Re: Songs you SHOULD love, but that you hate

I've never liked Grey Street and lucky me, it's my number one live song seen. Something about the beat of it, just seems so lamely simple.

    Sugar Will is the most overrated piece of shit song. The guitar riff is overrated and the vocal melody is forgettable

    Mine are definitely Joyride, Idea of You, and Say Goodbye. Don't hate them, but can always skip them.

    Here are ones I see people hate which I do not understand, Samurai Cop, Sweet, Hunger for the Great Light. The first two are short songs with amazing lyrics and feel. Hunger is a short song with ok lyrics but just gets ya fired up.

    Say Goodbye and Little Thing seem to be universally loved and I could take or leave both of them. The way that Little Thing starts with Dave telling a story about a girl he met - I really hate that part. The actual song part isn't too bad.

    Be Yourself
    Plastic Girl
    Louisiana Bayou
    Cornbread
    Shake Me Like a Monkey
    When the World Ends
    Stand Up
    Everybody Wakeup (2013 version is cool though)
    You and Me (I don’t hate it, but it’s hard for me to pick 10 that I hate)
    True Reflections (not sure if this one counts. I also don’t hate it, it’s pretty cool but also pretty bad song writing)

    Re: Songs you SHOULD love, but that you hate

    I love PNP-> Rapunzel, especially early in a set, but dislike it as a closer. PNP is a song of welcome, so it’s very strange to play it and then send everyone home. The solos that close Rapunzel are fine, but never seem to match the energy and intensity of other common closers and encores. It’s strange to feel disappointment at hearing a song you love, but there it is.

    Also, ffs, someone please fix Drunken Soldier to be the awesome closer it could be, instead of the hot mess it currently is.

    Took me a little while to get into those tunes as well. Did not understand the appeal when I was a more casual fan.

    I honestly cant think of one. Some took me longer to love than others but Im pretty stereotypical with liking what most consider good and disliking what most consider bad.

    Sometimes I miss my more casual days just to re descover the greatness of these songs agian.

    My friend (who's a casual fan) got minarets as an electric opener at his first show. At one point in time I thought I would never hear minarets but yet my friend gets it at his first show haha

    Hate Tripping Billies. It's basically my determining factor in buying a live release these days. If that song is on it... probably not buying it.

    I don't get all the love for YNK and Sugar Will, but I still enjoy both. SW was amazing with Santana, besides that its one of my least favorite out of the 04 songs.

    I hate Seven which is generally well liked, but I realize most of Ants agrees with me.

    Damn, that's really a strong take. And that's a lot of releases.

    I really hate Angel, but if 6/29/03 got released that one song wouldn't stop me from buying it

    That's me, I like some songs on cd but have zero interest in seeing them live and killing energy
    Cry freedom is a perfect example. Good song, great at killing a shows energy. Fits d&t much better

    Yeah, it's on way too many releases... I've bought them in the past but have pretty much stopped now. Unless the rest of the set is a real mind blower, I don't see that changing.

    Sugar Will... never really got why people liked it so much. Always skip it.

    Also, #41 during the days of the 20+min versions got very boring to me. (32 min version is unreal).

    Yeah Sugar Will was always a skip song for me until a couple of years ago, it's probably only 60% of the way down my list now so I listen!!

    Sweet I can't stand, the end of that song (at least studio) is just so TRITE. It makes me brain-gag

    Sugar Will sucks. Also, I could probably do without ever hearing Jimi or Crush again.

    Letting any one song dictate you purchasing a release is kinda silly IMO

    Sugar Will does not suck in any form. I still like the song in it's newer form.

    I thought they absolutely butchered the song in 2016. It was less than a shell of itself.
