  • Ghost...i get nothing from that song...and its not a "weird" song, its upbeat, it has a solo...yet it just SUCKS

    Hitchhiker really is worse, but i don't think stuff on Lost Dogs should count

    oh, just remembered Gone...i never listen to that song, and when i do i'm reminded that it truly SUCKS

  • "Gone" does nothing for me either.

    I'm really surprised at the hatred for HItchiker. I really like that tune.

    and Evacuation has THE WORST 'chorus' of any PJ song IMO.
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Big Wave's lyrics are diabolical... IMO ;)

    Parachutes is fantastic :D

    Seriously, everyone must have a least favourite song!

    Last Kiss. I actually really dislike it . . . I ALWAYS skip it if it comes up.

    I'd rather hear Evacuation, Stupid Mop, Whale Song, Red Dot, Gremmie etc. than Last Kiss....

    PJ has made it's share of joke songs, but for me to be the worst, it has to be an attempt at a serious song that goes very awry! So, here are my all time least fav songs:

    Got Some (worst song ever by this band, IMO, cant stand it!)
    Ghost
    Get Right
    U (it makes sense that Eddie wrote this in like 10 minutes, its weak, and the way it drags on with Eddie somehow trying to make it interesting makes it only that much worse!)
    I hold the pain, release me!

    i remember Jones Beach 2000, they played Evacuation and there was a mass rush for the bathrooms and concession stands....and watching eddie scream "Evacuation!!! Evacuation!!!" as all these people ran away, i thought "Oh..I get it now!"

    maybe it was meant to be a piss break song...inside joke?

    Or maybe the band actually likes the song and likes playing it, despite what their moronic fans think?

    then they should play it alone in their rehearsal room

    The only reasons I can think of that someone would argue Sweet Lou or Pry, To are better songs than Black, Given to Fly, Betterman, Alive, Glorified G, etc are:
    1) To be a contrarian
    2) Because they disagree with the lyrical content of the song and can't get past that (i.e. Glorified G).

    I mean, I'm a huge basketball fan, but sweet lew is crap. Very happy that I got to see it (and rats) on halloween, but I hope I never see it again.

    i stayed in my seat...i'm just telling the story of how i noticed a lot of people evacuating the arena during that song...

    It's funny how people act like they are "cool" or "just like everyone else" for hating that song. It's an easy way to weed out the fans who are musically brian-dead, because they can't get past a 3-second chrous and enjoy the rest of the song.

    Woah, relax dude. No need to start taking shots at people because they don't like one single PJ song.

    By the way, Evacuation sucks.
