I'm aware of that. Or, I hope so. If he wasn't, then my comment is dead serious.

I just thought if he was going to take my statement completely out of context and then rant about opinions I never stated I may as well encourage him.

It's a good straight forward pop song :\

Farfisa 06-05-2008 09:10 PM

Going to Heaven on "Awesomer",
Only example that i can think of at the moment.

boo boo 06-05-2008 09:16 PM

I like all the songs on London Calling except Jimmy Jazz and Koka Kola.

Pat Mustard 06-06-2008 05:42 AM

Louder Than a Bomb is the only track on It Takes A Nation Of Millions which doesn't do it for me

A straightforward pop song it may be, but I still don't like it. The Card Cheat is better, and it wasn't even a single.

I had the misfortune of actually purchasing that album, and let me tell you, it's a piece of shiiiiit through and through.

Mine is the entire closing portion of The Wall. Waiting for the Worms, Stop, The Trial, even Outside the Wall. Roger Waters' attempt to get "creative" or whatever ****ing blew it for me. Up to that point, it was sheer genius and a great concept album. Pink Floyd should never have let him talk into the mic for ten minutes. It could have been as apocalyptic as DSOTM.

I also hated the worms stuff from The Wall. Other losers are Oh Daddy from rumours and Within Without You from Sgt. Peppers

Is it blasphemous to suggest that Behind Blue Eyes is the weak link on Who's Next?

Urban Hat€monger ? 07-01-2008 11:31 AM

I wouldn't call Who's Next a great album to begin with to be honest.

Good opener , good closer & 7 non entities in between.

No.

Bargain, Love ain't for keepin', Behind Blue eyes, Going Mobile are all good songs.

Go listen to Prince or something :p:

WaspStar 07-02-2008 04:28 AM

Don't forget My Wife! Entwistle was a great writer. His songs are hilarious.

Big Tree Blue Sea off of Golden Earring's self titled.

Yeh, only good songs are Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled again (One of the best songs ever) and My Wife.

it did sell the album but that doesn't make it good--i personally think Wonderwall and Roll With It were severley acking Wonderwal sounds too much like the "alternative" crap they play on pop radio nowadas and i excpected more due to when it came out and Roll with it was just plain ****

Personally (and i know this is probably gonna start something) was Smells Like Teen Spirit even though that pretty much sold Nevermind As well

Well, I'd argue that Nevermind is not a great album, and if anything, in an opposite version of this thread ("Great songs on not-so-great albums"), I'd nominate Something In The Way, the one truly great Nirvana track.


Here's another one: Sowing Seeds off of Psychocandy. It's not bad, but it's basically an inferior rewrite of Just Like Honey.

Check_The_OR 07-14-2008 05:42 PM

I agree with oasis - roll with it, I always have to skip that song

Double X 07-14-2008 06:51 PM

The Trial almost ruins the Wall it's so bad. But there are some other awful songs on it so it doesn't stand out too much.

I never liked Blue Condition on Disraeli Gears.

I thought the album was brilliant up to Stop. The second disc really stood out with Hey You, Comfortably Numb, In The Flesh (pt 2) and Run Like Hell. I...just couldn't stomach that part. Outside the Wall is pretty bad too.

Double X 07-14-2008 08:39 PM

Yeah, I definitely liked the first side more though. Mother is a classic, Brick Part 1+2 are great, In the Flesh, Goodbye Bluesky, Young Lust, are all good, and the rest of the first side is solid 2nd side had 5 good songs and the rest is crap. If they could have just shortened it they couldv'e had a much tighter album without losing too much 'plot'.

But I guess that's the typical story of most double albums - too much filler.

Alfred 07-14-2008 08:58 PM

I don't like "Rolodex Propaganda" on At The Drive-In's "Relationship Of Command" that much. Other than that, the album is amazing.

WaspStar 07-15-2008 05:31 AM

Far Out on Blur's Parklife. What were they thinking?

CrackledNitro 07-15-2008 01:08 PM

"Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 2" - I get it, it's the battle scene, and it fits the concept of the album on many levels - except the fact that it's not listenable.
