This is probably an unorthodox type of post for this board but I am going to give it a shot anyway. I would like everyone to take turns choosing an "Unsung Gem" (a song that you think is really good, but that doesn't get much love on the live and greatest hits albums) and an "Unpolished Turd" (a song that is so repulsive that you are tempted to burn a duplicate CD without it included). Give reasons for your choices, and be creative (not like 'because it rocks/sucks' or 'because Joey/Bush sings it'). You can follow the template below, unless you are too lazy (I won't judge). It is kind of a game, but I think it could be rather enlightening.

Unsung Gem - Piss N Vinigar, from Volume 8
Because it rocks. No, seriously...first, I think taking a phrase from "The Grapes of Wrath", misspelling it and making it into an Anthrax song is rather brilliant. The whole PnV notion really comes out in the lyrics "I've burned a bridge, I've burned a whole town 'cause I'm motherfucking fortified". Epic! And most importantly...I got a fever, and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!!
Unpolished Turd - Toast To The Extras, also from Volume 8
Okay, I personally have nothing against being 'ironic' or 'experimental', but occupying the first 3 minutes of a track with some redneck, shitkicker country song and tacking on another 1:24 of an acid trip is just wrong. Listening to it is like having teeth pulled with no anesthesia while being forced to watch Oprah Winfrey masturbate. I think I would prefer death.
