There’s a pair of Beatles albums in this list. I don’t mind “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” or “Revolution 9,” but “Tomorrow Never Knows” on Revolver counts for me. Frankly, it’s the worst Beatles song. I prefer the Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair cover of it on It’s Spooky to the Beatles version. It’s just that bad.
I almost never skip songs on albums, but Panda Eyes & DatPhoria - Keep Going ruins Panda Eyes’ KIKO album IMO. The verses and drops were clearly written by two different people, but it sounds like they never heard each other’s parts. Like they were glued together from separate songs.
the song astrud gilberto does with her kid on beach samba ruins what is otherwise a perfect album
Couldn’t agree more, that tune is cringe-inducing. A perfect example of the rule that your kids are always cuter to you than to anyone else.
To me, “Parade” on that album is also a turkey.
parade grew on me. i love the marching drums and its such a fun little ditty
Pretty fly for a white guy. It’s not really a bad song, but it was really overused in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Americana is a great album, but every time Pretty fly starts playing it ruins it for me.
I came here to say the same. It isn’t bad but it doesn’t mix up well with the rest…
Why don’t you get a job. Ugh
Original Prankster was similar on the next album. Like their label at the time forced one commercial track for a single on them.
Turnstile - Blue By You from the album Nonstop Feeling. It’s such a good hardcore album with a little bit of alt feel to it but that song sounds like a bop from the 60s in the worst possible way lol it’s like if the Beatles tried to make a hardcore song with clean vocals
For me it is Jewels N’ Drugs on Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP album. I skip it every time.
Friends is one of my favorite Beach Boys albums, but Anna Lee the Healer just rubs me the wrong way. Instant skip
Escape from Metallica’s Ride The Lightning. It doesn’t ruin the album but it stains a masterpiece for sure. The band hates that song as well because they wrote it last minute to appease their record label.
That’s interesting, I never knew the story behind that song. Personally I always liked it but I like just about every Metallica song.

I don’t think it ruins the album, but Oh, Daddy on Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors is kind of the only stinker on there. It would have been better with Silver Springs instead I think.
Nirvana fans will dox and harass me for this, but “Underneath the Bridge” on Nevermind.
Album’s just one absolute banger after another, and then it finishes with a song that sounds like someone wrote in 5 minutes while hungover at a music festival.
(But then I suppose it redeems itself with “Nameless Shameless,” if you count that one, so at least it doesn’t end in disappointment)

I mean… It is Nirvana. There’s a very good chance that is exactly what happened.
Also: you got the name of the song right? I grabbed my disc to listen to it since I don’t remember that one and there is literally no song with that name on the album. Not even the deluxe edition or remastered edition on Spotify have a song called “Underneath the Bridge.”
Did you mean “Something in the Way?” It has those words as part of the lyrics. It’s one of my favorites off that album. lol
Something in the Way is literally a highlight of Nevermind, but I can’t think of any other Nirvana song that has “Underneath the bridge” in the lyrics.
I think they do mean Something in the Way - and I find it an oddly comforting listen.
I did mean “Something in the Way.” Funny, I haven’t looked at the names of the songs for a long time, and my mind played a trick on me
Totally relate.
I still can’t help but think that a particular song about Link from Legend of Zelda really was made by System of a Down due to all the kazaa/limewire/Napster uploads crediting it to them back in the day 🤣
This is how all those Mandela Effect stories begin lol
Probs thinking of Red Hot Chili Pepper brain crosswire.
Boooo! Hisss! It’s chill and mellow. I think it is a great counterpoint on the album!
I wish I could feel the same. I tried to like it, I wanted to like it
It’s probably the most authentic Kurt on the record if we’re being real. Depressed, dejected and broken down

Lyrically yes, sonically not as much. The music captures his overall mood much better than the angrier sounding songs. Man had tremendously horrible IBS and a heroin addiction, sure he was angry but how much more often was he just absolutely in the dumps?
Yes, and I think I’ve made it clear that I don’t think the song adequately conveys that. I could expand on this, but I’ve already stated my opinion of the song, which hasn’t changed one iota, so I will choose not to engage.
I’m just going to join the dogpiling on you about incorrect song names lol
It’s “Endless, Nameless”, not Nameless Shameless
GOD DAMN IT ZFSSJJCSAADAHKMHDX
I love being able to stream, but I think now and then I should still PICK UP THE RECORD AND READ IT
Scary how memories are so elusive. I wonder what else I think I remember that is false lmao
I love Dragonforce’s entire discography, with one massive exception in that Evil Dead is horrible beyond words.
TIL Dragonforce did a cover of Death
Revolution 9, as was often joked about on beatlescirclejerk in the other place.
i love that song
Number 9, number 9, number 9!
Good Riddance (The Time of Your Life) is a blemish on an otherwise perfect Nimrod
I usually just skip that song. Album is no longer ruined 😉
Although Twilight by Anderson Paak is particularly annoying.
Wouldn’t go so far as to say it “ruins” the album, but “Shakermaker” is quite a letdown compared to the rest of “Definitely Maybe”.
