I sort of hate the 2nd half of Surfer Rosa. All the songs on the 2nd half just feel out of place. I think it should have been an 9 song album. Tony's Theme, Brick is Red, and I'm Amazed should be B-sides on singles. Oh My Golly is a good song, but just doesn't fit.

I like Brick is Red, though I think that after Cactus it isn't as good of an album. Doolittle is more even I think.

"Total trash" is rather poor ( there's just one riff in this song , right? )
Yet , I don't hate it or dislike it or skip it when I listen DN.

"Maybe These Boys" is a total black spot on Remote Luxury by The Church.
"Changes" on Black Sabbath Volume 4 is the biggest offender though.
Way to ruin a perfect album, guys.

What the hell? Changes is a good song! Maybe it's because it appeals to the sappy side in me.

Songs that ruin good albums.

All Sonic Youth albums have 1 song that ruins the rest.

There's more but I can't think of any.

But how does one song ruin the rest of the songs? It might be a flaw in the album but it hardly ruins the rest of it. Like you can't listen to the other songs anymore because of the one song that's bad?

I didn't say it ruined all the other songs.
I said the album would have been 100% gold if it weren't for that blemish.
Just because you miss the last strike in a perfect bowling game doesn't mean you didn't throw a bunch of other strikes; it just means you didn't have a perfect game.

It doesn't. I've no idea why I wrote that one. Either way SY always have a song that really isn't good/

But you cut everything after Cactus and put those song on their own EP, and Surfer Rosa would be the best Pixies album. The tapering off kind of kills it.

I agree with specific albums, but there have been albums that totally ruin a band for me... ie; "Smashing Pumpkins"* new piece of turd that I haven't even heard, but the two songs make me vahm... and The Mars Volta's Amputechture... Scab Dates started the shittyness... and it grew to such a peak... oh man.
Weirdly... I was listening to Siamese Dream this morning, and I just bought the Tremulant 12"EP...
*hardly...

There are so many crappy songs on albums that stick out like a sore thumb that I adore,

Smashing Pumpkins - We Only Come Out at Night
Sonic Youth - Panty Lies (the harmonics are sick, the drumming is amazing too, its got a great creepy vibe)
Pavement - Serpentine Pad

as for bad ones:

Modest Mouse has plenty of fucking garbage on all their albums..
My bloody valentine - I Only Said


but, the quintessential bad song on amazing album is:
pavement - hit the plane down.

A few off the top of my head:

The Beatles - When I'm Sixty-Four (This song has always been too much on the hokey side for my liking.)
The Cure - Screw (The Head on the Door would be perfect if it weren't for this one.)
Elliott Smith - Cupid's Trick (The verses are fine, but the chorus is godawful. This song feels a bit out of place on the album.)

Serpentine Pad is an excellent song. I find Wowee Zowee perfect from start to finish.

Agreed, Wowee Zowee is the best Pavement album. Serpentine pad is one of my favourites, and I have to say I never skip a song on that album.

I've always felt that Wild Horses just totally killed Sticky Fingers. Oceans didn't really seem to fit Ten either. Lots of albums have the obligatory "slow" tune that ruins the tempo.
