Given that these are all good songs, are there any that never quite did it for you that made it to the GH CD? And Real Love doesn't count.

For me:
Disarm
BWBW

don't need to flame me for this one, i really want to know which, and why

You asked why, but you didn't provide an answer why yourself!

Disarm always did, and still, seems really out of place on the record. I can't help but feel that they just wanted to throw an orchestral piece in. Interestingly, they don't play it very much post SD when touring.

BWBW just reminds we way too much of MTV and commercialism. I must admit though, that I do like this song now, unlike disarm, which I still don't dig.

Disarm always did, and still, seems really out of place on the record. what's this got to do with it as a single?


Interestingly, they don't play it very much post SD when touring. interestingly untrue!


BWBW just reminds we way too much of MTV and commercialism. I must admit though, that I do like this song now so why did you list it??

and why disallow the singles that aren't on Rotten Apples? incredible statement.

Probably Perfect for me, too wimpy of a song I guess.

interestingly untrue!

:rofl:

I'd say "Iam One" thats when they sold out.

I liked them pre-'86, they sold out around 87.

"Out of place" is my opinion, and Today and Cherub Rock got a lot more live play than Disarm later on. Also, I say GH, because I don't want to count even the weakest promo efforts like I of the Mourning and Daphne Descends as singles.
I mean the mainstream singles.

make this a poll you motherfucker

I guess I would throw in Rocket and Try,Try,Try as well, but not batman.

Today, possibly.

Or maybe Eye.

Alright, I polled it, unfortunately, I could only do 12 singles. So I left out Rhino and SIYL.
Also i just now realized 33 isn't on GH. What BS!!
Also, I added I am One, for any @ssholes who happen to be haters as well.

rocket

"Out of place" is my opinion way to totally miss the point!


Today and Cherub Rock got a lot more live play than Disarm later on. i guess Hitler wasn't a bad guy since Stalin killed more people!

(or vice versa, if you like)

Try, Try, Try. Although the b-side 'Here's To The Atom Bomb' kicks ass.

make this a poll you motherfucker

Indeed, I was a little surprised to find out this isn't a poll after reading the topic-title.
It would make the complete thing a bit more clear. :think:

TEITBITE or Eye or everlasting gaze (Everlasting gays)

Try try try is the worst single... 'Pop tart' ...what were you thinking Billy?

Definitely Eye.

ava adore - i've always felt it was the odd one out on adore. and i don't really like it. there.

BWBW, only cause i've heard it so much i dont actually pay attention to it anymore.

I feel the same way about BWBW and also Today, but I still figure they're better songs than Eye. I haven't listened to Eye in years so I could be wrong.

Siva.

eye is really good

I'm sure it's better than I give it credit for. I'm going to listen to it later today.

i, fan of truth, love them all, with my heart.

Thirty-Three. I don't remember if it was on Rotten Apples or not, but it definitely should count either way. I really don't think it was the best song to release considering the roll the band was on commercially at the time. There were so many songs on MCIS that the MTVers would have eaten up back then.

i've never liked Zero,personally, i don't know why other than the drums sound sort of repetitive.

try, try, try

Everlasting Gays

eye sucks the big one

for the trytrytry video read PRE-TEN-TIOUS, plus it's an album track

for the trytrytry video read PRE-TEN-TIOUS,
yes, because it was very extravagant and overblown :erm:

Pretentious in what sense?

Perfect

Pretentious in what sense?

OK, pretentious was maybe incorrect. I know some people find it moving, but it just left me cold personally + I rarely watch it as a consequence. Just listening to the album track (initially one of my favourites off of Machina) I had always interpreted the lyrics as a loose metaphor for the collapse of the band. To me, the song seemed wedged into the directors' concept. I'd have preffered maybe a montage approach to the video, like with thirty-three.

Hope I've explained my thoughts on this clearly enough ;)

Oh, and to all you ignorant fucks who negetive rep without posting - blow me.

the video ruined try for me. but ill hafta say 33. they kicked jimmy to the curb when they shoulda used muzzle.

yes, because it was very extravagant and overblown :erm:


it was a big "artsy" moment that didn't really do to well.

they could have at least cast d'arcy for the role.

try try try was/is so awful. The video sucks too. what a terrible way to go out.
