Not so good songs on Great albums

The Trial almost ruins the Wall it's so bad. But there are some other awful songs on it so it doesn't stand out too much.

I never liked Blue Condition on Disraeli Gears.

I thought the album was brilliant up to Stop. The second disc really stood out with Hey You, Comfortably Numb, In The Flesh (pt 2) and Run Like Hell. I...just couldn't stomach that part. Outside the Wall is pretty bad too.

Yeah, I definitely liked the first side more though. Mother is a classic, Brick Part 1+2 are great, In the Flesh, Goodbye Bluesky, Young Lust, are all good, and the rest of the first side is solid 2nd side had 5 good songs and the rest is crap. If they could have just shortened it they couldv'e had a much tighter album without losing too much 'plot'.

But I guess that's the typical story of most double albums - too much filler.

I don't like "Rolodex Propaganda" on At The Drive-In's "Relationship Of Command" that much. Other than that, the album is amazing.

Far Out on Blur's Parklife. What were they thinking?

"Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 2" - I get it, it's the battle scene, and it fits the concept of the album on many levels - except the fact that it's not listenable.
