Music

My wife is a music nerd, so I asked her this question. Her answer: Summer Nights from "Grease". The entire song is perfect for what it is, except for the very last word. John Travolta switches to his falsetto range to sing the word "nights" in a style that reminds me of the Bee Gees, and it just doesn't fit with all the vocals that came before it. It's literally a sour note to end what's otherwise a perfectly good song.

Method Man is one of Wu-Tang's best rap songs but it starts with a lengthy and disturbing section where the various members take turns describing how they'd torture people. Method Man ends the section with arguably the worst method.

It's pretty neat I guess and is supposed to show you how depraved Method Man's character is supposed to be. But when you listen to it like 20 times it just gets old fast. I don't wanna hear about rusty screwdrivers again...

Highway 61 Revisited could have been my favorite Bob Dylan song, except for that damn slide whistle.

It's not that it sounds bad, but NIN's Hurt has that loud af riff that I have to prepare my ears for every time

Almost all the songs I know of that are good, except one part, generally the bad part is just random noise or repetition at the end of the song that just grates on you the more you hear it.

I wouldn't say it ruins it, but the really obvious splice edit in the third verse of She Loves You is jarring for me every time.

The Fall Out Boy remix of Hand Crushed By A Mallet by 100 Gecs (https://spotify.link/Vtwt9T0DhDb) is absolutely fantastic, a brilliant pop punk cover right up until the end when it's just melted into absolute fucking noise. I get it, it's Gecs. But just let it be a good cover - please.

Looks like they did get the message with their most recent album as it's a lot more listenable.

Saved this post, this weekend I should try my hand at making edited versions of a couple of the songs to try and remove the parts people think are shitty.

theres a few songs i really liked, then i heard the background vocal and it is just irritating as hell. examples being electric version by the new pornographers and the monster song from lego rock band

Shit I got nothing for this. I listen to a lot of music, but the weird, jarring parts that others don't enjoy are usually written for me. When La Mala Ordina by clipping. broke down into terrible noises at the end, my wife thought something had happened to our speaker. She thought the echo had gone fucking haywire mid song. I was rocking the fuck out to the terrible noises >_>

Panic! At The Disco's 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies'

I originally listened to the version where they censored the word 'god', which is stupid on its own but the songs a banger.

Now when i listen to how he goes like 3 octaves higher for the single word god, its just jarringly out of place. Which, might be the point? Its still annoying.

I'm not generally anti-Donna when it comes to the Grateful Dead but there's definitely the odd track delivered with all the grace of a toddler with a recorder. Then again, every member of that band ruined the odd track at one point or another!

Still wish I had been around to see them more than any other band though.

First thing that comes to mind is Pink Floyd - Echoes. One of the greatest tracks ever, but that bit in the middle is kind of grating. Maybe if you're tripping hard enough it's not that bad...

This song would be great if only there weren't any Machine Gun Kelly passages in it.

Pretty much any song where they have to say their name about a dozen times. Just in case its too generic to tell I guess

"Goat Flokk" by Cristobal and the Sea

Majority of the song is fantastic, but the last 1/4th has an extremely loud and shrill flute solo that nearly makes my ears hurt.

Yaught - Paradise Engineering.

Bring in the retro synth, introduce a slapping bass beat, and just when you're ready for a shot of adrenalin in comes the overraught, out of tempo, spoken word over the top.

:-(

Similarly, every Mogwai album has to have a synth-voice track for some reason. Presumably to give the audience a chance to go to the loo without missing anything.
