I was just listening to Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and remembering how fantastic it is. I'd go so far as to say it is currently my favorite album by them. Papa Won't Leave You Henry and Loom of the Land are two of their best songs ever.

But Nick Cave apparently hates it.

It is widely known that Radiohead never liked Creep, and grew to hate it.


What are some other albums or songs which the artist who recorded it is known to hate?

pinkerton

Ry Cooder disowned Bop Till You Drop. I love it.

The Smiths dropped 'What Difference Does It Make' very quickly from their live set and it never saw the light of day again.

That's one of my favorite songs by them too.

Trent got very sarcastic about "Closer", promising the next album would be called Songs for Fratboys and Strippers (due to its popularity at frat parties and strip clubs), and only played the remix version when I saw him with Bowie.

Noel Gallagher stopped liking "Wonderwall" after he broke up with the girl who inspired the song in 2001.

Graham Parker dumps all over Heat Treatment in the reissue's liner notes. And he's wrong.

I don't think Gary Numan likes "Cars" anymore. He hates how its popularity overshadows all of his later work.

de la soul prefaced "me myself and I" with a disclaimer about how much they hated it the first time i saw them. i guess that, in the subsequent years, they got over it, as they never mentioned it the other few times i saw them perform.

Jagger hates "Between the Buttons"

"Oh, I HATE that fucking rec-ord"

Nooooo, his inability to write anything remotely decent is why its popularity overshadows all of his later work. Everything he released after Telekon is unlistenable rubbish.

I read in Rolliong Stone that Dave Grohl doesn't like the Foo Fighters last disc.

fp

did anyone?

That comment he made really pissed me off. Thanks for the offering then Dave, if you don't give a shit about it, why should we? And I actually thought it was better than the previous "effort".

and for what? ridiculous, the best thing he ever made and he'll dislike it and then put out bland ass shit like make believe.

Oh, that is so fucking wrong. Have you even heard "Absolution"? Quite possibly his greatest song ever. Starting somewhere around Metal Rhythm/New Anger onward, he developed a whole "second wind" of great songwriting, peaking with perhaps Exile.

And he still plays "Cars" in concert, so he can't hate it too much.

Does Beck still do Loser?

don't the Flaming Lips not like She Don't Use Jelly or something?

according to the Fearless Freaks they still hold that song in high regard. Wayne basically said that he was sure the Lips would be where they were today without that song (at least not on warner bros. according to their manager). They've played it every time i've seen them live.

yeah, they played it live every time i've seen them as well.

and it pissed me off that it was the ONLY song they played from before SB in every show i saw them.

Yes, I have, and New Anger was dreadful. Although my remarks were really directed towards his run from '81 - '90.

The Flaming Lips LOVED the success they had with She Don't Use Jelly. On the Beck tour, they had a special movie they made in dedication of it before playing it.

The big one:

R.E.M. - anything they ever wrote that was FUN. What a boring band they have become, the anti-Lips.

Lee Mavers hates the La's album.
Thinks that Steve Lillywhite overproduced the shit out of it.
IMO, it's one of the best records of the 90's.

But I guess Mavers is a bit of a Kevin Shields-like perfectionist/control freak. Makes me even more curious to see how this supposed La's reunion pans out.
