So, you're a devoted fan of singer/band X. You've bought all their singles/albums/picture discs/posters/CDs/downloads and you've been to a few gigs. You "heart" that particular artiste; you've possibly followed them from day one and consider yourself "a big fan".

However, is there one song of theirs that you really don't like?

It's no secret that I am a big fan of Madness. Ever since I first heard "The Prince" on the wireless back in 1979, I've been hooked. I probably have everything they've ever recorded in one format or another and I've seen them live a good few times. I love Madness.

I could, for example, listen to "The Prince" all day, on a repetitive loop. No problem.

But if "Baggy Trousers" pops up on my iPod, I hit "next" as quickly as possible.

I can't stand the track. Hate it.

What makes it worse is that "Baggy Trousers" is the one track that "people" usually quote when you happen to mention that you're a big fan of Madness, and they usually do it in a horrible mockney accent - "Oh, yeah, Baggy Traaaazers!"

If "Baggy Trousers" could somehow be removed from Madness' back catalogue and never be mentioned or played ever again, I would be happy.



Is it just me? Any other big fans that find one of their hero's tracks annoying?

Odd you should mention madness. Embarrassment came on my iPhone in the car on shuffle. So stuck on the whole greatest hits album smile


Mine would be triviums - the anthem.

Love all the other songs from every album. But that one just annoys me so much!

Any songs with WOAHHHS can happily be discounted from an artists repetoire.

Radiohead - Creep

It is so far away from why I like the band. To me it is just a bog standard angsty quiet verse-loud chorus rock song for American radio and far from their creative peak, yet still their best known hit amongst a lot of people!

Indeed, and 'YEAAAH' has the same effect.

And the whole of Muse' last album. Didn't get on with it at all. Especially united states of urasia.

I read this thread title and thought about a few bands that I love and can't come up with one song. Eg: The Smiths. I love every single song that they ever made, even the instumentals!

I'm going to start another thread, heavily influenced by this one

I'm with you. Out of every track they ever recorded thats on my iPod, there's not a single bad track. Not even an average one.
