Anyone who reads the drivel I spout knows I love The Rolling Stones. That said, I fucking HATE "Street Fighting Man."

Many, including Busty, love it.

So, I guess post a song you hate by your favorite artist, or artist you love.

I'll do another:

I cannot stand "Ballad of a Thin Man" by Bob Dylan

Replacements "The Ledge"

Always sounded like Westerberg trying to be a real songwriter by falling back on established cliches. It was my first inkling the Mats were going down.

Really? It's just so repetitive and unlike most of their other stuff.

Compared to the rest of the songs on Blood On The Tracks, Buckets of Rain always irritated me as a decidedly mediocre way to end an near-perfect album.

Also, I Know What I Know from Paul Simon's Graceland sends me screaming for the skip button right in the middle of some masterfully made music,

Funny, I just posted it as my favorite Who song in Max's thread. I love the "hard rock" section of that song.

I agree on Welcome to the Machine, though. Not Pink's best by any means...

Excellent call. This song is the only reason I ever hesitate when calling this my favorite Dylan album.

Bob Dylan - Romance in Durango

I'd rather listen to Buckets of Rain 10 times in a row than listen to Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts once.

I can tolerate both, and I dare say that, *given the right mood,* I can even enjoy both. Paul Simon, "I know what I know," however, has shrill, piercing backing vocals that make me want to puke.

I will never understand your hate for the Street Fighting Man. Still baffles me to this day.

Now this! Hate for the Thin Man as well? Jesus bubba did you not see Bobby killing that piano during that song on "No Direction Home?"

Ditto. Stones songs are so rarely this good... Your head is on backwards.

I love that song......

Andy, I'm with you on King of all the World. I ALWAYS skip that song.

Led Zep - Kasmir (just a turd on an otherwise perfect album)

With Dylan, I hate anything that Joan "Smelly" Baez defecates on. She somehow manages to ruin otherwise perfect Dylan live albums as a rule.
