Some of my fave songs in that list.
Frog in the Sand list is closer to my taste, but... Pistolero???
You're joking.

Or he is joking, or he has been drinking, although I think drinking isn´t an excuse...

Thanks Xavier, I thought I was getting insane! But how can someone say anything bad about Massif central ???

I made a version of my first mix for a work mate including Massif Central, so I guess it is my fave FB song at the moment...

I think criticism can be cool.

My worst of:
Hang On To Your Ego (dodgy production)
Every time I go round here
Old Black Dawning
Punk Rock City
Mosh, don't pass the guy! (though Adventure and resolution blows my mind)
Back To Rome
You're Such A Wire
Stupid Me
Hermaphroditos
Black Letter Day
Whispering Weeds
When Will Happiness Find Me Again?

but I would still listen to an album of this over any other band.

I think it has been established many times before on this forum how very different our musical tastes are. Someone's favorite song is someone else's least favorite and vice-versa.
I think hWolsky is drunk or maybe he (she?) is on something else.
I think this is not a pointless post. It's just a discussion. Why do so many people here recieve every bit of criticism with such anger?

That's a good question Lady... One cannot blame a snake for being cold but one can blame people for being passionate. I personnaly am really into Frank Black and I laud his musical 'exploits' everywhere I can... This is a different place where everybody is supposed to love Mr Black's work and like in every such places (kind of shrines dedicated to an entity, often abstrct)you will find many reasons to doubt about your own faith... I watch this forum for one year now and I noticed a few things... My experiment prove that those few things are true...
May god forgive them all, they don't know... what do to... lol
It's time for me to get back from where I belong... But watch out... I'll be always around... If U knew...

Ahhh, nothing like a bit of perspective, is there? Choosing the lesser songs of a favourite artist is SO like deciding which of your children to kill?

I do hope not!

New version of Nimrods Son
In Heaven (crappy song but funny)

Those two the only Frank Black songs I disslike. There are a few which I think are just ok.

I'm with you adda flea... I really like "Your such a wire." I also like 21 reasons because of the word images and it is I think it is fun to play acoustically and sing along with.

Aaaagh Velvety how can any song with the line 'I like that lemur I lick it' be on anyone's worst-of list?

--

Moving from the clown to the jester will mean moving from similar to same, from alike to identical, from comparable to analogous. Though applied differently, the colours used on one can be used on another, and a couple of changes of costume will rapidly transform the jester into a clown and the clown into a jester. Strictly speaking, they almost duplicate each other as regards clothes and function, the only difference between them, from a social point of view, is that clowns do not usually visit the palaces of kings.

Amen. That's Velvety.


I've never liked Goodbye Lorraine or Hate Me. Boy, it sure does feel good to get that off my chest. Good bye

Just to clarify--simply naming a list of songs you don't like is not "criticism". Criticism would be explaining why you don't like them in some form of detail.

Not that I have anything wrong with someone listing their least favorites, but you can't really defend it in the name of criticism.

Guess mine would be
Brackish Boy
Mosh, Don't Pass the Guy
666
Steak and Sabre
You're Such a Wire
Black Ryder


It'd be an EP I reckon.

I fail to see anything good in You're Such a Wire. The lyrics are awful (come on! "Full of it" rhymes with... "full of it"!), the melody is really bad (the high notes on "even YOU at TIMES must get tired" make me cringe), the drums sound dull and uninspired and the other catholics have nothing interesting to play. The song is either too slow or too fast, I don't know. I sound mean but I really, really hate it. Mind you, that makes 1 bad song and 300+ amazing ones, so I guess it's no big deal if I diss that one.

This thread is a joke. Calistan??? Give me a break. Anyone who hates Calistan isn't a Frank fan, and hwolsky is, therefore this thread is a joke ( but its a funny one). Sometimes its just a matter of time till a frank song infests your head and you gotta hear it. I owned Pistolero for two years before I liked anything from it. I'm not sure if it ever left my cd player for the next year.

Apologies to Frank if he reads this, and to anyone else who bizarrely decides to take offence on his behalf.

Frank is my single favourite artist of all time.

But "Build High", the B-Side of Planet of Sound, really, really sucked.

I'm betting he's over it.

There are not many Frank songs that I dislike but these the few:

1826
Massif Centrale (can't see what the fuss is about... first bit is great then it gets boring)
Hang Onto Your Ego (only crap song off of the first album)
Stupid Me
Fields of Marigold

Thats about it really

I love Fields Of Marigold. I love, love, love it. I love Massif Centrale too. Every morning at 8 I hear the weather forecast on the radio and everytime the guy says "cloudy/sunny/stormy on the Massif Central" I scream "YEAH! That's the sign..." and it makes my day. Every day for the last 2 years.

My least favorites:
Pure Denizen
Do You Feel Bad About It
Tiny Heart
You're Such A Wire
Smoke Up
Black Letter Day
Are You Headed My Way

Can't say I don't like them though, except the 3 from Pistolero.
