Oh great, now the word "filler" has entered into this already useless debate.

Can somebody define "filler" for me? Every time I see it used on MB it seems to mean "song I don't personally like".
There's no way that Stone Roses or Pixies used "filler" to pad either of these albums to support a couple hits. For sure, Frank Black made every last one of his songs carefully. Maybe the Stone Roses were hungry enough for money that they'd do anything to top the charts but I like to think that didn't happen until Second Coming..
