New game, this might have been done before. Which is the worst track on each Smiths/Morrissey album? You all know the ones you skip past...

The Smiths - Still Ill
Meat Is Murder - That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
The Queen Is Dead - Never Had No One Ever
Strangeways Here We Come - Death At One's Elbow
Viva Hate - Margaret On The Guillotine
Kill Uncle - The Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye
Your Arsenal - Tomorrow
Vauxhall & I - Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning

Maladjusted - Papa Jack
You Are The Quarry - America Is Not The World
Ringleader Of The Tormentors - I Will See You in Far-Off Places
Years Of Refusal - When Last I Spoke to Carol

Suprisingly easy to pick, The Smiths and Your Arsenal were toughest...

Your turn :)

Re: Worst song on each album...

Uuuuuuurgh, this is absolutely PAINFUL :lbf:

The Smiths - I Don't Owe You Anything I hated at first, and though it's been a massive grower it's still my least favorite in the long run!
Meat Is Murder - How Soon Is Now? This one wasn't hard at all!
The Queen Is Dead - Never Had No One Ever, I guess. On the other hand, THIS one was massively difficult.
Strangeways Here We Come - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me. Another hard one. :(
Viva Hate - Little Man, What Now? I guess. But I like that one!
Kill Uncle - Asian Rut, but even then I REALLY like it. It's the only song on the album I don't LOVE though, so it has to go!
Your Arsenal - Certain People I Know. I only mildly like this one. In its defense, the video is great. :lbf:
Vauxhall & I - The Lazy Sunbathers. No real opinion on this one.
Southpaw Grammar - The Operation, I don't have the patience to listen to the intro :lbf:
Maladjusted - He Cried maybe? Another hard one.
You Are The Quarry - All The Lazy Dykes, probably by virtue of it being the one I've listened to least. I don't know it as well, so I'm not tempted to madly defend it!
Ringleader Of The Tormentors - Okay, this is the hardest one so far. It doesn't have many songs I LOVE, but it's full of ones I REALLY like. Erhhhm, To Me You Are A Work Of Art? Only saying that because I was obsessed with it a few months ago and listened to it CONSTANTLY. It was so good it went back to mildly decent. You know what I'm saying?
Years Of Refusal - Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed. I dunno what's up with this song. I've probably talked about it before. By all means I SHOULD like it, but I just don't.

As I predicted! Massive pain. But in the long run... probably a LOT easier than picking my favorite song. Dissing 1 song is a lot easier than dissing, like, 10. :lbf:

Re: Worst song on each album...

Meat Is Murder: Meat Is Murder
The Queen Is Dead: Never Had No One Ever
The World Won't Listen: Shakespeare's Sister
Louder Than Bombs: Golden Lights

Mind you, if you took each of these songs and made up a new album, that album would rank #77 on the Rolling Stone All-Time Top 500. :)
 
:guffaw: (Edit: I didn't realise that smiley was LAUGHING! I thought it was weeping madly, sigh)
What a thread! I hate this! But I'll do it anyway because it's almost time to go to bed now and I'm not tired aat aall.

The Smiths - What Difference Does It Make?
Meat Is Murder - ... Now I really don't know what to say. Which track is the worst on MIM, seriously? Agh, ermm, Meat Is Murder? No! I Want the One I Can't Have? No! I'll skip, sorry.
The Queen Is Dead - Vicar in a Tutu
Strangeways Here We Come - Death at One's Elbow
Viva Hate - Margaret on the Guillotine, though she surely was a :crazy:
Kill Uncle - Found Found Found, it's very different compared to the rest of the tracks on this album.
Your Arsenal - You're The One For Me Fatty
Vauxhall & I - Used to Be a Sweet Boy or The Lazy Sunbathers
Southpaw Grammar - The Teachers Are Afraid of the Pupils. It's great but I didn't have a choice.
Maladjusted - Ammunition for sure. The lyrics aren't true, are they?
You Are The Quarry - America Is Not The World
Ringleader Of The Tormentors - On the Streets I Ran, I'm not entirely sure though.
Years Of Refusal - That's How People Grow Up and I don't know why. Probably I'm insane.

A lot of times, this just depends on my mood, but these are the songs I skip if I'm not in the mood to listen to a whole album. Most of these songs I don't even hate, except for Golden Lights. I do not like that song. I understand it's a cover, but still. Not good, in my opinion.

Is there any doubt this is the worst song on the album!? An absolutely cringe inducing number... "Ganglord" would have been a far better track...

I've always hated the lyrics in this. Overtly negative to the point of being ridiculous.

Meat Is Murder - Barbarism Begins at Home
Two minutes too long. I can barely listen to it anymore.

The Queen Is Dead - Never Had No One Ever
3 and a half minutes too long

Strangeways Here We Come - None

Viva Hate - Angel, Angel
AKA Cloudbusting by Kate Bush. No thanks.

Kill Uncle - Asian Rut
Completely forgettable

Your Arsenal - You're Gonna Need..
Always a bit to balls out and gung ho for me. Monotonous guitar riff as well.

Vauxhall & I - Lifeguard Sleeping
Never liked that high pitched whispered voice much

Southpaw Grammar - None

Maladjusted - Sorrow Will Come..
A bit naff and dramatic all at the same time

You Are The Quarry - I Like You
Acid techno version courtesy of Finn = crap

Ringleader Of The Tormentors - I Will See You in Far off Places
Tuneless start to an otherwise brilliant album

Years Of Refusal - Sorry Doesn't Help
TRULY AWFUL
