I agree with you , I've gone so far as to put my JL and YO albums in storage and only listen to JL's Acoustic CD .

Magical Mystery Tour - Flying and Blue Jay Way - luckily they are consecutive so I only have to lift the arm once. Pat Metheny Group -Barcarole on Offramp which is otherwise an exceptional album Lucky there also since it is the first track. Too many to mention on Springsteen's The River. It should have been a single record album and then would have been up there with his first four. Steely Dan - Everything Must Go - last track on side one - Slang of Ages (Walter ( RIP) sings. Only song I ever skip on any of their or Fagen's 13 records I skip. |
Interesting that Tracks 40-50 years old are a cause of irritation. I bought a Album in the past few months, where the Pianist who is very talented, seemed to have a need to add words, and proved through doing so there song writing is very needy. All songs were One Word only blended into the music, or one phrase used commonly in everyday talk. 'Brush Your Teeth' 😁on repeat. Such a sabotage has taken away the want to listen to the younger musicians exceptional piano playing that is on offer. |

To All I'll agree that some songs ( like Angie ) are boring and or monotonous but to me they are not bad enough to get out of my chair and lift the tonearm . I also agree with that songs covered by other artists can be off putting or at least hit or miss , like the Lou Reed tribute album from RSD , like like most but not of the renditions . As for " Fiddle About " , I don't see this as a stand alone song , to me it's just part of the story .

Good hits on Angie and Purple Haze! Wish you were here @willyht you should give another listen out of their live concert Live in Pompeii. You will hear best of their poorly recorded sound. |
@dekay I've not heard of " The Last Castrato " but a few minutes ( even seconds ) of listening on Spotify makes me want to never lower a tonearm on to that recording . @czarivey If so why would you buy the albums they award ? The songs I will lift the tonearm are on otherwise grat albums . @dogberry not getting into or liking is not the same as so bad or irritating that you have to get up an lift the tonearm .
