I had the misfortune of actually purchasing that album, and let me tell you, it's a piece of shiiiiit through and through.

Mine is the entire closing portion of The Wall. Waiting for the Worms, Stop, The Trial, even Outside the Wall. Roger Waters' attempt to get "creative" or whatever ****ing blew it for me. Up to that point, it was sheer genius and a great concept album. Pink Floyd should never have let him talk into the mic for ten minutes. It could have been as apocalyptic as DSOTM.

I also hated the worms stuff from The Wall. Other losers are Oh Daddy from rumours and Within Without You from Sgt. Peppers

Is it blasphemous to suggest that Behind Blue Eyes is the weak link on Who's Next?

I wouldn't call Who's Next a great album to begin with to be honest.

Good opener , good closer & 7 non entities in between.

No.

Bargain, Love ain't for keepin', Behind Blue eyes, Going Mobile are all good songs.

Go listen to Prince or something

Yeh, only good songs are Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled again (One of the best songs ever) and My Wife.

Don't forget My Wife! Entwistle was a great writer. His songs are hilarious.

Well, I'd argue that Nevermind is not a great album, and if anything, in an opposite version of this thread ("Great songs on not-so-great albums"), I'd nominate Something In The Way, the one truly great Nirvana track.

Here's another one: Sowing Seeds off of Psychocandy. It's not bad, but it's basically an inferior rewrite of Just Like Honey.
