Let's face it ; even our musical heroes have recorded some lower-grade material .
Make a list of songs from your faves you wish they never wrote/recorded ! Just for fun, this may be funny !
Coming back to life by Pink Floyd (Division Bell) springs to mind
Anagram by Rush (Presto)
When others come to mind I'll write them down here !  ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |

Maybe this is a wrong answer, but I happen to love Eloy's The Apocalypse whilst still feeling my toes curl up whenever he starts singing with that heavy German accent.

LaBrie's vocals in that song don't work but I always thought the sax part itself was quite nice personally. As for me, with regards to DT, when Portnoy growls in 'A Nightmare to Remember' or the entire concept for 'The Great Debate'... God that song didn't age well.

Ugh, that part of "A Nightmare to Remember" was just horrible; especially because the lyrics were just as awful as the vocal performance. Anyway, another few cringeworthy songs that come to mind are Genesis - Illegal Alien Yes - Circus of Heaven Rush - I Think I'm Going Bald |

1) Jon Anderson singing about people on "crack" - it just doesn't work for me - should stick to "Dawn of light.." 2) The bit off Drama when they sing "You and me - by the sea - taking in tranquility" or something like that - I've kept away from it ever since! 3) Another brick in the wall part 1 - "Daddy what did you leave behind for me?" - er sorry son - apart from my life, not much else to give you know?I think Gilmour was right to say the album was a bit whinny

I love Porcupine Tree as much as the next guy, but a few of their lyrics make me cringe a little. "My X-Box is a god to me" "It's so erotic when your makeup runs" "I was born in '67, the year of Sgt Pepper and Are You Experienced" Just a bit obvious and heavy handed, lyrics that kind of stick out when your listening and sound like he's trying a bit to hard to be deep. My wife, by the way, has said the same thing about Rush lyrics on "Spirit of Radio", which I happen to think are fantastic lyrics. Different strokes and all that. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

The obligatory "Your own special way" PFM - "Is my face on straight". Particularly when they sing the line "As long as you are not sick or poor, a negro or a queer" which ends with a painful falsetto. All of ELP's "works".

"XBOX is a god to me" isn't good on it's own, but Steven is impersonating an average 15 year old kid. I quite like the lyrics of FOABP. "It's so erotic when your makeup runs" I've always loved this too. "I was born in '67, the year of Sgt Pepper and Are You Experienced" Now this really isn't one of Steven's best To answer the question, I don't think there are any songs that made me cringe, though there are quite a few boring ones and ones that are just bad. edit: Just remembered Owner of a Lonely Heart. It's even worse when it gets in my head.

Another Day isn't bad, no harm there. A Nightmare to Remember was fine aside from Portnoy's singing. I prefer Portnoy in Prophets of War, though only marginally. His singing on DT's rendition of Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/etc was his worst though. |

I've been waiting for a thread like this for years...hope I can get some kind of therapeutic relief here... 1) Genesis - Follow You, Follow Me (ick...cheesy love song) 2) Yes - Onward (ick...another cheesy love song) 3) Genesis - Say it's Alright Joe (just plain sucks) 4) Genesis - Your Own Special Way (ick...yet another cheesy love song, the start of the Genesis downfall) 5) ELP - A Taste of My Love (painfully embarrasing lyrics) 6) King Crimson - Peoria (several unendurable minutes of a pointless sax solo, sorry Mel) 7) Jethro Tull - Budapest ("She wouldn't make love but she could make a good sandwich"??? seriously???) 8) VDGG - Firebrand (the "I ride an icy stallion" section is the worst thing Peter Hammill has ever sung...ever) 9) ELP - Nutrocker (it doesn't fit with anything else on this great album and is an awful way to end it) ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Holy, I always found Steven's lyric on much of that song as kind of...idiotically clever?! They capture bulls**t teenage rebellion and `don't give a f**k' attitude pretty well....sorry for the swearing, kids! 
On the topic of `songs that make me cringe' and Porcupine Tree, I'm afriad that section of `The Incident' where Steven's singing `I'm taking control, I'm taking control, I draw the la-hine' etc is just embarrasing....like bad teenage emo indie pop....for f**k's sake, Steven, you're a grown man lol!

Anyway, Melo, you're spot on, the verses are sublime! Then that chorus....I was honestly surprised Wilson sounded so...juvenile on that bit. Like it's a bad teenage rebellion song....kind of like `Screw you man, I'll do what I like!' lol! :) Most of the rest is nice, and `I Drive The Hearse' is especially superb

Hi, Actually not a whole lot of this stuff makes me cringe ... I think the last time was when some folks started posting in this board something about a "proggy bass" ... I really want to start a new thread and we need a "proggy guitar" thread, another about a "proggy groupie" (shame they won't be as nice looking as Miss Pam a few years back!), another about a "proggy drum set" (must have 387 toms and 129 cymbals and 743 drum stix and be caged!), another about ... Actually I think the last cringe I had was when Dean suggested I take a pottie break ... no ... wait ... wrong ... when I heard Metal Machine Jargon by Lou Reed ... I think I knew what a finger was all about on that day, and I no longer needed to cringe by listening to bad stuff and thinking that all folks in this world are perfect and say the nicest, or the stupidest, things! TGIF for me! Yeahhhh!!! No cringes!

| Pretty much everything by Opeth prior to Heritage. I like the Heritage album a good deal, but I can't stand everything they did before. After I got Heritage (my first prolonged musical listening experience with Opeth) I went back and tried to gel with their earlier stuff and I still could not stand it. The music is decent, but as soon as the "vocals" kick in the whole thing is ruined for me. I cannot stand the growling, gut vomiting vocals; grates on my ears, my musical sensibilities and just about every fiber of my being. |

Chopper - good call, that `Teakbois' is excruciating!! About half of that ABWH album is good, the rest is pretty lousy. That carribean/calypso thing `Hope For The Future on Marillion's `This Strange Engine' is pretty wretched too, but not as bad, and I do really enjoy that album.
But I had something of an awakening today. I was in a nearby second hand record shop, and they were playing Billy Joel's `Still Rock N Roll To Me' (I assume that's the title), and about two minutes in I thought `God, this song is the cheesiest piece of garbage I've ever heard' lol! Aboslutely dire and unbearable, from the sappiest drip in pop music. I felt like turning to others in store saying `Is anyone else hearing this s**t?!'

The Great Debate is an excellent song, in my opinion, very intense and quite unique in DT's catalog; but while I like the idea of writing a song about embryonic stem cell research, the band's refusal to actually take a side on the issue (at least you can't tell what they think from the song) made the song sound somewhat tentative and kind of pointless lyrically.
I think it's supposed to be sympathetic and critical at the same time; about people who are enslaved to the kind of thinking he's singing about. I think it works as a critique of nihilism among youth, but definitely not if you try to apply it to teenagers in general. I'm 18 and have only ever known a few people who were anywhere near like this. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

I don't know about that...I mean how many people that bought "And Then There Were Three" because of "Follow You Follow Me" also grew to like Peter Gabriel era Genesis? If you found Genesis through "Follow You Follow Me" I'd bet you'd more like the dozens of other Phil Collins fronted rubbish songs that followed rather than the proggy Peter Gabriel songs that preceded ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

The football crowd singing/chanting at the end of Fearless on Meddle. It is a really fantastic song up to that point and, nowadays, I always chop the track.
It was an interesting idea but PF should have applied some Quality Control when they listened to it. If it had been just 10 seconds worth it would have been fine but it goes on and on (Also, was it a breach of copyright?) |

One thing that makes me cringe is the spoken word narrative interlude or intro concerning concept albums & such. Some I can handle, such as the numerous ones that pop up in Moody Blues albums even if they are often silly and sometimes borderline cringeworthy (Higher And Higher is particularly unintentionally funny though I like the rockin music). Then there's stuff like Jeremy Irons intro to Touchstone's Wintercoast album in which I can imagine him thinking "I can't believe this bollocks I'm spouting". Some progressive metal bands with a running theme do these painful interludes as well, such as Rhapsody (Of Fire). The narrative near the middle of their Rain of a 1000 Flames album is a howler if it weren't so embarrassing to sit through. There's others I've heard that I do my best to forget. |

Talking only about the music that it well known and that I do own: - Most of Yes (yep ..). After Fragile and CTTE, Yes had become progressively unbearable to my ear, peaking at the gawd-awful Drama and then some. I do appreciate, though, the commonly despised Tormato - despite its dumb cover art. I don't know why. - Bill Bruford's Feels Good to Me and Chick Corea's Return to Forever, in the parts where Annette Peacock and Flora Purim (respectively) sing. - All of Asia that I have heard. - Most of Sigur Ros (the meowing vocals positively drive me up the wall).. Strangely, I don't mind Jonsi's solo albums - with the same meowing vocals and all. - Ozric Te.. never mind ... other than Underslunky, their stuff seems to have been scientifically designed to overstimulate and irritate and .. sorry :) |

Meddle is the only PF album that has nothing about it that I hate. Including that, including San Tropez, including Seamus, including whale farts. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow"> https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

Used to really like Wish, but it suffered play fatigue almost as bad as Dark Side. Never was big on Animals.

| Pretty much anything by Supertramp. The Logical Song? Really? The wussiest thing since Neil Sedaka! |

I should have thought of them, now they really are cringeworthy. The one at the start of "In search of the lost chord" is bad enough and as for "Cold hearted orb that rules the night".

I know I know!
Still the opening for "Higher and Higher" gets me everytime...."Blasting, billowing, bursting forth with the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes"
