Ditto. I knew Oxley was a painter (and his orchestra works off his graphic scores), but had no idea about his visual effects past.

yeah, no way. NOTM
also, if you get rid of "I Got the News", you lose that all of a sudden "Michael McDonald takes the wheel" bridge into the guitar solo

SITKOL is one of my favorite albums of all time but that first track is such a dirgey speed bump, ugh. I'm sooooo OTM.

This will cause outrage, but I've never had much time for "Lowdown" on "Pink Flag".

Crazy talk (but I know it's a common idea) : such a fabulous track. As spiritual and soulful as it gets. One of my favourite feel good tracks ever !

Yeah, I mean I like "I Got The News"--I used to skip it, but now I embrace its herky-jerk weirdness.
it's just a little too arch, even for Steely Dan, and is just not on the level of the rest of the tracks (a high bar but still).
It is super fun to play, though.

I'd take Ain't That Peculiar off Gentlemen Take Polaroids by Japan. It just doesn't fit at all.
I'd take It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night off Sign 'O' The Times or at least chop off half of it. I'd say the same about Bogus Man on For Your Pleasure.
I'm tempted to say the title track on Parklife but there's probably a couple of other songs that could go too.

I'd say the same about Bogus Man on For Your Pleasure.
No way, that's the centerpiece/focal point/eye of the hurricane/some other cliche of the record. And it's the "hoo boy, how'd they get there? And how are they gonna dig their way out?" which then makes "Grey Lagoons" that much more thrilling.

I do like the groove and how it leads into Grey Lagoons but I just find myself wishing it was a little bit shorter every single time I play it.

Soft Cell - Seedy Films from Non Stop Erotic Cabaret

― Wimmels, Wednesday, 17 August 2016 01:16 (seven years ago) link
xp Horsin' Around would maybe sound more at home on Swoon? but I couldn't countenance removing it from Steve McQueen, I love it too much.
probably an obvious suggestion, but I think REM's Out Of Time would be much improved by the elimination of 'Radio Song'.
(the other obvious REM suggestion would be to remove 'Ignoreland' from Automatic For The People, however in this case the obvious suggestion is WRONG as 'Ignoreland' is great and I LIKE the fact that it doesn't really fit with the rest of the album, so there)
― soref, Wednesday, 17 August 2016 01:39 (seven years ago) link
and I generally like REM in goofy, poppy mode! love 'Can't Get There From Here', 'Stand', 'Shiny Happy People' etc - but they seemed to fumble it with 'Radio Song'.

I think "Mother" on Synchronicity ownz this thread.― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Monday, August 11, 2003 2:09 PM
Albums you can't listen to because you hate one song on it so much
I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Synchronicity. You can't even enjoy Side 1 because you know that "Mother" is just around the corner, waiting to pounce on ya.― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, October 28, 2003 12:21 AM

Synchronicity is such a great album that I can enjoy it, even with 'Mother.' But, jeez, they tried damn hard to screw it up.
'Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts' is quintessential Blood on the Tracks. I can't only not imagine the album without it, I'd venture to say it would be worse off with its absence.
