.. on the entire album.

it doesnt mean that the rest of the album sucks, its just the rest of the album isnt up to par with the first track

I'll start with:

Franz Ferdinand- S/T
Tapes 'n Tapes- The Loon

bloc party ~ 'like eating glass' from silent alarm

4/14/2006 6:55:32 PM

ha, i was strongly considering that song, so much that i am listening to it right now

weirddd

4/14/2006 6:56:57 PM

if we're not counting track-01 intros

i'd suggest sic transit gloria

4/14/2006 7:12:17 PM

DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL - SCREAMING INFIDELITIES

i win this thread

Win? Or lose?

4/14/2006 7:15:38 PM

filter - welcome to the fold (first song on "title of record")

i thought this was one of the most underrated songs ever, when it died pretty quickly but "take a picture" got so much play that people got sick of it

4/14/2006 7:19:45 PM

went through my itunes, another few:
"five years" ~ david bowie from ziggy stardust
"ether" ~ gang of four from entertainment
"the seasons reverse" ~ gastr del sol from camofleur
"he's simple, he's dumb, he's the pilot" ~ grandaddy from sophtware slump
"my name is jonas" ~ weezer from blue album

this is an insult to music lovers everywhere

^ pretty much hits the nail on the head

"this is an insult to music lovers everywhere "

i was going to qualify this choice. saying that it IS my favorite song on the album. i haven't listened to it in years, but it's still a decent song.

[Edited on April 14, 2006 at 7:26 PM. Reason : ^and you were what ten when that album came out?]

4/14/2006 7:25:29 PM

OMG 13 !!!!

4/14/2006 7:28:49 PM

weezer was the damn shit in middle school. what can i say?

[Edited on April 14, 2006 at 7:30 PM. Reason : not to mention, the rest of my list is good, no one's talking about that though.]

4/14/2006 7:29:16 PM

^^^what the hell does how old i was when the album came out have to do with anything??? its a timeless album in which i have probobly listened to a thousand times over the past 10 years, i dont think my age has anything to do with the perfection of that album

4/14/2006 7:31:22 PM

oh. so you guys like the album. . . oh. hahaha. hahahaha.

no really it's a decent album, but a little too middle school for me.

4/14/2006 7:33:24 PM

Sexx Laws from Midnite Vultures
Dry the Rain from Beta Band's 3 EPs
London Calling from London Calling
Welcome to the Jungle from Appetite for Destruction
Smells Like Teen Spirit from Nevermind

[Edited on April 14, 2006 at 7:39 PM. Reason : .]

4/14/2006 7:35:23 PM

^^you're joking right?

that album helped shape the sound of the best music that gets airtime today

i mean, thats one of those albums our kids will know about

[Edited on April 14, 2006 at 7:35 PM. Reason : `]

4/14/2006 7:35:36 PM

so i have to like it?

plenty of artists have influential or important albums. doesn't mean i haven't outgrown them. there are some good songs on that album. my favorite is my name is jonas. some of the songs suck. many better albums came out that year. just because they didn't reach as many people as the blue album doesn't mean that they are any worse.

also: i was gung-ho weezer through pinkerton and then i bought the green album at midnight and hated the fucking shit out of it. so i think that shaded my opinions of their whole body of work.

so, in short, no i'm not kidding. i no longer like the blue album very much. half the songs are utterly forgettable, the rest are pretty good.

4/14/2006 7:39:09 PM

its dismissive to say its "too middle school"

it would be on par with saying "the beatles are too cold war"

4/14/2006 7:42:20 PM

i think it's worthy of dismissing (to me at least)
i've moved on.

it's something i liked in middle school, and was at that level of my musical sophistication. i'd like to think i've grown in my tastes since then. some haven't. that's ok.

that is:
i'm not saying it belongs in the mid-90s, but that it appeals to 13 yo's.

[Edited on April 14, 2006 at 7:45 PM. Reason : grammar's a bitch]

4/14/2006 7:44:19 PM

not to mention, the beatles had more than two good albums.

4/14/2006 7:50:32 PM

keep digging boss

4/14/2006 7:53:27 PM

I'm pretty much gonna have to agree with sarijoul ten hundred per cent.

4/14/2006 7:56:11 PM

^^what in the hell am i digging? i actually contributed somethign to this thread, you're just trolling at this point.

so i don't like weezer. you do. move on. they are a band loved by wanna be emo high schoolers now. i'm sorry they didn't pan out with good new music. i really wish they had.

i liked pinkerton better when i still listened to them anyway.

so, 'foot, are there any first tracks that you think far outshine the rest of the album?

[Edited on April 14, 2006 at 7:56 PM. Reason : 57656]

4/14/2006 7:56:24 PM

id say most bone thugs albums the first track did a good job of gettin u into the album

4/14/2006 8:01:22 PM

how am i trolling

you're the one saying things like

Quote :

"i'd like to think i've grown in my tastes since then."

and

Quote :

"i'm not saying it belongs in the mid-90s, but that it appeals to 13 yo's."

and i've already made a couple suggestions

i'd offer "lapdance" but i'm sure someone would be all like "OMG BOBBY JAMES!"

4/14/2006 8:08:46 PM

ok. fair enough.

4/14/2006 8:10:06 PM

and if you were asking which tracks on the blue album i think are better

at the bare minimum

only in dreams
say it ain't so
undone

and to lesser extents

surf wax america
the world has turned

4/14/2006 8:13:29 PM

say it ain't so and undone are my other two favorites.

4/14/2006 8:14:09 PM

its an album chock full of amazing songs

and you're right the promise they showed out the gates should have led to an amazing career

4/14/2006 8:16:49 PM

I thought Hunted By a Freak was the best song off of Happy Songs for Happy people

and Freetime by Kenna off New Sacred Cow was the first real song on the album an was the best.

[Edited on April 14, 2006 at 8:32 PM. Reason : to end this weezer bitchfest]

4/14/2006 8:32:39 PM

Phantom planet - california

4/14/2006 8:58:20 PM

"Wouldn't it be nice"- Beach Boys, Pet Sounds
"I am trying to break your heart"- Wilco, YHF
"King of Carrot Flowers, pt. 1"-Neutral Milk Hotel, ITAOTS

4/14/2006 9:04:24 PM

those are all great songs, but i disagree with each one of those picks because of this statement:

"the rest of the album isnt up to par with the first track"

4/14/2006 9:06:45 PM

Quote :

"bloc party ~ 'like eating glass' from silent alarm"

NO.


"Banquet"
"She's Hearing Voices"
"Compliments"


all > Like Eating Glass


and that says a lot because "Like Eating Glass" is a strong fuckin track

4/14/2006 9:12:17 PM

Yeah, i disagree on pet sounds (sloop jon b ftw)

but that wilco track fucking smokes my speakers

oh shit

whats the first track of the sufjan cd with swans in the name?

thats a good fucking track

4/14/2006 10:04:59 PM

^ yeah, good call. "All the trees of the field will clap their hands."

4/14/2006 10:26:43 PM

Although for that album, I'm going to have to go with "Size too small" or "To be alone with you" over the first track

4/14/2006 10:30:13 PM

(i don't know the names, what track #s are you talking about?)

4/14/2006 10:35:22 PM

To Be alone with you - Track 4
Size too small- Track 7

4/14/2006 10:43:14 PM

oh yeah

if i had to pick other good songs off that cd

those would be two of them

4/14/2006 10:44:50 PM

"Submarine #2" The Starlight Mints The Dreams Stuff is Made Of
The first track of the Arcade Fire album was always my favorite too.

4/14/2006 10:51:38 PM

I like "God Only Knows" better, but that's a good song, too.
