Great songs with a terrible section

It may not be Better Than "Good", though

I don’t hate it as much as some do but Jay Z’s spot in Kanye’s Monster almost brings the track to a screeching halt, it doesn’t help that the track itself is very long, editing his verse would probably make it better.

But then we’d lose this meme masterpiece of him just listing monsters:

this was incredible btw, exactly what I needed this AM

Also every Sugarcubes are ruined by Einar.

While I'm not necessarily an Einar hater, I gotta say that the chorus of "Hit" is so transcendent ("I lie in my bed / Totally still..."), and the Einar section so banal/irritating, that the song def. qualifies for this thread for me.

Heart of the Sunrise, at 6:52

Maybe, but it's sort of effective the way it plays off the main riff.
I first heard the song on the Classic Yes compilation, where they cut off the recapitulation of "We Have Heaven" at the end, and it's never sounded right to me the way it is on Fragile.

Yeah not really sure what part you’re referring to, that game show like keyboard bit?

oh, you know, you wind up in all kinds of places when you're lost in the city.

second post OTM, that j cole verse has one of the worst lines in rap history

sort of an inversion of the OP and a jump off of the second post but jeremih - i think of you is a song with only one great section, the first minute is amazing until the guests totally ruin in

I like that part in Heart of the Sunrise but yeah its kinda corny and weird
