of those stupid songs that needs to be erased of the planet. I really don't see much difference between songs like these and the Vengaboys, they're all bloody annoying.
Common People all the way.

Well i don't really like most Blur songs if that helps.

sweet_nothing 06-05-2008 06:56 AM

that only makes things worse, they're one of the greatest bands of the 90's

Piss Me Off 06-05-2008 07:00 AM

So say a lot of people. They're not consistent enough in my eyes.

sweet_nothing 06-05-2008 07:04 AM

Well I'd say you must be mad for not thinking so but, i'll respect your opinoin.

Pat Mustard 06-05-2008 10:22 AM

Agree with Mr Dave

CHANT on Metal Box
God is Love on What's Going On
Vicar in a Tutu on The Queen Is Dead

Pow R. Toc H. 06-05-2008 11:40 AM

I also agree with mr dave.

ummmm money from DSOTM

mr dave 06-05-2008 11:58 AM

is 'money' really that bad or just the most overplayed track from the album?

Just because it's not some cliche rock track doesn't make it filler. I don't see what people's problem with it is it really pulls the album together for me no other track on that album is so desolate or impersonal.

so the rest of 'OK computer' is a bunch of cliche rock tracks? just how much of 1997 do you really remember? the track sounded like an aural experiment with the mr. roboto voice to split the sides of the album. paranoid android sure as crap didn't sound cliched compared to the rest of the music being routinely broadcast on music channels back when the bulk of their airtime was actually videos.

at this point, knowing what direction the band would eventually take, the track has more value as being indicative of where the band would eventually head off to with kidA.

at the time, and keep in mind this was pre-napster, let alone the idea of downloading entire discographies. it sounded out of place, like a piece of filler to split the sides. hell, you could have found it on cassette if you looked hard enough back then.

just because it's an early piece of thom yorke electro-ramblings doesn't automatically make it gold. you like it, fine, i'm gonna keep skipping it.

Alfred 06-05-2008 03:46 PM

"Train In Vain" off London Calling by The Clash.
"Josephine" off Bringing Down The Horse by The Wallflowers.

It's not punk enough for his liking.

"So Cruel", Achtung Baby

boo boo 06-05-2008 05:01 PM

Really? My least favorite song off Achtung Baby is Mysterious Ways, quite easly. Not just because it's a godawful annoying pop song, it just dosen't fit in there. Still I agree about it being a great album, I know that's not easy to say down in these parts.

Zombeels 06-05-2008 06:13 PM

Miss Fay Regrets off Pretty Things - Parachute

Ruins the mood of the album

"Mysterious Ways" is a good song. It's a good, r&b song. Maybe that doesn't fit the mold of Achtung Baby, but that doesn't make a bad song. Achtung Baby is one of my favorite alternative/indie-rock albums.

I actually enjoyed most of the non-punk songs on that album. I just happen to hate that one.

Hmm...I guess I'm in the minority by saying that I love Roll With It (a major guilty pleasure, I know) and think that Wonderwall is the one dud on WTSMG?
