What’s the worst song on your favorite album?

El_K

For me, Sunday Afternoon in the Park off Van Halen’s Fair Warning album

Joey

We talked about this on the pod. I through out Escape from Ride the Lightning only because James Hetfield hates it. I like it though

I don't have a favorite album, per se...it changes from week to week, sometimes day to day. My M.O. historically is to hear a song, buy the album, and the song that originally spurred me to buy the album becomes my least-favorite, due to over saturation, self-or-radio induced, and finding other great, less-popular songs on the album. I have gone decades not listening to very popular, Mt. Rushmore-level songs because of this, which drives my wife crazy when I turn the channel every time Stairway to Heaven or Smoke on the Water comes on. I will listen to every song on both of those albums, but not those, and many others as well...

WATBS, my album is Excitable Boy, and the song is Werewolves of London...It's a great song, but I just don't want to hear it anymore.

Great question, El K, a superb Friday night mind-fuck...

dark side of the moon - $$$$$$
not my favorite album but to me it is out of place

“I just wanna see his face” off Exile On Main Street.

Really the only non essential cut on the greatest rock LP ever recorded.

My favorite album changes all the time. I'll list a few that come to mind, without the album names since everyone probably knows them:

Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Junk Head
Long Hot Summer Night
Vampire Blues
Kinky Reggae

All albums that I listened to today.

SECDAWG

Shake a Leg.

Wasn’t any bad songs or really “worst” songs but probably worst for
Me on the awesome album of “Back in Black” by AC/DC

Dark side is one of my favorite albums. I do like money, but I agree it doesn't fit

Disagree. Jump was a great song.

Drop Dead Legs is the best song, of course, on the album.

You might as well jump off the Aurora bridge

Bad song that didn't belong

Well, I’ve got too much to live for and they put up a new jump fence.

Alas, I love a tasteful synthesizer on a rock record.

All of my love on In through the out door was great.

I like Im Gonna Crawl and Carouselambra (sp?) too.

Iron Gland off of AIC’s Dirt album is unnecessary to an otherwise perfect record

I don’t have a favorite album, but I can name a few songs that prevent an album from being “perfect,” as in every song is good. A couple examples:

“The Crunge” - Led Zeppelin “Houses of the Holy”
“Four Sticks” - Led Zeppelin “Led Zeppelin IV”

I am somewhat similar, especially those two songs, but I still always listen to parts of them.

For “Stairway to Heaven” I now always skip forward to at least when Bonzo joins in. Sometimes all the way to the setup of the guitar solo.

With “Smoke on the Water” I’ll listen from beginning until just after the music lead in into the second verse. There’s something about Ian Paice’s energy on drums that always sucks me in, especially on “Highway Star.”

Ian Paice is a powerhouse, and very underrated, IMO…

I always have to listen to Smoke on the Water for the FREE PUB.

I find with a lot of the most over played a million times on KZOK stuff, I can't listen to it in the car or with my ear buds, but putting the same tracks on the turntable and some good hi fi reinvigorates the stuff.

I hate Dark Side in the car, but on my stereo I still find it incredible engaging.

The synth is awful. Totally agree with Race.

And Hot For Teacher is the best song on that album. CHRIST!
