There are certain Hip and Downie songs I just can't 'hear,' such as this one, or 'Moon Over Glenora,' 'Wild Mountain Honey,' etc..

Finally something we agree on! :thumb: I strongly dislike both of those songs as well. Although I have to say, Johnny is a beast on Wild Mountain Honey. Very John Bonham-esque performance from him on that tune, and I love that he's cranked way up in the mix. But the song itself is definitely one of the weaker moments in their catalogue. I wouldn't call it pretentious. It's just a very below-average song by Hip standards.

As for Great Soul, I don't get the Alice in Chains comparison at all.
