One of the nice things about vinyl playback is that you effectively had to listen to songs you liked less than others on an album. Over time I noticed that my opinion changed about many of those songs. The two Tony Williams vocals on "Turn It Over" are a case in point. They never became my favorites, but they did become listenable and even enjoyable. "Psalm" on Roxy Music's "Stranded" is a good example for me.
Terrible/Inappopriate songs ...
on an otherwise wonderful release. Know of any? These bug the crap out of me as they are: dumb songs, inappropriate selections as per the rest of the release, and sung very poorly. What is (was) up with them?
1. Miles Davis, "Nothing Like You", on Sorcerer (1962).
2. Tony Williams, "This Night This Song", and, "Once I Loved", a two-fer on Turn It Over (1970).
I very much like both of these releases, but they are spoiled by these insipid songs (IMO) unless I skip them. Know of others such as these clinkers? Must be ones which stick out like sore thumbs on an otherwise good/great release. Cuts which make you exclaim, WTF?
