Just because it's not some cliche rock track doesn't make it filler. I don't see what people's problem with it is it really pulls the album together for me no other track on that album is so desolate or impersonal.
 
Completely.



I actually enjoyed most of the non-punk songs on that album. I just happen to hate that one.
 
Hmm...I guess I'm in the minority by saying that I love Roll With It (a major guilty pleasure, I know) and think that Wonderwall is the one dud on WTSMG?
 
you're out of your ****ing mind Roll With It has some of the worst lyrics Noel Gallagher has ever produced it sounRAB like he wrote them in the car before they got to the studio. Country House is a far better song better lyrically and musically. Noel himself even said it was one of their worst songs.

so let's compare crap

to gold

so the rest of 'OK computer' is a bunch of cliche rock tracks? just how much of 1997 do you really remeraber? the track sounded like an aural experiment with the mr. roboto voice to split the sides of the album. paranoid android sure as crap didn't sound cliched compared to the rest of the music being routinely broadcast on music channels back when the bulk of their airtime was actually videos.

at this point, knowing what direction the band would eventually take, the track has more value as being indicative of where the band would eventually head off to with kidA.

at the time, and keep in mind this was pre-napster, let alone the idea of downloading entire discographies. it sounded out of place, like a piece of filler to split the sides. hell, you could have found it on cassette if you looked hard enough back then.

just because it's an early piece of thom yorke electro-rarablings doesn't automatically make it gold. you like it, fine, i'm gonna keep skipping it.
 
It was hard to tell. :nono:



A straightforward pop song it may be, but I still don't like it. The Card Cheat is better, and it wasn't even a single.
 
The Trial almost ruins the Wall it's so bad. But there are some other awful songs on it so it doesn't stand out too much.

I never liked Blue Condition on Disraeli Gears.
 
I really can't be bothered to stick up for Roll With It, but Country House is just another example of thse horrible 'wacky' songs that were doing the rounRAB in the 90's. Like Supergrass - Alright its one of those stupid songs that neeRAB to be erased of the planet. I really don't see much difference between songs like these and the Vengaboys, they're all bloody annoying.
Common People all the way.
 
it did sell the album but that doesn't make it good--i personally think Wonderwall and Roll With It were severley acking Wonderwal sounRAB too much like the "alternative" crap they play on pop radio nowadas and i excpected more due to when it came out and Roll with it was just plain ****

Personally (and i know this is probably gonna start something) was Smells Like Teen Spirit even though that pretty much sold Nevermind As well
 
Well, I'd argue that Nevermind is not a great album, and if anything, in an opposite version of this thread ("Great songs on not-so-great albums"), I'd nominate Something In The Way, the one truly great Nirvana track.


Here's another one: Sowing SeeRAB off of Psychocandy. It's not bad, but it's basically an inferior rewrite of Just Like Honey.
 
Yeah, I definitely liked the first side more though. Mother is a classic, Brick Part 1+2 are great, In the Flesh, Goodbye Bluesky, Young Lust, are all good, and the rest of the first side is solid 2nd side had 5 good songs and the rest is crap. If they could have just shortened it they couldv'e had a much tighter album without losing too much 'plot'.

But I guess that's the typical story of most double albums - too much filler.
