Then this was taken the WAYYYY wrong way.

I meant it as a joke, okay?

Just sayin'.


I see where you're coming from but I respectfully disagree. Let's take my #1 album for example. I know every lyric and every nuance of Clouds Taste Metallic, and I love every song (obviously). I think every second of it is perfect. That said, 'This Here Giraffe' and 'Lightning Strikes the Postman' are personal standouts. I get what you mean, in that "you should think the whole album is perfect and therefore shouldn't be able to pick a favourite", but that just isn't entirely true. I do think the whole album is perfect, and yet there are songs I think are more perfect than others. I struggle to think of an album where every song is of equal quality in fact (except, perhaps, The Wall), and I can pick standouts from nearly every album on my Top 100. So yeah, I disagree. Sorry I don't love the albums in my chart enough.

disagree. there are nuances to love.

First one (example) that comes to mind is Tonight, Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins off of Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness ...g Pumpkins. It's my fav. track, but i love nearly every song about that album in different ways.

I disagree.... but agree that if you don't like one track, it shouldn't be in your top 50... that is the point of a good album imo. An album that is complete in every way.

Nonsense.

I get your point about all tracks being amazing, but I do think in the end that the "Another Brick in the Wall"-parts and a few other songs are a bit inferior to the rest of the album.

Sad if you love all the tracks on the "The White Album", but don't like "Wild Honey Pie". 52 seconds out of +90 minutes spoils the album and you have to automatically move the album to #51.

this is correct with me 66 percent of the time, but there are certain songs on some albums that are just extra special.

If I'm not allowed to have favorite songs, then I quit.

There is a song on my #1 album that I feel indifferently about. Should I not have it in my top 50 just because of that? The rest of the album I love more than anything else and the album has so much personal meaning to me.

Same.
