Fan Favourites You Can't Get Into - lampshade29 - 07-20-2004

For some reason I have never liked Save The Planet. But most people I talk to love it. I'm not sure why, but I think it is the only flaw on Phantom Power. The only song keeping it from being a perfect album.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has songs like that.

i could include the Bastard too, but I'm not sure how popular it is.

I agree with you on Save the Planet. I seem to skip it almost every time I hear it. I think the last few songs on Music at Work never get any appreciation as well.

save the planet is slowly growing on me..never used to give it a chance, but i've decided to..the bastard I LOVE...my fan fave i can't get into is Courage...don't know what it is, but i've never gotten into that....

I like Planet.
I do not like Train Overnight.
Stops my white boy ass from moving at a show.

OK, let me rephrase that.
The only time my white butt "dances" is when I am at a Hip show.
A couple of songs kill the mood for me, because there is no "dancing" rhythm.
Fireworks and Train are just two of them. I do not like them live.

Don't know why but never got into Tiger the Lion, and for whatever reason the darkest one and 700ft Ceiling

Wow... it definitely takes balls to post that message!

I really haven't been able to get into Summer's Killing Us yet, but I'm still giving it a chance to grow on me. As far as other albums go, I'm not the biggest Silver Jet fan, Tiger the Lion's fine and 700 ft. Ceiling doesn't make me move like most others.

I love Save the Planet. It's New Orleans is Sinking I can't stand. Don't get me wrong though, it's a great song and it's the ultimate Hip classic, but man, when they play New O these days, it does absolutely nothing for me. Not to mention the fact that they don't even bother to jam on it or make it interesting anymore. The last few shows I've seen, they've just kinda gone through the motions and played the straight-forward album version, which is rather disappointing. I'm also a little tired of Fireworks, Little Bones, and Blow at High Dough.

But hey, maybe that's just me.

yeah..i know it takes balls....i've seen the hip 19 times, and i'm always getting looks when i don't "rock out" to that tune like everyone else, yet i go crazy if they play opiated!! (which i've only seen twice!) silver jet, i agree..like it on the album, but live it has never done much for me

I've said it once, and I'll say it again...I love them alll!

you can honestly say there isn't one hip tune you don't like or don't get into? are we including the EP?

- clearlyentranced - 07-20-2004

Yes, I can honestly say I love every single song.

that's cool....and really..it's not that i hate courage..just don't really dig it..but even a hip song i can't get into is better than 99 % of the crap on the radio!!!

- tragicallymike - 07-20-2004

in concert i cant stand:
1. fireworks - out of 25 concerts ive probably seen it 23 times ....boring
2. NOIS - no jams anymore.
3. Gift Shop- time for a beer/piss break

Ever sang courage at a karaoke place? If not, you don't know what you're missing.
