yes!! it totally throws the flow off.

"It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" and "Stand" both destroy the flow of what would otherwise be two perfect moody and vibrant REM records.

George Harrison, All Things Must Pass. You know what I'm talking about.

Consider that shit as received. One of the better songs on that album.

"L.A. Blues" on Funhouse (Disappointing end for an otherwise outstanding album)

"Free Speach For The Dumb" on Hear Nothing, See nothing, Say Nothing (The vocals are way too repetitive for me. It figures that Metallica would cover it)

"Born To Be Wild" on Electric (The original was perfect. Why the hell did they have to go and fuck it up?)

"Rip Off" on Electric Warrior, so bad. so very bad. "Being in the nude/feeling such a dude/ it's a rip off". boo.

"Glass Onion" on the White Album, jesus people. the second song? fucking crap. it'd be like Plant singing "I told you 'bout the Stairway to Heaven...." CRAP. Worst beatles song. worse that "Obladi, Oblada" worse than "Octopuses' Garden". THE WORST.

"Hit the Plane Down" on Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. I like the talking, but that song is just bad bad bad.

"Kooks" on Bowie's Hunky Dory. bleargh. no thanks.

there are more.

Did you know Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da is about...Desmond Dekker?

I did not know this until the other day. It made my hating of this song feel slightly shameful.

But not shameful enough to make me stop disliking the song altogether.

Oh yeah, "Nostalgia" on Archers of Loaf's Vee Vee.


crap!

wow. that's the best song off the album.

you mean 'anne don't you cry' and 'the hexx' when you say that right?

Someone thinks "Ann Don't Cry" is a good song? This is the worst Pavement song ever. It's worse than "Hit the Plane Down" and "Stub Your Toe." It's worse than "Major Leagues" and "Fillmore Jive," because absolutely nothing happens in the whole song. It's the puniest and most boring song on a bad album. "The Hexx," on the other hand. On Slow Century, there's a video of them playing this song at Lollapalooza some years before Terror Twilight came out. It's a much heavier and mightier version of the tune, and it's phenomenal. The double drumming is tight, and Spiral Stairs has some badass guitar playing. Way to go, Nigel Godrich.

I sympathize with whomever said "Birthday Pony;" it's definitely the weakest on that album. I think it's the verse rhythm's fault.

"Psychosomatica," definitely. I think it could have been good on WhatFunLifeWas, but TDN production is terrible for that kind of rock song.

"TV Party" is great, and the Damaged version is tops.

I nominate:
"Vanity Fair" from California
"West of the Fields" from Murmur
"Clover" from the Black Taj album (the first of at least two, looks like)

The all-time champ is "Lieber Honig" from the first Neu! album. Why on earth would I want to listen to this after listening to all that. "Don't Sell Your Dreams," another song that tries to end a noisy album by abruptly cutting off the penultimate, loud song and turning the volume down to a whisper, is more effective. It sounds like echoes of all of Y, and it's cool to hear interplay within a band at a tortoise's pace. I'm not sure about the end of the song, though, which just sounds like someone was tossing around some bubble wrap.
