Worst song on each album

[Uncleskinny]

The Smiths - What Difference Does It Make - too samey for me.
Meat Is Murder - Barbarism Begins At Home - tough call this one, they're all good.
The Queen Is Dead - The Boy With The Thorn In His Side - not one of Johnny's more complex songs.
Strangeways Here We Come - Death At One's Elbow - does it mean anything to anyone other than Morrissey?
Viva Hate - I Don't Mind If You Forget Me - Morrissey by numbers.
Kill Uncle - The Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye - what was he thinking?
Your Arsenal - We'll Let You Know - slow burner.
Vauxhall & I - sorry, can't pick a duffer off this album.
Southpaw Grammar - Again, can't pick a duffer.
Maladjusted - He Cried.
You Are The Quarry - America Is Not The World - poor opener.
Ringleader Of The Tormentors - The Father Who Must Be Killed - where's the tune?
Years Of Refusal - Sorry Doesn't Help - clod-hopping.

It's painful to do this, but I have cherry yogurt and time on my hands:

The Smiths - Pretty girls make graves
Meat Is Murder - Well I wonder
The Queen Is Dead - Frankly, Mr. Shankly
Strangeways Here We Come - Death At One's Elbow
Viva Hate - Little Man, what now?
Kill Uncle - The Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye
Your Arsenal - Tomorrow
Vauxhall & I - The Lazy Sunbathers
Southpaw Grammar - The Teachers Are Afraid Of The Pupils
Maladjusted - Wide to receive
You Are The Quarry - All The Lazy Dykes
Ringleader Of The Tormentors - To me you are a work of art
Years Of Refusal - Mama lay softly...

Well, well, well... I found YATQ and YOR the hardest... "You seriously ask me for a song I dislike from this album?? "
... I wasn't really aware of that before...

[ganglord in ny]

Sorrow will come in the end has got to be the worst Moz song period imo...idk theres lots of albums without any bad track, i meen come on its Moz duh

 

[skull]

Re: Worst song on each album...

Is there any doubt this is the worst song on the album!? An absolutely cringe inducing number... "Ganglord" would have been a far better track...

"The father who must be killed" is a fantastic song with a fantastic story. The worst on ringleader is "I just want to see the boy happy": HORRIBLE!

 

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

Re: Worst song on each album...

Ooh. This is pretty hard. A lot of these I don't strongly dislike or feel aren't that bad perse, but don't really interest me to listen to and are quite weak.

The Smiths- 'Miserable Lie'
Meat Is Murder- 'Barbarism Begins At Home', although there are many from this album I don't listen to much as the intros and outros go on for far too long.
The Queen Is Dead- 'Never Had No-one Ever'
Strangeways, Here We Come- 'Death At One's Elbow'. Just...no.

Viva Hate- 'Bengali in Platforms' would have to be the song I skip the most from here. I used to love it, and I still have phases where I get the urge to listen to it, but it's started to bore me now.
Kill Uncle- 'Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye'
Your Arsenal- 'You're The One For Me, Fatty'. Nice jaunty melody, very catchy, but doesn't do much for me at all.
Vauxhall and I- Hmmm. Hard one, but it would have to be 'The Lazy Sunbathers'. I can take or leave it really.
Southpaw- 'Dagenham Dave'. Moz threw this one away a bit I feel, it could have done with less repetition.
Maladjusted- 'Sorrow Will Come In The End'. It's good for the occasional listen when I myself am in a ranty bitter mood, but mostly it just makes me cringe.
You Are The Quarry- 'America is Not The World'. I must admit it has a great melody, and again, I used to really like it, but the lyrics are not great.
Ringleader of the Tormentors- This is overall quite a consistent album in terms of quality, but I'm not too fussed about 'I Just Want To See The Boy Happy'. No particular reason, it just doesn't do anything for me.
Years of Refusal- YOR is actually one of my favourite Morrissey solo album, but 'One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell' is quite weak imo.
