I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment, imagine it'd be a heck of an argument.

Loving reading through all these suggestions, quite a few I definitely agree with so far. I aim to listen through the ones I don't yet have an opinion on, see if I can hear what you guys are saying :) May as well throw in an example myself, I personally believe that Blur's 2015 comeback album The Magic Whip is pretty decent already but would be markedly improved by removing New World Towers and Ice Cream Man. Not that they're horrible songs, but the record is really bloated and frontloading the album with 2 relatively uninteresting plodders makes it feel like you might be in for a bit of a slog. Plenty of great stuff within the rest of the album.
