Pretty fly for a white guy. It’s not really a bad song, but it was really overused in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Americana is a great album, but every time Pretty fly starts playing it ruins it for me.

I came here to say the same. It isn’t bad but it doesn’t mix up well with the rest…
Nirvana fans will dox and harass me for this, but “Underneath the Bridge” on Nevermind.
Album’s just one absolute banger after another, and then it finishes with a song that sounds like someone wrote in 5 minutes while hungover at a music festival.
(But then I suppose it redeems itself with “Nameless Shameless,” if you count that one, so at least it doesn’t end in disappointment)

I mean… It is Nirvana. There’s a very good chance that is exactly what happened.
Also: you got the name of the song right? I grabbed my disc to listen to it since I don’t remember that one and there is literally no song with that name on the album. Not even the deluxe edition or remastered edition on Spotify have a song called “Underneath the Bridge.”
Did you mean “Something in the Way?” It has those words as part of the lyrics. It’s one of my favorites off that album. lol
Something in the Way is literally a highlight of Nevermind, but I can’t think of any other Nirvana song that has “Underneath the bridge” in the lyrics.
I think they do mean Something in the Way - and I find it an oddly comforting listen.
I did mean “Something in the Way.” Funny, I haven’t looked at the names of the songs for a long time, and my mind played a trick on me
Totally relate.
I still can’t help but think that a particular song about Link from Legend of Zelda really was made by System of a Down due to all the kazaa/limewire/Napster uploads crediting it to them back in the day 🤣
This is how all those Mandela Effect stories begin lol
Boooo! Hisss! It’s chill and mellow. I think it is a great counterpoint on the album!
I wish I could feel the same. I tried to like it, I wanted to like it
It’s probably the most authentic Kurt on the record if we’re being real. Depressed, dejected and broken down
I’m just going to join the dogpiling on you about incorrect song names lol
It’s “Endless, Nameless”, not Nameless Shameless
GOD DAMN IT ZFSSJJCSAADAHKMHDX
I love being able to stream, but I think now and then I should still PICK UP THE RECORD AND READ IT
Scary how memories are so elusive. I wonder what else I think I remember that is false lmao
All Star on Smash Mouth’s Astro Lounge
Waste is a great song
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I never even gave Astro Lounge a fair shake. I’m listening to it again and I’m surprised by how badly I misremembered the song quality
fush yu mang is also a great album
I can’t believe I’m saying this, somehow I never even gave Astro Lounge a fair shake. I grossly misremembered the song quality, there are some pretty good tracks on there. It’s got some cheesy gimmicks, even so it’s worth giving a listen or two at least.
It’s kinda campy. I like that about smash mouth. Fallen Horses though, that’s a great track. Genuinely good listening.
This is exactly what I came to say. Thank you for having taste
Escape from Metallica’s Ride The Lightning. It doesn’t ruin the album but it stains a masterpiece for sure. The band hates that song as well because they wrote it last minute to appease their record label.
That’s interesting, I never knew the story behind that song. Personally I always liked it but I like just about every Metallica song.

Revolution 9, as was often joked about on beatlescirclejerk in the other place.
i love that song
Number 9, number 9, number 9!
I usually just skip that song. Album is no longer ruined 😉
Although Twilight by Anderson Paak is particularly annoying.
Ticks and Leeches off of Lateralus by Tool. It’s not even a bad song but the aggression ruins the flow of the album and sticks out like a sore toe.
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer on Abbey Road. One of the few songs I skip while listening to an album!
I like Maxwell’s Silverhammer :)
The world is full of things more bizarre and inexplicbale than we could ever imagine, and I thank you for reminding me of that this morning.
For me it is Jewels N’ Drugs on Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP album. I skip it every time.
Any Chvrches song where one of the other members is singing (not sure who it is).
I think there’s at least one on every album they’ve made, and it’s always an immediate skip for me.
I don’t think it ruins the album, but Oh, Daddy on Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors is kind of the only stinker on there. It would have been better with Silver Springs instead I think.
I love Dragonforce’s entire discography, with one massive exception in that Evil Dead is horrible beyond words.
TIL Dragonforce did a cover of Death
Off the top of my head, “Benny the Bouncer” on Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery. It should have been a B-Side of a single or something like that but it does not work on that album at all. For me, it’s just a goofy unneeded intermission before “Karn Evil 9” that I always skip.
I almost never skip songs on albums, but Panda Eyes & DatPhoria - Keep Going ruins Panda Eyes’ KIKO album IMO. The verses and drops were clearly written by two different people, but it sounds like they never heard each other’s parts. Like they were glued together from separate songs.
the song astrud gilberto does with her kid on beach samba ruins what is otherwise a perfect album
Couldn’t agree more, that tune is cringe-inducing. A perfect example of the rule that your kids are always cuter to you than to anyone else.
To me, “Parade” on that album is also a turkey.
parade grew on me. i love the marching drums and its such a fun little ditty
