I maintain that Cake has never released a bad album, but Race Car Ya-Yas on Fashion Nugget is absolute crap. A festering boil on the face of an otherwise unblemished body of work.
My favourite singer is Enya, and I still haven't listened to the album "And Winter Came" all the way through. Her holiday album.
There's also a holiday edition of Amarantine and I've never heard it.
I have Apple Music. I have access to all of this. When I added Amarantine, the holiday edition shows by default. I scrolled down to "other versions" and selected the original and added that to my library (I also have the physical CD and I've ripped it and the others and many more to the highest m4a/aac fre:ac can do).
I just don't do holiday music. Not a grinch or anything, it's just not for me.
It's more of a B-side track but it's still their own song. And it's the very first one that came to my head and has been in my head since this post lol
Apnea by Currents. Love the band, have seen them multiple times in person, and have lots of merch. But it’s an extremely detailed song, and it’s very hard to hear, making it my least favorite. They are a phenomenal metalcore band though.
Not really my ultimate favorite, but it stands out because it’s one song that ruins the album for me: “Drawing The Line” from Porcupine Tree’s concept album “The Incident”. The sudden tonal shift takes me out of the mood when listening to the album in its entirety.
Genesis - Illegal Alien, overly poppy and tasteless for a variety of reasons. If not for the lyrics and racial insensitivity, it would be musically preferable to Who Dunnit
Peter Gabriel - The Story of OVO, I love to see Peter experiment and test out different genres but he does not realize how important flow is to rap/hip hop and his lyrical verbosity got the best of him
Honorable mention: Foreigner - Big Dog, overly repetitive riff, trite and creepy symbolism, and really weird growling by Lou Gramm. The sax solo is good though
I love almost everything by Pink Floyd, but their entire album Animals is a dud for me. Regardless, I'm pretty sure I have an MP3 copy of the album backed up anyways.
I liked Stacy’s Mom when I first heard it, but after listening to more and Fountains of Wayne over the years, it just makes me angry because it’s the only song of theirs anybody knows! I like that most of their music is about everyday moments and emotions, but the only everyday moment people know is the milf one.
And then I start thinking about Bowling for Soup’s cover of Stacy’s Mom, which is by far the worst cover I have ever heard, not because it’s bad in its own right, but because there are no creative decisions taken, nothing to make it their own, they just do nothing with it and on Spotify it has an entire half of the number of plays as the original. The first time I heard the cover, I didn’t realize until the singing started and I thought the voice sounded a little different. And there are people who don’t even realize Bowling for Soup’s “version” is a cover!

The alive 2007 version fits in the live set. That was much better than the song on its own on the human after all album

If you like Enya in Latin, check out Pax Deorum off The Memory of Trees. Similar energy but almost scary. Name means “peace of the gods”.
A Day Without Rain, Amarantine, and Dark Sky Island are in my heavy rotation.

Dream Theater - Anna Lee
It's an alright song, I guess, but it's so far away from their other stuff that I do like, and it's really not my cup of tea.

The correct answer for Pink Floyd must surely be Seamus?? How that song ever got made, let alone included on an album, is beyond me.

I don't know that song off the top of my head, sorry. One of the tracks from Animals?
I dunno, but I have 12 Pink Floyd albums archived, Seamus is probably in there, I'm just not home to check.
My absolute favorite Pink Floyd album is The Division Bell, which I found in the ditch on a bicycle ride in pristine condition, and now archived..

It’s on the album Meddle. It’s a 2:15 blues song with a dog howling throughout, which is exactly as bad as it sounds.
