Not because it’s a bad song, simply because of the noise in the opening seconds. Makes me cringe every time.
Hell yeah, you just made it an “Exercises in Futility” kinda day. Well, musically anyway. I had the rest covered already

Guns and Roses - My World
Tom Waits - I Don’t Wanna Grow Up
Nick Cave - Any of the moody ambient stuff
Pearl Jam - Daughter
Queen - Flash Gordon
Mine is queen, too! but the song is Radio Gaga.
I love that song :(
Video was pretty dope to boot.
Edit: I don’t care who this upsets. Metro retro will always be dope to me!
Queen - Bicycle
strong disagree
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer by The Beatles.
there isn’t worse‽
Are you not counting “Revolution 9” as a “song”? Understandable.
number 9?
number 9?
number 9?
number 9?
yes!
it’s the song that destroyed them. it’s stupid and offensive in ways that would make GG Allen blush
Loved it as kid, bet I’d hate it now.
I maintain that Cake has never released a bad album, but Race Car Ya-Yas on Fashion Nugget is absolute crap. A festering boil on the face of an otherwise unblemished body of work.
Only slightly disagree. It’s fine. Far (faaaaaaar) from their best, but its not unlistenably bad.
Opera Singer, tho, now that’s a beautiful, beautiful song. Spent a good few months with it stuck in my head more often than not, just daring me not to belt it out at random
Ya that’s a good one. Still give that album 10/10 tho.
Sheep go to heaven
A really fun song live actually.
Radiohead - Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors
Daft Punk - Brainwasher
Really? Interesting. I think the version on Alive 2007 combined with Alive and Prime Time of Your Life is like the pinnacle of that album.
The alive 2007 version fits in the live set. That was much better than the song on its own on the human after all album
My favourite singer is Enya, and I still haven’t listened to the album “And Winter Came” all the way through. Her holiday album.
There’s also a holiday edition of Amarantine and I’ve never heard it.
I have Apple Music. I have access to all of this. When I added Amarantine, the holiday edition shows by default. I scrolled down to “other versions” and selected the original and added that to my library (I also have the physical CD and I’ve ripped it and the others and many more to the highest m4a/aac fre:ac can do).
I just don’t do holiday music. Not a grinch or anything, it’s just not for me.
My favorite band (that has done a winter holiday release), kinda totally aced it, so I can’t relate on that. But Enya’s Day Without Rain is and has long been one of my all-time favorite no-skip albums. Especially Tempus Vernum, lately. My only complaint is that it wraps in under 3 minutes tbh
Edit: links
If you like Enya in Latin, check out Pax Deorum off The Memory of Trees. Similar energy but almost scary. Name means “peace of the gods”.
A Day Without Rain, Amarantine, and Dark Sky Island are in my heavy rotation.
Seems I ought to dig a bit deeper into her catalog because this is definitely the vibe. Thanks for the great rec!
Dream Theater - Anna Lee
It’s an alright song, I guess, but it’s so far away from their other stuff that I do like, and it’s really not my cup of tea.
The first dream theater song that came to my head that I don’t like is Viper King lol
I always saw that song as a tribute to songs like Highway Star. Definitely not my favorite either though
Green day - the entire uno dos tres albums.
Not really my ultimate favorite, but it stands out because it’s one song that ruins the album for me: “Drawing The Line” from Porcupine Tree’s concept album “The Incident”. The sudden tonal shift takes me out of the mood when listening to the album in its entirety.
It’s Permanating by Steven Wilson for me, but possibly only because i skipped most of the albums afterwards.
Genesis - Illegal Alien, overly poppy and tasteless for a variety of reasons. If not for the lyrics and racial insensitivity, it would be musically preferable to Who Dunnit
Peter Gabriel - The Story of OVO, I love to see Peter experiment and test out different genres but he does not realize how important flow is to rap/hip hop and his lyrical verbosity got the best of him
Honorable mention: Foreigner - Big Dog, overly repetitive riff, trite and creepy symbolism, and really weird growling by Lou Gramm. The sax solo is good though
