hard topic. the album has to be otherwise perfect, save for one shitty track.

off the top of my head i'd say:

"fitter, happier, more productive" - radiohead, ok computer. sums up the zeitgeist of the 90's, sure, but is the one you always hafta skip.
"indian song" from elastica's self-titled album. thoroughly uninspiring.
track #1 from mystery machine's 10 speed (a little obscure, i guess). this is a cd-rom video track on an otherwise audio cd that makes the hugest screeching noises if played on a cd player.
"this is the land" - the bees, free the bees. like so many other terrible tracks, this one's seemingly stuck in the last position slot to fill space. great album, tho.

ROBT.

Pet Sounds is the most overrated album of all time. It always makes the top 3 in 'best album ever' polls, but really it's insane how it's so revered. The Beach Boys have done some outstanding work, but Pet Sounds disappointed me. Sloop John B is good I say and the song that pops into my head straight away when I see that cover is 'Coroline No'.

Another overrated album: Revolver. Turkey track: Yellow Submarine.

Album: Welcome to the Cruel World
Artist: Ben Harper
Track: Mama's got a girlfriend now.

Look, on it's own, maybe it's alright. It's the track placement that is just awful.

System of a Down

Mezmerize

"This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song"

There's nothing particularily bad about this song. Just after a long day of listening to nothing but System and Daft Punk with a head full of LSD left my brain combining this song with a Daft Punk song. I couldn't get the abomination of a mix out of my head for days. I've never been able to listen to it since. The Daft Punk song came out unscathed.

^^^HAHA....I've never really listened to too much of THe Beatles, but just the other day a friend of mine sent me that track and was raving on about how good it was. I didn't care too much for it either.

I agree, gentlemen - and the fact that I forgot about it proves howw crap it is. It's George's worst song. Definitely an exzmple of 'the track you always skip'. I've nothing whatsoever against sitars and that kind of musical influnece - it's just a shyte, forgetable song.

I hate to say this, but I also think 'On the Run' (Pink Floyd, Dark side of the Moon) is one of those tracks. It's actually an excellent track and totally ahead of its time, but how many of us skip it to go quickly from 'Breathe' to 'Time'?

I shouldn't be too harsh on the sitar. The Beatles did well with it in Norwegian Wood, and the Stones used it to good effect in Paint It Black. But in the end, the sitar winds up mostly just being a gratuitous novelty instrument. "Hey, look at me. I'm enlightened!"
