There are plenty of "favourite" threads, that's why I thought this might be an interesting topic of discussion. As an aside, I've just realised that every time I feel motivated to come here and talk about NMA, I have TIAGD on the stereo.
mmm......... difficult to say which albums are least favourite. I tend to chuck them all in one big pot and kinda have a NMA jukebox if you see what I mean.
I just can't do that. I listen to albums, or full releases, exclusively because I know first-hand how much effort goes into choosing tracks and song orders. To me the album is the art, the songs are just components. That's why I could spend endless hours creating lists of favourite albums but couldn't list any of my favourite songs to save my life.
All that makes it easy to pick favourites because I have to want to listen to it from beginning to end or I won't listen to it at all.
No song on EIGHT that grabs you???
"you weren't there"
"Orange tree trails"
"snelsmore wood"
"someone like Jesus"
All grab me by the throat great stuff
Each to his own I suppose 👍
No, they do nothing for me. After sifting through these forum I have made an effort to listen to those songs in particular but they just wash over me.
It is interesting, though, because there definitely seem to be two kinds of fans because, here and elsewhere, I notice that their are fans like you, who like all the stuff I don't, and those that tend to like the same things I do. It is very different to, say, the Killing Joke forum where the range of opinions seems far more diverse. Maybe that's because KJ have gone through a lot of phases - they are definitely my favourite band of all-time but they have made some terrible records, whereas NMA have been amazingly consistent over a great span of years.
