Not really shocked by anything in the thread except Golden.

I kind of understand the Golden inclusion. It's a beautiful song, but one thats included so much in the setlists that we've all heard it so many times. If there could be one song that might be overplayed, it's this one. Sometimes I skip it too even though I love it, because I've heard it so many times.

That's how I feel about One Big Holiday...its like the Freebird of MMJ to me, awesome but played out

I use PWW as a ring tone on my IPhone  ;)

Ruckus

Agree with the OBH sentiment as well Davy.  Golden is just played out and doesn't do anything for me lyrically.  Throw in a live Bear or By My Car or How Could I Know once in a while eh?

Going backward in time...

1. Slow Slow Tune (I would include First Light, but in concert it rocks).
2. Highly Suspicious (Only song I will walk to the bathroom for).
3. Sec Walkin (I have flashbacks to the Family Guy episode where Randy Newman was following them singing left foot, right foot... or something like that.)
Randy Newman Singing what he sees From Family guy
4. Aluminum Park - (I actually love Remnants and not this one.)
5. Into the Woods - (But I will give love to the T5 version and that's it).
6. Rollin' Back - (just waayyyy too slow).
7. One in the same - (Ditto)
8. If It Smashes Down (Ditto)
9. By My Car (Ditto)
10 Butch Cassidy (Ditto)

That said, Highly Suspicious is a 10/10 of awfulness.  The rest, the world doesn't come to an end. 
Pops, Langerado, Lollapalooza, RCMH, Miami Beach, MSG, St Aug, T5.

Ah, yes.  I forgot that I do have an actual dislike of Sec Walkin'.  Sparkle.
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

Am I the only one who still has love for Highly Suspicious?

and Golden is one of my fav all-time but is now a bathroom break for me.

I even had a friend randomly text me recently "I forgot how nasty highly suspicious is dude" and countered wondering if he meant MMJ or not since it was so random

Hmm...now that makes How Do You Know pop into my head and that could be #10 for me on the skip list, but if they played it live Id be much more ecstatic than downtrodden.

whuuuuuuuuut?  :o

I'm with Penny Lane, that there is cray-cray!!!

While i love me some Tennessee Fire, the Dark is a pretty clunky song

anything + reverb always = better

What is the deal with people not liking Remnants?  I just do not get that at all.

Me neither.  One of my favorite parts of Rockpalast!

Gardenparty, clunky is a good description of The Dark!  I do love By My Car though... I hear the early foundation for At Dawn in it (song, not album). Does that make me only one "cray"? ;)
soft and warm all the time make you want it over and over

Nope, you are not alone. :thumbsup:

Definitely not alone.  One of my fave MMJ songs.  But then, I also lovelovelove Holdin' on to Black Metal which seems to be another divisive tune.

one of my first mmj moments was losing my basic motor skillz upon hearing the first dwamp dee dwamp dahdah dee dwamps of Highly suspicious. far from alone you are...

the only ones i skip are two halves, live versions of the day is coming, most live versions of HOTBM, and it's been a great 3 or 4 years (but i still listen to that one more than two halves)
