Embarrasing Songs From Otherwise Good Albums

<img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle> Songs that make you go Skip <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>

Most Classic Albums have them, in my opinion. These are songs I'm most likely to skip when I play the music for my friends:


-That's really super, supergirl - XTC( Skylarking) This song gets on my nerves!

-The Gospel - Dandy Warhols( Thirteen Tales...)Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

-The Dead of Night - Depeche Mode( Exciter) What the hell is this, Marilyn Manson?!!

-How Does It Feel To Feel - Ride( Carnival of Light)

-Don't Fall - Chameleons UK( Script of the Bridge)

-Bouncing Babies - Teardrop Explodes( Kilimanjaro)

-Maybe, Maybe - A-Ha( Scoundrel Days)

-Modern Love - Peter Gabriel( 1st Album)

-Dance, Dance, Dance - Steve Miller( Fly Like An Eagle)
Bloody Awful!

-Sister's Are Doing It For Themselves - Eurythmics( Be Yourself Tonight)

-Transfer Affection - Flock of Seagulls( Listen)

Well, that's all for now.

I love Ric Ocasek's Beatitude album -- except for the last song "Time Bomb" so I just stop the cd at that point.
