Yeah, if I had to choose I'd rather enjoy than understand music any day.

Just completely sublime from the first bars of 'Tunnel Of Love' to the closing notes of 'Solid Rock'........and then we get 'Les Boys' - which makes me want to stick a rusty fork in my ears Wink


People who hate Moonchild and Revolution 9 don't understand music.

I agree with that pretty much, though of course understanding is no guarantee of enjoyment.

'Delilah' on Queen's Innuendo. It's a great album, but this song ruins everything, just everything. A disaster track and simply the most horrrible thing my fav band ever did.

I think Party/Kashoggi's Ship is the worst thing they ever did, and that includes Hot Space. Delilah is generally pretty bad, but I enjoy May making his guitar sound like a cat. They are one of my very favorite bands too, but they have released some pretty terrible music.

Speaking of Queen, I'm of the opinion that "Sweet Lady" really stinks on an otherwise pretty flawless album (A Night at the Opera).

Party might suck, but Khashoggi's Ship is not a bad thing, just a generic hard rocker.

Faith No More - RV: Hardly listenable for me
The Mars Volta - Miranda... That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore: Prevents "Frances" from being my favorite TMV album, never mind it's 13 minutes long!

Miranda... is a great song. Maybe even the best on this album: excellent slow ambient intro, then some nice balladry. At least not as chaotic as most of their stuff.

'The Crunge' by Led Zep on Houses of the Holy. Pretty weak song on otherwise great LP.

'ProzaKc Blues' on The ConstruKction of Light'. Those silly distorted vocals set up some really wrong moods for this album, but without that track the album works perfectly for me. Especially LTIAptIV

'She Shook Me Cold' by Bowie from' The Man Who Sold the World'. A very boring song on a really outstanding album.

Maybe "Harry Irene" from Beefheart's "Shiny Beast" album.  It's almost good, but... it's just not.

Here's another one that pops up pretty damn quick:

Revolution #9 - Beatles. The white album is arguably one of the greatest musical releases of all time and here comes, oh lord, a sound collage that doesn't end.

Providence is great... it's a shame that it is so underrated. Indeed, very few people can enjoy it, but it simply doesn't make it any worse than it is.

Moonchild is not a bad thing too, but maybe a bit long.

On Bruford's 'Feels Good to Me' there is one, or rather two tracks where the most peculiar thing Annette Peacock makes itself heard. Boy, that thing shaved 2 stars off the album's rating.  

On American Beauty, there is a track towards the end of Side A that must be skipped by every reasonable man, woman and child

Let's Sleep Together on FOABP resembles - not sure how, but it does - Liam Gallagher, 'nuff sed.

Cry One of my favorites on it, actually.  The closest to a "stinker" on the album (and it's still at least a 4+ star song) is Bring Me Coffee Or Tea.

21st Century Schizoid Man and Moonchild are the only two tracks I really like off that album. Confused
