Your Least Favorite Song From Each Album


Mr. Not

Recommended Posts

List them. Should be a fun and challenging exercise for certain albums, whether it be having to eliminate such a good song, or having too many crappy songs to choose from. I think we'll have a lot of agreements in this thread too, so that should be cool as well.

I actually like a bunch of these, but the albums are so strong that a GOOD song represents the WORST of that album.

I like part where the first list has two songs (Finding My Way and Red Tide) that were on my "pick a favorite song from each album" list.

 

 

Edit: errr I suck at reading. For some reason I saw "Red Lenses" and thought it was "Red Tide"

After making this list, I realized I really appreciate that they rarely do slow songs, and I'm very happy for that, because they don't pull it off very well. It's like their one weakness.

 

Also keep in mind these are LEAST FAVORITES, I'm not calling them bad songs!

Wow! Three people picked Lakeside Park which is the best song on Caress. Amazing...

And there's a lot of people choosing Here Again - that's an underrated classic if ever there was one..

laugh.gif

 

True...well, to be fair...there are tons of songs on here that I see people listing that I feel are the best on their respective albums.

 

With that said, I did choose Lakeside Park, but for no other reason than the fact that it seems to be one I don't listen to as often. Still a great tune!

 

Also...agreed 100% on Here Again. Just an awesome song...and one of my favourites from the debut.

That's a bit opinionated, don't you think?

 

Then again, nearly every post I've read of yours is overtly opinionated biggrin.gif

 

 

 

P.S. My favorite on CoS is Lamneth, yeah, that's right, I said it! 1022.gif

Well, if you're not joking, literally SIX of your choices I'd choose as the best song on their respective albums, and THREE other of your choices I'd rank top three from their respective albums...
