Dude. On the Run is an awesome track (especially listening to it with headphones).

Fitter Happier is also pretty good

I’m not really familiar with much of RadioHeads collection just because it pissed me off when all their music didn’t sound like Creep 😂I know that’s a cringe take but that gritty sound from creep carried on would’ve made for a great grunge-esque band

I’ll certainly check it out!Thanks for the recommendation!

I realized after posting that it is nothing like Creep lol but if you're looking for a few songs with lyrics try National Anthem, Optimistic, There There, Sail to The Moon, Where I End and You Begin, Paranoid Android, and Karma Police

Mother - The Police / Synchronicity

Agree - Mother seems so out of place in that album. I also wish they swapped Murder by Numbers with Tea in the Sahara so they ended that way.

Mamacita by Outkast on Aquemini. The repetitiveness drives me crazy and ruins what would otherwise be a perfect album for me.

It’s really fun to listen to for me, but yea repetitive as hell

Jewels N Drugs ft. T.I, Twista andToo Short - on Lady Gaga’s album Artpop.

Rest of the album is fucking great. This track basically isn’t a Gaga song but one she is featured on. It’s the only song on any of her albums that I’ll go out of my way to skip.

I think Endless, Nameless and Fitter Happier are great songs!

I think Maxwell's Silver Hammer on The Beatles Abbey Road is pretty awful. Especially with it following 'Something', which I think is one of their finest songs.

Starfuckers, Inc. from The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails. Always felt like they were trying to recapture the edginess of Closer and combine it with the techno fusion of The Perfect Drug and it just was too much. Would have rather had 10 Miles High make the album, but it’s obvious they were chasing a single. While The Fragile is my favorite album of theirs, Starfucker, Inc was not the lightning in the bottle they expected it to be and I’d argue nails hasn’t had a major commercial hit since The Perfect Drug; at least nothing on the same level as it, Closer, and the singles from Pretty Hate Machine.

I thought Starfuckers was supposed to be a parody of a Marilyn Manson song.

In The Garage? C’mon. I hate KISS with a passion and still have a soft spot in my heart for this song. It’s as pure of a coming of age song as there is.

It's Weezer. Please don't tell me this is a joke and I just got woooshed.

OldDipper t1_j2bybkl wrote

They name checked Ace instead of Paul or Gene, and it’s the same amount of syllables. It was sincere.

RossMachlochness t1_j2c6ajm wrote

Rivers snipes upstream, not downstream. Liking KISS in 1986ish wasn’t practically cool and D&D at the time was probably less cool than KISS. However, would either shock you in regards to what a 16 year old Rivers was into at the time? To me, nothing in Rivers persona reeks of being the cool kid, so I’ve always likened this to a “safe space” song. The guy was in shadows of KISS posters and rolled 12s because a DM told him to. “The Garage” is where he made himself into who is.

Silverchair - Spawn (Again) (Neon Ballroom) *Sick bassline though

Interpol - PDA (Turn On The Bright Lights) *That album is a front to back listen for me but that song just sticks out like a sore thumb for me

thequicknessinc t1_j298r8h wrote

The version on the Spawn soundtrack is much better. Never was a silverchair fan, but that was a highlight of that album for me. Strange because the neon ballroom is soooo similar but it’s just missing that extra something that DJ Greyboy delivered. Rare occasion where the remix is better than the original.

I wore that Spawn soundtrack into the ground 😂 (Can’t You) Trip Like I Do ripped.

Agree on Drunk and Hot Girls and Drips (one of the few songs I disliked enough to wholly delete it from my library instead of just skipping it)

Disagree on Fitter Happier and White Light, but to each their own.

As for a few of my own opinions--I wouldn't even consider most of these to be that bad, just a little abrasive and dragging while listening to the album:

Coat Check Dream Song - Bright Eyes (not even that bad, but a skippable weak spot on an album full of 9s and 10s)

The Black Rainbow - Coheed & Cambria (I thought the album was a good return to form overall, but the closer draaaaags)

Probably a controversial opinion, but Time - David Bowie (I love Bowie, but both the music and lyrics of this song are too self-important and come across as "I'm 14 and this is deep" to me)

Not a whole song in itself, but the end of The Shrine/An Argument - Fleet Foxes (the whole album is so serene and/or transcendent, so the ugly horns are so jarring and feel unnecessary)

Teeth - Lady Gaga (Such an unexciting and repetitive closer to an album with no fat otherwise)

Mango Pickle Down River - M.I.A. (I appreciate the intent, but the beat isn't great, and the recording is weak)

The Kids From Yesterday - My Chemical Romance (It would be fine in itself, but the drum sound is so distractingly bad)

I love Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, but seeing those soulless boomers dancing to Don't Stop Believing at Bill Clinton's first inauguration ruined that song for me. It's an immediate skip every time. Damn shame too, it's a well-crafted pop song.

Don't Stop Believing? By Fleetwood Mac?

RagingLeonard t1_j29m6io wrote

LOL, see I blocked it out. I mean Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow or whatever it's called.

thepeopleperson666 t1_j29nr44 wrote

Shit! I forgot all about that song! I was 9 when Clinton was inaugurated, so I don't remember that shit. It's still a solid song in my brain.

Whenever I hear Fleetwood Mac, I think about Stevie Nicks having roadies boof cocaine up her butt so she could stay high while preserving g her sinuses to record the greatest yacht rock album of all time. Maybe now you can too
