The Good, The Bad, The Worst and the Best

[Jon]

Pick your favorite band. I know that is hard. Just pick one of your favorite bands then post a Good song by them, a Bad song by them, their Worst song and their Best song. I know you love your band but they aren't perfect are they?


Come on... you can do it!

Mine...

Iron Maiden


Good- Still Life

[Brice]

I know you love your band but they aren't perfect are they?





Yes, or at least for me they were. I can't think of a single song I don't love.

The Beatles

The Good: Everyting they did.


Cool thread though. Perhaps I can do this with some of my lesser favorite bands.

[John_and_Yoko]

Yes, or at least for me they were. I can't think of a single song I don't love.

The Beatles

The Good: Everyting they did.

I've got The Beatles pretty high up there, but I take exception to your appraisal of their work.

Good: I am the Walrus

Bad: Love Me Do

The Worst: Yellow Submarine. HATE that! :angry:

The Best: All You Need is Love

[Girlystevedave]

I have to agree with Brice on this one. Green Day is my all time favorite band, and while there may be certain songs that aren't my favorite, I can't really name any that I don't like or that are "bad".
(I'm sure someone will jump in one this one and name they're own though....I'm just speaking for myself)

[Heather19]

Dave Matthews Band

Good - The Dreaming Tree
Bad - Stand Up
Worst - I Did It
Best - Ants Marching

[Jon]

I'll go with Disturbed for mine.

Good- Bound
Bad- Down with the Sickness
Worst- I'm Alive
Best- Sons of Plunder


OUCH!!

Your "bad" and "worst" are two of my favorites by them.:clap:

Wel, it's just my opinion, but I can't think of one song that I dislike by them.

Now that you mention it I can't name a single Green Day song that I dislike and I'm pretty sure I've heard them all. :couple:

[blackrose22]

Thin Lizzy
Found it really hard to pick a bad or worst song by Lizzy.

Good - Emerald
Bad - Some day shes going to hit back
Worst - S&M
Best - Still in love with you.

[Hallvard]

Manowar!

Good: Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in Eight Parts (who can resist 28.5 minutes of heavy metal awesomness?)

Bad: Warlord (boring song, plus lame sex scene in the beginning)

Best: Warriors of the World (first Manowar song I ever heard, amazingly awesome win with the power of a thousand anti-matter bombs)

Worst: The Warrior's Prayer (and old jerk talking to his son about the four riders of the Apocalypse - turns out it's the four members of Manowar)

[Mark]

I'll go with Disturbed for mine.

Good- Bound
Bad- Down with the Sickness
Worst- I'm Alive
Best- Sons of Plunder


OUCH!!

Your "bad" and "worst" are two of my favorites by them.:clap:

Where's Blacking Out the Friction from, did it get released on one of their albums?

[Jon]

Really? You don't like Mary Jane's Last Dance? I've never heard that one before.


i just don't like it. I am surprized you haven't heard that song. It was very popular...and it names my home state!

[Erin]

I meant...i've never heard anyone say they didn't like it. :lol:

[jayson]

I meant...i've never heard anyone say they didn't like it. :lol:

If it helps statistically, I don't care for that song either.

[goncho]

I will never be able to pick between Pearl Jam and Radiohead so I´ll just do both

(btw: I´ll never be able to pick a "best song" for those bands either, I´ll go with what I´m feeling at the moment)

Pearl Jam:

Good: Smile
Bad: Habit
Worst: Deep
Best: Immortality

Radiohead

Good:True Love Waits
Bad: Sulk (it´s bad to radiohead´s standards)
Worst: cannot decide if they have a worst song
Best: right now, for me, it´s How to Disappear Completely

[jayson]

tality

Radiohead

Good:True Love Waits
Bad: Sulk (it´s bad to radiohead´s standards)
Worst: cannot decide if they have a worst song
Best: right now, for me, it´s How to Disappear Completely

Good calls Goncho. I may as well do one for RH as they are my favorite existing band...

Good: Pyramid Song
Bad: Scatterbrain (it's not really "bad" it's just not as good as the other songs written around the same period)
Worst: Morning Bell [I despise this song. It is bo-ring and just does nothing for me]
Best: Lucky (always has been and always will be my favorite of their songs)

[Jon]

I meant...i've never heard anyone say they didn't like it. :lol:

Oh, I see. I understand it's attraction.

[goncho]

Worst: Morning Bell [I despise this song. It is bo-ring and just does nothing for me]


I got bored of the Kid A version, but the one in Amesiac really gets to me, I wished they played it live instead of the original

I was just glad they didn't play it at all when I saw them in May. They had played it when I saw them in 03 and it bored me to tears.

[Darkthoughts]

Mary Jane's Last Dance is one of my favourite Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers songs. Also Pearl Jam's Deep!!

Um, well - Led Zep are my gods but I don't think I have a worst...

Good: actually I can't pick just one good or best either - I'm torn between Since I've Been Loving You, Ramble On, Dancing Days, No Quarter, Bring It On Home, Battle Of Evermore...nope, I can't do it :lol:

[jayson]

Um, well - Led Zep are my gods but I don't think I have a worst...


I could suggest a fairly good number of choices from the albums after the first 6. Up to that point, it's all good. "How Many More Times" from album #1 would be my fav.

[Darkthoughts]

:o How bizarre! I was just listening to How Many More Times and thinking that i should have put that on my list!!

Yeah, after Physical Graffitti things went a bit down hill. I have Presence and everything else, but never listen to them - thats why I didn't think to include them.

They're like a completely different band after that point, one that sucked. I have the whole collection in my collection, but only the first 6 albums and the live stuff I have go on my iPod bc I won't listen to the rest of it.

[Woofer]

Pink Floyd

Good: Sheep
Bad: Scream Thy Last Scream
Worst: A New Machine (both pts)
Best: Wish You Were Here - the entire album :D

To quote Harlan Ellison when he found out PF was my favorite band: "Figures."

Good choices Woof. You've compelled me to do one for the Floyd...

Good: Wot's... Uh, the Deal
Bad: Anything after Roger Waters left the band.
Worst: I agree, "A New Machine" is just awful. That whole album is pointless and should have been released under Gilmour's name, not as PF.
Best: Echoes - this song was the beginning of a new era for the Floyd and set the stage for so much more.

Oooo, I like your choices, too. I adore Echoes. It's playing in my head right now. Thankee sai!

You're welcome. It's a great song to have stuck in your head. :)

[goncho]

Also Pearl Jam's Deep!!

ouch!...I truly hate that song! can´t stand it

[Matticus-Finch]

AFI!!

"...But Home in Nowhere" off the Sing the Sorrow Album. Pretty much the whole album rules.

Also Rabbits are Roadkill on Rt. 37 is a pretty righteous tune.

All of their stuff is so different it's hard to pick one song, but I'm into the later stuff these days so these are my choices!
