The one sucky song on your favorite album

The Crow Soundtrack:

“It Can’t Rain All the Time.”

Cloying. Trite. Just. Awful.

Not exactly my favorite album, but I really like it:

“Unsent” on Alanis Morissette’s Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. Dear Lord that song bites. And I can’t believe they actually released it. Seriously, one of the worst songs on ANY of my albums in my collection.

[sub]and actually, Alanis could have shaved 4-5 songs off that record and it would have been so much better[/sub]

Taking myhself back a bit here, but when I saw the thread title I immediately thought of Fragile by Yes where an otherwise coherent and brilliant Side One is interrupted by the out-of-place and trite “Cans and Brahms”, a very non-rockish piece of classical fluff played on four electronic keyboard instruments that sounds like a quartet of pompous ducks with adenoid problems.

number 9…number 9…number 9…number 9…number 9…
number 9…number 9…number 9…number 9…number 9…
number 9…number 9…number 9…number 9…number 9…
number 9…number 9…number 9…number 9…number 9…

“Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” on Abbey Road.

I love just about every song on Led Zeppelin’s “Physical Graffiti” except… the idiotic “Down By The Seaside.”

“Doctor Robert” on Revolver. It’s not actually sucky, but it’s less than inspired on an album chock full o’ gems.

ABBA Gold.

Thank You For The Music.

Whose bright idea was it to insert a lame-ass lounge act into this cauldron of brilliance?

That’s the ONLY bad track?!

The final track, “Love Is Blindness” is an ugly pimple on the otherwise baby-smooth bottom of U2’s Achtung Baby.

Massive Attack’s “Protection” ends with an ill-advised live cover of “Light my Fire” done in a reggae-stylee. The last track, so doesn’t spoil the album too much.

Well, it’s not my favorite album, but I always detested Bungalow on XTC’s “Nonesuch” album. Oh, and Sacrificial Bonfire on “Skylarking.”

That “Mother” song on Synchronicity.

Grrrrrr

I love Achtung and particularly that song. I think it’s the perfect ending to that album.

“The Wanderer” however, is a super-sucky end to Zooropa. Though there were a few other clunkers on that one.

“Damned Ladies” gets in the way of my otherwise complete enjoyment of Rufus Wainwright’s self-titled debut.

And why, oh why, did they break into Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble’s stellar performance in Live at Carnegie Hall to include “C.O.D”?

Whoa . . . I love “Love is Blindness” and “The Wanderer.” U2 can do no wrong.

“Octopus’s Garden” on Abbey Road

Man, I should know by now when openning a thread like this to expect to see my favortie songs slammed. :slight_smile:

I love both Unsent and It can’t Rain all the Time.

Yeah, It can’t Rain all the Time is a bit syrupy, but it’s the only song on the album that actually has anything to do with the movie thematically. (as opposed just being heard in the background). Not great songwriting, but it’s soothing…

No one will know this one, but my favorite album is Ashley MacIsaac - Hi™, how are you today? which is pretty much the perfect album except for the awful What an Idiot he is. Bleh.

Also can’t stand Me and a Gun from Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes (yeah, I know the history behind it, it’s a disgusting shame, but I just don’t like the song, ok?)

I think that is the best song on that album, it’s so funny!

This isn’t my favorite album, but I’ve always thought that Black 47’s song Fire of Freedom on the album of the same name is just crap. I don’t know why, it just gets on my nerves.

Rest of the album rocks.
