Another one - "Modern Woman," by Billy Joel. "Though the song was quite successful, Joel has since said in interviews he does not care for it." Amen. I've never heard it on the air, either. I dislike most of the hits from An Innocent Man, but they have decent lyrics, whereas "Modern Woman" just stinks.

^ Yes and yes again. Not to mention Common fucking People by Pulp as well. Talking of Blur, I'm also getting to that point with the title track off Parklife as well.

Also;

Elvis Costello - She (boooooorrrrrring)
David Bowie - Space Oddity (sounds so much better in its stripped-down, acoustic form)

The Cure Friday I'm in love. It's **** so is that opening song in the Wish album Open. It's about being drunk at a party or s/t. FFS like we wanna know that Robert! Just go and write another Sinking or Just like heaven.

TBWTTIHS is a bit ave. A good song though but one dimensional CG however is sublime. I'm amazed a smiths fan doesn't like it. My brother hates SGABTO which I think is sublime too. Funny how people like and don't like songs.

I disagree.

:wave: I hate that one, too, but I didn't include it because that marked the point I stopped I following the band's new releases.

'Friday I'm In Love' is certainly far from being one of their best songs but I certainly don't hate it either. It sounds great when I'm really in the mood for it and sometimes makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. But still it sounds inferior to their other hit singles such as 'Just Like Heaven' and 'Inbetween Days'.

ditto. although I got Bloodflowers when it came out and thought it was pretty good. Watching me fall was epic! I'm gonna catch up on the others on spotify.WMS is supposed to be under-rated acc. to some peeps a/w.

oh gawd! don't get me started on SGABTO

O.k i won't. No skin off my nose if you don't like it!

I actually like 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others'. It's certainly not the best song on The Queen Is Dead but it has some very witty lyrics.

"From the ice-age to the dole-age
There is but one concern
I have just discovered

Some girls are bigger than others"

It's kind of a fun song.

The Boy with The Thorn is so corny and boring, I hate the melody and the lyrics and the way he sings it. I just can't with that song. But then again most people don't like Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before or Death of A Disco Dancer but I think both are pretty flawless. The opening bass of DoaD is perfect.

Straight To Hell is by far my favorite song from that album. My favorite Clash song period. But the others you listed are great, and definitely some of the better songs on that fairly underwhelming album.

Enjoy the silence by Depeche Mode. That song seemed to regain them popularity at a point when it was waining a bit. I never liked it. I think Black Celebration was their best by far. But not tonight, somebody and and sometimes I can really appreciate from them.

hell yeah

So many artists are loosing their touch i hear great songs and smile knowing theyre still there lost in the back but the new stuff is going downhill need someone who wont decline and die like some of the best artists around...hopefully it comes soon :(

The beginning of the end:

Enter Sandman - Metallica

:)

Straight To Hell is my favourite Clash Track by far.

I don't see the problem.
The Wish album is a steaming turd of a record anyway. All they're doing is stating their intent on the first song to save you from wasting around 40/45 minutes of your life having to listen to the rest of the album.

Why? That song is amazing.

Same here! I literally get a little wet every time I hear the introduction to it.

I think there are better songs on the album - I agree it overall sucks, though.
I think "Friday" was placed somewhere in the middle of the album and there were some better ones on there somewhere. Goddamn, it's weird that The Cure lost it almost 20 years ago.

Kings Of Leon's - Use Somebody.

Love tha band, but this song jsut gets under my skin so bad. And its so overated, Sex on fire is overated.. but i actually like that song!! haa

You Never Give Me Your Money- The Beatles. I don't know why, I just can't stand that song. Eck.

Oh wait. Was that song even a hit? Probably not..

I did enjoy Sex On Fire, but hated Use Somebody. I never bothered to listen to anything else they did. Use Somebody was terrible.

Wish is certainly not a steaming turd of a record. While it may be far off their best it has some great moments such as 'Apart' and 'A Letter To Elise'. I certainly wouldn't go as far as to completely write it off. I actually think a few great songs were left off that album though, 'Halo' and 'This Twilight Garden' were better than most of the songs on the album.

Really? I love it! As a song it doesn't make sense but I know all the words to it. That shows how many times I've listened to the Jagged Little Pill.

i fucking hate Ironic

Still going? I thought the thread idea was good :)

I have another one - Starship, "Tomorrow Doesn't Matter Tonight." So dated but not nearly as catchy as "We Built This City." Although there's a pretty brunette in the video and also, as I read a claim tonight, Chynna Phillips.

Time of Your Life by Green Day is pretty bad

and i mildly like them

Yes, agreed. "21 Guns" has a similar stink to it, but at least it has decent lyrics. Billy Jo Armstrong doesn't seem to sing about love with any passion. It's like he is lecturing.

I don't care if I never hear "Pretty Woman" by Van Halen again. Its an awful song in the first place, let alone being over-played as well.

The entire American Idiot album by Green Day,

Atlas by Battles. The vocal effect annoys me.

I wanna hear some ambience of birds chirping in the background accompanied by a waterfall followed by a 17 minute prog epic. Not a song with 4 chords with a 30 second guitar solo.


I really liked Genesis' older stuff and in my humble opinion phil should've stayed behind the drum kit. His music just doesn't do it for me. Probably one of my least favorite Genesis tracks.

Now that you comment Phil Writer, he was questionable to be on my table for "I Cannot Conceive It's Sincere." Horn-based with repetitive, silly lyrics. It charted okay, but rightfully has been forgotten. Also, Van Halen's "Hot for Educator," because it has silent lyrics and I don't suchlike the important riff and stop-and-go pacing. Symmetrical the guitar solo doesn't run me for many ground.

Alex?

I don't like I Can't Dance either, but as far as I'm concerned that one track is the only turkey that the Phil Collins lead Genesis produced.
I could have done the whole American Psycho shtick, but I opted not to.

I mean, Invisible Touch had both Land Of Confusion and In Too Deep, and they're in my opinion two of the finest Genesis songs of all time.

Yellow Submarine By The Beatles.

Everytime I hear that song I cringe. Screw You Ringo Starr.

^^huh? Yellow Submarine is a Lennon-McCartney song, Ringo only sang it

All Together Now is much worse, at any rate, if you're talking Beatles' children's songs
