Dark end of the street
Violet

I absolutely love every other single song with a freakish passion.

This thread has made me realise the sheer volume of frank stuff i can't put a name to the track for! Took me ages to even FIND solid gold in there... I need to listen to more frank! It's worrying that I could sing you the entire of 1826 bbut didn't know it was called that!

Skip list:
Horrible day
666
I don't want to hurt you (sometimes)
The man who was too loud (Although i just listened to this one all the way through and it's actually grown on me, so maybe i just need to listen to them nore)



Who said anything about carving you up, man?
I just wanted to carve a Z into your forehead...

85 Weeks is one of my faves, and I think the last four on TOTY make one of Frank's best sequences ever. Never did care for Whispering Weeds, 1826, and Tiny Heart. Not crazy about Fu Manchu or I Don't Want to Hurt You. I think Jane, The Queen of Love and Massif Centrale are overrated. Originally loved I Switched You but now sometimes skip it as too abrasive. Dark End of the Street is almost unlistenable, and Violet makes me wonder about Frank's intent.

So not 'every single time'?

I like what you did there.

Everything on Fastman Raiderman except the Honeycomb outtakes. The exception being the new version of "Kiss My Ring". Whoever removed the guitar from that needs a kick in the crotch. Oh wait, we already know who did that.

I can safely say, there was alot of songs on every single FB album i've listened to that i hated when i heard them first.
But after a few more plays of them, i love them.
EG Western star. I couldn't even listen to the intro what skipping the first few times. But now i love it.

Very suprising.

"sing for joy" is terrible, though. 1 - 5 - 6 - 4 progressions incite me to rage.

This kind of question really annoys me. And that in itself annoys me. I must have got out of the wrong side thismo. I am going to bite anyway.
If someone put a gun to my head and said "Which Frank Black song is your least favourite?" After much deliberation, my reply would be:
"You're safety is on! Kiai!"
I'm sure many of you are musicians, but if you tried playing any of those songs that you say you don't like and sang along they would grow on you and your opinion would change. Well, it did for me!
I'm just not a skipper.

I always thought that was the whole point. You get built up to a crescendo after repetition. I assumed that was some kind of auditory device or maybe even gimmick, but for me it works.

It always amazes me how many people criticize Blast Off and 1826. "Oh yeah, I love Frank Black and rock and roll but when he gives me the best 3-guitars solos that ever graced the surface of this planet I skip them." Have you all been brainwashed or what?




The problem with 1826 is not the 3-guitar solos, it's the 4 minutes before them...

Obviously everyone on this site loves Frank to pieces but I just thought this would be an interesting thing to discuss. You dont have to necessarily hate the songs, just suggest a couple of songs that haven't jumped out and bit you on the ass like the rest of his catalogue.
If someone put a gun to my head, I would have to say I've never liked

Freedom Rock
The Marsist
All My Ghosts
Atom in my heart

Now your turn


A pig or a goat well, they wouldn’t let you be mistreated





Man are you crazy? All those songs are great! Well the Marsist isn't that great, it's alright though. Anywho songs I don't care for:

The Vanishing Spies (it's okay, not one of my faves
Fiddle Riddle
I Could Stay Here Forever
The Hostest With the Mostest
The Last Stand of Shazeb Andleeb
I Switched You
I Think I'm Starting to Lose It
I Want Rock & Roll
Stupid Me
Jaina Blues
Dark End of the Street

Keep in mind the only songs I have heard of TCoR are The Marsist, Men in Black and The Last Stand. I also do not have BLD or DW. I have heard BLD and there were some songs I don't like of it, but I don't know what the hell they're called.


Skinner, you're an odd man, but you sure know how to steam a ham.
