Question Good songs on otherwise bad albums

I'm in the mood for downloading a few tracks...

Can anyone recommend some good individual songs for download, even if the rest of the album strinks?

Generally if I like a few songs from an album I'd rather just buy the CD and be done with it.

So, let's have it - 3 maximum per person...

Mogwai -Auto Rock (IMHO the only good song on Mr Beast, but what a great song.)

id go with Sonic Youth as the worst. never heard nyc ghosts and flowers. but being a band's worst album doesnt make it inherently bad.

I may just give the both a listen sometime soon and see for myself. I actually haven't listened to that band for ages, I never did really.

rather ripped is great. could use more noise, but it's fine without it.

'experimental..' is my least fav, but i like it.
