I am constantly blown away by how much of the music this band puts out that's incredible.  I've joked before that I'd be happy to listen to JJ sing the phone book which probably isn't too far from the truth.  But every bad records something that isn't loved by all so I was wondering if people had to pick one song as their least favorite what it would be?

Personally I will always go get another beer when they play "Librarian"   :beer:

Ironically I love Librarian and the only song I really think sucks is I'm Amazed. Reminds me of FM radio in the late 70's when Boston, Toto, Styx etc.. ruled the radio, and Tom Petty was cutting edge.

Another vote for I'm Amazed. I think it sounds worse live, I really can't stand Carls back-up vocals on this song. Nails on a chalkboard... Ok, maybe not that bad  ;D

The first time I heard Librarian (JJ Solo at SXSW '08) i texted my wife and said i had just heard the most beautiful song i'd ever heard live.

I'm Amazed and Librarian for worst song = TOTAL FAIL

First of all, there is not "worst" MMJ song for me, only a least favorite!!!  Secondly, I can understand that Librarian and I'm Amaxed may not be everyone's favorite, but I have a hard time imagining these as anyone's least favorite.

I'll probably get flamed, but I think Honest Man totally breaks up the flow of my favorite MMJ studio album, At Dawn, so I'd go with that one.  But even HM has its charms....

for me - it's all relative to the listening situation...admit I am often guilty of the slow-song-is-on-time-to-get-a-beer-move...but commuting home from work, pretty much exclusively listen to the slower stuff to mellow out

pretty much every song that I have disliked, has eventually grown on me in some way, shape or form.

This is the replay I should have had.  Thanks!

even Circuital (song and album) took a couple runs through for me to get feeling it but now, love the new album.  Front to back, I think it's awesome, with tons of potential for live-show tweaks / progressions / versions. 

Listening to album versions of old tracks, and what they have done with them lvie over the years...has me excited for what's to come from the new tracks

I personally cannot stand "Touch Me Pt.1"...wow, it looks like everyone's least favorite songs are coming off EU!

One song that I suspect will get some votes is "Into The Woods", but put me down as one who loves it.

I love into the woods too.  I think if it didn't have the kitten and baby killing lyrics, more people would like it.  Its such a cool, creepy, smoky(?) song.  I feel like I'm walking in a dream through the mist through a dangerous wooded area towards a log cabin where some crazy nasty things are going down.  It is a great song.

I'm going to have to agree with unravelled on this one.  Honest Man gets skipped very often when I listen to AD.  It might be because I want to hear some X-Mas Curtain, but still.

Definitely not enough reverb OR pedal steel in "it's been a great 3 or 4 years"  ;)

soft and warm all the time make you want it over and over

mine too.   Hard to DISLIKE anything MMJ does, but this song does nothing for me.   Runners up would be Librarian, Aluminum Park, and Remnants.

Yeah, ITW sounds like it could be from a David Lynch film!

Basically Sec Walkin, Two Halves, I'm Amazed, Thank you too are all bummers in my book.  The Evil Urges tour always came to a halt when these songs were played.  I am starting to think Touch Me 1 is in the same book in a live setting.  It's okay on the album but it brings nothing to a live setting.

So funny that everyone has songs that alot of people mention as their worst is some of my favorites.  Shows the variety of how preferential taste can vary from one person to the next.  My list is below....

It's been a great 3 or 4 years - Chocolate and Ice
Good Intentions - Evil Urges
Octoplasm - (not on an album, fan club release)
The Year in Review - Song Ohio

I think most all can agree with my list.   ;D
And all that ever mattered will some day turn back to batter, like a joke.
