Pretty fly for a white guy. It’s not really a bad song, but it was really overused in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Americana is a great album, but every time Pretty fly starts playing it ruins it for me.

I came here to say the same. It isn’t bad but it doesn’t mix up well with the rest…

Boooo! Hisss! It’s chill and mellow. I think it is a great counterpoint on the album!

It’s probably the most authentic Kurt on the record if we’re being real. Depressed, dejected and broken down

Lyrically yes, sonically not as much. The music captures his overall mood much better than the angrier sounding songs. Man had tremendously horrible IBS and a heroin addiction, sure he was angry but how much more often was he just absolutely in the dumps?
Yes, and I think I’ve made it clear that I don’t think the song adequately conveys that. I could expand on this, but I’ve already stated my opinion of the song, which hasn’t changed one iota, so I will choose not to engage.
I’m just going to join the dogpiling on you about incorrect song names lol
It’s “Endless, Nameless”, not Nameless Shameless
GOD DAMN IT ZFSSJJCSAADAHKMHDX
I love being able to stream, but I think now and then I should still PICK UP THE RECORD AND READ IT
Scary how memories are so elusive. I wonder what else I think I remember that is false lmao
All Star on Smash Mouth’s Astro Lounge
fush yu mang is also a great album
Waste is a great song
I can’t believe I’m saying this, somehow I never even gave Astro Lounge a fair shake. I grossly misremembered the song quality, there are some pretty good tracks on there. It’s got some cheesy gimmicks, even so it’s worth giving a listen or two at least.
It’s kinda campy. I like that about smash mouth. Fallen Horses though, that’s a great track. Genuinely good listening.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I never even gave Astro Lounge a fair shake. I’m listening to it again and I’m surprised by how badly I misremembered the song quality
This is exactly what I came to say. Thank you for having taste
Escape from Metallica’s Ride The Lightning. It doesn’t ruin the album but it stains a masterpiece for sure. The band hates that song as well because they wrote it last minute to appease their record label.
That’s interesting, I never knew the story behind that song. Personally I always liked it but I like just about every Metallica song.
I mean in the end it’s still a song written by peak Metallica. Kinda hard to dislike it wholly.
Ticks and Leeches off of Lateralus by Tool. It’s not even a bad song but the aggression ruins the flow of the album and sticks out like a sore toe.
I disliked it for a long time. Now I kinda like it. Reminds me of Jambi.
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer on Abbey Road. One of the few songs I skip while listening to an album!
I like Maxwell’s Silverhammer :)
The world is full of things more bizarre and inexplicbale than we could ever imagine, and I thank you for reminding me of that this morning.
Revolution 9, as was often joked about on beatlescirclejerk in the other place.
i love that song
Number 9, number 9, number 9!
I usually just skip that song. Album is no longer ruined 😉
Although Twilight by Anderson Paak is particularly annoying.
For me it is Jewels N’ Drugs on Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP album. I skip it every time.
There’s a pair of Beatles albums in this list. I don’t mind “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” or “Revolution 9,” but “Tomorrow Never Knows” on Revolver counts for me. Frankly, it’s the worst Beatles song. I prefer the Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair cover of it on It’s Spooky to the Beatles version. It’s just that bad.
Good Riddance (The Time of Your Life) is a blemish on an otherwise perfect Nimrod
Any Chvrches song where one of the other members is singing (not sure who it is).
I think there’s at least one on every album they’ve made, and it’s always an immediate skip for me.
It’s Martin. I like 'em but I get it. He’s singing in their latest single Manhattan, and except his song on Screen Violence (or love is dead lol I forget) I mostly skip them as well.
I don’t think it ruins the album, but Oh, Daddy on Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors is kind of the only stinker on there. It would have been better with Silver Springs instead I think.
I almost never skip songs on albums, but Panda Eyes & DatPhoria - Keep Going ruins Panda Eyes’ KIKO album IMO. The verses and drops were clearly written by two different people, but it sounds like they never heard each other’s parts. Like they were glued together from separate songs.
Off the top of my head, “Benny the Bouncer” on Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery. It should have been a B-Side of a single or something like that but it does not work on that album at all. For me, it’s just a goofy unneeded intermission before “Karn Evil 9” that I always skip.
