Well you're very much in the minority there I think.

Ditto about that.

What do you feel are the strengths of those two songs?

I love Bye Bye Badman personally. The lyrics relate to the student riots in Paris in the 60's which I liked, and I just think its a great song. Especially the bridge or whatever you wanna call it at the end.

I've always found Bye Bye Badman flat and uninteresting in context with the album, and unfortunately for me the lyrical content just isn't enough to save that. Unfortunately I do think it is the weakest point of the album.

That's fine, doesn't bother me.

Both of classics.
Those gorgeous opening chords of BBM and the way it effortlessly picks up a faster beat and the outro guitar lines are rarely finely wrought. The lyrics are smart too and about a cool subject that they nail.
SFMSSS has got a beautifully executed languid quality to the verses and an impassioned soaring chorus.
In composition and execution both songs are totally top class.

I just find it surprising anyone not ill-desposed to Ian Brown 'cause he's screwed your g/f would think anything like that. That's kinda why I'm replying. It's just surprising!

And yet Oasis still made a better album with Definitely Maybe (and arguably Morning Glory) than any other Britpop band could hope to achieve.

Someone has never listened to The Auteurs

I like the chorus in (Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister but that's it really, but I do think it's a better song than Bye Bye Badman. Not to say Doolittle is without it's weaker moments, despite being a stronger album in my view. Silver is certainly far from being one of my favourite Pixies songs.

I have no idea what you're on about now.

Suede - self-titled, Pulp - Different Class, The Auteurs - New Wave. Jus' sayin'.
