Gave you a Like, I can see that as the do-without choice from "Pageant."
Mine is "What If We Give It Away?"
Blonde on Blonde. For some reason the last track, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands just doesn't ever hit with me. It's not even a bad song...it maybe works if it's shorter.
Alice in Chains/Jar of Flies/Swing on This - just a stupid song to close out a damn near perfect album
Megadeth/Rust in Peace/Poison was the Cure - not a completely horrible song, just a super forgettable song

Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street (Turd on the Run)
Replacements - Tim (Lay It Down, Clown)
Counting Crows - August & Everything After (Ghost Train)

Me too. I feel bad saying anything bad about that album because it's so, so good. But agree on both.
'These Days' might be my favorite REM song.

"These Days" is high on my REM favorites list. And it follows my favorite REM album-opener, "Begin the Begin." (There is a some competition for runner-up in that category).
"I Believe," also from LRP, I rank higher than each of those. "Just a Touch" is on my underrated-REM list.
Yes: The Yes Album- The Clap. Its not bad but a live acoustic instrumental stuck on the middle of Yours Is No Disgrace, Starship Troopers, and I've Seen All Good People just doesn't work.
Ironically the throwaway song on Pet Sounds (Beach Boys) is Pet Sounds. The rest of it is pretty beautiful stuff.
I like Night and the rest of the album but get bored listening to Meeting Across the River.
I was thinking I could do this for about their first 5 albums. They are all so close to perfect with one or two that are a quick nope.
That one in particular has stuck out for me too.
I'll agree with this.
Begin the Begin is a terrific opener. I'd probably list both Life's Rich Pageant and Automatic for the People in my top 10, maybe top 5 favorite albums of all time.
I actually like Mother better than Miss Gradenko...but yeah, nearly perfect record.
I think some of you are not answering what the original post was asking and were just naming your favorite album
Probably the other 'weaker' song on the album but it's short and tells an interesting story. But I get where you're coming from.
