The End
These are the only PJ songs in the entire catalog that I don’t like.
Just curious.I didn't mind it until I heard it live. What a shit show. Just 4 minutes of Ed going "Wayside, wayside letter, front side, wayside letter, box or a bag, potato wave" over and over. It's dumb. He doesn't know the lyrics and it just makes the whole song seem flubbed. Even if he did know the lyrics, at this point yes I think it is simply played out as a show closer. And if the point is for "Mike to melt my face off" (hate that expression, btw) then just let him solo the Banner after whatever song (not Ledbetter) closes the show.And speaking of things that have run their course concert wise, ending every first and second set of every show with Porch and RVM is played out as well. Dig the songs, but setlist structure has gotten very predictable. I realize that's not much to bitch about considering most bands play the same set every single night but I do miss those songs being in random places throughout the set, and I miss other songs closing out the early sets.
Back on topic...I omit b-sides from these kinds of lists (or at least the non-album tracks that weren't officially released). Yes, a song like Sweet Lew is pretty bad but it was somewhat of a "gift" when it was included on Lost Dogs (although I guess you did pay for it if you bought the album).0 -

I think the most recent songs problem is over produced
take Speed of Sound for example
the demo sounds so much betterPJ 2014: Leeds, Milton Keynes
PJ 2018: London 1, Padova, Roma, Prague, Krakow, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, London 2
EV 2017: Amsterdam 2&3, London 1&20 -

I honestly don't get the hate for Ole'. Sure, it's not their greatest song ever but it's not that bad.

Anyway, I'm a bigger fan than any of you folks (*sarcasm, in case you have the Sheldon Cooper problem)..Really, the only thing this band did that I truly don't like is Sirens (even the song title is bad, man).. All the rest varies from acceptable (just a couple of songs maybe) to good to really good to amazing/masterpiece. I think it's because I put things in perspective, Olé was a free thing just before the SA tour in 2011, Sweet Lew is where it belongs in a compilation of outtakes and stuff.. I appreciate 'em for what they are. Try to listen to the bass lines in Sweet Lew (especially the chorus), they're.. Well, sweet.0

I personally would really enjoy the fun of them using a basketball as an instrument, if only the vocals didn't make me cringe, haha.
But anyway, I just figure a bad song is a bad song. Whether it's on a studio album or on Lost Dogs or performed live only or is just on a holiday single, it makes no difference to me when considering whether or not I like it. But sure, the "importance" of the sentiment is affected by that factor.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful.
