I don't mind you putting the links of the songs in the description of the video, but in the future, can you maybe try not to put the names of all the songs in the description too just so spoilers can be avoided? Thanks
I still think No One Else by Weezer is the worst song on the Blue Album. I like the instrumental, but those lyrics... they make me cringe so hard I almost stop listening to the rest of the album.
Make Believe-Korn (Untouchables) Sign of the Times-Three Days Grace (Transit of Venus) Sure Feels Right-Sixx AM (This is Gonna Hurt) Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Supertown-Rob Zombie (Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor) Warrior-Disturbed (Asylum) I don't hate that track. It just seems more like a leftover from Indestructible Doing Time-Avenged Sevenfold (Hail to the King) All I Ever Wanted-Shinedown (Leave a Whisper) Given-Seether (Karma and Effect)
@@GetYourChicken17 To me Hail To The King isn't that great of an album, but I do agree 'Doing Time' is a very weak song, easily the worst song on that album. Also I love Dead City Radio, it's so catchy 😛 One of my favourite Rob Zombie tracks.
All the Small Things: Yeah this song might be dumb simple and by the numbers, but that's exactly why i like it, it's so dumb i can't help but love it. Crawling: This song is way too special for me, but even ignoring that, there's a lot going on in Crawling instrumentally speaking, like if you're a musician you'd apreciate its composition. People usually judge it for its lyrics (and even that, a lot of people can relate to them) and overexposure (and that's not the song's fault). Kid A: Yeah, it's a weird ass track for sure, but that's exactly the kind of shit i expect from Radiohead. It's hard to digest but when it's finally click on you, you come in term with it. It's weird yet not bad per se, quite the opposite.
@@miserirken I agree with you and the post before. Maybe I'm weird, but I like to shuffle my music library, and I have found unique merit behind each song I listen to. I can't remember the last time I sat down and listened to an entire album from beginning to end. Ever since the days of iTunes, Pandora, and Spotify, it has not been necessary to purchase an entire album to enjoy good music. Perhaps this guy has a slightly outdated (but not necessarily less valid) method of consuming music that leads to different conclusions. I don't know. In the end, isn't beauty in the eyes of the beholder?
Crawling is a terrible song. When that album came out I loved it, but crawling was an automatic skip. It was grating. Screaming for the sake of screaming is never good
I never realized there were people that really don’t like Crawling. I always thought it was one of the strongest songs on Hybrid Theory. Learn something new every day I guess lol.
My personal HT ranking: 1. Pushing Me Away 2. Points of Authority 3. In The End 4. Papercuts 5. Crawling 6. One Step Closer 7. A Place For My Head 8. Runaway 9. With You 10. Forgotten 11. By Myself 12. Cure For the Itch So yeah, solid top-half cut for me.
The Downward Spiral is a concept album about a man driven to self destruction by all kinds of thing (disdain for authority, sexual frustration, rejection, ect.). Big Man With a Gun is a major climax in the narritive. It's ugly and difficult to listen to, and that's probobly intentional. Taking that part away is like cutting the chestburster scene out of Alien.
Thank you for explaining this to him. Some of these lists just iterate how little he understands the music he’s talking about, granted he was probably about 8 when it came out but still, at least pay attention to the music if judging it publicly
Hope everyone has fun in the "try not to unsubscribe* challenge! But really, if you're reading this hear my man out on these, even if I disagree with some ;)
Jon hopefully FBE isn’t watching because that will be their next challenge I could totally see them having their reactors going to random TH-cam Channels and seeing if they will unsubscribe.
Disagree with them being the weakest songs on the album's. They are essential to the flow, like a pallet cleanser during a large meal. They serve their purposes well and are both excellent tracks.
I don’t agree with crawling at all, but I get where you’re coming from. A good chunk of the lyrics in Linkin Park describe Chester’s struggle and we all sadly know how that ended 😔 Rip Chester...
A lot of these songs are spot on, but I seriously disagree with Crawling on Hybrid Theory. That's one of the strongest songs on the album. It's a bit emo, but it's sort relatable.
Remember this is the same guy who hates Simple Plan to the point where he acts like they have no redeeming qualities, so you have to take just about anything he says with a grain of salt 🧂
The guy that created this video has no life I swear just look at him he acts like he’s got a degree in having confidence but deep down inside he’s really insecure lol
Kid A on a good set of headphones is a god-like album. Start to finish. Even when it drags a bit in spots it still adds to the atmosphere and tone of the album as a whole.
When I saw Hybrid Theory on this list I did not think “crawling” was gonna be the song, I thought for sure it was gonna be “cure for an itch”. 🤷🏻♂️😂 agree to disagree. Great list, great video. Rock on 🤘🏼
While i kinda disagree on Big Man With A Gun, it is the least good on The Downward Spiral, but i think it's an intentional over the top moment to set up the song after it.
Trent Reznor himself said that if he could re-do the album he would leave that song off edit: just realized how much of a 'well you have to hate it now because Trent does' comment this came off as, just simply wanted to say that as a fun fact
Honestly. Family tree is a difficult song to listen to just because how dark and twisted it is. That doesn't make it a bad song, exactly the opposite. It brilliantly conveys it's message through. It's a song supposed to make you feel bad.
No that would be What’s My Age Again, you have no idea how many times I’ve heard people (especially millennials) say “nobody likes you when you’re 23” and the video is one of the most iconic and well remembered in TRL history
@@ronstoppable5659 Video wise, yes I think Whats My Age Again will be rememered for that. As far as the actual audio, All The Small Things gets way more radio play still, and a lot more plays with karaoke and cover bands. It also peaked at #6 on the charts as compared to #58 with WMAA.
@@MrT571 That was my favorite one back when I was 12! It's crazy how much more impact a song like that can have when you're a teenager compared to an adult.
While Crawling and All The Small Things might not have aged well, I still have a soft spot for those songs as I have a fair bit of nostalgia towards them. Particularly the former, as I'm a huge fan of LP.
As far as Linkin Park goes I went from genuinely liking them, to finding them cringy during university and now I have embraced the cringe and appreciate them culturally, as well as the fact, that their teen angst cringe is still catchy and VERY digestable and feels honest to boot. Can't say the same thing about "All the Small Things". That one's appeal just completely started wearing off on me over time.
I’ve liked Linkin Park since high school (cliche, I know), but I just enjoy their music. “Crawling” is not high on my list of songs I like from them, but I don’t have too much of a problem with it either.
I like that you included "Crawling" and stick to your guns on it. Personally I disagree, but I'm not the one making the video! Well done, good list! Another note: 15:28 "What was going through your brain?" * Drugs * Best edit ever!! You get points!
>Bad Songs On Great Albums >Hybrid Theory in thumbnail Excuse me, there's an oximoron in your content. There's no such thing as a bad song in Hybrid Theory (nor in Meteora. Both 10/10 albums).
I honestly feel like there are cringier lyrics on Hybrid Theory than Crawling. I mean wouldn't say songs like One Step Closer have aged all that well. Anytime I hear that song anymore I get major 'drinking monster and punching drywall' vibes lol.
I think One Step Closer is great. I think everyone has been in that situation where someone was about to push you to the limit. It even suggests that it's a situation he needs to get out of. And while shut up when I'm talking to you could be taken as a wall punching line, I think it's intended more as a shut up and listen to me. But, to each their own.
'I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night Shining with the light from the sun And the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming The moon's gonna owe it one' THE cringiest lyric in Linkin Park's career, and #2 cringiest lyric in all of nu-metal, beaten out only by the 'NO MOMMY PLEASE NO' section in Down With The Sickness. Yes, I think it's cringier than 'I did it all for the nookie, so that you could get that cookie, and stick it up your ass'. AND cringier than 'Chocolate Starfish' the song. You wanna talk Livejournal? That's it right there.
@@PedroBenolielBonito a month old but, those are easily the best lines on the entire album, at the very least on APFMH. Perfectly describes the type of people who do "favors" that you never asked for just so they can hold it against you later. That's a bar right there, and one of the few good raps Mike has on the entire album(not dissing Mike at all, but he definitely dumbed down most of his early stuff to be more commercial.)
@@Salad531 I love most of that album, but it does have a couple of not-so-great songs. Speaking as a car guy, Im in Love with My Car is a real clinker for me, and Im not a fan of Death on 2 Legs.
I think it might just be the greatest track ever recorded. People don’t “get it” I guess? The chord progression is achingly beautiful and unique, the song is constantly evolving and stays interesting, and it conveys a level of feeling and emotion I’ve really never found anywhere else.
Love linkin park and crawling is one of my favorite songs because unlike most superficial music there is a deep meaning behind its lyrics and it’s a great sounding song ... I am 39 now , so I grew up in the good alternative rock and rap era as well as grunge and linkin park was a highlight of the early 2000’s when I was right out of high school ... trust crawling is an awesome song, so is the whole hybrid theory and reanimation which is why they are re-releasing it now and after chesters death will probably do just as well as it did then !
"Crawling" does have some cringey lyrics on it, but I've honestly never considered LP's lyrics to be amazing (I personally find the first verse of "Leave Out All The Rest" to be really, really lame, but I still love it musically). However, even though the lyrics are the same, its remix on Reanimation, "KRWLNG" is AMAZING. It's a symphonic remix and the choruses aren't screams, with some nice harmonies on them.
@Alex Smith Most Of The Songs from Enema and Take Off Your Pants And Jacket are pretty much a punk inspired tongue in cheek parody of current pop music (with songs like Adam’s Song and Stay Together For The Kids being very obvious exceptions)
Vitalogy also had “Heyfoxymophamdle mamma, that’s me”. Mercifully it was the very last track, so the album proper had already ended. However, that track does have some great and very quotable samples you can pepper through conversation, like “Hey, the floor looks byoooooodiful!”, “She prides herself on her cleanliness”, or “I can still fantasise, as long as I.... keep it to myself!”
Probably he didn't have anything to say again or just didn't wanted to repeat which is amazing cuz that take is actually better than half of this list (Specially Kid A or Crawling)
Glad someone finally pointed out Crawling. If we look at Crawling without nostalia goggles its really clear it's the weakest song on the album, but hey some peolple believe every album should have a ballad type song. That being said I don't think its a bad song, but you're definitely right that it messes with flow of the album.
Adrian Roybal I think In The End does that more than Crawling, because we have songs with heavy guitars and rapping in the verses. And then we have a song that starts with a piano and a sing a long chorus.
*Sees Hybrid Theory in thumbnail* *Looks in the description* CRAWLING IN MY SKIN.... All the Small Things, however, is pretty reasonable to me. For a pop punk/skate punk band like Blink 182, the single seemed a bit too pop rock - ish for me. I like Blink's more experimental, dynamic type of songs that aren't too radio - ready, like Always, Stockholm Syndrome, Feeling This, Down, Stay Together for the Kids, The Rock Show, I Miss You, etc.
First off, I think All The Small Things is a solid tune, not my favorite but at least better than The Party Song. Second, although I love Filter I will agree there are cringey Richard Patrick moments even in their best albums, but I think Cancer is a decent track, a little weird but I like how the vocals sound. To me it's better than Captain Bligh or Miss Blue, maybe even Welcome to the Fold. Finally... I love Crawling, yeah it's kind of a cliche nu metal song but it's powerful, and nicely utilizes the quiet verse loud chorus approach. High school era me identifies strongly with that tune.
I really like The Party Song. Yeah the lyrics are dumb but they are so much fun. To be honest I think Mutt is the least good song on Enema Of The States.
Far Beyond Driven is a good example of “nearly perfect except for one track.” Good Friends & A Bottle Of Pills (while instrumentally good) is that one skip worthy track in an album while everything else is good.
I actually like Family Tree by Megadeth. I was a sexually abused child. So perhaps I can just relate to it. The lyrics really don't get to graphic. It actually is tame compared to Daddy by Korn.
Revolution 9 is arguably one of the most influential tracks The Beatles ever produced, in terms of studio fuckery. Rarely had anyone heard that sort of experimentation before, and to expose that to the masses, rather than niche underground 60's counter-culture, I think was a huge deal. The track alone has influenced Avant-garde and experimental musicians and artists.
and It sounds great when ripped on lsd. but yeah, it is definitely art. this was the days before samples, everything had to be spliced on tape. not everyone's cup of (mushroom) tea and I would often skip it when listening as a teen (except for previously mentioned pharmaceuticals). I needed a beat! I think some if it is hate for Yoko. yeah yeah yeah she broke up the Beatles (she didn't, that was in the works for a while according to Peter Brown's Biography). cheers
As was said, sound collages and tape experiments were far from "rare" back in '68. However, they were mostly limited to "classical" composers and other academic artists like Luigi Nono and Stockhausen. The remarkable thing about Revolution 9 is that it's done by pop artists, and you can hear the pop sensibilities in that track: it's far more narrative, dynamic, intense and also _humourous_ than "classical" tape experiments tended to be back then. Also, it's good to remember that, even though Lennon was largely responsible for putting the track in the album, all of the Beatles were into this kind of stuff. From Paul McCartney's accounts, _Carnival of Light_ was even more bonkers. If you wanna hear some really boring and unimpressive "avantgarde", listen to _Two Virgins_ by John and Yoko. I think that album deserves all the critique that Revolution 9 (unfairly) gets. P.S.: saying that Revolution 9 is the result of drugs is so fucking normie.
Amen to the blink entry. I fucking love blink and fucking hate this song. Then they wrote the rock show in like 10 minutes just to satisfy the studio execs
I honestly have a soft spot for Crawling, cheesy as it may be. Granted, I was a nihilistic brat when I was younger and this developed my gothic look and lifestyle, however I can definitely see how it can be a turn off for some. Maybe I just like depressing things...
I admire depressing, dark, gothic imagery, story - telling, and outlooks of life, as well. There's something about it that entices me. Probably because it brings out more artistry and edge than when talking about light. And this is coming from a Christian.
I love Linkin Park even more now than I did in middle school. I discovered about a decade ago that Crawling was actually the worst song on the album and I have grown accustomed to skipping it consistently and leaving it off of my LP playlist. I’ve had arguments with friends about it, so I’m glad I’m not the only one. Also, I was expecting Escape from Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning” to make the list. I don’t mind it but it sounds like a completely different band and the band has gone on record saying they hate the track.
I'm quite shocked that you considered "Title of Record" to be a great album, considering how [criminally] underrated it is. Still, I love "Cancer" just 'cause it has such a cool atmosphere and those last two minutes are perfect, IMO. But yeah, I'll admit, the lyrics are still really cheesy (apparently, it's supposed to be about the environment).
I feel that a decent chunk of Richard Patrick's lyrics don't flow all that well, but he's still an awesome composer and performer (although his voice nowadays is shot). I like how the vocals sound on Cancer, it's a decent track on an otherwise excellent album.
I agree that cancer is an underrated song. When the song goes uptempo towards the end, I consider that a dynamic master stroke, and Darcy’s vocals give it a unique atmosphere. Not a low point on the album, but an underrated number whose dynamic contrasts eventually grow on you.
I'm not a fan of Drowning Pool's work after Dave Williams' unfortunate passing, but "Sinner" has become an underrated gem of an album. From the title track to "Sermon", this album shows the potential of the band's talent... except for the second track "Bodies". This is the one track I skip every time. It's stupid, repetitive and has aged poorly... and somehow it's the song they're best known for. I know a lot may disagree and like the nostalgia factor behind this song, but to me this should've been kept on paper.
I stand beside Kid A. It was perfect for wake and bake as a teenager when weed was still this exciting magical experience. Lol. Go outside around 7am with headphones.
A few of mine Parklife -"Clover Over Dover" Demon Days -"All Alone" Plastic Beach -"Sweepstakes" Nevermind -"Something on the way" Licensed to ill- "Rhymin and Stealin" Making Movies -"Les Boys" Beautiful Freak -"Mental" Homework -"Rock N Roll" The Who Sell Out -"Silas Stingy"
You did not just diss Clover Over Dover. One of, if not the best track on Parklife. The instrumentation is gorgeous, and Graham's licks are so melodic and memorable, almost transcendental.
Pea from One Hot Minute by RHCP (One of their best albums). It's a novelty song, which doesn't really fit on an album which for the part is taking itself very seriously with songs like Warped, Aeroplane, Shallow be thy Game, along with Deep Kick. And Flea also sounds pretty awful on the song as well. OHM could've done without it.
100% agree on this. I don’t know why One Hot Minute gets so much hate, it has some great tracks, and it’s much better than some of the later Chilli Peppers albums.
Oh definitely. A lot of people hate on One Hot Minute because it's the album after John Frusciante left (the first time), and I prefer him on guitar for RHCP but I like the extra bit of edge Dave Navarro brought for that album, lots of great songs. Pea is NOT one of them, good god what a stupid song lol.
I definitely commend you for your opinion on Crawling. As I grew up, I, too, was interested why this was the second biggest song off HT. My guess is the simplicity of it made it more easily relatable to the public at the time and, of course, the raw emotion you can clearly see Chester giving to the song. I don't think it's bad by any stretch nor does it interrupt the flow of the album (not any more than your typical ballad on a rock album), but I do agree Points of Authority, One Step Closer, Place for My Head, Forgotten, Papercut, and most other songs on the album are better by comparison.
I think Iron Maiden's Gangland should have been here. I don't like Number Of The Beast that much anyway but this nasaly, generic, terribly sung deep cut is one of their worst. It really comes to some of the worst parts of modern and 90's Maiden which is saying something if you have heard those albums
TH3 F4LC0N Honestly The Number of the Beast is a really weird album. It’s highs are so high, but lows are so low. Invaders, Gangland, Total Eclipse (for the 1998 re-release) all kill the album. Hell, Invaders STARTS the album and the chorus ruins it. Should’ve started with the record with the title track to be honest
@@thenoodledrop I'll go to bat for Invaders and Gangland, but yeah, Total Eclipse is kind of lame. I always skip that one. Powerslave and Seventh Son are way more consistent, even if the singles aren't as iconic.
@@thenoodledrop Oh man, the chorus of Invaders is so bad... I could never get into the album because of it. Piece Of Mind is so much better, why do we always have to endure Run To The Hills and all the singles at concerts..
I'm a major Tool fan, but if I'm being honest here... "Cesaro Summability". I know it's more of a segue track than an actual song, but if "Revolution 9" was fair game, this one is too. Love Ænima as an album, but I could do without the baby screeching in my ear.
(-) Ions, my guy. If Revolution 9 can be here, (-) Ions would be my pick. Four minutes of electric noises...I’d rather have the loud baby from Cesaro Summability
In defence of Crawling, it's a softspot for me: it's the first Linkin' Park song I ever heard at 13. I still feel like it holds up as the lyrics are...immature but the powerful presentation and performance of it was what made it a hit and a classic.
13:34 No, Runaway is the Live Journal entry of a 15-year old. I think that song has aged WAY worse than Crawling. At least it never got ruined by memes like Crawling and In The End did.
Runaway definitely has some cheesy lyrics, but I think the music grooves better (and matches the energy and tone of the rest of the album) than Crawling. The version of Crawling from Reanimated feels much better, turning the slower pace into a way to build symphonic sounds.
Yeah, I usually don't care for remixes/remix albums, but Reanimation is one of the few exceptions. The versions of Papercut and My December are awesome.
I don't know about anyone else, but I always wondered what a Reanimation-style remix of Meteora would sound like, with track titles like "F8nt", "4wrd", "S0mwhere 1 Blng" or something lol.
Meh, Cure for the Itch and Session I think are fine. Reminds me of Magic Medicine by Incubus. There aren't too many turntable/scratch instrumental tracks out there, I guess that was a 90s/early 2000s thing haha.
Micro Cuts by Muse. Words cannot describe how much I love Origin Of Symmetry. My favorite album from my favorite band. But Matt...PLEASE tone it down a bit on that one.
Nah, the falsetto is genuinely impressive, and the outro adds a nice sense of closure (even if both elements are borderline ripoffs of Jeff Buckley and Rage Against The Machine respectively). Solid track. Bliss, on the other hand, is just a whole bunch of nothing. Actual pointless wailing and insipid vocal melody. A total blemish on an otherwise near-perfect album.
SPInc I definitely won’t deny it’s impressive. I actually enjoy Bliss though. Definitely not the most memorable track on the album, but great nonetheless
I get why people think songs like "All the Small Things" and "Crawling" aren't the greatest, but I don't get why people outright hate them. I believe there's a place for music written by adults that sounds like it was written by teenagers, because teenagers are going to want music that sounds like something they would write and it's probably better that we have adults do it than give gigantic record deals to random kids.
Family tree is like one of my favorite megadeth songs, its melodic, got kinda sick lyrics (Also metal ones) and an amazing solo. Idk what your talking about lol but anyway good video I enjoyed.
the music in The Crunge is great, but my God, Robert Plant's rambling bullshit lyrics in that song make it unbearable! I don't even think he wrote any, it sounds like he improv'd in one take and said "Fuck it, good enough." granted, so many people consider Plant a god amongst frontmen, when all I see and hear is an average lyricist with a whiny voice & a massive ego, so I might just be biased
I usually skip Revolution 9 and yeah it's a fever dream, however i think that this is still an important song, i'd much rather listen to it than Good Night, and the fact that they closed the album with that
Cap on La la la love you and Kid A. Love you honestly is great for being a comedic centrepiece/interlude, it’s simply, funny, and catchy. It helped balance and maintain pacing after Crackity Jones and before No. 13. Kid A honestly has a haunting and soulless vibe that is pretty reminiscent of Ok Com, it fits in well (imo) within the the depress isolation of the Album. And yeah Revolution 9 doesn’t need to exist. I agree on that one
My list (Top 5): 1. Deftones- Rats!Rats!Rats!: I am a huge Deftones fan but I HATE this song! I know most people will say Pink Cellphone was their worst (and it's pretty bad, a close 2nd) but I find Rats extremely annoying and it lacks any sort of hook. I'm pretty sure they wrote this song just to make all their emo fans happy. 2. Anthrax- Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.): Among the Living is one of their best albums but this song was AWFUL. Way too much "everyone in the band jump in the mic and chant" to the point it just became cheesy and goofy. 3. Scorpions- Hell-Cat: Virgin Killer was a pretty solid Scorpions record (provided you get the one with the band on the cover, the original was very disturbing) but this song sounded almost like a goofy funk/hip-hop tune combined with horrible vocals from Uli Jon Roth (seriously, he should have just left the vocals to Klause; someone who can actually sing). 4. AC/DC- Mistress For Christmas: The lyrics and the tune itself were laughably bad. Razor's Edge was okay for the most part, but this song had more cheese than the state of Wisconsin. 5. Motorhead- Jailbait: I know most fans consider Ace of Spades to be their pinnacle album, but I personally find the lyrics to this song to be sickening and repulsive. Many of Motorhead's songs may be about sex but I find it disgusting to write a song about a grown man having sex with an underage girl and choosing to ignore the fact that she's probably not legal yet. This song is the one and only reason why I do not own the album. Anyway, that is my list. If you like it, great! If not, don' t care.
I've grown up with Linkin Park so I probably am biased, but I've always liked Crawling. The lyrics very much described me when I went into my "Ooh I'm so depressed no one gets me" phase, but I still like it now, while actually being depressed. They have better songs and better lyrics, but there are other songs I skip way more than Crawling 🙈 Been watching a lot of your videos lately because I randomly found you, nice work! 💜
Crawling from Linkin Park was a bit much... There's a reason why it was a meme. It went a little too hard on the "I'm a rebellious loner teenager" trope.
It is a touch melodramatic, and very much a song for teens. I'm not sure that's such a bad thing, honestly. Crawling is still a weird choice to me, though I haven't heard this album from beginning to end in years. 36 year old me may not like it as much as 16 year old me.
Well, wasn't expecting to be in the end card already lol. Thanks Luke! That was a fair list. Personally, I have nostalgia for "All The Small Things" as a karaoke track with my brother but even I'll admit it's not special. And I respect your view towards "Crawling". (I'll even admit it could have been swapped with "In The End" as far as placement goes). I do genuinely think that while it is cheesy in moments, it is one of Chester's best vocal deliveries on Hybrid Theory. That is definitely bias on my end. I'll own that.
"Linkin Park wouldn't release a song like Crawling in 2020" Yeah they wouldn't, cause their singer committed suicide because the lyrics of Crawling were an honest expression of the depression he lived with for decades. Bit tone deaf to say lyrics written by a man who killed himself sound too angsty to take seriously.
In defense of "No Friend": I think it works well in the setup of the album, specifically with the other two end tracks "Idle Worship" and "Tell Me How". "Idle Worship" feels like Hayley's anger toward some of her fanbase finally breaking through the walls she set up, and "No Friend" feels like the cavalcade (spelling) of emotions rushing through the break. Once that nightmarish rush of all the dark emotions is over, it leads into "Tell Me How", which feels like Hayley is exhausted to the point of "tell me how to feel now". Does "No Friend" work on its own? Not at all. However, it never felt designed that way.
I SCREAMED when I saw the Strong Bad graphic. That video with the part about lalas and nanas has always stuck with me. When I had a radio show in college, we did one show where every song in the playlist had to have lalas in the lyrics. It was a lot.
Some of my picks: Until It Breaks - Living Things (Linkin Park) The Danger in Starting a Fire - For Those Who Have Heart (A Day To Remember) Kings of the Here and Now - Walk The Plank (Zebrahead) Sure Feels Right - This Is Gonna Hurt (Sixx:A.M.)
IMO: D'yer Mak'er - Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin They're Red Hot - Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers (although it's a cover) Fluff - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath
D'yer Mak'er? That's... It's not a bad song, but I can see how you could think it's the least good on the album. It does at least have the clever wordplay in the title.
Agreed on d’yer mak’er, honestly not a fan of the song at all. And especially since rest of the album is so good it’s definitely grounds to appear on this list
Since I love your channel and have busted a gut laughing so hard on a few of your horrible album reviews (i. e. Simple Plan: ...Still Not Getting Any.....I have never laughed so hard ...EVER. 😂😂🤣🤣) and because I wholeheartedly agree with you on “Revolution 9” I will let your opinion of “Crawling” slide...... That’s actually my favorite off of Hybrid Theory, so I’m disappointed that it makes your list. But to each their own. 👍 And I am totally with you on missing Chester. May he Rest In Peace!!! 💙 😢
My Top 5 Albums I can listen to all the way through over and over (one per band) Slipknot - Vol 3 Subliminal Verses Breaking Benjamin - Ember Metallica - Ride the Lightning Ghost - Prequelle Daft Punk - Discovery
I can listen to all of Breaking Benjamin albums from front to back except for we are not alone because rain I believe is the last track on there and nope don't like it
My List: 1. Starset - "Waking Up" (Divisions): I get what Starset was going for on this track, but I don't think they quite nailed the atmospheric "vaporwave rock" vibe on it. It's kind of bland and boring, feels almost like filler. 2. Haken - "Red Giant" (Affinity): Just...huh? I have no clue with what Haken was trying to do here. And the audio-clipping on Ray Hearne's snare drum gets pretty annoying after a while. 3. Circus Maximus - "Havoc" (Havoc): Although Havoc has certainly grown on me over time, I still can't get into the title track. Even in context with the whole album, this attempt at aping late 90s industrial metal feels very out of place when all the other songs are more meditative and atmospheric. 4. Stratovarius - "Mother Gaia" (Infinite): Stratovarius attempts a "November Rain"-style power ballad that pushes the 8-minute mark... and it gets really tedious, really fast. Perhaps if this song had been cut down by at least 3 minutes it could have been remotely passable. 5. Nightwish - "Wish I Had an Angel" (Once): I know I will get A TON of hate for this, but hear me out: Once is one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. But I've always felt like "Wish I Had an Angel" sticks out way too much like a sore thumb. It's an awkwardly jarring 4 minutes of chugga-chugga guitar riffs sandwiched between two sweeping symphonic metal tracks. It doesn't flow well with the rest of the album, which is otherwise near flawless, at all.
I definitely disagree on Crawling but cam totally see where you're coming from at the same time All the Small Things I love but don't disagree on. It's a bad song. I just love it anyway.
Songs that make this list for me are Nickelback’s Shakin’ Hands of Dark Horse, Guns ‘N Roses You’re Crazy off Appetite for Destruction, Bon Jovi’s Live Before You Die off The Circle, Mötley Crüe’s Come On And Dance off Too Fast For Love, and Def Leppard’s Excitable off Hysteria
Finally!! I've always said the version of "You're Crazy" on AFD is fucking terrible and out of place. I think they used it because Axl says "fucking" a lot because it has zero going for it. Now, the version on Lies is perfect. That's what that song was intended to sound like, imo.
For Rush, I'ma go with "In The Mood" off their debut and "Tai Shan" off of Hold Your Fire. Rush's debut is nothing ground-breaking, but it's solid rock and roll. "In The Mood" is just corny, with lame hooks and even lamer lyrics. I will never understand how it survived for so long in set-lists. Hold Your Fire is poppier than other Rush albums, but has really creative guitar and synth work. "Tai Shan" though is just a wet fart of a song, built on synth pads and barf-worthy lyrics from Neil. Even the band hates that song, and I skip it every time I put on Hold Your Fire.
God, thank you for including Revolution 9 As a little kid it scared me. Now, my favorite album's cLOUDDEAD self-titled, and when I listen I'm like 'yeah, I see what you were trying to do, but uhhh, you didn't stick the landing'
All within the family by korn on follow the leader, I consider korn’s music pretty timeless but that song is so dated and is just not good. Fred durst doesn’t help.
I actually think that's the only song where I found Fred Durst's voice fitting in. Ironic, cause my favourite part is him screaming "AND YOU HATE MMMMMMMEEEEEEE" lmao
Nacho Cavallo Carbonell it was just a weird song because I consider korn pretty timeless music and that song feels super dated in that area so it’s the one song that’s kinda weird for me
I used to hate your videos but watched them anyway for the controversial opinions, I still disagree with a lot of your opinions on music and particular bands, however I’ve grown to appreciate that everyone has their personal tastes and opinions and I actually enjoy watching your videos these days, even the ones that make me go “what the hell is that song doing on this list!?” Because at the end of the day, we all like what we like, if you enjoy it listen to it whether it is objectively “good” or not, even if I disagree with something on your lists you justify your points well enough for me to say “okay I see where you’re coming from but I still enjoy the song”. Plus it’s funny to look through your comments and see the amount of butthurt down here

I still think No One Else by Weezer is the worst song on the Blue Album. I like the instrumental, but those lyrics... they make me cringe so hard I almost stop listening to the rest of the album.
Make Believe-Korn (Untouchables)
Sign of the Times-Three Days Grace (Transit of Venus)
Sure Feels Right-Sixx AM (This is Gonna Hurt)
Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Supertown-Rob Zombie (Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor)
Warrior-Disturbed (Asylum) I don't hate that track. It just seems more like a leftover from Indestructible
Doing Time-Avenged Sevenfold (Hail to the King)
All I Ever Wanted-Shinedown (Leave a Whisper)
Given-Seether (Karma and Effect)
1984 (infinite jest) by The Used from the album Heartwork
Fantastic album. Terrible track.
@@GetYourChicken17 To me Hail To The King isn't that great of an album, but I do agree 'Doing Time' is a very weak song, easily the worst song on that album. Also I love Dead City Radio, it's so catchy 😛 One of my favourite Rob Zombie tracks.
All The Small Things? Crawling? Kid A? I don't agree with you, but I respect your bravery.
All the Small Things: Yeah this song might be dumb simple and by the numbers, but that's exactly why i like it, it's so dumb i can't help but love it.
Crawling: This song is way too special for me, but even ignoring that, there's a lot going on in Crawling instrumentally speaking, like if you're a musician you'd apreciate its composition. People usually judge it for its lyrics (and even that, a lot of people can relate to them) and overexposure (and that's not the song's fault).
Kid A: Yeah, it's a weird ass track for sure, but that's exactly the kind of shit i expect from Radiohead. It's hard to digest but when it's finally click on you, you come in term with it. It's weird yet not bad per se, quite the opposite.
@@miserirken I agree with you and the post before. Maybe I'm weird, but I like to shuffle my music library, and I have found unique merit behind each song I listen to. I can't remember the last time I sat down and listened to an entire album from beginning to end. Ever since the days of iTunes, Pandora, and Spotify, it has not been necessary to purchase an entire album to enjoy good music. Perhaps this guy has a slightly outdated (but not necessarily less valid) method of consuming music that leads to different conclusions. I don't know. In the end, isn't beauty in the eyes of the beholder?
Crawling is a terrible song. When that album came out I loved it, but crawling was an automatic skip. It was grating. Screaming for the sake of screaming is never good
Couldn't have said it better myself.
@@Boo2012Yah i respect your opinion but i think its a fucking amazing song.
I never realized there were people that really don’t like Crawling. I always thought it was one of the strongest songs on Hybrid Theory. Learn something new every day I guess lol.
tspawn35 same if I start off papercut with the cd in it has to stay on. It’s like a journey
It's bland and monotonous.. Easily the worst track on the album..
Yeah this was surprising, i totally dig crawling
The ReAnimation version of Crawling is better. It's way more vibrant and has better sounds.
My personal HT ranking:
1. Pushing Me Away
2. Points of Authority
3. In The End
4. Papercuts
5. Crawling
6. One Step Closer
7. A Place For My Head
8. Runaway
9. With You
10. Forgotten
11. By Myself
12. Cure For the Itch
So yeah, solid top-half cut for me.
The Downward Spiral is a concept album about a man driven to self destruction by all kinds of thing (disdain for authority, sexual frustration, rejection, ect.). Big Man With a Gun is a major climax in the narritive. It's ugly and difficult to listen to, and that's probobly intentional. Taking that part away is like cutting the chestburster scene out of Alien.
And I don't feel the need to skip it listening to the album.
Thank you for explaining this to him. Some of these lists just iterate how little he understands the music he’s talking about, granted he was probably about 8 when it came out but still, at least pay attention to the music if judging it publicly
I agree that Crawling is simple but it’s backed by real emotion that’ll hit me everytime
Yes crawling is great!this list sucks!!?
Most of the album is pretty simple musically but simple music is sometimes the best.
I didn’t really like the original version at all, but the re-animation version though, that’s a different story
It's why it's a non-listen. I can't listen to that song because its an emotional punch.
Crawling in live piano version and on re-animation album is so much better but i still dont hate the original.
I really like Crawling actually. It just feels so raw and really hits hard after what happened to Chester.
I mean, I get why some could find it cringe, but it comes off as too sincere to really write off.
Hope everyone has fun in the "try not to unsubscribe* challenge!
But really, if you're reading this hear my man out on these, even if I disagree with some ;)
@ARTV ALL my videos are a "try not to unsubscribe* challenge!
I will thanks for your support joke's jokes don't kill me
Jon hopefully FBE isn’t watching because that will be their next challenge I could totally see them having their reactors going to random TH-cam Channels and seeing if they will unsubscribe.
@@Wisconsin222 I would not be surprised if FBE tried something like that
@@RockedNet This video tells me that you are a big fan of ToddintheShadows' Trainwrecked series. :)
I can see why you feel how you do towards crawling, but it didn’t ruin the hybrid theory flow for me. I actually enjoy it.
Its great but that song is yeah cringy but Aaron lewis cover is sad rest in peace chester
Still my favorite LP song, don't care what anybody says.
The ending of Crawling is really beautiful sounding with the piano, guitar, synth, and chester’s harmonized vocals.
Legit read this a d skipped the video before watching
Thomas White it is a really good list tho! I agree with pretty much all of it 😂
Kid A and Big Man with a Gun are the weakest songs on their respective albums but they're still fire imo
Agreed, i love big man with a gun (btw william your remixes are funny, can you make one with a RATM song?)
Big man with a gun is like ‘sweet child o mine’
Disagree with them being the weakest songs on the album's. They are essential to the flow, like a pallet cleanser during a large meal. They serve their purposes well and are both excellent tracks.
When I introduced Kid A to my friend, the title track was actually one of his favorites.
Kid a is so good
"I am a cancer!"
"I am humanity!"
"I am the view!"
"I AM THE TABLE!"
I am the Walrus!
*SEND FOR THE MAN*!
I am the man
@@seamusburke639 God damn it beat me to it
@@seamusburke639 I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
I don’t agree with crawling at all, but I get where you’re coming from. A good chunk of the lyrics in Linkin Park describe Chester’s struggle and we all sadly know how that ended 😔 Rip Chester...
A lot of these songs are spot on, but I seriously disagree with Crawling on Hybrid Theory. That's one of the strongest songs on the album. It's a bit emo, but it's sort relatable.
I thought it was a mindless wall of noise
I just really like the vocals
I'm gonna have to agree with Robin here, it's just noise
Remember this is the same guy who hates Simple Plan to the point where he acts like they have no redeeming qualities, so you have to take just about anything he says with a grain of salt 🧂
The guy that created this video has no life I swear just look at him he acts like he’s got a degree in having confidence but deep down inside he’s really insecure lol
Kid A on a good set of headphones is a god-like album. Start to finish. Even when it drags a bit in spots it still adds to the atmosphere and tone of the album as a whole.
I always thought it was one of the most overrated albums ever made personally, but I respect your opinion
It's a boring song. People like to say they like it to sound smart.
@@danielpatternson6149I agree, and thought so at the time.
When I saw Hybrid Theory on this list I did not think “crawling” was gonna be the song, I thought for sure it was gonna be “cure for an itch”. 🤷🏻♂️😂 agree to disagree. Great list, great video. Rock on 🤘🏼
I thought the same too
To be fair, I don’t consider Cure For The Itch a song
I genuinely like cure for the itch, but I'm also an electronic fan.
I thought it was goin to be "runaway". The most forgettable song on the list. I forgot that it even existed.
Honestly, Cure for the Itch is a cool little instrumental imo, I personally like it more than Crawling or Runaway.
While i kinda disagree on Big Man With A Gun, it is the least good on The Downward Spiral, but i think it's an intentional over the top moment to set up the song after it.
Yep I agree!
Trent Reznor himself said that if he could re-do the album he would leave that song off
edit: just realized how much of a 'well you have to hate it now because Trent does' comment this came off as, just simply wanted to say that as a fun fact
Exactly it makes A Warm Place so much more impactful.
Honestly. Family tree is a difficult song to listen to just because how dark and twisted it is. That doesn't make it a bad song, exactly the opposite. It brilliantly conveys it's message through. It's a song supposed to make you feel bad.
Crawling has lyrics that can relate to a lot of people. Definitely a change-up on the album but good
It’s also got lyrics that are practically impossible to replicate. Just listen to Oli Sykes trying to sing it at the Chester memorial concert.
Yeah I love the clean vocals during the verses.
Too bad All The Small Things will probably be the most remembered song on that album
No that would be What’s My Age Again, you have no idea how many times I’ve heard people (especially millennials) say “nobody likes you when you’re 23” and the video is one of the most iconic and well remembered in TRL history
@@ronstoppable5659 Isn't Adam's Song ALSO on that album?
@@MrT571 yes
@@ronstoppable5659 Video wise, yes I think Whats My Age Again will be rememered for that. As far as the actual audio, All The Small Things gets way more radio play still, and a lot more plays with karaoke and cover bands. It also peaked at #6 on the charts as compared to #58 with WMAA.
@@MrT571 That was my favorite one back when I was 12! It's crazy how much more impact a song like that can have when you're a teenager compared to an adult.
While Crawling and All The Small Things might not have aged well, I still have a soft spot for those songs as I have a fair bit of nostalgia towards them.
Particularly the former, as I'm a huge fan of LP.
As far as Linkin Park goes I went from genuinely liking them, to finding them cringy during university and now I have embraced the cringe and appreciate them culturally, as well as the fact, that their teen angst cringe is still catchy and VERY digestable and feels honest to boot. Can't say the same thing about "All the Small Things". That one's appeal just completely started wearing off on me over time.
Same here. While I won't listen to Crawling by itself anymore, but if I'm listening to Hybrid Theory in full, Crawling isn't going to be skipped.
Crawling was my least favorite Hybrid Theory song as well. Go figure.
Same
I’ve liked Linkin Park since high school (cliche, I know), but I just enjoy their music.
“Crawling” is not high on my list of songs I like from them, but I don’t have too much of a problem with it either.
I like that you included "Crawling" and stick to your guns on it. Personally I disagree, but I'm not the one making the video! Well done, good list!
Another note: 15:28 "What was going through your brain?" * Drugs * Best edit ever!! You get points!
>Bad Songs On Great Albums
>Hybrid Theory in thumbnail
Excuse me, there's an oximoron in your content. There's no such thing as a bad song in Hybrid Theory (nor in Meteora. Both 10/10 albums).
Respect your opinion, but both 10/10? Idk. Still, glad you love it.
I don't look particularly like LP but power to you ig
Agree to disagree I guess.
Hybrid Theory is 10/10. Meteora 8/10 in my opinion.
Totally disagree with Crawling, one of my top favorite by Linkin Park.
I honestly feel like there are cringier lyrics on Hybrid Theory than Crawling. I mean wouldn't say songs like One Step Closer have aged all that well. Anytime I hear that song anymore I get major 'drinking monster and punching drywall' vibes lol.
I think One Step Closer is great. I think everyone has been in that situation where someone was about to push you to the limit. It even suggests that it's a situation he needs to get out of. And while shut up when I'm talking to you could be taken as a wall punching line, I think it's intended more as a shut up and listen to me. But, to each their own.
'I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
And the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's gonna owe it one'
THE cringiest lyric in Linkin Park's career, and #2 cringiest lyric in all of nu-metal, beaten out only by the 'NO MOMMY PLEASE NO' section in Down With The Sickness. Yes, I think it's cringier than 'I did it all for the nookie, so that you could get that cookie, and stick it up your ass'. AND cringier than 'Chocolate Starfish' the song. You wanna talk Livejournal? That's it right there.
Pedro Benoliel This is why I actually think Meteora is better
@@PedroBenolielBonito I really don't see what's wrong with those lines. They were pretty unique to me.
@@PedroBenolielBonito a month old but, those are easily the best lines on the entire album, at the very least on APFMH. Perfectly describes the type of people who do "favors" that you never asked for just so they can hold it against you later. That's a bar right there, and one of the few good raps Mike has on the entire album(not dissing Mike at all, but he definitely dumbed down most of his early stuff to be more commercial.)
Kid A is one of the best off the album TBH, it's such fantastic worldbuilding and a prelude to how futuristic the album is
Cmom man. The National Anthem, Idiotech, Everything In Its Right Place, Treefingers ect. Kid A (the song) is just alright
Listen to the live version from Berlin in 2000.

I’d definitely switch Family Tree with Black Curtain. I love Family Tree no matter how dark and twisted it is.
There isn't one bad song on linkin park's hybrid theory, wth dude.
I agree.
Dyk that Chester doesn’t like Runaway because the “cringy” lyrics lol.
“I’m gonna run away, never say goodbye”
Ok yooperguy25
They're awful
Jeff Shirey: They really are. Too much whining.
Thank you for mentioning “Mother” by The Police, you absolutely nailed it with this one. Such a bad song on an iconic album.
This describes every Queen album for me. Every album is insanely good but each record has one song that's so bad I can't listen to it.
Which one would you consider for A night at the opera? I feel like that album stays very consistent from start to end
@@Salad531 I love most of that album, but it does have a couple of not-so-great songs. Speaking as a car guy, Im in Love with My Car is a real clinker for me, and Im not a fan of Death on 2 Legs.
I personally love the Kid A title track, but I can 100% see why people dislike it, same with la la love you ahahah
When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought he would have chosen tree fingers
Yo wtf, fr? People think that song is bad?? That song is great!
That song is a masterpiece
ayden s that normally is the one
I think it might just be the greatest track ever recorded. People don’t “get it” I guess? The chord progression is achingly beautiful and unique, the song is constantly evolving and stays interesting, and it conveys a level of feeling and emotion I’ve really never found anywhere else.
I’ll occasionally skip “Revolution 9”, but “Wild Honey Pie” is a guaranteed skip every time
Honestly, I love the entire Hybrid Theory album!
Love linkin park and crawling is one of my favorite songs because unlike most superficial music there is a deep meaning behind its lyrics and it’s a great sounding song ... I am 39 now , so I grew up in the good alternative rock and rap era as well as grunge and linkin park was a highlight of the early 2000’s when I was right out of high school ... trust crawling is an awesome song, so is the whole hybrid theory and reanimation which is why they are re-releasing it now and after chesters death will probably do just as well as it did then !
Am I the only one who absolutely loves La La Love You?
The drums, David's, Kim and Franks vocals are amazing
No, I still love the song ,it is a part of the masterpiece album, without it the album would have been worse off.
I think it's hilarious
"Crawling" does have some cringey lyrics on it, but I've honestly never considered LP's lyrics to be amazing (I personally find the first verse of "Leave Out All The Rest" to be really, really lame, but I still love it musically). However, even though the lyrics are the same, its remix on Reanimation, "KRWLNG" is AMAZING. It's a symphonic remix and the choruses aren't screams, with some nice harmonies on them.
Runaway is WAYYYYY more cringey
All the small things is a classic! Slightly overplayed but still!!
@Alex Smith Most Of The Songs from Enema and Take Off Your Pants And Jacket are pretty much a punk inspired tongue in cheek parody of current pop music (with songs like Adam’s Song and Stay Together For The Kids being very obvious exceptions)
I'm suprised Luke didn't take his opportunity to rant about bugs by pearl jam again
I'm weird. I like Bugs. dunno why, I just do.
Vitalogy also had “Heyfoxymophamdle mamma, that’s me”. Mercifully it was the very last track, so the album proper had already ended. However, that track does have some great and very quotable samples you can pepper through conversation, like “Hey, the floor looks byoooooodiful!”, “She prides herself on her cleanliness”, or “I can still fantasise, as long as I.... keep it to myself!”
Probably he didn't have anything to say again or just didn't wanted to repeat
which is amazing cuz that take is actually better than half of this list (Specially Kid A or Crawling)
Glad someone finally pointed out Crawling. If we look at Crawling without nostalia goggles its really clear it's the weakest song on the album, but hey some peolple believe every album should have a ballad type song. That being said I don't think its a bad song, but you're definitely right that it messes with flow of the album.
Adrian Roybal I think In The End does that more than Crawling, because we have songs with heavy guitars and rapping in the verses. And then we have a song that starts with a piano and a sing a long chorus.
*Sees Hybrid Theory in thumbnail*
*Looks in the description*
CRAWLING IN MY SKIN....
All the Small Things, however, is pretty reasonable to me. For a pop punk/skate punk band like Blink 182, the single seemed a bit too pop rock - ish for me. I like Blink's more experimental, dynamic type of songs that aren't too radio - ready, like Always, Stockholm Syndrome, Feeling This, Down, Stay Together for the Kids, The Rock Show, I Miss You, etc.
All but one of those songs were radio singles.
First off, I think All The Small Things is a solid tune, not my favorite but at least better than The Party Song. Second, although I love Filter I will agree there are cringey Richard Patrick moments even in their best albums, but I think Cancer is a decent track, a little weird but I like how the vocals sound. To me it's better than Captain Bligh or Miss Blue, maybe even Welcome to the Fold. Finally... I love Crawling, yeah it's kind of a cliche nu metal song but it's powerful, and nicely utilizes the quiet verse loud chorus approach. High school era me identifies strongly with that tune.
I really like The Party Song. Yeah the lyrics are dumb but they are so much fun. To be honest I think Mutt is the least good song on Enema Of The States.
KISS’s cover of “ And Then She Kissed Me” on “Love Gun” just throws me off every time I hear it. Great album though!
Nice to see Bradley cooper has other ventures besides acting.
Maybe if he gained 80 lbs and started going bald! Lol
Bradley Cooper/Ethan Suplee fusion
Man, I dig most of these songs, save for maybe Mother. Big Man With a Gun especially, I feel like it works great in the context of the album.
Are u serious? Kid A is an amazing song and fits perfectly right after everything in its right place and it’s not boring
NO NOT CRAWLING!!! Lol. Love that song. Hybrid Theory is an album I still listen to to this day and don't skip a single track. Great list though 😁
"Crawling" is a pointless wall of noise
Far Beyond Driven is a good example of “nearly perfect except for one track.”
Good Friends & A Bottle Of Pills (while instrumentally good) is that one skip worthy track in an album while everything else is good.
I understand your position, but due to some childhood memories, I cannot help but still love that song.
I adore that song😂
I actually like Family Tree by Megadeth. I was a sexually abused child. So perhaps I can just relate to it.
The lyrics really don't get to graphic. It actually is tame compared to Daddy by Korn.
NOTHING will compare to Korn's Daddy in terms of disturbing.
Revolution 9 is arguably one of the most influential tracks The Beatles ever produced, in terms of studio fuckery. Rarely had anyone heard that sort of experimentation before, and to expose that to the masses, rather than niche underground 60's counter-culture, I think was a huge deal. The track alone has influenced Avant-garde and experimental musicians and artists.
and It sounds great when ripped on lsd. but yeah, it is definitely art. this was the days before samples, everything had to be spliced on tape. not everyone's cup of (mushroom) tea and I would often skip it when listening as a teen (except for previously mentioned pharmaceuticals). I needed a beat! I think some if it is hate for Yoko. yeah yeah yeah she broke up the Beatles (she didn't, that was in the works for a while according to Peter Brown's Biography). cheers
Yeah, it was providing a platform for 'artists' without talent like Yoko Ono
Cool experiment, awesome art but terrible song.
It's objectively a bad song but a cool sound
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Pink Floyd's debut has some Musique concrete moments, ie the end of Bike.
As was said, sound collages and tape experiments were far from "rare" back in '68. However, they were mostly limited to "classical" composers and other academic artists like Luigi Nono and Stockhausen. The remarkable thing about Revolution 9 is that it's done by pop artists, and you can hear the pop sensibilities in that track: it's far more narrative, dynamic, intense and also _humourous_ than "classical" tape experiments tended to be back then. Also, it's good to remember that, even though Lennon was largely responsible for putting the track in the album, all of the Beatles were into this kind of stuff. From Paul McCartney's accounts, _Carnival of Light_ was even more bonkers.
If you wanna hear some really boring and unimpressive "avantgarde", listen to _Two Virgins_ by John and Yoko. I think that album deserves all the critique that Revolution 9 (unfairly) gets.
P.S.: saying that Revolution 9 is the result of drugs is so fucking normie.
Amen to the blink entry. I fucking love blink and fucking hate this song. Then they wrote the rock show in like 10 minutes just to satisfy the studio execs
Fully agree. All the Small Things is hot garbage.
I honestly have a soft spot for Crawling, cheesy as it may be.
Granted, I was a nihilistic brat when I was younger and this developed my gothic look and lifestyle, however I can definitely see how it can be a turn off for some.
Maybe I just like depressing things...
I admire depressing, dark, gothic imagery, story - telling, and outlooks of life, as well. There's something about it that entices me. Probably because it brings out more artistry and edge than when talking about light. And this is coming from a Christian.
I love Linkin Park even more now than I did in middle school. I discovered about a decade ago that Crawling was actually the worst song on the album and I have grown accustomed to skipping it consistently and leaving it off of my LP playlist. I’ve had arguments with friends about it, so I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Also, I was expecting Escape from Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning” to make the list. I don’t mind it but it sounds like a completely different band and the band has gone on record saying they hate the track.
When I saw Hybrid Theory, I thought it would be Runaway... In my opinion, the lyrics are worse than Crawling
I thought it would be Cure for the itch. It's ok, but really it's just Joe Hahn having fun.
It's in the end for me so overplayed so overrated so outdated it didn't age well
Glad to see that I’m not the only person who despises Family Tree
I'm just glad you didn't put Endless Nameless on here. That Twitter poll scared the hell outta me ^ ^;;
I'm quite shocked that you considered "Title of Record" to be a great album, considering how [criminally] underrated it is. Still, I love "Cancer" just 'cause it has such a cool atmosphere and those last two minutes are perfect, IMO. But yeah, I'll admit, the lyrics are still really cheesy (apparently, it's supposed to be about the environment).
I feel that a decent chunk of Richard Patrick's lyrics don't flow all that well, but he's still an awesome composer and performer (although his voice nowadays is shot). I like how the vocals sound on Cancer, it's a decent track on an otherwise excellent album.
I agree that cancer is an underrated song. When the song goes uptempo towards the end, I consider that a dynamic master stroke, and Darcy’s vocals give it a unique atmosphere. Not a low point on the album, but an underrated number whose dynamic contrasts eventually grow on you.
I like the song too, there are worse tracks off Title of Record and all of The Aumulent imo
I'm not a fan of Drowning Pool's work after Dave Williams' unfortunate passing, but "Sinner" has become an underrated gem of an album. From the title track to "Sermon", this album shows the potential of the band's talent... except for the second track "Bodies".
This is the one track I skip every time. It's stupid, repetitive and has aged poorly... and somehow it's the song they're best known for. I know a lot may disagree and like the nostalgia factor behind this song, but to me this should've been kept on paper.
I agree with u on this one.. it’s too repetitive
I like how repetitive it is. It’s something I can get behind and yell 1, 2, 3,
I stand beside Kid A.
It was perfect for wake and bake as a teenager when weed was still this exciting magical experience. Lol.
Go outside around 7am with headphones.
A few of mine
Parklife -"Clover Over Dover"
Demon Days -"All Alone"
Plastic Beach -"Sweepstakes"
Nevermind -"Something on the way"
Licensed to ill- "Rhymin and Stealin"
Making Movies -"Les Boys"
Beautiful Freak -"Mental"
Homework -"Rock N Roll"
The Who Sell Out -"Silas Stingy"
L H something in the way is very good in my opinion, but I get it how it feels different from the rest of the album
I think "All Alone" is great, but definitely agree with "Sweepstakes".
You did not just diss Clover Over Dover.
One of, if not the best track on Parklife. The instrumentation is gorgeous, and Graham's licks are so melodic and memorable, almost transcendental.
Daniel Almeida something in the way is the perfect ending to an album (even though technically endless nameless ended nevermind)
Every Song On Demon Days Is Legendary
Pea from One Hot Minute by RHCP (One of their best albums). It's a novelty song, which doesn't really fit on an album which for the part is taking itself very seriously with songs like Warped, Aeroplane, Shallow be thy Game, along with Deep Kick. And Flea also sounds pretty awful on the song as well. OHM could've done without it.
100% agree on this. I don’t know why One Hot Minute gets so much hate, it has some great tracks, and it’s much better than some of the later Chilli Peppers albums.
Oh definitely. A lot of people hate on One Hot Minute because it's the album after John Frusciante left (the first time), and I prefer him on guitar for RHCP but I like the extra bit of edge Dave Navarro brought for that album, lots of great songs. Pea is NOT one of them, good god what a stupid song lol.
Loved Filter back in the day! Glad I'm not the only one who remembers them.
I definitely commend you for your opinion on Crawling. As I grew up, I, too, was interested why this was the second biggest song off HT.
My guess is the simplicity of it made it more easily relatable to the public at the time and, of course, the raw emotion you can clearly see Chester giving to the song. I don't think it's bad by any stretch nor does it interrupt the flow of the album (not any more than your typical ballad on a rock album), but I do agree Points of Authority, One Step Closer, Place for My Head, Forgotten, Papercut, and most other songs on the album are better by comparison.
I think Iron Maiden's Gangland should have been here. I don't like Number Of The Beast that much anyway but this nasaly, generic, terribly sung deep cut is one of their worst. It really comes to some of the worst parts of modern and 90's Maiden which is saying something if you have heard those albums
Even Maiden themselves have said it's not a great song.
@@TH3F4LC0Nx , yeah it really isn't
TH3 F4LC0N Honestly The Number of the Beast is a really weird album. It’s highs are so high, but lows are so low. Invaders, Gangland, Total Eclipse (for the 1998 re-release) all kill the album. Hell, Invaders STARTS the album and the chorus ruins it. Should’ve started with the record with the title track to be honest
@@thenoodledrop I'll go to bat for Invaders and Gangland, but yeah, Total Eclipse is kind of lame. I always skip that one.
Powerslave and Seventh Son are way more consistent, even if the singles aren't as iconic.
@@thenoodledrop Oh man, the chorus of Invaders is so bad... I could never get into the album because of it. Piece Of Mind is so much better, why do we always have to endure Run To The Hills and all the singles at concerts..
I'm a major Tool fan, but if I'm being honest here... "Cesaro Summability". I know it's more of a segue track than an actual song, but if "Revolution 9" was fair game, this one is too. Love Ænima as an album, but I could do without the baby screeching in my ear.
(-) Ions, my guy. If Revolution 9 can be here, (-) Ions would be my pick. Four minutes of electric noises...I’d rather have the loud baby from Cesaro Summability
In defence of Crawling, it's a softspot for me: it's the first Linkin' Park song I ever heard at 13. I still feel like it holds up as the lyrics are...immature but the powerful presentation and performance of it was what made it a hit and a classic.
13:34 No, Runaway is the Live Journal entry of a 15-year old. I think that song has aged WAY worse than Crawling. At least it never got ruined by memes like Crawling and In The End did.
Runaway definitely has some cheesy lyrics, but I think the music grooves better (and matches the energy and tone of the rest of the album) than Crawling.
The version of Crawling from Reanimated feels much better, turning the slower pace into a way to build symphonic sounds.
Yeah, I usually don't care for remixes/remix albums, but Reanimation is one of the few exceptions. The versions of Papercut and My December are awesome.
I don't know about anyone else, but I always wondered what a Reanimation-style remix of Meteora would sound like, with track titles like "F8nt", "4wrd", "S0mwhere 1 Blng" or something lol.
Meh, Cure for the Itch and Session I think are fine. Reminds me of Magic Medicine by Incubus. There aren't too many turntable/scratch instrumental tracks out there, I guess that was a 90s/early 2000s thing haha.
i was about to bring up runaway, that's a way better contender for worst aged song on hybrid theory.
Micro Cuts by Muse. Words cannot describe how much I love Origin Of Symmetry. My favorite album from my favorite band. But Matt...PLEASE tone it down a bit on that one.
I still love Micro Cuts
GNVS YES. Especially after that monster of a song
Nah, the falsetto is genuinely impressive, and the outro adds a nice sense of closure (even if both elements are borderline ripoffs of Jeff Buckley and Rage Against The Machine respectively). Solid track.
Bliss, on the other hand, is just a whole bunch of nothing. Actual pointless wailing and insipid vocal melody. A total blemish on an otherwise near-perfect album.
SPInc I definitely won’t deny it’s impressive. I actually enjoy Bliss though. Definitely not the most memorable track on the album, but great nonetheless
Chester's vocals on Crawling are maybe his best
I don't think they're his best but definitely top 3
I get why people think songs like "All the Small Things" and "Crawling" aren't the greatest, but I don't get why people outright hate them. I believe there's a place for music written by adults that sounds like it was written by teenagers, because teenagers are going to want music that sounds like something they would write and it's probably better that we have adults do it than give gigantic record deals to random kids.
Family tree is like one of my favorite megadeth songs, its melodic, got kinda sick lyrics (Also metal ones) and an amazing solo. Idk what your talking about lol but anyway good video I enjoyed.
Mother is my favorite song on Synchronicity, but I'm pretty sure that just means I don't like The Police
I like that song too. It would have fit better on one of the earlier ep's.
I like it too. It would have been nice to see more Andy Sumners songs on the Police albums. He has this quirky oddness to him, take Be My Girl Sally.
@@gallaghim how about Dead End Job?
I love On any other day.
The most chilling track they did was Once Upon A Nightmare.
In the end is way weaker than crawling
The Crunge - Led Zeppelin
The Refugee - U2
the music in The Crunge is great, but my God, Robert Plant's rambling bullshit lyrics in that song make it unbearable! I don't even think he wrote any, it sounds like he improv'd in one take and said "Fuck it, good enough."
granted, so many people consider Plant a god amongst frontmen, when all I see and hear is an average lyricist with a whiny voice & a massive ego, so I might just be biased
The Crunge kicks ass! I don't get why people dislike it.
Oh I thought you were gonna say cure for the itch
I usually skip Revolution 9 and yeah it's a fever dream, however i think that this is still an important song, i'd much rather listen to it than Good Night, and the fact that they closed the album with that
Cap on La la la love you and Kid A. Love you honestly is great for being a comedic centrepiece/interlude, it’s simply, funny, and catchy. It helped balance and maintain pacing after Crackity Jones and before No. 13. Kid A honestly has a haunting and soulless vibe that is pretty reminiscent of Ok Com, it fits in well (imo) within the the depress isolation of the Album.
And yeah Revolution 9 doesn’t need to exist. I agree on that one
“All the Small Things,” is thought of fondly, but imagine hearing it if it hadn’t had such an iconic, legitimately funny video.
TH-cam search "what makes this song great all the small things"
You think All the Small Things has an overuse of the words “na na na na”? But have you even listened to Hey Jude by the Beatles?
My list (Top 5):
1. Deftones- Rats!Rats!Rats!: I am a huge Deftones fan but I HATE this song! I know most people will say Pink Cellphone was their worst (and it's pretty bad, a close 2nd) but I find Rats extremely annoying and it lacks any sort of hook. I'm pretty sure they wrote this song just to make all their emo fans happy.
2. Anthrax- Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.): Among the Living is one of their best albums but this song was AWFUL. Way too much "everyone in the band jump in the mic and chant" to the point it just became cheesy and goofy.
3. Scorpions- Hell-Cat: Virgin Killer was a pretty solid Scorpions record (provided you get the one with the band on the cover, the original was very disturbing) but this song sounded almost like a goofy funk/hip-hop tune combined with horrible vocals from Uli Jon Roth (seriously, he should have just left the vocals to Klause; someone who can actually sing).
4. AC/DC- Mistress For Christmas: The lyrics and the tune itself were laughably bad. Razor's Edge was okay for the most part, but this song had more cheese than the state of Wisconsin.
5. Motorhead- Jailbait: I know most fans consider Ace of Spades to be their pinnacle album, but I personally find the lyrics to this song to be sickening and repulsive. Many of Motorhead's songs may be about sex but I find it disgusting to write a song about a grown man having sex with an underage girl and choosing to ignore the fact that she's probably not legal yet. This song is the one and only reason why I do not own the album.
Anyway, that is my list. If you like it, great! If not, don' t care.
Say what about NFL?
Also, Mistress for Christmas? REALLY? There's much worse songs IN THAT SAME ALBUM, let alone the rest of DC's discography.
You can hate Rats if you want but trying to say that it has no hook is just false.
I've grown up with Linkin Park so I probably am biased, but I've always liked Crawling. The lyrics very much described me when I went into my "Ooh I'm so depressed no one gets me" phase, but I still like it now, while actually being depressed. They have better songs and better lyrics, but there are other songs I skip way more than Crawling 🙈
Been watching a lot of your videos lately because I randomly found you, nice work! 💜
Crawling from Linkin Park was a bit much... There's a reason why it was a meme. It went a little too hard on the "I'm a rebellious loner teenager" trope.
javis88h But it’s about drug problems, and how drugs can feel like they’re crawling in your skin.
It is a touch melodramatic, and very much a song for teens. I'm not sure that's such a bad thing, honestly. Crawling is still a weird choice to me, though I haven't heard this album from beginning to end in years. 36 year old me may not like it as much as 16 year old me.
See I like crawling but even I can admit it's one of the weaker songs on hybrid theory
Well, wasn't expecting to be in the end card already lol. Thanks Luke!
That was a fair list. Personally, I have nostalgia for "All The Small Things" as a karaoke track with my brother but even I'll admit it's not special.
And I respect your view towards "Crawling". (I'll even admit it could have been swapped with "In The End" as far as placement goes). I do genuinely think that while it is cheesy in moments, it is one of Chester's best vocal deliveries on Hybrid Theory. That is definitely bias on my end. I'll own that.
"Linkin Park wouldn't release a song like Crawling in 2020"
Yeah they wouldn't, cause their singer committed suicide because the lyrics of Crawling were an honest expression of the depression he lived with for decades.
Bit tone deaf to say lyrics written by a man who killed himself sound too angsty to take seriously.
Crawling just became "meme-able" thanks to the chorus part. 😂
In defense of "No Friend": I think it works well in the setup of the album, specifically with the other two end tracks "Idle Worship" and "Tell Me How". "Idle Worship" feels like Hayley's anger toward some of her fanbase finally breaking through the walls she set up, and "No Friend" feels like the cavalcade (spelling) of emotions rushing through the break. Once that nightmarish rush of all the dark emotions is over, it leads into "Tell Me How", which feels like Hayley is exhausted to the point of "tell me how to feel now". Does "No Friend" work on its own? Not at all. However, it never felt designed that way.
I SCREAMED when I saw the Strong Bad graphic. That video with the part about lalas and nanas has always stuck with me. When I had a radio show in college, we did one show where every song in the playlist had to have lalas in the lyrics. It was a lot.
LIMOZEEN!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely a vote for Feed the Childrens, don't know what they were thinking there
laaa laaa
na na na
hey hey
doo doot doo
Some of my picks:
Until It Breaks - Living Things (Linkin Park)
The Danger in Starting a Fire - For Those Who Have Heart (A Day To Remember)
Kings of the Here and Now - Walk The Plank (Zebrahead)
Sure Feels Right - This Is Gonna Hurt (Sixx:A.M.)
Hard agree on Until It Breaks
IMO:
D'yer Mak'er - Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin
They're Red Hot - Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers (although it's a cover)
Fluff - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath
I like d'yer Mak'er
D'yer Mak'er? That's... It's not a bad song, but I can see how you could think it's the least good on the album. It does at least have the clever wordplay in the title.
What what what. D'yer Mak'er is a great song.
Agreed on d’yer mak’er, honestly not a fan of the song at all. And especially since rest of the album is so good it’s definitely grounds to appear on this list
xxdarknight103xx thank you, that's what i think too!
As uncomfortable as the family tree lyrics makes me feel the music in the song is fucking good
1:03: trent himself say that if he had more time, this song would not have been on the album
Since I love your channel and have busted a gut laughing so hard on a few of your horrible album reviews (i. e. Simple Plan: ...Still Not Getting Any.....I have never laughed so hard ...EVER. 😂😂🤣🤣) and because I wholeheartedly agree with you on “Revolution 9” I will let your opinion of “Crawling” slide...... That’s actually my favorite off of Hybrid Theory, so I’m disappointed that it makes your list. But to each their own. 👍 And I am totally with you on missing Chester. May he Rest In Peace!!! 💙 😢
I don't like Blink-182 at all, but I like when they say 'work sucks'. I can relate.
My Top 5 Albums I can listen to all the way through over and over (one per band)
Slipknot - Vol 3 Subliminal Verses
Breaking Benjamin - Ember
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Ghost - Prequelle
Daft Punk - Discovery
I can listen to all of Breaking Benjamin albums from front to back except for we are not alone because rain I believe is the last track on there and nope don't like it
My List:
1. Starset - "Waking Up" (Divisions): I get what Starset was going for on this track, but I don't think they quite nailed the atmospheric "vaporwave rock" vibe on it. It's kind of bland and boring, feels almost like filler.
2. Haken - "Red Giant" (Affinity): Just...huh? I have no clue with what Haken was trying to do here. And the audio-clipping on Ray Hearne's snare drum gets pretty annoying after a while.
3. Circus Maximus - "Havoc" (Havoc): Although Havoc has certainly grown on me over time, I still can't get into the title track. Even in context with the whole album, this attempt at aping late 90s industrial metal feels very out of place when all the other songs are more meditative and atmospheric.
4. Stratovarius - "Mother Gaia" (Infinite): Stratovarius attempts a "November Rain"-style power ballad that pushes the 8-minute mark... and it gets really tedious, really fast. Perhaps if this song had been cut down by at least 3 minutes it could have been remotely passable.
5. Nightwish - "Wish I Had an Angel" (Once): I know I will get A TON of hate for this, but hear me out: Once is one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. But I've always felt like "Wish I Had an Angel" sticks out way too much like a sore thumb. It's an awkwardly jarring 4 minutes of chugga-chugga guitar riffs sandwiched between two sweeping symphonic metal tracks. It doesn't flow well with the rest of the album, which is otherwise near flawless, at all.
I definitely disagree on Crawling but cam totally see where you're coming from at the same time
All the Small Things I love but don't disagree on. It's a bad song. I just love it anyway.
Wow, Paramore. I went to their concert in 2018 and yeah No Friend is odd especially during their live show. But Hayley was fun to watch.
Songs that make this list for me are Nickelback’s Shakin’ Hands of Dark Horse, Guns ‘N Roses You’re Crazy off Appetite for Destruction, Bon Jovi’s Live Before You Die off The Circle, Mötley Crüe’s Come On And Dance off Too Fast For Love, and Def Leppard’s Excitable off Hysteria
Finally!! I've always said the version of "You're Crazy" on AFD is fucking terrible and out of place. I think they used it because Axl says "fucking" a lot because it has zero going for it.
Now, the version on Lies is perfect. That's what that song was intended to sound like, imo.
If there's one awful song by Gn'R it's My World off of UYI2.
@@GettingYourNerdOn Obviously, but he already mentioned that in his “Bad Songs by Good Artists” video
@@thehardie-boy3090 Oh, good to know. I haven't watched that one yet lol
For Rush, I'ma go with "In The Mood" off their debut and "Tai Shan" off of Hold Your Fire.
Rush's debut is nothing ground-breaking, but it's solid rock and roll. "In The Mood" is just corny, with lame hooks and even lamer lyrics. I will never understand how it survived for so long in set-lists.
Hold Your Fire is poppier than other Rush albums, but has really creative guitar and synth work. "Tai Shan" though is just a wet fart of a song, built on synth pads and barf-worthy lyrics from Neil. Even the band hates that song, and I skip it every time I put on Hold Your Fire.
God, thank you for including Revolution 9
As a little kid it scared me.
Now, my favorite album's cLOUDDEAD self-titled, and when I listen I'm like 'yeah, I see what you were trying to do, but uhhh, you didn't stick the landing'
All within the family by korn on follow the leader, I consider korn’s music pretty timeless but that song is so dated and is just not good. Fred durst doesn’t help.
Christopher Bingham me too
@Christopher Bingham Also My World from GNR's Use Your Illusion II.
I actually think that's the only song where I found Fred Durst's voice fitting in.
Ironic, cause my favourite part is him screaming "AND YOU HATE MMMMMMMEEEEEEE" lmao
Nacho Cavallo Carbonell it was just a weird song because I consider korn pretty timeless music and that song feels super dated in that area so it’s the one song that’s kinda weird for me
@@Evan-cw7vi Oh....fair point
I used to hate your videos but watched them anyway for the controversial opinions, I still disagree with a lot of your opinions on music and particular bands, however I’ve grown to appreciate that everyone has their personal tastes and opinions and I actually enjoy watching your videos these days, even the ones that make me go “what the hell is that song doing on this list!?” Because at the end of the day, we all like what we like, if you enjoy it listen to it whether it is objectively “good” or not, even if I disagree with something on your lists you justify your points well enough for me to say “okay I see where you’re coming from but I still enjoy the song”. Plus it’s funny to look through your comments and see the amount of butthurt down here
