Least favorite song(s) off of your favorite albums?
ViewtifulTj:
Well, i guess for me it would have to be Lie buried with a vengence on Dir En Grey's album The Marrow of a Bone.
stale:
How about 'Bandwitch' from Broken Social Scene's s/t? What a boring song. If they'd switched it places with 'Canada vs. America', the album would be perfect.
KharBevNor:
You people like shit like Radiohead and Deerhoof and you dare to moan about Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and Yellow Submarine?
I literally cannot get my head around other peoples musical taste.
My nominations for worst songs off of favourite albums, hmmmn... I suppose the obvious one is 'Twilight Twilight Nihil Nihil' off of Current 93's 'All the Pretty Little Horses'. It's far too long, not particularly inventive and simply doesn't fit in with the album at all (it would be more at home on some of C93's 80's material). That said, the version on Cats Drunk On Copper, where Dave got Michael Cashmore and Johnny Balance reading the lyrics with him in a round, and backed it up with the 'Long Shadows' loop, is fucking brilliance, so it's a good thing it exists. Still, it dethrones what would be C93's best album to only their third best (after 'Thunder Perfect Mind' and 'Soft Black Stars'). I can't think of any other particularly gratuitous offenders...maybe 'Science Never Sleeps' from Skyclad's 'Irrational Anthems', but the second half of that album is a bit weak compared to the first half anyway...more concrete Skyclad example might be 'Gammadion Seed' from Prince of the Poverty line, but the thing is, that is actually a pretty good song, just not quite as good as the rest of the album, whereas Science Never Sleeps is one of the very few Skyclad songs that I could do without. Along the line of good songs that aren't quite as good as the rest of the album, what about 'Lifebooks' from Death in Junes 'Rose Clouds of Holocaust', or 'Exile (Les Litanies De Satan)' from Ancient Rites' 'Dim Carcosa'. Both of those are good songs, but they ain't maybe quite good enough. Then again I feel this is more for tracks which are kind of crap on otherwise good or great albums, not for merely good songs on great albums.

ignoring the terrible grammar in that quote, amen!
Regardless of what I think of the other man's opinions on songs, even if they're shooting down my favorite song, I am not just gonna come out and respond with the blanket statement, 'how could you possibly enjoy that load of bull?' it's just not polite.
I could see someone defending their musical tastes with an actual rebuttal, but the truth is, this world is filled with different people with different tastes, and while being PC is one thing that really bugs me sometime, there are boundaries that just go with common courtesy.
*steps off of soapbox*
I also dislike The Shankill Butchers when put in comparison to the rest of that album, however, I had no idea that it was based on true events, or that those events were recent. Hm. learn something new everyday I suppose. :-)
