Shouldn't it be "Songbird"? That's the dud one for me.

This isn't a bad song at all but it's the only song on this stupendous double album that smacks, just ever so faintly, of filler. It was perfect already but removing this song would push it over the top into transcendence, probably.

Heresy! And it's called "We Will Fall." This song is pure evil. Play it at -8 sometime and get back to me.
Also, delete "Old Man" from Love's Forever Changes and make me a happy camper.

Perhaps to the hundred million folks in India, but I've got my problems with it.
Yes, it's nice thoughts and allYes, it's quaisi-authentic musicallyBut what, just what, does it represent in the Sgt. Pepper context?
Let's just say that when I get to hell that'll be the appropriate log-in music.

I really can't stand "Rio". I mean, REALLYREALLYREALLY can't stand "Rio". But the damn album's NAMED Rio and doesn't really work with any other title, so... crap. Maybe if they substituted "Rio Pt. 2", featuring a lengthy keyboard-centric instrumental, the album would be a LOT better than it already is.
More recently, I think The Wedding Album would've been #2 in my list of favorite albums of all time had "Shotgun" and "UMF" been replaced by "Fallen Angel" and "Time for Temptation", two b-sides from that era. No, wait -- had that happened, it would've been my FAVORITE album overall. Hm. I think I sense a CD burning project. ;)

Ornette's Town Hall 1962 is pretty much perfect (and the equal of any of his Atlantic LPs) if you lose "Dedication to Poets and Writers"

take "single file" off the elliott smith s/t. it's not awful by any means but it doesn't live up to the rest of the album

“Deeper Understanding” should have been omitted from The Sensual World
“Stay Away” from Nevermind (even though I really like the guitar melting with Cobain’s voice on the refrain; “Even in His Youth” should have taken its place)

“My Little Problem” from All Shook Down is corny AF. It wouldn’t be a Replacements album without something self-consciously anti-earnest, but I don’t like this one.

I still skip 'The New Stone Age' from Architecture & Morality, I don't really dislike the song, it just sounds so terrible, the horrible, out-of-tune guitars mostly.
It does have a brilliant outro though, so I will skip/rewind and listen to that bit.
