Not a common occurrence, but don't you just hate that one song you can't stand in that otherwise flawless album? I know I do.

Replacement's Black Diamond sounds awful to me and I can't pin point it. The "ooh black diamond" sounds like "holy diver" to me and the whole "out of the streets for a living" sounds like the pseudo-tough guy stuff Guns N Roses would write. Otherwise, I love Let It Be.

Whenever I put on Zen Arcade, I expect continuous awesome and then "Monday Will Never Be The Same" comes on and I'm thoroughly confused. We don't need a slow down piano filler.

I would love Isn't Anything if the weird accidentally hip hop "Soft As Snow (But Warm Inside)" wasn't present. And the "wonk wonk" and the "break down" parts are annoying. But I do laugh when he asks Can I touch you there?

"Rape Me" is almost a total study in repetitive lyrics if it weren't for that middle versus which is nice but not enough. But I love the rest of In Utero.

Pixies' "There Goes My Gun" suffers from the same problem without the help of any verses at all. Friend or foe repeated three times... awesome.

"Bubblegum" makes absolutely no sense tacked onto the otherwise dark EVOL with the CD release. In fact putting anything after the ending to Expressway to Yr. Skull should be a crime. This was a leading reason as to why I didn't fully appreciate the album until I got it on vinyl and it's locked loop goodness.

There, it was nice to get those off my chest.

"Maybe These Boys" is a festering boil on the otherwise perfect "Remote Luxury" by the Church.

I agree with Bublegum, its the first song that came to mind. But I disagree with Rape me. I think it's a great song. It's kind of like neverminds polly.

I hesitate to agree, because Rape Me is really boring, especially in comparison to the rest of the album.

My Friend Goo is really cringe-worthy onm the otherwise astounding Goo.

I like that some bands do terrible tracks. I think it's the non-redemptive aspect of SY that keeps me coming back. Because the first thing I thought when I saw this thread was Sonic Youth. Bless 'em.

Yeah, it's sounds good on starpower not EVOL. Maybe if they'd put it somewhere not the end it would have been OK.
As for bad songs good albums, Track 5 off spiderland really drags, even though it's the shortest song on the LP!

I think that's more to the fact that almost nothing happens over the whole five minutes. Seriously, that song is so utterly forgettable that I had to re-listen to figure out what you were referring to.

Well I just think it is out of place, on the whole album, on what could be a great album.

"We Will Fall" from The Stooges 1st album, guess its them trying to be The Doors but its just goes on and on, and its so repeative.

It's an okay song but it has no logical place on that record.

"Lover I Don't Have to Love" on Bright Eyes' Lifted album sucks ass because of the cheesy string section in the chorus.

true, at least they didn't clunk it in between marilyn moore and expressway, you can easily skip it since it's at the end.

hmm.

i actually think slint's for dinner on spiderland is one of their greatest songs.. there's something about the dynamics on that one. listen to it again. wonderful.

anyway, my vote is electioneering by radiohead.
