Rolling Stone's 25 greatest songs off bad albums

Which doesn't surprise me much as it comes from Rolling Stone.

Here's two U2 albums and two U2 songs that Rolling Stone should considering adding to that list.

- 'Stay (Faraway So Close)' from Zooropa
- 'Please' from Pop

Now considering that Rolling Stone has a personal affair with U2, they can't say anything bad about them.[/QUOTE]

Because David Gilmoure isn't a talented composer, He's a good guitar player but should leave the music to someone else. I mean the dude needed help to write the lyrics. It deserves bashing and insults the legacy of the Barrett led Pink Floyd and the Waters led Pink Floyd.[/QUOTE]

I agree that Gilmour is not particularly a great lyricist (at least not in the league of Waters).

But, C'mon! The guy is a brilliant composer! I own his 3 solo efforts and many of those songs could have fitted perfectly into a great Pink Floyd album.

Sadly with Pink Floyd things got to the point where once Roger Waters came up with a concept, he would hardly allow anyone's contribution to make changes to the album. 'The Final Cut' although a very good album is more a solo album than a Pink Floyd album.

"I also agree that Ghost of Tom Joad is a worse album than Human Touch, but Human Touch was bad.

Both Human Touch and Lucky Town had good songs that were really poorly produced and played. Give Bruce a mulligan, pick the 12 best and rerecord those songs with the E-Street band you'd have a classic"


Yes, you make some good points there. Of the two I think Lucky Town is much the superior because the production was less "icy"- it had a grittier, rougher edge and the songs sound more alive. Better Days, Living Proof and Beautiful Reward are as good as any stuff he wrote. Human Touch does sound very dry which is why I prefer the versions from the Plugged live album. Man's Job sounds better for a start, but certainly the E Street band would have helped even if he was after a simpler sound they could have adapted. I gues it was death by session player competence.

14. “Big Love” off Fleetwood Mac’s Tango In the Night[/QUOTE]

Even though "Little Lies" and "Seven Wonders" scored much higher in the charts? This album also contained another single, "Everywhere".

That's a balmy choice by Roling Stone. From what I've read heard and read, "Tango In The Night" was a good eighties pop/rock album. Everywhere is one of the loveliest songs I've ever heard.

I agree

I'm not a big fan of Fleetwood Mac, but 'Tango In The Night' was a great combination of 80s rock with the classic Fleetwood Mac sound from the 70s.

Once again these morons from Rolling Stone are talking out of their asses.

I think most people have better memories of it live rather than the album version. It has a nice riff running through it.

Well it can be a bit of a tour de force at times... I do think Pete's gotten better at it lately.
