Songs You Never Want to Hear Again

Iron Maiden - Can I Play With Madness.  Urgh.  I love Maiden but I've always hated this song with a passion, so poppy and sing-songy.

Yes - The Remembering High The Memory.  I like the first and last tracks from TFTO but this song grates my nerves in a really terrible way.  I don't mind some 'meandering' prog (when its well played and interesting) but this song feels like it goes nowhere for 20+ minutes and does nothing for me... Track 3 from TFTO isn't much better IMHO.

Genesis - The Waiting Room / Supernatural Anaesthest / Ravine / Silent Sorrow.  All of these are just annoying fillers, I understand why they exist (for the live performances) but on the studio album of the Lamb they are very annoying to me.  The Waiting Room especially is like torture.  Maybe I'm hearing something different to other people!  Annoyingly this means I often skip disc 2 when listening to the lamb because I can't be botherered to keep skipping tracks...... :-(

Camel - Freefall.  I absolutely love Mirage, its one of my top albums, but not this song... Just doesn't do it for me...

I'm sure there are loads of others.  I guess with prog, a genre with so many highs there are going to be quite a few lows to balance it all out...

.......and the radio gets it's taste from small girls with a deep desire to pole-dance the night away.

Sadly, I suspect a lot of them have plenty of imagination -- they are just forbidden to use it.

So change that to "station managers" or whoever their corporate puppeteers are, and that's prob more like it.

Actually, I remember those Radicals had a second song called (I think) `Someday We'll Know', which was not quite as bad. I'd still never want to hear it again, but it was blandly pleasant and catchy. You seem to know a lot about this - hmmm, 'outfit'. Why ???

I vaguely recall seeing some interview with that main guy years ago, maybe like on some dogsh*t `Video Hits' type show or something. What's worse than that is that I actually remembered that information!

Anyway, I'm off to hit myself in the head with a hammer, try to forget some stuff!

Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple

^ Same here. The first time I've ever heard it, though. They sound like an electrified version of Carole King.
