Some albums are essential or just very good to our taste, but still contains one awful track.
Best example for this (All imo of course)
Blood Tears-Nightfall in Middle Earth, Blind Guardian (The only song I do not like from NIME, drags on and on, cut off the hand already!)
The Grand Conjuration-Opeth, Ghost Reveries (If the heavily edited nonsensical video didn't kill what was my favourite track off GR, now Ghost Of Perdition.)
Revoloution No 9-Beatles, white album (There is a reason though)

Smart of you to tack that onto your way-too-long signature before posting this one, right?  |

Little James, actually for years I hated it with a vengeance, but I find it OK now.

I Can See A Liar, Put Yer Money... and Little James ruin that album. If taken a bit more time, added Let's All Make Believe on it it would be a great album. Same can be said for Dig Out Your Soul.
But I agree with Aussie on Revolution 9 - White Album. No wonder George Martin and Paul McCartney were mad at such shite being put on that album, along with another Lennon number Bungalow Bill.
Never been that keen on Bye Bye Badman on The Stone Roses, Daylight by Coldplay on A Rush of Blood To The Head. Not awful songs, just drag a bit for me.

Again my opinions have changed over the years. With repeated listens, Revolution 9, obviously never conceived by Lennon as a 'song', has become in my opinion a decent, interesting sound collage patterned after Stockhausen, and Frank Zappa's groundbreaking work on his debut LP Freak Out.
If anything George's woeful Piggies, leaden Savoy Truffle, and McCartney's milquetoast offerings like Honey Pie and Rocky Racoon drag that LP down, Bungalow Bill is a load of old drek too, mind.

I'll add my name to Revolution 9 - one of my favourite albums ever but that is self-indulgent, aimless tosh typical of Lennon around that period. Had absolutely no place with The Beatles and should've been kept for Two Virgins or some other nonsense he was putting out under his and Yoko's name at the time.

I love Revolution 9 actually. Its not a song, but an interesting experiment. It fits the album to me, and I think you need to listen to the track alone in the dark in the middle of the night to appreciate it. I can see why people dont like it but its one of the most interesting pieces the Beatles have ever produced.

Electioneering on Ok Computer. I used to like the song, but now it sounds so plain compared to the rest of the album.

Digsy's Dinner on DM... i really can't stand it Little James on SOTSOG, which in my opinion is the worst Gallagher-related song oh, and Seamus on Meddle by Pink Floyd, really hate that!  |

Generally there is one track per Oasis album that I really could do without.
DM - maybe Shakermaker.
MG - Hey Now
BHN - MP
SOTSOG - LJ
HC - AQP
DBTT - KTDA
DOYS - The Last 4 tracks.
I don't really get White Limo off of Wasting Light by the Foo Fighters. The song isn't terrible, but it doesn't mesh with the album at all. Kinda random.

I love The Beatles, listen to them daily at some point, but that album was a grouping of a bunch of outtakes basically. They gave a big F-U to the music industry with that one. I love a handful of those tunes, but lets not get carried away thinking it was some kind of imaginative, creative experiment in sound collage. Crap by any other name is still crap! |

No, it's not the "perfect" album and there are a few duds, but I find it to be an absolutely fascinating and exciting listen. And, for the record, I also think Revolution #9 is absolute garbage. |

Another one I thought of:
Heart's on Fire-John Farnham (Sometimes even I as a fan want to give John a punch in the face, not often though.)

It just gets old when people think that The Beatles are infallible.  |

I guess I would say Don't Stop on the Stone Roses debut just because I think it is deliberate nonsense and every other song on that album is top notch. And also Breakout off of Foo Fighters' There Is Nothing Left to Lose. That album is amazing to me and every song is great apart from that, and that's still not awful, just not great.  |

Used to think the same about Don't Stop, but it grew on me - it has a subtle quality to it that sets it apart from Waterfall and the other backward tracks (which are mostly useless). Definitely the worst track on TSR though. As for the White Album, I think it's overrated and the worst out of the later Beatles albums...I actually like Honey Pie and Bungalow Bill (While My Guitar...is a masterpiece), but too many of the songs are fillers to me. Not a bad album though, of course. |

Rocky Racoon is amazing and Bungalow Bill's verses are fucking beautiful. and George's songs are a big fuck off to the industry, yeah (to whoever said that) - so whats not to love? good songs. |

Hit the Plane Down-Pavement (Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain)
That's probably the most obvious one for me. Pavement are probably my second favorite band after Oasis and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is probably my second favorite album ever after DM/MG, but it's not one of those songs I go out of my way to listen to.

I'm tempted to say Blur's Girls and Boys from Parklife. I can see why people think it's catchy, but it was one of the first Blur tunes I heard and I hated it. I couldn't believe that some people thought this nonsense along with Country House was worthy of rivalling tunes like Live Forever and Common People during Britpop. First impressions can be deceptive though, and thank god that I gave them a proper listen to.
Nowadays, I realise it's just idiots who think these are two of Blur's finest tunes. Girls and Boys doesn't even fit with the concept of Parklife either.

I love Get behind me Satan from the white stripes but cant stand Red Rain. |

Exactly what I always thought Although it's obviously not an awful song, it's still not as good as you would expect a big single by a great band to be. |
