I was talking to a friend of mine and Modest Mouse came up and he said something to the effect of, "Yeah, I really like that ‘Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine’ song, f**king rocks, but everything else they did sucks… I bought the album anyway." And so, I got to thinking and a good 10% of my CD collection is probably exactly that way – LPs with one song I like and the rest sucks.
So, what CDs do you dudes (and dudettes) own that you bought for one awesome song, and the rest sucks? (List song.)
Here’s some I thought of:
Crash Test Dummies – God Shuffled His Feet (Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm)
Bush – Golden State (People That We Love)
Dave Matthews Band – Under The Table and Dreaming (Ants Marching)
Flickerstick – ____________?? (Beautiful)
Filter – Title Of Record (Best Things)
Gorillaz – Gorillaz (Clint Eastwood)
Hole – Celebrity Skin (Celebrity Skin)
New Order – GetReady (Turn My Way)
Incubus – Morning View (Wish You Were Here)
UPO – ___________?? (godless)
Placebo – Brick Shithouse (Every You, Every Me)
Soul Asylum – Let Your Dim Light Shine Down (Misery)
The Cure – Bloodflowers (Maybe Someday)
Tool – Undertow (Sober)
Violent Femmes – _________?? (blister In The Sun)July 15, 2002 at 6:44 pm #70473Nine Inch Nails – The Downward Spiral (Hurt)
My Morning Jacket/Songs Ohia Split EP (Translation)
OST Singles (Smashing Pumpkins Song Drown)July 15, 2002 at 8:09 pm #70474Varsity Blues Soundtrack (Fastball’s "Are You Ready for the Fallout")
Crash Test Dummies-God Shuffled his Feet (My Body, and maybe "Afternoons and Cofeespoons")
Mighty Mighty Bosstones-that one real big album with knock on wood (Rascal King)
I guess I buy for the big singles and like something else
July 15, 2002 at 8:28 pm #70475jesus and mary chain–automatic (head on). however, there are some other good songs on there. overall, though, the album is not that good.
i think that’s it. i don’t listen to the radio so i don’t really hear singles anymore. also, i probably would have sold an album like that back when i was broke but still had the need to buy cds.
July 16, 2002 at 12:27 am #70476rem :: monster (Crush With Eyeliner) * also the only rem album I have ever owned
Wax :: 13 Unlucky Numbers (California)
Morbid Angel :: Covenant (Nar Mattaru)
Tool :: Opiate (Sweat)
Mr. Bungle :: California (Ars Moriendi) – they will never top the self titled release. The Patton solo stuff is interesting though.
Melrose Place Soundtrack :: (Dino – Blah) <img>
I’m sure I’ll think of more…. <img>
July 16, 2002 at 10:37 am #70477I have to agree with NIN – Downward Spiral, although my track on there was Becoming.
The Singles Soundtrack was incredible though.
