Crap songs by good bands
 

Here's a few I'll start with...

Akuma no Kuma - Sunn0))) / Boris
Special - The Game
Can't Lose - The RZA

Pop is dead - Radiohead
Your flesh is so nice - Jeff Buckley
The walk - The Cure
Jellybelly, XYU - The smashing pumpkins
Wanda lu - Tim Buckley

contre le sexisme- sy
here comes yr man- pixies
vast majority of stuff after 1990- butthole surfers

I'll ignore SY for a second... Ticket to Ride by the Carpenters; Fly Trouble/ Hey, Good looking by Hank Williams; 1976-1989 Johnny Cash and at least three songs off of every album prior; Si, Si, Si by Edith Piaf; Mess of My by The Fall (although it's only shit in the context of the brilliance of the entireity of the rest of their catalogue); The Derek Baily/ Keiji Haino collaboration... others, I expect.

Dinosaur jr - Alone, Feel The Pain plus a few more later ones
Kyuss - Thong Song

Slint -Washer (I absolutely love all the guitar riffs etc but the vocals to me sound like Billy Corgan being fucked up the ass by a horse and unfortunately they make me cringe sometimes. It could be one of my favorites otherwise)

alot of dinosaur jr. newer stuff, they just sounded like another generic indie band

I quiet like both those songs and would say both bands have much worse material.

other than that, today i heard the song go by the boredoms and i found it pretty dissappointing.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!!!! Feel the Pain may not be J Mascis' magnum opus but it is still a good song. I saw Dinosaur Jr play that last month in Boston and then again in Northampton and damn!!!!! did it rock!!!!! The album version isn't the best, seeing as how J was on his last Dinosaur legs at that point, but man it sounds soooo good when played live.

Also, I like Here Comes Your Man. It may be one of the Pixies' lesser songs, but it is still good and by no means a crap song.

Yeh I saw them play it ATP. I was pleasantly suprised that I liked it but then they played it the day after too and I really didn't wanna hear it again. Much rather them play other songs than play that in every set, I guess it's to please the people who bum the fuck out of it.

Dollars&Cents - Radiohead

i think it's probably the best song they did in 90's... of course you can't compare it to the godlike material from 80's but still a wonderful track.

I think there are much better songs on green mind and where you been although like you said they don't compare at all to the godlike material from the 80's. Those 3 albums collectively cannot be touched by anything in my opinion. Not one bad track.

akuma no uta, really ? i always liked that one...you are referring to the one on the akuma no uta cd, no ? or is this another track i'm totally uninformed about .....


shit songs by good bands....

'my boyfriend's back' cover by the raveonettes... never liked it..
'moonlight drive' by the doors

Everything on Rather Ripped.
OH do I smell rep coming?
(probably neg rep for saying that)

Hey! I like that song.

For me it would have to be............
Glass and the Ghost Children-Smashing Pumpkins
Drunken Butterfly (only Kim's singing in it though)
Radio Bomb-Matthew Good Band
and thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InJNcwVuNjM (I mean What the Holy Hell!?)

I hate to say it because they are one of my favorite killer pysch rock bands in the last few years, but the only horrible track on the latest by Comets on Fire album, Sour Smoke (ironically!) is just abit too corny... take out those awful handclaps and that organ call and answering effect and actually it be cool.

Many Pavement songs
Unfair, Extradition, Fillmore Jive. to name but a few

The first post in this thread is a joke, right?

Also, Fillmore Jive is probably one of the best Pavement songs. Crazy!

Also, the vocals in "washer" are supposed to be that way.. he's poorly singing his lover to sleep! It's one of the best songs ever!

Anyway...

shellac - new number order I never saw the point of.

I knew this thread would create a little bit of controversy.



I really want to listen to Akuma no Uta! And yes, on Altar they named a track with a very similar name to Akuma no Uta. I completely understand the confusion

Akuma no Uta = Boris album
Akuma no Kuma = Track on Altar by Boris/ Sunn0)))
