Top 10 MMJ songs you'd skip

[MMPJ6306]

I'm kind of amazed that so many of you are choosing EU and Circuital songs? Is it because you've been fans since way back when and they've changed a little too much for you? I've only known them since Z and the thought of skipping anything on their last three records is crazy to me.

That being said I actively dislike The Dark. It's the only song by MMJ I've never liked and don't think I ever will.

I discovered MMJ 36 days before the release of Evil Urges.  However, during those 36 days, I listened extensively to the back catalog and tons of tapings.  As a fan of Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead, I found the early recordings of MMJ reminded me of early Floyd and Dead tracks.  The Dark sounds like something Syd Barrett would write.  I also hear The Doors in early MMJ.  So I think we bring our previous tastes to the way we regard MMJ, old and new.

listening to the Twilight from Red Rocks w/ Bo wailing that organ sound totally sounded like the Doors to me.

Have you listened to the Red Rocks version of The Dark?   That song was not one of my favorites early on but it's grown on me.   It's great live.

I got into MMJ through Okonokos so I was all about ISM and Z at first, then At Dawn, then got really into Tennessee Fire.   I like most of EU and Circuital - and some of those songs are fantastic live - but to me they don't come close to the early stuff.   But I love how they evolve and try new things - I really like Highly Suspicious and Black Metal which a lot of people don't, so it's not about wanting them to stay stuck in the past.

Let me start by saying I still love these songs in their own way, and I refuse to list Good Intentions, It's been a great 3 or 4 years etc.  That's cheating and you know it!

No order here:

Holdin' On To Black Metal (Probably my least favorite song in the catalogue)
Highly Suspicious
If It Smashes Down
I Needed it Most (This one and the one above it are probably the two songs I've listened to the least.  Just doesn't hold the greatness of the rest of the album.)
Holy
Outta My System
Two Halves
Remnants (I have to be in the mood for this one)
Off the Record
Knot Comes Loose

that's an interesting list! glad to see Dancefloors getting the love it deserves (in my top 5)

[EverythingChanges]

I think Slow Slow is my favorite tune on Circuital.  It depends on my mood though.  It is like a 3-way tie between Slow Slow, Wonderful, and Victory Dance.  All of those are great songs!

[SauceGod]

Holdin on to Black Metal
Slow Slow Tune Movin Away
I'm Amazed
Sec Walkin
Two Halves
Aluminum Park
If It Smashes Down
Honest Man

Tonight I Want 2 Celebrate With You!

...didn't want to just go the easy way by naming all of circuital.

You all understand this thread is for songs you would SKIP, right?

Yep, first 6 songs I regularly skip. The last four are songs that I skip because I have to be in the mood for them and get less play overall.

I was kidding, but couldn't add the wink smiley from my phone.   

To each their own.  I am surprised by a few selections of late, such as

Slow Slow Tune
Honest Man
Dancefloors

Also, Penny's comment suggests she didn't realize the nature of Mahgeetah34's list.

This thread makes no sense to me.

[Penny Lane]

i guess mine would be:

Remnants and most of Circuital

[Ruckus]

Oh, I get it now, it's like when your English class is taught by a drunk woman who only wears makeup on half of her face.
