    id like it if oceans wasnt on TEN
    on the cassette version (probably the vinyl version too, i don't have it), "Oceans" opens side two and it works very well.

    Star Me Kitten on Automatic for the People. It would fit on some of the post-Hi-Fi REM albums though. Too shimmery, if that's a word.

    I can totally see what you mean on that one although I wouldn't say it ruins it - I guess all the songs are pretty diverse on that record.
  • Like a Hurricane on Neil Young's American Stars 'n Bars. The rest of that album is basically a country album(Bite the Bullets kind of a rocker also), but Like a Hurricane really sticks out on that album.
  • Oceans is a song I grew to love, but for years I couldn't really get into it.

    never thought about it like that. makes sense.

    facepolution, I'm with you on Oceans. I love it now, but I remember when a friend telling me he really liked Oceans and me thinking "of all the songs on that album, that's the one you point out?" I never hated it, just thought it was ok.

    The point about it opening the second side of the album/cassette is a good one Muchmouth. It works well that way.

    That's another thing we've lost with cds and now mp3s, is the sides of albums/cassettes. I remember in high school talking to friends and saying the first side of "Ten" is fantastic.

    In reverse style: George Martin says his biggest regret is not including Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane on Sgt Peppers.

    How about on Meddle - "Seamus". Ugh.

    Good call above with "Mother" from Synchronicity. Its a funny tune, a la "Bugs", but I skip it more often than not.
