The Song(s) You Always Skip

Octahedron

As the album concept seems to be dying... those of us who still buy/listen to albums (mostly!) list the...

- Artist

- Album

...and which songs you skip every time! 

At the moment I am skipping

"Rock the Blues Away" by AC/DC on the Rock or Bust album! Because it's just... not that good. It sounds like a poor demo version of "Anything Goes" from the Black Ice album

Beatles - Revolver - (you guessed it...) Yellow Submarine

Oasis - Morning Glory - Hey Now

Grunfeld

Jethro Tull, "Thick as a Brick"

The instrumentals on DSOTM.

The first track on Technique by New Order...think it's called Fine Time. Just doesn't fit with the rest of the album, IMO.

GnR - Appetite For Destruction. I always skip, yes you guessed it, Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City.

I usually skip Mysterious Ways by U2, be it on Achtung Baby itself or a live DVD..just an icky song for me.

Have to agree with both of these! also Joey by Bob Dylan (Desire Album) goes on for about 8 mins and is painful.

I usually skip U2, be it on the car radio, TV, Internet or implanted on my iPhone...


Radiohead - The Bends

Track 1 - Planet Telex

Shite opener that could be enough to put you off the whole album.

The Walk of Life - on Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms.

A truly dreadful song.

Deadman

Damned Damned Damned (by The Damned!)
Stab yor back.
Hate it. Always have, always will. Sorry Rat.

Pretty much any tune on a (Peter Green era) Fleetwood Mac album featuring Jeremy Spencer as lead. Especially the live stuff.

Led Zep II - Moby Dick.

It's a lovely drum solo, I just don't care.

Same hear, and also I tend to fast forward through the whale sex bit in Whole Lotta Love.

Different reason but I usually skip "Me and a Gun" from Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes. Not because it's rubbish but it makes me weep.

@Iamnobody - Good call on Planet Telex, it put me off the album for ages, that song did.

@stickyfiddle - Good call on Moby Dick. A great riff wasted, IMO!

@not_the_dj - Good call on the "whale noises" part of Whole Lotta Love. Just no need, was there?

 I always thought Elmore James covers were possibly the most pointless exercise in history. The JS bits ruin the early Mac albums flow big time!

I like Whale Sex Songs.

@Iamnobody What!? Planet Telex is amazing. There isn't a ad track on The Bends. Crazy time.

gusman2x

Easy, any Lou Barlow songs on any Dinosaur Jr albums. Ruins them.

James Taylor - Hourglass - Yellow & Rose

Possibly the only James Taylor song I don't like

I've been known to to whiz through Money until the solos starts.

Cirrus

No way could you skip through Any Colour you Like - it's awesome!

I do get bored of Money though.

I don't think I can point the finger at any tracks in particular. It really depends on my mood! Sometimes I'll start an album and skip through them all! Sometimes the track I barely care for hits me just right.
