The worst might be "Lady".

The only two songs that are listenable are "Sail Away" & "Renegade". Everything else can be on this list.

I like Hot for Teacher but I could take or leave most of the 1984 album.

Welcome, Curious Hair! Welcome to greatness!

Um, I think it's more famous for the finale of one of the greatest shows ever than some A.J. Pierzynski clubhouse bullshit from a team most people forget to name on the Sporcle quiz.

I've always liked Van Halen. I listened to the Loop all through high school; you think I wasn't absorbing copious amounts of the Halen? especially on Twofer Tuesday??? Cut me some slack, Jack.

Woah. Wait a minute! Are you telling me that people outside of Chicago don't think that the 2005 Chicago "Southside Tough" White Sox aren't the most important thing in history?

The recurring themes of this thread are: early songs/band members seem more liked, even quality songs can be overplayed to the point of exhaustion, and finally, to each his own!

Freddie was the goods.

Not denying Mercury's talent, because he had plenty of that- his voice just isn't my cup of tea. The overexposure of this song factors in (albeit minimally)- but the deal breaker for me is whatever that is happening between 0:00 - :56 and 3:09 - 4:13 of the song.

I don't mind the Elton John/Axl Rose rendition at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, but wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it either.

Smart choice. As much as I like Roth era Van Halen, there is some terrible filler on the albums themselves. That said, Diver Down is a grossly underrated album as a whole.

Any journey. Any reo after "tuna fish". Any janis joplin. Most "classic rock" that started the genre is never heard anymore in favor of newer "classics." Aside from satellite radio when do you evrr hear chicago 25 or 6 to 4 or make me smile? How about funeral for a friend by elton john. Or green eyed lady by sugarloaf? These were the original classic rock tunes we all learned to hate long ago.

For the record, Pulp Fiction and Shawshank were far better than Forrest Gump. That damn movie is unwatchable now.

In fact, of the 5 nominees (Gump, Shawshank, Pulp Fiction, Quiz Show, and Four Weddings and a Funeral), Gump is 4th best behind Pulp Fiction (1a), Shawshank (1b), and Quiz Show. Four Weddings only got nominated because there are too many douchebag Anglofiles out there.

These sound like the songs the Drive would play three times a day. I remember listening to the entire Girl From Buckhannon suite on the Drive one morning in high school, when I was a TA for the music department 1st hour and just napped, did homework, or didn't come to school till 8:30.

25 or 6 to 4 was played by every high school and college band in America for 20 years. I believe it was a law until the Supreme Court overruled it in 2002.

No

Everything they did prior to Darkside of the Moon is tied for worst.

You're high. Shut up. While pre-prismatic Floyd was prone to overdoing it and making ponderous, turgid, noodling crap, there are gems in that part of the catalogue. Allow me to name them:

Interstellar Overdrive
Lucifer Sam (the Mountain Goats used this as their entrance music when I saw them at the Vic last October)
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Green Is the Colour
Cymbaline
Summer '68
One of These Days
Fearless
Echoes
The Gold It's in the...
Wot's...uh, the Deal?
Stay

"Wot's...uh, the Deal?" is especially wonderful. One of my favorite Floyd songs ever. If it isn't among other people's, it's only because they don't know Obscured by Clouds exists. It's beautiful.

I'm not high...but I am a little drunk. I do like Interstellar Overdrive and Echos, though.

never seen the word turgid used except for describing some bad 70s prog rock.
