Instantly skipped tracks?

[Brooks]

I was just listening to Porcupine Tree's Deadwing when I noticed that I--almost unconciously--skip Lazarus every time.

What otherwise great albums have songs that you just skip instinctively?


Porcupine Tree/Deadwing - Lazarus (I cannot stand this song)
Porcupine Tree/Recordings - Access Denied
Dream Theater/Awake - Lifting Shadows off a Dream
King Crimson/Red - Providence (not all the time, but it keeps me far too long from Starless

)
Testament/The New Order - Nobodys Fault
Nevermore/Politics of Ecstacy - Passenger (possibly my #1 most skipped song ever, I barely think of it as a Nevermore song I skip it so much

)

VERY interesting you posted this, since i'm listening to Deadwing right now. One of my favorite records from 2005.

And you skip Lazarus? What the hell, dude? That song basically transcends beautiful and into an aura beyond it. Probably the most peaceful/beautiful song i've ever heard. It's gonna be on a mix cd i'm making with other songs of that nature, and i'm gonna go walking at 2-3am with the cd playing in my headphones.

Porcupine Tree/Recordings - Access Denied

Same here.

Lazarus sucks.


"....follow me down, while I caress my vagina..."



And Porcupine Tree is one of my favorite bands out there, so a song of theirs has really got to be lame for me to label it bad. Lazarus is pure vagina rock.



I thought of another track I always skip....

The Beatles/Abbey Road - Octopus's Garden (probably my single favorite album of all time.... if not for Ringo's "hey guys, I got a song too", though the arrangement is probably as good as it could have possibly been)

 

[Cat5Messiah]

It all depends in what mood I'm in.

I could listen to Dream Theater - Awake and skip Caught in a Web when another day I may not. Or I could listen to Symphony X - The Odyssey and go straight to The Turning when another day I could listen to King of Terrors.

Opinions are opinions, i guess.

 

[DirgeForNovember]

The only song I can think about is "Angel's Thanatos" from the Silent Hill 2 Soundtrack.

 

[PlatypusJesus]

I enjoy Lazarus as well...

Nice thread...

Some cds have very sucky filler material like the following:

Annihilator - All For You: Holding On
Judas Priest - British Steel: United
Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark: The Apparition, Weekend Warrior
Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusions II: My World
Manowar - Warriors Of The World: Nasum Dorma
Helloween - Master of The Rings: Take me Home

i dont skip songs generally

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I also always skip The Passanger

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I dont skip The Passenger

I skip Believe in Nothing, Evolution 169, and The Heart Collector

 

[Vic Rattlehead]

I skip over Dawn Patrol 99% of the time on Rust in Peace, Passenger does get skipped sometimes.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I can understand the Heart Collecter but Beleive In Nothing???

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I actually like The Heart Collector a lot more than BIN... that song just bores the living daylights outta me. The only bad nevermore song in my opinion

 

[Larf03]

I skip over Dawn Patrol 99% of the time on Rust in Peace, Passenger does get skipped sometimes.

Me too

 

[Ketshy]

Whats with all the Passenger hating here?

 

[Captain Beard]

too slow for their impatient faces.

 

[the phish]

i usually skip bittersweet feast..

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

too slow for their impatient faces.

Not at all. I like lots of slow and long music, but the music in The Passenger just bores me to death. I love Warrels vocals in it though but still
