Albums with ONE absolute stinker of a track on them ?

Telejester

Led Zep live album song remains the same has a steaming turd on it.....moby dick, they could have chosen any other song rather than that snooze feast.

Which album has one stinker on it and name the song, I might check some out and report back.

Pretty much any album ever made?

Shall we go with Abbey Road - Octapus’s Garden?

D’yer forget about D’yer Mak’er? The rest of Houses of the Holy is superb

ICBM

Queen - The Game - Don't Try Suicide.

Ridiculously obvious musical steal from the Police's Walking On The Moon, with abysmal lyrics.

Hey, don't knock Octopus's Garden! What people always forget about the Beatles is that they wrote quite a few children's songs and OG is one of the best.

If you want a Beatles example mine would be Your Mother Should Know from Magical Mystery Tour.

I know I’m very probably in a minority here but I’ve never liked Houses much except for D’yer Maker.

Yeah but I'm talking songs that are pure shit, think Phil Collins you can't hurry love or anything by Leon Jackson quality.

The last track on Fun House by the Stooges isn't really a song at all, just them randomly attacking their instruments. I guess it's probably the ultimate nihilistic statement of the band but it's not much fun to listen to.

You are definitely on the minority I’d say.
Don’t you like No Quarter?

Mine would be either Maxwell's Silver Hammer or Bungalow Bill, but to be fair they're not *that* bad by any standards other than comparison to the rest of the Beatles' output.

I like Octopus's Garden too.

Stevies spanking, what a dog of a song.

James Taylor - Hourglass - superb album but I can't stand Yellow and Rose, it's the only JT track that makes me reach for the remote control to skip it.

D’yer Maker is the only song off it I listen to with any regularity. Over the Hills and Far Away I remember fondly. I generally have a love-hate thing going with Led Zep though, even the songs I like I usually feel should have been edited down.

De do do do de da da da by the police

Electric Ladyland - Little Miss Strange, the token Noel Redding song which always has me reaching for the skip button.

I'd say the same about She's So Fine on Axis: Bold As Love as well, but that also has the equally skippable spoof interview about aliens as the first track.

prowla

Whatever the album is that has "Lady In Red" on it!

prowla

"Wish Them Well" of Clockwork Angels is a duff track.

I think Rush agree, because I saw them on that tour and they didn't play that song.

The rest of the album is their best work since Moving Pictures.
