Faith/Void on Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle. Terrible’s pushing it, but it’s a repetitive plodder and a pretty crap ending.

Take that to the ‘Songs You Didn’t Know Were Covers’ thread.

You’re right though - there’s no reason to realise that they are covers which is a tribute to how well worked out the concept and sound of the albums is and how well chosen those songs are.

I actually really don’t like Only Love Can Break Your Heart. Worst song on After the Goldrush

Welfare Mothers on Rust Never Sleeps - spoils what would otherwise be a contender for Young’s best album.

Weirdly I was thinking of starting a thread about covers you have grown to appreciate and cite that as one of them. Absolutely hated it when I first heard it because I always felt like the keyboard line was the most important hook but now I like the Massive Attack version.

Revolver - Good Day Sunshine

Brian Eno - Backwater’ from ‘Before & After Science’

Always thought Eno must have been taking the piss getting Jaki Liebzeit to play such a rudimentary beat.

Roxy Music - ‘If It Takes All Night’ from ‘Country Life’

Jane’s Addiction - ‘Idiots Rule’ from ‘Nothing’s Shocking’

Album: Have One On Me
Artist: Joanna Newsom
Song: No Provenance

In yooouuuur arms, in your arrrrr - fuck off

Actually, the worst by a million miles is Start the Bus (feat. Kevin Barnes) off The Archandroid. Shove it on Mr Quality Control’s latest affront to The Past is a Grotesque Animal and it would be fine - shit, but fine.

Put it on GOAT contender, The Archandroid, and we’ve got serious problems.

Untitled 5 is shit

Pull/ Pulk Revolving Doors on Amnesiac. It’s a 30 second skit/ hidden track at best, not a full 4 minuter. and considering the stuff they had in the vault at that time, it’s even more annoying.

Just a reminder that that album has also got Octopus’s Garden on it.

Agreed. Normally love Shellac’s long, repetitive tracks.
But this one has about two / three minutes of good riffs in it and about 6 minutes of filler.
Always skip.

Is that song title a reference to the legendary split LP?
