Which song do you skip usually during a listening of your favourite album(s)? Or which song defaces a general impression of above mentioned?
 
Shortly, the weakest link? 
 
My vote (well-known albums):
 
The Clap (The Yes Album)
Anyone´s Daughter (Deep Purple: Fireball)
Cat Food (King Crimson: In The Wake of Poseidon)
Are You Ready Eddy? (ELP: Tarkus)
Seamus (Pink Floyd: Meddle)
 
EDIT: I´ve  meant  Seamus in place of San Tropez. And Jugband Blues is quite good.

Possibly The Clap does because its live, but none of the others stick out.

It´s your opinion, I feel it in other way.

Your own special way/Wot Gorilla - Genesis from WAW
Ballad of Big - Genesis from ATTWT
Misunderstanding - Genesis from Duke
Jeremy Bender - ELP from BSS
Moonchild - King Crimson from ITCOTCK
She Chameleon - Mrillion from Fugazi



These spring to mind. I've just realised I dont have a Yes album where I skip any tracks. The same goes for Rush (among the albums I would regard as 5 star 'masterpieces)
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I agree with quite a few that were already mentioned: The Clap, Your Own Special Way, Are You Ready Eddy and Jeremy Bender.
Though I disagree with some too: Anyone's Daughter, Cat Food and San Tropez. Three great songs that fit the album, specially San Tropez!
 
Now of my own:
 
More Fool Me - Selling England by the Pound
Another Day - Images & Words
Rain Dances - Rain Dances (Camel)
Living Sin - Trilogy
Knots - Octopus (yeah kill me now)
Bellycan - Legend

I only tend to skip a track if it's had a lot of airplay.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

COOL! You've got music playing through the air in U.S.A?! Now that's what I call technology!

Jugband Blues is the best song on that album.
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
