It's funny, aside from "Johnny B. Goode" and the terrible overprocessed guitar sound overall, I really like Ram it Down - "Love Zone" included

None w/The Doors!

Never really cared for "Fool In The Rain" by Zeppelin. It's not a bad song; it just doesn't do anything for me.

I like it, and by your own admission it's not a crappy song. Those can be found on Coda!

Maiden are one of my absolute favorites, but I can't stand "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter." First thing I thought upon first hearing it: "Damn. I can't believe Bruce Dickinson was capable of writing a song I just don't like at all."

"Johnny B. Goode" is one song Priest should have never covered. I love the Chuck Berry original, but It's just not very conducive to Rob's voice

Metallica's "Escape" is the only song I ever skipped on it's respective album.

Iron Maiden - Deja Vu

Awful lyrics and bad melody by Maiden standards. Worst song they wrote.

Judas Priest - Johnny B. Goode

Just... bad. Does not work at all with the Judas Priest sound.

Dokken - Slippin' Away

Sign of The Times-Queensryche

I loved Queensryche in the late eighties and early nineties, even Silent Lucidity. Their comeback song that hit the airwaves in 1997, though, really sucked!! When I found out this song was actually Queensryche, I couldn't believe that they would write stuff like this.

That's a good tune.

I love Deja Vu, its one of my favorite Maiden songs. Never heard the Dokken one.

Slippin Away is an awesome Dokken song. Just as good a ballad as Alone Again.

Only My Heart Talkin'- Alice Cooper

On the whole, Trash is basically Trash, but that song in particular ignores the piss out of me.

Touch Me (I don't think Morrison even liked that one)

Whiskey Bar. A horrible musical theater number, the only reason the debut isn't a perfect classic.

Whiskey Bar is definitely skippable.

Yeah, I forgot about that one, add it to the list.

I am Doors die hard fan, I donot dislike 'Whiskey Bar' but it is the worst song on their album, but I guess Jim Morrison could not resist singing about Whiskey Bars.

I'm listening to the first Rainbow album and grooving right along...until the song "If You Don't Like Rock N Roll" comes on. This album would be near perfect if it wasn't for that one particular punch bowl turd.

Listening to KISS' "REVENGE" for the first time in a while right now... and man, I love this album (one of my fave KISS discs) but it would be sooooo much better if they'd left off "God Gave RnR To You" and "Every Time I Look At You"

'Every Time I look at You' is a little sappy, but ok. But I skip 'God Gave...'every time. Do not like that song one bit. Good call on that one, Fro-drick.

Quote :

"God Gave RnR To You"

Yeah, I've always hated that one too. I don't remember "Everytime I Look At You", but then I haven't listened to that album in a coon's age either.

Speaking of Dokken, I really like their latest "Lightning Strikes Again"
a lot, except for 1 song on it that really sucks and that is "Disease"!

All of "Shadow Life" also sucks too IMO.

Guns N' Roses "Chinese Democracy" has 2 duds to my ears, they are
"Rhiad and the Bedouins" and "Sheckler's Revenge"

I like AC/DC a lot, but the song "Ballbreaker" makes my skin crawl, and
a lot of "Stiff Upper Lip" I dislike as well.

Me too, that's one of my favorite tracks from that album...

'Let's Put the X in Sex' and 'You Make Me Rock Hard' are too steaming piles of dog turd in the KISS songbook.

Aerosmith-Cryin', Crazy and practically any Joe Perry song except Let The Music Do The Talkin'

Dude, I don't know about the Joe Perry comment, but IMO those first two Joe Perry Project albums from the early 80's are some of the best Stones inspired rock n roll of that time. Dirty, simple, and to quote one of the song titles off one of those Perry classics, 'No Subsitute for Arrogance', just 100% attitude.

Also some of the highlights of some of those Aerosmith records are some of his tunes like 'Bright Light Fright' and 'Walk on Down'
