in my opinion, including go west and miracles on a list of worst songs, is like saying "well, i like george orwell, except for 1984 and animal farm"

I wouldn't say I hate TSOTAS, but I don`t love it either. It`s just strange, not crap.

'Atom Splitting' is indeed more of an interesting experiment than badly-written pop.

I have to admit that I like "What keeps mankind alive" (Kurt Weil used to write bombastic theatrical pieces of music in an ironic manner anyway), "New York City Boy" (killer live bass and old-fashioned disco production), "Se A Vida E" (latin-pop sparkler) and "The Night I Fell In Love" (great music, intelligent satire) that get usually laughed at here.

(Think I must have ruined any credibility I had now... )

As for worst album-tracks (I haven't heard many of their last b-sides) my votes would go to "Metamorphosis" & "For Your Own Good".

Maybe "That's my impression". MAYBE! Neil grasp himself at the end of the song. He doesn't have voice for this...

see, I beg to differ - the people that don't like TNIFIL or In Denial need to listen to the music (if its the lyrics that make you cringe), as the music alone is absolutely gorgeous and absolutely lush

i think tthey are to beautiful tunes ...kylie doie3s that tune good as well! I would also put the tunes For all of usand love is a catrastophe and Drunk into the list of really artistic tunes that people really hate until they are chilling one day and all of sudden they find themselves loving it - you agreee ? ? ? ? ?

the reason i have 5 is they are my worst 5 danni i hate all of them equally i dont know why just do!

i dont know why people hate the Atom splitting i really liked it live in 89 tour as instrumental but i also really hate the lyrics they are stupid!

Ditto; though I skip Introspective version of It's Alright with enthuasism...

Worst single: One day it is New York City silliness, the other day That's the way shit is...

Personal Worst album track: Only One, Footsteps and In Denial; schlock romance and confession hours.

Universally disliked: The Night I Fell In Love closely followed by the syrupy Liberation (in which Neil sounds like Kermit the Frog, sorry)

Worst b-side: Disco Potential; but Bet She is not your girlfriend is also a strong runner-up...

Either:

1. You are not showing your true age in your profile
2. You saw the PSBs when you were just 4 years old. Im impressed!!

What Keeps Mankind Alive and I Get Along.

I kind of liked this disposition, so I'll go with it:

Worst Single - Before (Not a bad song at all, but as a single for the first caucasian latino-inspired album of all time, it's dreadful. Terrible video, too)

Worst b-side - Was that what it was? (I really like the beats, but definitely Neil's worst professionally recorded vocal performance of all time)

Worst album track - It always comes as a surprise (because of that bloody oboe thing or whatever the hell it is going on in the beginning and the end of the song, in between it's quite nice with a very nice lyric, but I LOATHE that bloody African-masturbating-sounding instrument so much I always skip it when it comes across iTunes)

Worst remix - The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on (Live @ Twilo) - (sucks! Brilliant song gone rubble because of idiotic remixing)

Oh, and by the way, The sound of the atom splitting, The night I fell in love, What keeps mankind alive and If love were all are all quite brilliant tracks.

Another vote here for Electricity. I also dislike with a passion: TNIFIL, Saturday Night Forever and the PSB version of Losing My Mind.

Worst singles (predicatbly): New York city boy and Before.
