Post albums where the best song is followed by the worst song and others try to guess which songs you're referring to
>>72704998
that album has no bad songs
>>72705024
Worst doesn't necessarily mean bad
>>72704998
I Know It's Over followed by Never Had No One Ever?
>>72704998
never had no one ever is not the worst song
however the boy with the thorn in his side is tied for best song imo with vicar as worst
>>72704998
that album has no bad songs
>>72704998
There is a light > Some girls
>>72705024
>>72705246

>>72704998

>>72705255
Some girls is my favourite song on that album
>>72704998
Queen Is Dead > Frankly Mr Shankly

>>72705454
I agree. I've always thought that There is a Light or I Know It's Over would have been a much better closing track for the album
>>72705255
winrar
>>72705255
This.
guess
Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others is the best Smiths song in general. Definitely the best song on that album. People who don't like it I would consider musical retards.
>>72705514
Too true, it's one of his very best riffs imo. Shame Morrissey had to spoil it with his asinine lyrics though.
it's not Pyramid Song & Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors
>>72706482
Une année sans lumière > Neighborhood #3
>>72706431
Life In A Glasshouse into the end of the album because it's a masterpiece
>>72706515
>power out
>worst song
I'm speechless
>>72706533
I was thinking Packt like Sardines > Pyramid Song but that's better
>>72706574
(you)
>>72706515
Neighborhood #3 is actually the best song though
Put Frankly Mr. Shankly down between vicar and thorn in his side and I agree
>>72706431
you're either talking about Dollars & Cents > Hunting Bears or Knives out > Morning Bell, if I had to guess.
>>72706153
Fancy Clowns to Eye?
Money Folder to Shadows of Tomorrow?
>>72706574
this, pyramid song is overrated as FUCK
>>72706153
figaro to hardcore hustle
>>72706995
A Little God in My Hands > Bring the Sun
>>72706995
she loves us! > kirsten supine
>>72707034
You're very close in terms of track listing
>>72705514
This
One of my favorites on the album honestly even Morrissey's stupid shit can't ruin those riffs
>>72707084
>Pink + White
>Be Yourself
?
>>72707068
Kirsten Supine is the third best song. I am a sucker for corny lyrics.
>>72706482
>Rebellion (Lies)
>In the Back Seat
It's gotta be
>>72706995
Bring The Sun/Toussaint L'Overture > Some Things We Do
Still the greatest album of the 90s, but if you've heard this record all the way through you know exactly what I am talking about.
>>72707131
In the Back Seat >>>>> Rebellion (Lies) tho
>>72707137
DINGDINGDING!!!
WINRAR
>>72704998
Motherfucker, if you think Frankly Mr Shankly is bad I'll slice your throat
>>72707142
Desert Search For Techno Allah > Violenza Domestica
>>72707197
NOT EVEN CLOSE
Latter half of the album
If anything, Violenza's the best track.
easy
>>72707238
I'm actually listening to the album for the second time now.
I'll guess again once I'm finished
>>72704998
I Know It's Over -> Never Had No One Ever?
>>72706153
Excuse me, sir. Nothing comes after Rhinestone Cowboy.
>>72707084
What >>72707108 said.
Should be easy
>>72707302
>Yeah - Crass Mix
>Yeah - Pretentious Mix
or
>Daft Punk Is Playing At My House
>Too Much Love
the first of those is correct tho
>>72707253
You won't regret it, friendo.
>>72707357
fuck or it could be
>Losing My Edge
>Beat Connection
Why does that album have so many hits and misses
>>72707259
Muse isn't good at all with the exception of their earliest stuff.
>>72707357
it was the Yeah's
and fuck you Beat Connection is great
>>72707382
consider it least bad to most bad
>>72707436
Fair enough
BUMPARINO
>>72705454
Now that I don't listen to this anymore, it's the one I think of the most. I dunno.
>>72707142
>>72707366
very good album desu
anyway, is it The Bends > Backstokin' ?
>>72707142
I know you're talking about Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz>The Bends but The Bends is actually the best track, however Backstokin is also god tier, so the closest I can think of is the amazing free jazz fusion improvisation piece that is "platypus"->the kinda disappointing kept-it-from-being-a-10-but-still-good comedy rock/power electronics tune that is "merry go bye bye"
>>72708151
wait, do people not like The Bends?
I thought it was very good
>>72708208
Yeah it's seen as the Moonchild of this album from what I remember from discussion about it
>>72706482
Wake Up then Crown of Love? Or Rebellion and In The Backseat? Or Neighborhood #2 then Une Anne Sans Lumiere? Those are the only ones I can think of.
>>72706515
How can someone think Neighborhood #3 is the worst song.
>>72704998
Perfect album, but there are still probably two right answers.
>>72704998
some girls are bigger than others is worst
>>72706482
tunnels best
i don't like anything else
>>72709071
Never tell
Jesus
>>72709071
Country death song
I hear the rain
>>72704998
you're referring to i know it's over -> never had no one ever, but i know it's over isn't the best song.
>>72709221
anna (go to him)
chains
>>72709296
>>72709221
Nah, was thinking I Saw Her Standing There followed by Misery.
>>72708067
Correct. I am the original poster btw. Backstrokin, while satisfactory is kind of meh compared to the Bends, the best ten minutes of music ever produced.
>>72705373
And All You Can Do Is Laugh 1 isn't the best song though
>>72709613
you're right, JimmyBreeze 1 is
>>72707247
My vote goes to Riviere (worst) following Kimdracula (fucking awesome)
>>72708151
Here, I'll rank them
12) Chemical Marriage 7.5/10 (Actual worst track, but still fun and bouncy, just doesn't click for me as much
11) After School Special 8/10 (Really good for what its worth but not fleshed out enough)
10) Backstrokin 9/10 (Really good giallo melody, I would consider this an earworm, not the worst, but pales in comparison to previous)
9-4) Everything else 10/10
3) Merry Go Bye Bye 11/10 (Best closer of any album since Uncle Meat and Fun House)
2) Violenza Domestica 11/10 (My personal favorite)
1) The Bends 12/10 (absolute majesty, it could be in the books to me, it creates a story thru wordless music that swells, derails, and climaxes in what could be its own album if they stretched It out 20 more minutes)
>>72709600
come on guys, you know it's the truth
>>72709613
>>72709650
>Treating the two halves of each track as separate songs
Can't imagine what it's like to be this pleb
>>72709878
they are different tracks, though
they have the same name because each of them were one side of a single
>>72709025
New Grass to Runeii?
>>72709600
But Lucky isn't a bad song
>>72710219
>No Surprises best song
>>72710247
But it is tho
>>72710261
But it isn't
easy one
Honestly
>>72710282
New Dawn Fades followed by She's Lost Control
>>72710326
those are 2 great songs back to back
>>72710356
only answer I agree with ITT
I'm assuming it's Sleep > Antennas To Heaven
>>72710316
1st half>2nd half
>>72710458
Yup
>>72710422
Agreed
>>72709600
Not counting Fitter Happier, Paranoid Android --> Subterranean Homesick Alien works
There are two correct answers for this one
>>72709772
My take
12. Merry Go Bye Bye (7/10) it's the only track where it just doesn't seem that "tasteful", all the other tracks were an amazing blend of different experimental influences, where as this is really random, still a good song though
11. Opener (8/10) repetitive, noisy, good
10. After School Special (8/10) like MGBB but goes over better
9. DSFTA (9/10) funky as hell, but not the best on the album
8. Phlegmatics (10/10) amazing example of dissonance, and blending instruments that shouldn't work
7. Carry stress (10/10) absolutely stunning off the cuff chaotic improvisation, the part where he starts singing Edgar Allan Poe is one of my favorite musical moments
6. Violenza Domestica (10/10) probably the most disturbing song I've ever heard, so effective in its goal that's it's hard to listen to
5. Backstrokin (10/10) absolutely beautiful sounds, great production, infectious and doesn't overstay it's welcome, I love nothing more in the song than that atmospheric as hell outro, I'd kinda want to hear that extended a bit now that I think of it
4. Ma Meeshka Mow Skwaz (10/10) "what were they thinking? This is great"
3. Chemical Marriage (10/10) the soundtrack to my 2014 winter, played it so many times when I first heard it
2. Platypus (10/10) This is the most "mr bungle" song I've heard, if you want to hear the essence of this band, listen to that song
1. The bends (11/10) utter perfection, any flaw it might have doesn't even matter, I don't care. It's so fully realized and atmospheric with its instrumentation and abstract sounds that I almost wonder if this was sampled from some obscure movie. Sounds like a oneohtrix point never song if oneohtrix point never was a band instead of an electronic producer
>>72710356
mfw antennas to heaven is my favorite gybe song
>>72710739
I can see this for me but you'd have to switch Merry Go Bye Bye and Chemical Marriage,
Then again, if you're talking about the hidden track, I can see where you're coming from, but I personally think the ending is a great concept because this album is filled to the brim with complex shit, and then it ends with a bunch of people fucking around which I find brilliant.
BTW, how do I screenshot a specific part of my screen on Windows, I want to use your ranking list as something of a comparison
>>72711040
NVM on last part
>>72710326
>>72710282
Shadowplay followed by Wilderness
>>72710219
Yeah, but it's still the worst on the album.
>>72711379
nah. Electioneering
