Amazing albums with a garbage tune

Post by SchenkerFan »

My favourite CCR album is Cosmo's Factory. However, I absolutely loathe Ooby Dooby. What a sorry excuse for a song that is.

Me too. Shit, if you're gonna skip one, tap out of I'm Gonna Crawl, aka "we've got 5 minutes left to fill here"...

Hot Dog pains me. Page has shit tone and sounds like he's playing with oven mitts on.

That was one of the few Steve Riley contributions to the band's songwriting. He brought it over from his band the B'zz

Well it's a joke tune... that said, you could say that about his playing on the whole album. He was smacked out and Jonesy took over as musical director, and ITTOD was also the 1st time that he started dicking with that stupid fucking B-bender.

I personally like every song on KISS' Lick It Up album aside from the title track which I always thought sucked.

Why in the hell would you put a joke song as the 2nd track ? A b side or the last track…OK. It’s just a very stupid, poorly played attempt at a country song. I’ll never understand why they did it.

Good call. A totally pointless cover in the middle of a lot of fantastic tunes. There was no need for it.

I do not feel TOP is an amazing album. Although, Home Sweet Home proved to be a $olid track for them.
I love this record & the answer is "Fire". They had already released it twice at that point.
What about BATB makes it "garbage"? The riff kills, patented Malcolm & Mutt!

Okay let’s imagine that UYI2 is indeed an amazing album, I think My World is far worse than Get in the Ring

This becomes even more weird considering what they left off the album.

Replace Social Disease with Edge of A Broken Heart and Slippery When Wet becomes even more of a masterpiece.

It was the last song on the 1st side... remember, ITTOD was made when there were only albums, and albums had sides.
