  • hmm

    House of Cards on In Rainbows
    Octet on Cryptograms
    Touched on Loveless
    I beat up the bathroom on Variations on swing

    • 15 step

      Not a big fan of that track. Amazing album though.

      • I too...

        ...am no big fan of 15 Step, but like the album.

        But oh boy...House of Cards? How can that possibly be the downer for anyone who likes that album? So beautiful.

        Actually, it's pretty cool that that difference happens...

        • this seems to have become a bit of classic marmite thing..

          it just.. plods.. doesn't it??

        • ah 15 step is awesome!

          i would have to say nude (awaits blasting) it weirds me out a bit when i hear it

          • yeah

            i can appreciate Nude as a song in its own right, but it doesn't fit the rest of In Rainbows at all. which is weird because that's the reason they gave for it not being on an earlier album...

      • I love 15 step!

        If Reckoner was to disappear that would be my track of the album.

        • Lose Reckoner? Sheer madness, that's the best song on it!

          Getting back on topic:
          Dog Man Star (Suede) - Daddy's Speeding
          Spirit of Eden (Talk Talk) - Wealth
          Loveless (My Bloody Valentine) - Loomer
          Mingus Ah Um (Charles Mingus) - Pussy Cat Dues
          Trout Mask Replica (Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band) - Hair Pie:Bake 1
          Let Love In (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) - Lay Me Low

          • Didn't MrScagdenSir mean Reckoner

            is the best track off In Rainbows?

            It soo obviously is

  • ummm

    sufjan stevens - illinois - jacksonville

  • In Limbo - Kid A

    Touched - Loveless
    Venus in Furs - The Velvet Underground & Nico

    • house of cards

      is my least favourite, although i quite like, it's too earnest or something. love 15 step, so creative.
      valet parking and crazy beat also my least favourites.
      arc of time on bright eyes digital ash is grating the way he sings "die, die, die". great album, though.

    • venus in furs

      is the best song they ever did!

  • Shirin

    on Night Falls Over Kortedala.

    • wrong

      it's glorious.

      Strange time in my life on the other hand..

      • Tough call but I'd say

        Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights
        Hands Away

        Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
        She Is Suffering

        My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
        Cupid Come

        The Jesus And Mary Chain - Psychocandy
        Something's Wrong

        The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
        Shoot You Down

  • Right now, I can only think of:

    Manics Street Preachers
    Album: Everything Must Go
    Track: Unremovables

    • hmmm

      Newark Wilder - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, Pavement
      So Here We Are - Silent Alarm, Bloc Party
      Apples - Fashionista Super Dance Troupe, Help She Can't Swim

    • None are particularly BAD tracks, just poor relations on their albums really

      Jeff Buckley- Grace
      Corpus Christi Carol

      Idlewild- 100 Broken Windows
      The Bronze Medal

      Frightened Rabbit- Midnight Organ Fight
      Keep Yourself Warm

      McLusky- The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire
      Lucky Jim

      Pulp- Different Class
      I Spy

      • Bronze Medal's ace.

        I'd pick Rusty off that album.

        • I don't dislike Bronze Medal to be fair

          But i prefer Rusty, just.

          • Rusty is probably one of my favorite tracks

            I'd probably say I Don't Have the Map is the weakest song on the album. Not at all bad but not as awesome as the others.

      • I Spy ?!!!!?

        That's the best track on Different Class.
        I'd lose Bar Italia instead.

        • It was between the two actually

          But I Spy just really irritates me in parts for some reason. Still love the album, and it hardly ruins it for me or anything.

  • The Smiths

    The Queen is Dead
    Vicar in a tutu

    :(

  • asdf

    trail of dead - source tags and codes - baudelaire

    more to come later.

  • okay

    No Age - Nouns
    Track : Keechie

    Muse - Absolution
    Track : Sing For Absolution

    Battles - Mirrored
    Track : Atlas

    Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing
    Track : Ribs Out

    I dont particularly hate any of the songs in question, I just feel they're not as strong as other tracks on that album.

    Good call on Crazy Beat too, that song was a disaster.

    • Atlas?

      Now you're just being silly!

      • as I said

        I dont hate any of the tracks.

        Atlas was the song that made me want to hear the album at first, and after listening to it I realised that Battles were really capable of doing much better things.

        Ddiamondd, Leyendecker, Tij and Rainbow are all vastly superior.

        I do think Atlas is okay though.

  • For me it'd have to be

    No Age - Nouns
    Track:Here Should Be My Home

    • fucking

      agony/agatha from reubens 'in nothing we trust'.

      AWFUL.

    • So

      ATDI - Relationship of Command: Rolodex Propaganda

      Suede - Dog Man Star: The Power

      The Cure - Bloodflowers: The Loudest Sound

      Constantines - Tournament of hearts: Lizaveta

      Bright Eyes - IWAIM: Old Soul Song

      • The Power

        is awesome!

        I would vote for...

        Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go: Further Away

        British Sea Power - Open Season: To Get To Sleep

        Although to be honest, these aren't even my favourite albums...I just think these tracks shouldn't have made the cut on the above. I tend to like all the songs on my favourite albums :\

      • :0

        old soul song?
        no way!

  • settle for nothing

    on rage's first album.

    its still a decent song but it really breaks up the album and doesn't fit in.

  • i can't understand

    how no-one's mentioned Fitter bleedin Happier

    • mine

      The Impossibles-Return
      This Is Fucking Tragic

      Ultimate Fakebook-This Will Be Laughing Week
      A Million Hearts

      Saves The Day-Through Being Cool
      The Vast Spoils Of America

      • a couple...

        Born To Run - Bruce
        Meeting Across The River (Just a bit nothingy really)

        In Rainbows - Rhead
        Bodysnatchers (I know, i know. Everyone loves it, but i think it starts off good then the middle nothing happens then it ends well. In general just doesnt go anywhere)

      • Battles - Mirrored

        Track: Bad Trails (just does nothing for me)

  • ...

    The Smiths - Meat is Murder
    Track: Meat is Murder

    I think I only listened to that track the first few times I stuck that particular album on. If I want to listen to bovine screams, Ill attend the opening of a new Primark.

  • Who Do You Think? off "Our Love To Admire"

    In form it is supreme pop though.

  • Fitter Happier

    in OK Computer

    really really pisses me off.
    So terrible.

  • Just a few

    My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
    Track: Touched

    TCTC - Kickup the Fire and Let the Flames Break Loose
    Track: Promises Promises (amazing single, doesn't work on the album)

    Ryan Adams - 29
    Track: The Sadness

    Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress
    Track: Roy Walker
