I agree with that except for Mama You've Been on My Mind on the 1975 live album. Other than that, screwing her over was the best thing he ever did. What did you think of her on No Direction Home? I thought it was obvious she still wasn't over him.

Honestly, I thought she ruined the whole special, Blech.

I've been meaning to start a thread voicing my displeasure about the second half of the doc as well.

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.


My freshman year of college I was listening to Pleased to Meet Me, this came on and a girl hanging out at our apartment asked me if it was The Hooters.

My votes go to
Party for Your Right to Fight- PE
Skypager- A Tribe Called Quest
Everybody Hurts- REM

The Knack : "Africa" ( the badly dated keyboards in particular...sounds like a Ramada Inn lounge band circa 1979 )

KISS : "Bang Bang You" ( every bit as bad as the title...the absolute nadir of their career )

"The Ledge" is a great choice for the Mats...and I'd add that it was probably the first time PW started believing the "Westerberg is a GREAT songwriter" hype. Which is kinda like what Radcliffe said, but from a different angle.

Hum - "Baby, Baby"

Just the antithesis of what I think a Hum song should be. Slow, no build up, boring. And its a little too literal of a title.

The 77s - "Gravy Chain" (If I heard this song first, there's no way I would have listened to another song by them.)

Portishead - "Half Day Closing" (I hated it the first time I heard it and I still haven't warmed up to it.)

The Beatles - "Yellow Submarine" (Holy shit, this is shitty.)

Automatic by The Dismemberment Plan. Fucks up the flow of the album. Another song that does that by a group I used to really like before the new album is This Town by Hot Hot Heat.

I can't really think of any others.

The Who "Squeezebox" say no more!
David Bowie "1984" from the theme from Shaft intro through the wailing zombie background vocals to the tinkling synth outro
Elis Costello " A Good Year For The Roses"
Iggy Pop "Real Wild Child" sounds like a contactual obligation single
John Lennon "Oh Yoko" yucko
REM "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville"
Rolling Stones the entire "Voodoo Lounge album
U2 "Lemon" WHAT!
Bob Marley "Buffalo Soldier" I can't explain it

Because it represents in my mind one of the first, and worst, cloying attempts at pandering to "the kids" by Mick. Most of the Stones stuff, even the pop of Between the Buttons, and a lot of "Their Satanic Majesties" has a timelss feel to it, and this song is so rooted in the 60s it makes me want to vomit.

Plus, it is boring, and overplayed to boot.

That's gotta be a good stat... How Many AC/DC Songs Reference Male Genitalia?

I'm thinking it hovers somewhere around 200.

you sound like my wife.

Me: "'Squeeze my lemon, till the juice runs down my leg, Squeeze it so hard I fall right out of bed' isn't about lemons, baby."
Her: "Ok, fine, but 'I wanna be your backdoor man' isn't about anal sex."
Me: "Believe what you want."

It's got to be a high percentage. Their last two releases were titled "Ballbreaker" and "Stiff Upper Lip." Here are songs from each, granted they're not all about male genitalia, some are just about sex:

Ballbreaker:
Hard as a Rock
Love Bomb
Caught with Your Pants Down
Whiskey on the Rocks
Cover You in Oil
Ballbreaker

Stiff Upper Lip:
Stiff Upper Lip
Come and Get It
All Screwed Up
Give It Up

Like most of Tommy, if you take it out its context, the songs lose a lot. I don't mind "Fiddle About", and I love "Tommy's Holiday Camp".

I like this one, as I do all of the Bon Scott stuff. It's wonderfully goofy, which is the point.

I saw a stripper dance to "The Jack" once.
