[dontpaintyourteeth]

Abbey Road (Maxwell's Bastard Silver Hammer)

Rumours (Oh Daddy)

Meddle (Seamus)

less boomer examples welcome

[SpiderChrist]

The Lexicon of Love - 4ever 2gether

[lazyhour]

Nancy and Lee: You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling

[Pauline Walnuts]

Meddle (Seamus)

And San Tropez.

[Video Game Fan 2000]

Sweet Black Angel stinking up Exile
I can't go for Here He Comes on Before and After Science

[The Mollusk]

"Yellow Submarine" on Revolver. Even the more plodding pedestrian tracks on that album are miles better than that dreary whimsical sack of shite.

[The Mollusk]

Most Ween albums, even at their best, have at least one duffer. Pure Guava and Chocolate And Cheese are two of the best albums I've ever heard but "Mourning Glory" and "Candi" respectively are both absolute piddle, skipped without hesitation every time.

I was tempted to nominate "Ice Castles" off White Pepper as well but that's at least listenable and pleasant enough.

Peking O off Tago Mago.

Tomorrow Never Knows more like This Song Blows

I fucking LOVE Mourning Glory and used to quote it often with my bff when we be sunbathing together by the lake "why would he be such a fucka to me..."

Candi is shit though.

[Natnar]

Rumours (Oh Daddy)

Oh Daddy is a great moody Christine classic. I'd say I Don't Want To Know is the Rumours stinker.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

I suppose it's boring to talk about the Beatles anymore but Mr Moonlight off Beatles For Sale. Absolute toss.

[lazyhour]

I can't go for Here He Comes on Before and After Science

OMG! That's one of my favourites on the album! The way the vocal melody compliments the chord change into the chorus is aural bliss to my ears.

[Sean Ymphs]

Big Day from Skylarking.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

I heart a Magician off Emergency and I.

[Brundle-Fly]

The plodding extended studio version of Too Much Too Young on The Specials debut album. What was Costello thinking?

Ernold Same on Blur's The Great Escape. Quite nice string arrangement but rather a pointless endeavour. I never had a problem with Country House. How do you like dem apples (& pears)?

[Brundle-Fly]

Big Day from Skylarking.

I love Big Day, one of Colin Moulding's finest lyrics IMO. There's not a single duff track for me on that masterpiece but then I would say that.

[Greg Torso]

"Attack on Love" off Electr-O-Pura, thanks for ruining the mood with two minutes of tossed off SHITE guys, and right before the best song on the whole record.

Should have called it 'Beatles Are Knackered' - half the songs on that album are Hamburg bincake!

He Thought of Cars, Best Days, Yuko and Hiro, Globe Alone are all good. Country House is an abomination. Weird album really. A mixed bag

[dontpaintyourteeth]

Should have called it Running on Fumes - half the songs on that album are Landfill Merseybincake!

It's probably not a great album, no. I withdraw my remarks. Mr Moonlight is shite though.

[The Mollusk]

There are no bad songs on Rumours ffs

[The Mollusk]

I fucking LOVE Mourning Glory and used to quote it often with my bff when we be sunbathing together by the lake "why would he be such a fucka to me..."

I'll admit it's not complete and utter pap but it's not what I want to hear on that album at all. If it were on The Pod I'd be much more accommodating but even with an album as off the wall and frequently crass and stupid as Pure Guava I just don't think it fits at all.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Ape Man on Lola versus Powerman

[pigamus]

Twisted on Court and Spark

[curiousoranges]

Sloop John B. More like Poop song pee.

[non capisco]

I love Big Day, one of Colin Moulding's finest lyrics IMO. There's not a single duff track for me on that masterpiece but then I would say that.

Heresy to a lot of fans but I've never got on with Dear God at all, the one big XTC hitter that I'd go so far as to say I dislike. That tone deaf kid at the start can fuck right off up the road. Everything else on Skylarking is mint, Big Day included.

[The Mollusk]

I was trying to think of the shit song on that album and yeah it is "Dear God", really really crap song.
