I cannot tell you how much I hate this song. And to think that it was the catalyst that was the final straw for Lennon and killed the band. There are other Beatles songs that I hate but this one rises to a whole new level.
Interesting choice. The Beatles have a few songs that I think they missed the mark in but usually it's when an experiment didn't quite work. This one is just bad lol. Almost every time I listen to Sgt Pepper I end up skipping Within You Without You
Above & Beyond - Excuses is the one I have to go with. They have some other songs that miss the mark but this one is particularly grating and gets a skip from me every time.
I met Jono and Tony randomly in a club toilet in the early 2000's. I was mashed off my tits so I'm not sure the conversation was riveting or enlightening for any of us.
I read somewhere that that was the whole point. Their label or manager complained that all of their songs were dull and depressing and why can't they make something that's chart friendly, so that's what they did. If you listen to the lyrics while knowing the back story you can pretty much hear the sarcasm oozing from every syllable.
Not that I can find any reference to it now, of course, but that's what I read/heard and it makes the song 10 times better.
Glitter Freeze is also quite repetitive and not my favorite track, but I actually like the synth loops in it. It should have been developed a bit more or shortened imho
I can't pick just one favorite, so I'll choose one of them. Porcupine Tree, and the song Draw The Line. Not because it's the worst in their entire catalogue, but it's so jarring hearing it right in the middle of a concept album. It just takes you out with how different it sounds to the rest of the songs.
Yes, Metallica did a song with Ja Rule. You might not like their newer stuff, but I'd rather force myself to listen to the whole St. Anger album than this piece of utter garbage.
Although there are a few equally awful songs by them. I chose Big Freeze because they had just toured with U2 and then came along with this U2 sounding song that just sucked and i dont like U2
Verscheuring in de schemering by fluisteraars. A twenty minute long song, which in it self isn‘t bad at all, but the song as a whole just doensn‘t seem to have a structure and flow.
I listened to it a couple of times as a whole but it just doesn‘t tick for me.
I first got turned onto Ghost earlier this year, and while I really like the retro tongue-in-cheek cheesiness of a lot of their stuff, The Twenties just leans a little too hard into sounding like it came out of a rock-themed Broadway show.
Btw, I just read a comment on C/trees about taking a listen to your favorite band's worst song while high... 😉
Personally I don't care for If And When We Rise Again. Song takes too long to get started, and doesn't sound that great compared to the rest of the album. I don't care for most of the 99 Songs covers either, besides a few.
I'll agree on 99. But I don't really consider that one of their albums. They explicitly produced it as a bullshit cop-out to fulfill their contract with Victory Records.
Mr Fastfinger feat. Jordan Rudess: Spirit Hunt. Good guitar music with Rudess in keyboards. Although the song sucks. I mean it goes from one idea to another. It has no musical motif which I would like it to have.
Currently on a clipping. binge, and I cannot stand the song “Get Up” even though the verses are written wonderfully. I just can’t stand the alarm tone. Too grating.
My favorite band is probably WHY?, and my answer for them is the entire Eskimo Snow album. Just… bad stuff, sandwiched between two albums that are completely incredible.
