View Full Version : The worst song from every album
Jonatan

If you had to choose one song from each album that would just disappear, which one would that be?
I'd say:
Forever Young - <can't find one>
Afternoons in Utopia - Fantastic Dream
The Breathtaking Blue - Middle of the Riddle
Prostitute - All in the Golden Afternoon
Salvation - Pandora's Lullaby

Fantastic Dream? Really? Wow, that's definitely one of my favorites. Anyway, for me:
FY: Big In Japan...yes believe it or not this song has really never done much for me.
AIU: perfect the way it is.
TBB:Middle of the Riddle
Prostitute: Beethoven
Salvation: oh I don't know. I really like all the songs on Salvation, but Flame is a little on the sappy side.
SLC: Today??
United: For The Sake of Love?
Dreamscapes: so many strange ones that haven't grown on me yet, maybe Montego Bay?
The future exists, first in Imagination, then in Will, then in Reality.
FY: I wouldn´t want any song to dissapear but I guess "In the mood" is my least favourite.
AIU: 20th Century (if you can call it a song? - it´s very short) If I can´t choose between the short IAO, 20th Century or Lady Bright I would have to say that again none of the songs are bad but I guess "Red Rose" is my least favourite.
TBB: Anyway
Prostitute: Parade or Euphoria
Salvation: Dangerous places
SLC: Peace on earth
United: For the sake of love

Difficult question but not too difficult to answer <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>!
FY: No one! Every song is simply fantastic!
AIU: Definitely NOT Fantastic Dream (one of my favourites!!!), but Red Rose
TBB: Middle Of The Riddle
SLC: Roll Away The Stone
PROSTITUTE: Ain't It Strange, maybe, it is the only song that is not as good as the others....
SALVATION: Difficult.... I would say.... No one! Perfect album - perfect band!
STARK NAKED: Perfect!
DREAMSCAPES: Definitely Montego Bay, terrible song but quite funny!

Sorry. I just cant do it <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
@ville - forever and ever.
FY : *No can do ( Jacky is soooo special ! )
AIU : Lady Bright
TBB : Patricia's Park ( no Marian )
Prostitute : Faith ( No Woman No Cry ??? )
Salvation : Control
SNAAL : Well, I like'm all, but I think that
the lyrics of Monkey are stupid ...
Worst song??? Are you out of your bloody minds? There is NO SUCH THING!! Haha...even the least liked songs I know of on these albums are great pieces of work to me..I just can't seem to do a worst here, cause in me mind worst means really bad, and none of them are really bad to me...they are all f**king awesome..I think I have too much of an artistic mind for this question and too much of an AV love I guess....Call me AVblinded....It's a good blind though..I am happy in this state of blindedness...
Slan,
Trent
FY; No way
AIU; Red Rose (uaaaack)
TBB; eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh...
Prostitute; Fools!!!!!!!!
Salvation; Moneky in the moon
DS 9; Moonboy

Hey Trent, you're right! But AV HAVE done some terrible songs, Marian said it in many interviews, he hates Universal Daddy, for example (I can't understand why *lol*).
The lyrics of Monkey In The Moon are REALLY stupid, but that has got a reason, they are the first lines of every page of Marians diary or something... He said it a long time ago... Can't exactly remember but I think he said something like that....
MC Morlock

03 Jan 2001, 19:03
but Marian hates UD for personal reasons.
it has nothing to do with the lyrics / music.
this topic is BAD !!!!
even Montego Bay is "sweet" in its own way.
it makes you think about AV as "little kids", when they just started.
Avihai : no one will ever say something about your dear Jacky :)
@ville - forever and ever.
Mrs.Picard
03 Jan 2001, 19:41
Yeah he hates UD for personal reasons. That's right. But he hates it and that's just the thing I wanted to say :)
Mr Gold can hate all the songs he likes, I love them all without fail...And Mr Gold Being an artist is going to hate some of the stuff he does..There are MANY of me songs that I just can't stand and kick meself for even writing them..so I understand his feelings in this..But to me they are all great works and I do not agree with him on UD..I loved UD...
Cruising in cocktailsssss,
Trent
But when I asked Marian why he don´t like UD he said that it was because of the lyrics.
I even have it on tape when he said that...

Trent : why do i feel like you and I are AV's defenders...?
it was you who supported me on SEE ME THRU, right?
@ville - forever and ever.
HeH!!! Alpha-X I am starting to get the same feeling here...That's ok I like that title "Alphaville Defender" I think I will have a shirt made up of that for meself..If I do, I will send one to you OK?

Mrs.Picard
04 Jan 2001, 11:36
That is strange but 2 years ago I was the AV - defender and the others attacked me <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>........
And now????
Hey I didn't want to start such a discussion if Marian likes UD not because of the lyrics or because of personal reasons (I think the lyrics ARE a personal reason, he wrote the song, or did he not... I would have to look.... *lol*). I only wanted to say that even Marian hates songs from AV.
MC Morlock
I agree with MC Morlock
Marian have told me several times that he wrote some songs that he doesn´t like anymore - everybody knows about Universal Daddy, right?
in any case - here´s my list:
FY: to germany with love
AIU: red rose
BB: middle of the riddle
Prostitute: some people
Salvation: spirit of the age
Dreamscapes: montego bay (NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS ONE!)
Stark Naked: new horizons (I never liked this song very much live)
So long celeste: roll away the stone
United: missionary

There is no problem.
I had to take the worst song on every album and i did. And if u have a album with just great songs u have to take some songs that u don't like so mutch from all the other.
And COSMO have never been a song for me....

OK. Here is my list:
FY - dont know
AIU - red rose
TBB - Middle of the riddle
P - Beethoven
S - Point of know return (sounds like an old Sandra (Cretu) song)
DS - Romance
SN - New horizons (I agree with Wii, the live version is not that good)
melloman
13 Jan 2001, 00:23
FY=no bad songs.
AIU=20th century. sorry, it just seemed out of place.
TBB=Ariana. The Middle of the riddle is a better song perceptually.
Prostitute=no bad songs, although I have to be a morose mood to hear "parade":it's still a good song.
SLC: I don't have it...
Salvation=no bad ones
United=no bad ones
Dreamscapes:Montego bay, and a few of the really rough versions from the first 2 albums. (Boy did the demos show how much they improved the songs in the studio!)I love what the songs became, but before they did some were ugly ducklings who became graceful swans.... As a musician I appreciate rough cuts.
Stark Naked=great all around.
The next one=time will tell.
S.M.I2.L.E! It makes people wonder what you're up to.
Andreas
14 Jan 2001, 13:00
Here is my list:
FY: The jet set (!!!)
AIU: 20th Century
TBB: Middle of the riddle
SLC: The shape of things to come (probably)
P: Some people
U: Soulman
S: Dangerous places
D: Carol Masters (I really love the version on AIU, but this one is much much less good)
SN: New Horizons (I agree with Magnus and Willy)
FH: Also The jet set (the album version is better, but the best version is the one on Dreamscapes (which also was on History))
@DDISON
20 Jan 2001, 00:57
Well it's my turn now !!!
- FY : No sorry !!
- AIU : Dance with Me

- Salvation :Spirit of the age
- SNAAL : No one !!
WHTC : A LOT !!! REALLY !!!but the WORST is The Nemo Project : "guardian Angel" !! Horrible !! sorry !
@DDISON

My list:
Forever Young: In The Mood
Afternoons: Red Rose
Breathtaking: Middle Of The Riddle

20 Apr 2001, 02:07
Hmmm,tough one this but here goes:-
Forever Young-theres no way in the world im gonna choose one off this,perhaps the run out groove after Jet Set,its not a song but its still part of the LP and it means that the needle is about to reach the end of the record.
AIU-Red Rose
TBB-Patricias Park,the song just doesnt sound like it belongs on there at all,but i always listen to it because i cant be bothered to get out of my seat to skip the needle to the next track.im not that keen on Summer Rain either but it has a Pink Floyd reference so it stays.
Prostitute-Fools,i just get bored with it.
Salvation-New Horizons,sorry but i think this is the only AV song that i think is absolutely awful,it seems to just go on and on without actually acchieving anything.
SLC-Today
United-Soulman
Dreamscapes-Big In Japan FFFTW Mix
DS9-Cant pick a song off an album that hasnt even been finished yet.
OK so i know i havent necessarily given the best reasons for my choices and i know a lot of time and effort has been put into creating these songs,but im afraid that not even AV are perfect.

If I were to chose...
...not from any album, but:
- Red Rose could have been beautyful but was just shallow
- Beethoven...urg!,
- Faith sounds veery shallow
- New horizons has never been my fav...
(spirit is not that great but has interesting lyrics)
- Apollo MUST disappear from SNAAL!!!!!!
so horribly abused!
- Concerning me, See me through does not have to appear on DS9!
"It`s you behind those legendary curtains"
well, here we go...;
FY: "Big in Japan" ..sooo fed up with that one...
AIU: "Red Rose" ...misses the spirituality and depth of the other great songs...
TBB: I just recently got it, can't name my faves and non-faves yet at this point...
P: Probably "Some People" ...a little boring.
SLC: "Roll away the Stone" ...I don't know, I'm just not digging it...
S: uff...I dunno, probably most "Spirit of The Age" ... I don't think the song has any point...
And no, I don't feel like I've broken my heart... no matter how much I'd dig a band.. I still always manage to find songs that I don't like (sometimes at all)...

AIU - UNIVERSAL DADDY (I just don´t like the feeling of this song, don´t know why)
TBB - PATRICIA´S PARK (Where´s Marian???)
PROSTITUTE - SOME PEOPLE (hmmm... not good)
SALVATION - CONTROL (Just boring)
SNAAL - A VICTORY OF LOVE (don´t like this live version, believe it or not)
This was not a pleasant thing to do.<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

I don´t really think that you should be ashamed that ub don´t like a few songs, even if we´re talking about AV.

Of course i respect your opinion, Ariana, but..... HHHHHHHAAAAAAA ?!? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
One more thing - PATRICIA'S PARK may seem boring but you should listen to this piece of art very carefully and imagine how hard it was for Bernd to play it with those 80's synths <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

"Patricia´s Park" is actually a dear Mr Echolette song.
Bernt had if nothing, very little to do with it. And the only reason why I think it´s the "worst" song on TBB is ´cause I miss Marian...

THERE ARE NO BAD SONGS ON FY!

Are you kidding? I can´t get tired of BIJ. You see, I´ve been listening to it for about seven years now. And I still feel the same way for it as ever... I just love it! I think it´s one of the best songs EVER in the world by any band. And yes, truly!
With all my love - I went into the world
Well, that's YOUR opinion...but I do still like it...

BIJ is the love of my life !!! <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>
I was in love with this song years before i knew AV... <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
It has a very special meaning to me - not just a hit !
Speaking of IN THE MOOD - check out what Marian says during the end of the song (from the live DVD) : "Jackie, are you still beating your wife ? Its not very nice....."
Haaaa ?!?!? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I've always liked BIJ too, when I was a kid I was overjoyed when I heard it on the radio, and back then it wasn't because of the fact that it is "AV"... but still there was something about "SLAM" that gave me the feeling that you have and have had with "BIJ"... actually very similar to it, as I've read your story about it...:)

So what about "patricia´s park". I mentioned that one earlier. As the worse song of TBB.
With all my love - I went into the world
I'm not joking .. i never liked these songs ...
the new jet set from forever pop is great and the demo-version on dreamscapes 7 ...
the others songs i listed are too tralala in my eyes ... not deep enough (i don't speak about lyrics) ...

I don't like the instrumental songs of AV. I don't know why, the have got no message for me because there are no lyrics....
russharvey
29 Nov 2001, 15:26
just because their is no lyrics doesn't mean their isn't a message.... music, just by the way it is played or the sounds that are created can convey many emotions... perhaps the trick with instrumentals is to listen and see how it makes you feel.... this emotional response is connected with the message that the creator was trying to communicate when he made the music. Make sense?
***This life is expensive, but at least it comes with a free trip around the sun!***

Well, this was the closest I could get to a 'worst song' topic, seeing as I have no idea whatsoever from which albums the songs come from, but from the few songs I've heard, I've gotta say 'Ariana' is the worst. The lyrics are kinda funny, but otherwise it's pretty useless IMHO. Too much "Hey, let's try to be really funny and lets fail miserably".
Just my 0.02$ worth

Hello! "Lady Bright" and "IAO" is the same song! "IAO" takes a start where "Lady Bright" ends:
Lady Bright:
There was a young lady named Bright,
who´s speed where much faster,
much faster then light.
She departed one day in a relative way
And returned on the previous...
IAO:
...night.

hey ho Ariana! I've never came to think about that! Now when you say that, it's obvious, but I never ever noticed that!! Gosh...thanx pal :)...now I feel a bit wiser <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>...

Yes Micki. You are absolutely right. The Phoenix is the symbol for imortality. He rises from the ashes, back to life, every fivehundred years.
I think that the song "Apollo" is sort of connected to the Phoenix.
With all my love - I went into the world
Yes, I think so too
"And I shall rise from the ashes, grow like a rose from the ruins..."
...there, the rising from your own ashes, starting a new life, as well as in "AIU", the circle goes on...

What do you mean Adi...?? "Pink Floydish"...in which way?..
"the Child of the new Season"
The thing is that Apollo was written as a start for AV´s new era or something... the song before on that album was the end of their old era.
~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~
it was around the same time as they released "First harvest" (two years after <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>)...
...something to do with that perhaps...?
"the Child of the new Season"
but first harvest was still not their choise, so I don´t think that it has something to do with the new era
~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~
maybe they thought about marking the start of a new era a couple years after "First Harvest"...even if they wouldn't have wanted to do it...??

Its such a PINK FLOYD thing to start a song and make us think that it ended but then comes another part.....
Like SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND - parts 1-5 appear as the first track while parts 6-9 appear as the last track......
Confusing, isnt it ?
I've started to like PINK FLOYD very much lately and i've noticed the resembling to AV's songs like :
Euphoria, On The Beach and now this thing with IAO / Lady Bright.....
What do you think ?

So what you´re saying is that "Euphoria" was the end of the old era of AV?
Really interesting... If you listens to the lyrics it really makes sence:
ship is leaving right on time
empty harbour, wave goodbye
evacuation of the isle
caveman's paintings drowning
famous last words on the air
i stay here and you are there
while our city softly sinks
cavemen's paintings drowning
I think that it could symbolize the end of something...

@Adi: OK, now I get it, thanx for taking the time to explain :)
@Ariana/Avil: I can't say more than that I agree with you guys...
"the Child of the new Season"
I think that it was like this that Av felt that they had experimentet enough with their music, at least at that point.
Going thru the easy album FY, the album of phantasy AIU, the mixed album TBB and then, the last one the dark and realistic album Prostitute! With Euphoria they wanted to say, thanks for the past, now we will analyze what we have done, and try if we can make something good out of this.
And then Salvation came...

Never thought of that. But it really an interesting point of view. Is it your own theory or have AV said that somewhere?

maybe "Salvation" was 'salvation' indeed...after years of changing styles and different ideas...I don't know, this is one of those days that you can't explain anything well and it feels like my thoughts wouldn't be running at all...ARGH I hate it...but I hope you still got my stupid point

Ariana Dreamer
14 Jan 2002, 15:43
I´ve always seen "Salvation" as a form of reincarnation... But I think it´s quite a paradox, could the beginning of a new era be a reincarnation? It doesn´t make sence...
With all my love - I went into the world
yeah, so many people have said thet Salvation is like FY...so that Salvation would be FY in a way...the FY of AV:s next era, and that the era would be like a new "life" in it's own way...reincarnation
"the Child of the new Season"
Well, that´s my theory...
but not that Euphoria was the goodbye past song, AV said that once.
~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~
They did!? Well...I never thought about eternal goodbye, even it was a kind of a goodbye-song...just like you said, it seemed more like a goodbye to the past era AV left behind...

(Euphoria= fooled conscienceness which sick and old people experience, where they feel a sudden wellbeing, despite of their sickness)
With all my love - I went into the world
Edited by - Ariana Dreamer on 15 Jan 2002 10:18:32
well...maybe AV felt old and grumpy <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> after 10 yrs. of recording...but they felt overwhelming joy because of the end of the old era, that they decided to name the song 'Euphoria'...?? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
...but I've never understood Euphoria as a especial feeling old people have...I've always thought it's just an extaticly unreal feeling that anyone can have...like for example lovers that have just found each other...tha's how I'd describe the feeling "euphoric"...
"the Child of the new Season"
Ariana Dreamer
15 Jan 2002, 11:17
yeah. me too micki, for me euphori is exactly how you described it... but I once told a friend that I felt "euphoric", she looked at me very funny and said that I wasn´t sick nor old, so I couldn´t be "euphoric". then i looked it up... and yes the original meening of that word is like I said... but nowadays maybe it´s used differently...
With all my love - I went into the world
There are two defintions of "Euphoria" the one you are saying and this one:
Euphoria n : a feeling of great (usually exaggerated) elation
"When I close my eyes, I see my soul...When I open them, I see yours"...

Back to the topic: For the moment I´m really tired of Guardian Angel!! It´s the worse song of Salvation. It´s really stupid actually... Boooh!!
I give in to sin - Because I like to practice what I preach
for me it's "Wishful Thinking" at the moment...just can't stand that song *bites her hat*
"the Child of the Night"
Poor salvation!!
In the beginning I didn´t like Monkey in the moon, but after a couple of years I have found out that salvation is perfect. No bad song at all.

well...I like the lyrics on NH, but the melody is a bit annoying I think..and yes, I agree, Marian sounds a bit like Bono in that song...
"the Child of the Night"
I´ve never thought of that, but I don´t think I can agree. Bono has a very special voice, so does Marian, and their way of singing isn´t close in this song.

I really LOVE Bono´s voice, it´s incredible!
Both him and Marian has beautiful and unique voices. And in someway they are quite alike but still far from eachother. A paradox? Yes quite... As Bono would have said: "Far away (so close)"
I think that NH is a very beautiful song, as I said before. One of the strongest on Salvation. How can you don´t like a song which the forum is partly named after!:)
I give in to sin - Because I like to practice what I preach

SLC: "Sweet Needles of Success"
SNAAL: The ballad version of "Dance With Me"
I agree with you on "Some People", but I totally disagree with the last two songs. [bigeyes] They are among my all-time favourites!
"Sweet Needles Of Success" is so full of bitterness and frustration, it seems to me very autobiographic and is sung so intensely. Great!
The same here with the ballad version of "Dance With Me". One of the best sung live performances I've ever heard!
I find it very difficult to chose a "worst" song, sometimes it just depends on my mood ...
Dance With Me Ballade is amazing live.
Only Martin and Marian on stage. That is a moment for eternity.
I also LOVE "Life Is King."

Out of that whole list of yours, "Needles" is probably the only one I'd say. But that's no knock on anyone who likes it. Maybe there's just something about it I'm not quite appreciating yet. Some songs tend to grow on some of us, so with a little time, maybe it will grow on me, too.

Giving "United" a listen for the first time, and so far so good. "Soulman" is a little hard to hear, but I think I'm in the early going here.

The Worst:
FY: none! best album ever made, may i ask more? (No song is boring on this album, though truth be told i never cared to much for BIJ)
AIU: Lassie Come Home (A really boring, lyrically interesting, but it is such a musical nuisance)
TBB: Middle Of The Riddle ( I hate jazz music, plus the chorus is kinda weird.)
Prostitute: Fools!!!! (Hate this song, liked it at first but i swear to god i still to this day cant believe it was released as a single)
Salvation: Life is king, New Horizons ( Life is King is a extremely boring piece with such a hidden chorus; NH is a bit boring as well, not to mention the chorus is kinda annoying)
DreamScapes: Recycling (What kinda song is this!!! Or is it even a song??)
Now the Best!!
FY: Forever Young ( Greatest song ever written; SLAM is musically the greatest song ever made)
AIU: Dance With Me ( I like the starting riff, and then powerful chorus)
TBB: Romeos ( I really like the chrous and the song; though i hate the album alot)
Prostitute: The Impossible Dream, Some People ( TID is the Best love song ever, and i feeled embarrassed but i kinda like Some People it gives you a kind of feeling of revenge like WT)
Salvation: Flame, Control ( Flame is obviousley a powerful attempt by AV to recreate the spirit of FY, Control is a actually really cool song, I really enjoyed the high-speed proggression in the song and the synths are ass-kicking cool!!!!!!![smoke]
DreamScapes: Definetly Sounds Like A Melody Demo 1 (The synths are so raw and you can feel the electricity in them!! really cool, but it kinda lacks musically at the end unlike in the FY version)
I know the list is long, but i could not just write down it in a few words.

They're not the full versions of the songs, but you should at least get the general idea. As for most of the songs, you'll find a good chunk on DS 6-8, with "For the Sake of Love" on CS (DS11).
Take a listen, compare, see what you think.

DS1: Dream Machine
DS2: Carol Masters demo

DS4: Nothing! Even "Mercury Girl" is a fun one!
DS5: The End (Isn't bad, really...)
DS6: ???
DS7: Recycling, but like DS3, getting used to it.
DS8: Montego Bay
CS1/DS9: None
CS2/DS10: Crazyshow, but trying to let it grow on me
