    I hate surf wax america on Weezer blue album feels to me like a quickly thrown together filler to bulk up the number of songs on the album.

    I'm not too fond of Get Out of My House on The Dreaming. I find the hee hawing parts to be irritating.

    "Sarah" wrecks the flow of Black Rose: A Rock Legend by Thin Lizzy. Right in between Waiting For An Alibi and Got To Give It Up, what were they thinking?

    Oasis – Definitely Maybe has two –Digsy’s Dinner and Married with Children are good fun but should have been B-Sides, replaced on the album by Listen Up and Whatever

    Only, they hadn't made Whatever at that point.

    I always disliked "Sweet Sweet" on Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins - the song itself is OK, but it doesn't really do much and its in the wrong place, right after Silverf**k - it would've better to go straight into Luna at that point. If you play one after the other they do go well that way. Sweet Sweet seems like something that's a good idea, but not fully thought out.

    Otherwise, that album = 10/10.

    My only problem with Sweet Sweet is that it's too short! I love that song though. The only song on Siamese Dream that I'm not really fond of is Spaceboy, it never really does anything for me.

    Joni Mitchell - The hissing of summer lawns. Beautiful album, The Jungle line kind of ruins the mood.
    Pixies - Trompe le monde. Space (I believe) maybe the worst song they ever did. I always skip it.

    Can't agree with The Jungle Line; I think it fits in well.

    That trilogy of albums - Hissing, Hejira, Don Juan - is an amazing sequence.

    It was written well before though, may not have been recorded by the time of DM but could have been,
    There is songs on Morning Glory and Be Here Now that Noel wrote before they even had a record deal

    IT was written and demoed in the very early days.

    Same goes for All Around The World but it was never in line to be on Def Maybe! They left off Listen Up as they thought it was too similar to Supersonic. I love it though!

    I don't agree about Spaceboy - by that point in the album, a break from the big guitar noise is welcome - the use of the mellotron is pretty inspired.

    Agree about Sweet Sweet - it is too short, too much of an after thought - would've been a nice b side perhaps, or a "hidden" track maybe.

    Noel was saving it for the 3rd album as he often joked to Bonehead.

    The OP just wished Whatever was on DM instead of the tracks he mentioned. No one is arguing whether it was "in line" or not.

    Digsy's Dinner is a throw away, but Married With Children is really good and it certainly wouldn't be Definitely Maybe (for me) without it.

    Some also named Knives Out by Radiohead. NO!! The guitar playing on it is excellently melodically brilliant. One of the highlights

    Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky on Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers. Just doesn't belong on there, always a skip for me.

    Fully agree. I'd also ditch Further Away. I'd have had First Republic, Horses under Starlight or Sepia there instead.

    Duquesne Whistle on Dylan's 'Tempest' album irritates the hell out of me.
