The Songs I Never Listen To - Track list

[Aevion93]

Can’t remember the last time I listened to Introspective. Not that it’s bad. It’s a masterpiece and played to death but I don’t think it’s physically been on my turntable or CDs player in about ten years

I feel the same about it. It's a great album but I generally only listen to I Want A Dog and the single versions.

For me: all of Elysium except Everything means something, memory of the future and invisible.

Funny - I play Elysium fairly often, and the first two tracks you cite are the ones I skip, along with Ego Music.

Elysium is still in my top five PSB albums, but I only really skip Breathing Space, and sometimes Hold On.

So weird that some of the songs listed in this thread are amongst my all-time favs.

[Disco.]

Introspective my favorite PSB album, pure bliss, PSB will ever reach such heights again, impossible, they were at the peak of their powers, a 5 million selling album, “Pop” doesn’t get better than this !!

It's often like this. Some songs are hated even if it's some masterpieces.
Not long ago i listened to psychological and what a fantastic and unique track it is.

[Lleonard Pler]

I rarely listen to any song not included on Please, Introspective, Bilingual, Nightlife, Disco 3, Electric (my favorite albums) or Nonetheless (their latest release).

[Skybluearmy87]

Wedding in Berlin
You only tell me you love me when your drunk
Winner
Always on my mind

[joe stalin]

I don’t get this at all. Some wonderful tracks listed already.

Later tonight, I’m not scared, give it a go. All great tracks.

For me it’s only a few that I skip

Winner
Wedding in Berlin
Love is a catastrophe

That’s probably it.

I have over 3,000 PSB tracks on my B2 and mostly play on random. That’s one hell of a strike rate of non skip tracks there.

[Debussy]

Good thread - there are several...

Winner - (but not the HappySad mix)
Wedding in Berlin
Hold on
The last to die - mostly because a Springsteen-loving mate rates this.
Pazzo!
In Denial
In Private (with Elton)
Cricket wife
Hymn
Together

If I had to choose an imperial phase hit that I'd happily never hear again...Always on my mind.

[rathound]

they've made so many songs there are loads I never listen to. I'll generally play all their albums except Yes, Format and Release at some point in a year, but I'll definitely skip a few as I go. Quite a few in the case of Elysium and Nightlife. I'd say I could probably list 40-50 that I would skip or haven't listened to for a decade or more

[misterme]

I don't listen that much to the tracks I find to be somewhat uninspired (not dull soulless dance music, but you get the idea):
party song
transparent
blue on blue
disco potential
pazzo
euroboy

to name a few


or tracks I don't like:
In private with Elton John
most b-sides from the Super and Nonetheless era
the Lost EP

But I listen to thoses tracks from time to time. There are none that I exclude.

[spacewalker]

PSB discography is huge, so there are quite a lot of songs I rarely listen to or have played only once (Electric/Super b-sides, outtakes from FL bonus discs and their recent 'bonus' indie tracks)
Some songs I listen only in context of their respective albums/compilations:

If love were all
Metamorphosis
Electricity
Somewhere
Second half of Nightlife (excluding Radiophonic)
Samurai in autumn
Vulnerable
Legacy
Winner
Ego music
Everything means something
Happiness
Inner sanctum
Sad robot world
Wedding in Berlin

I do like this topic and it’s certainly got me thinking. One of my playlists has every song they’ve released or demos of songs that haven’t been released as yet. I rarely skip any track as often it’s a song I haven’t heard for a while. We’ve all got our favourites and songs we don’t like and hearing songs that I might have skipped in the past I’ll just listen especially if I’m on a long train journey or on a plane.

Maybe there could be an obscure show when Chris and Neil ask fans for their most disliked songs and they choose a set list from the most unpopular.

If I had to choose at this moment I’d say Winner, What Keeps Mankind Alive and Luna Park
