Using the Skip Button

edited July 2010 in The Porch
There are so many PJ tracks I love and 'best tracks' always get highlighted, but I was chatting with some mates at the Hyde Park gig the other day and we all named surprising 'least favourite' tracks causing a big argument! Anybody got any they often skip? Of the 'proper' songs (ie not the red dot one or stupid mop etc) I'd go for:

I'm Open
Around The Bend
All those Yesterdays
Parting ways
Help Help
1/2 Full
Speed of Sound
Hey Wang!... That's the worst hat I ever saw - looks good on you though!

    Every time you skip 'Speed Of Sound' I'm going to listen to it twice ;) Same goes for 'All Those Yesterdays'. Love them both...

    Rival & Evacuation are the two that I skip most often.

    Johnny Guitar, most of Riot Act except All or None, and Unemployable. Except if I am listening to the album. I listen to the whole thing.

    Here are my skippers from each album, I don't always skip these especially some albums which I find nearly perfect, but for the sake of this topic here you go:

    Ten: Why Go
    Vs. Daughter and Small Town
    Vitalogy: outside of the non-songs, Better Man, maybe...
    No Code: Mankind, that's a B-side at best. Not sure what song they cut was better, but could've done without.
    Yield: Pilate, hate that chorus, but like the rest of the song.
    Binaural: love the album, not the biggest Sleight of Hand fan usually skip it.
    Riot Act: hate Help Help, really the only PJ song I don't like.
    Pearl Jam: Marker in the Sand
    Backspacer: that Speed of Sound LOVE the demo. I have been skipping Just Breathe lately too, love it but I overplayed it.

    Lost Dogs: (Disc 1): Hitchhiker, Gremmie Out of Control and Whale Song
    (Disc 2): Sweet Lew (I have heard it live both time, not a good song at all) Brother instrumental, and usually Dead Man

    I always skipped Black. Not because it is overplayed, I just never liked, even before I knew it was popular.

    Oceans, Stupid Mop, Aye Davinta (I know you said those don't count), Who You Are, The Red Dot (I know), I usually don't listen with headphones, so the Binaural tracks on Binaural get skipped. Everything on Riot Act gets skipped after Bushleaguer, Parachutes, Supersonic.

    You guys skip Mankind!?! Mankind is a great song.

    I just don't like the lyrics at all, it's just bizarre. Other than that though, No Code is my favorite album.

    I need to re-visit No Code. Love Hail Hail, Red Mosquito and Present Tense but the rest kind of passes by sometimes. But so many people seem to love it so I might have missed something - took me ages to get some of Vitalogy, now I love it.
