Great albums and skippers.

This is a pretty good post that will be a good thread if it doesn't degenerate into which Radiohead song/album is the coolest/sucks the most.

The Beatles: White Album -- Wild Honey Pie, Don't Pass Me By, Julia
Talking Heads: Remain in Light --Listening Wind and The Overload

I'll probably post again with more once I think of some.

You beat me to the punch with the White Album, but you totally blew it with the selections. <font color="red"> Easily the biggest Skipper of all time, without a close second, is Revolution 9.</font> "number 9, number 9, number 9....". It's so bad I don't think I listened to the last track, Good Night, but a few times of the hundreds I've listened to the album.

BTW, this is probably my top collectable album, since its the white vinyl edition. Nice.

You are incredibly right. Dammit, how'd I miss that? Either way I stand firm that the ones I did list are indeed legitimate skippers.

I'll choose OK Computer as my example. (This is also the reason why OK Computer is inferior to the Bends and Kid A.)

Dude, this is total BS. OK Computer is the greatest Radiohead album *ever*. If you can't understand this, then you're obviously a philistine.

- Let Down - a very aptly named track. Schlobby and boring. SKIP.

[/ QUOTE ] This is just wrong. Let down is one of the best songs Radiohead has ever done, perhaps my favorite. Obviously taste is a very subjective thing, but in a thread on Radiohead in OOT a while back Let Down was consistently mentioned as one of their top 10 songs, so you're obviously in the wrong here.

Fitter Happier - so what if it's basically just a skit. it's on the album and it's unlistenable. SKIP.

[/ QUOTE ]
This is like a 40 second track. But you're basically correct.

- Climbing up the Walls - Bleh. BRMC basically lifted this song note-for-note with 'Rifles', but actually made it good. SKIP.

[/ QUOTE ] Meh. It's not the finest on the album, I'll give you that.

[/ QUOTE ]

never "insult" a Radiohead album. The fans are insane.
Don't get me wrong, I love Radiohead but there are some people that would pay $1000 to eat Thom Yorke's loogies.

A lot of people would say "great gig in the sky" from DSOTM, but I disagree.

There are a lot of stupid people.


I guess my entry would be Fleetwood Mac's Rumors.

Great all the way through except for Oh Daddy. I never liked it. The only low point on the disc IMO.

[TheBlueMonster]

Illmatic by Nas. I always skip "Life's a Bitch"....but that's the only one cause the album is the [censored]

[Phoenix1010]

Good thread idea. I'll go with Notorious BIG, Ready to Die- Unbelievable. This is my least favorite Biggie song ever, and for some reason a lot of people cite it as one of their favorite songs. I just don't get it, it's incredibly weak, especially considering how amazing the rest of the album is. It really is the only weak link.

The Beatles were famous as being a band where you skipped the A side to get to the B side. McCartney dominated the A side with his happier, lovey stuff, and things got both weirder abd more relevant when you flipped over to the B side to hear the Lennon side, where the real meat was.

[kbfc]

A lot of people would be horribly wrong.

If there's any track on DSotM that you could argue for skipping, it would be 'Money'. You'd still be wrong, but not quite as much so...
