How about the theme tune to Pugwall by Orange Organics? Name another one of their songs, I dare you.

Blood on the Ground? It's got a great groove to it. But yeah, I've been listening to Incubus again recently. Musically they're great, but the lyrics are painful. Generally speaking, if I enjoyed something I tend to not stop liking it, I might not like it as much but I'll still enjoy a listen. But Incubus are one of the few bands I used to really like, that I now find hard to listen to. It's just so cringe inducing to me now, and it's mostly down to the vocals and lyrics. (I can actually pinpoint the moment I started to cringe; it was the track Are You In?) For me it’s Feeder. I was a big fan in the Echo Park/Comfort In Sound era. It’s almost all terrible. |

I like 4’33’’ by John Cage but his other stuff is rubbish - totally different style Not sure if this fell flat because it was at the bottom of the page, or because no-one got the reference, but it was a good joke dammit! 4’33’’ by John Cage is that experimental performance where the orchestra just sits in silence for four and a half minutes, so of course it’s not like his other stuff  |

hedben I'm ashamed to say I didn't get the reference! I still think it's a good joke, even though you had to explain it

In keeping with the original question posed, for me it’s What a Beautiful Day by Levellers. I don’t even know if it’s a good song, I associate it with very formative moments of my youth and I can’t hear it without a visceral emotional reaction, but my head has decided it’s a masterpiece, despite finding the band mostly quite dull.

The Mars Volta, seemed so cool when I was 20, but now realise they're an just an embarrassing, wiggy, high-budget jam band and my mate was right when he said Sparta were better. |

Hah, De-Loused in the Comatorium definitely got a ton of playtime in my youth too.
Still give At The Drive In the odd listen, particularly Arcarsenal.

Neither band could hold a candle to At the Drive-In for me, but I liked them both in different ways - the self-indulgent nuttiness of The Mars Volta, and the strait-laced earnestness of Sparta.

At the Drive In were truly one of the worst live performances I've ever seen, oh my god. I couldn't believe it, everyone left in droves after a couple of songs.

Original run, or reunion era?

Deloused still gets a listen here, everything else was chuff though. In Casino Out is the only decent Drive In album

This was 2019, so very soon after the reunion and everyone was so pumped to see them in the UK finally. |

cubby I can see why that might've been a bad show - their heyday was arguably 2000-2001, when I (stupidly) passed up a chance to see them at a small venue in Leeds while they were touring Relationship of Command. Almost two decades later, I'm not surprised they'd lost their touch!

They were always one of those bands where there was the potential that they’d do so much wigging out onstage that the songs became unrecognisably mangled to the point where they essentially weren’t being played anymore.
There’s a real dividing line from friends who saw them back then on whether the shows were astonishingly thrilling or completely unlistenable.
Also see: And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead during their early 00s wreck the stage phase.

Heh, I saw Trail of the Dead three times during their Source Tags/Worlds Apart era and loved every single gig.
Thankfully they mostly stuck to the Source Tags stuff as Worlds Apart was a bit pants (to put it mildly).

Can’t remember any others from it now though. It is kind of tough to follow something like Source Tags and Codes though. What an album that was. |

It is a bit sad that after 'A Girl Like You' blew up that the album, 'Gorgeous George', is so slept on. Its genuinely very good. Please enjoy this absolute banger about lame wussrock: Never heard this before and it’s right up my street. I’ll give the album a go, but that sound is exactly one of my things. |

Two total guilty pleasure songs:
'Don't Stop Believin'' by Journey
'Sister Christian' by Night Ranger
I should hate this shit, I really should. I should roll my eyes and reach for the 'off' button on whatever device happens to be playing the songs in question...
... So why do I want to play air guitar instead?!

Because the first one has always been a banger, even before glee(?) found it.

I don't think metallic hardcore is most people's thing here, but Knocked Loose really grate on me because I just find Bryan Gariss's angry-Spongebob style vocals quite annoying, but I do like really the track "Suffocate". I think it's because Poppy does guest vocals so I'm not having to listen to Gariss's screeching quite so much and when he is doing his thing they aren't quite as obnoxious as they are in other tracks. (I find Poppy's screaming much more palatable for some reason). youtu.be/RAuuVY__KQ0?si=Ic9oToXbPz6WBI8U |
