Title: worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: dont_damn_me on June 16, 2004, 11:40:56 AM lets see how varied people's tastes are. Seems to be a bit of disagreement amoung the shittier/better songs off CB. Heres my opinion.
Top 3 - Do it for Kids, Spectacle,Superhuman worst 3 - Fall to Pieces and Loving the Alien, no 3rd...rest of album kicks alot of ass. :smoking: Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: Timothy on June 16, 2004, 11:45:28 AM Top 3 Spectacle, Dirty Little Thing, and Loving the Alien, at the moment.
worst 3 can't say love the whole album : ok: Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: TyRod Tulip on June 16, 2004, 11:58:28 AM Top 3: Sucker Train Blues, Loving the Aliens, Dirty Little Thing
Worst 3: Do It For The Kids, Illegal I, Slither My opinions on these songs seems to change daily. But for today, this is how I'd rate them. I will say that the only song I skip over on occasion is Do It For the Kids. -TyRod- Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: Booker Floyd on June 16, 2004, 12:00:00 PM Theres not one song I dislike...But if I had to pick a least favorite, itd be "Superhuman," followed by "Headspace" and "Illegal i Song". Theyre all good songs, but theres gotta be a least favorite...
Its extremely hard to pick a favorite, or even three favorites, but I guess itd something like: "Loving The Alien" "You Got No Right" "Sucker Train Blues" But then "Slither," "Set Me Free," "Dirty Little Thing," "Do It For The Kids," "Fall To Pieces" and "Spectacle" are about as good, and the choices will probably change... Damn this is a good record. ;D Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: Falcon on June 16, 2004, 12:09:37 PM Top 3 (for now, changes daily)
Superhuman STB Big Machine Bottom FTP (it's the only song on the record I skip) Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: Captain P?l on June 16, 2004, 12:18:18 PM top songs: Dirty Little Thing, Sucker Train Blues & spectacle & Set Me Free
sucky songs: Loving The Alien (hate the lyrics!!!! they dont make no sence!) Head Space (even more crappy lyrics then LTA) Big Machine (i hate the structure of that song) do it for the kids (can weiland write lines with more than 3 words in them?) the rest is OK.... i hate, HATE!, abselutely hate weiland..... but i like the music though... : ok: Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: badgirl on June 16, 2004, 12:20:02 PM good topic.
top 3 for me this is tricky because i am a sucker for ballady type songs so Loving The Alien and You Got No Right will automatically be on there. So besides those two songs, Spectacle Do It For The Kids worst 3 illegal i (i seem to always skip this song) fall to pieces superhuman (not really feeling this) but the worst 3, for me, are still better than almost everything new on the radio today. : ok: Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: loretian on June 16, 2004, 12:29:53 PM It's hard to say the top 3, because i've got like a top 5 list, but maybe:
Fall to Pieces You Got No Right Headspace I'd also include Loving the Alien and Illegal i Song if it was the top 5. Worst 3: Set Me Free Spectacle Dirty Little Thing I think I'm in the minority for my least favorites, but I just find those songs boring as hell. Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: Thorned Rose on June 16, 2004, 12:37:27 PM Hey guys, Contraband rules!

I love the whole album although I'm not to keen on did it for the kids Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: Ignatius on June 16, 2004, 08:39:55 PM Worst 3 Big Machine is just awful. Decent drums and bass at the beginning but boy Scotts vocals and lyrics are bad. Chorus sounds like anything from Snakepit. Spectacle is just as bad. I hate the the megaphone thing (the Motherfucker yeah...) Nothing to like about this song. It doesn't take you anywhere. Not Even Slash's solo saves this ( well, it is a good solo indeed) Superhuman. The first riff is quite good actully, but then again comes Scott sounding like a nice Fred Durst-Marylin Manson hybrid. Then the lyrics " cocaine, alcohol, lady lay..." very obvious. Top 3 Slither: great song. It gets better with every listen. I just notice something, the very fist 5 seconds of the song sounds like Oh My God. Loving the Alien: Great finishing track. This is the VR " Atlanta" track. Great tune, but not as memoralbe Duff believes it will once be. you Got not Right. Best song by far. The lyrics are beautiful, the melodiy is just brlliant and the solo is the best one of the album. Touching song. Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: D on June 17, 2004, 12:19:50 AM its weird how people have such different opinions isnt it?
top 3 loving the alien big machine slither ygnr tie least fav 3 spectacle still aint feelin it superhuman headspace Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: Stupid Head on June 17, 2004, 01:17:40 AM Top 3/4 songs:
You Got No Right Do It For The Kids Dirty Little Thing/Sucker Train Blues Bottom 3 songs: Big Machine - horrible song! Lyrics too repetitive. Illegal i Song - Scotts worst vocals. Superhuman - I still like this song. Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: matt88 on June 17, 2004, 02:10:16 AM You Got No Right
Loving The Alien and Big Machine are my top 3 Bottom 3 Illegal i song Spectacle Headspace Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: John Daniels on June 17, 2004, 03:07:08 AM now my top 3 are
illegal i song do it for kids Lovin' the alien now my 3 least fav are big machine superhuman set me free it's so hard to choose which ones are least fav ones..but damn this is a good album. It's funny when I heard the cd first time I considered the songs that I didn't like as a fillers (like: DIFTK, Headspace, DLT, Illegal i song etc..etc..) and now the "fillers" have turnep up to be the best ones IMO. lol. Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: SunKing278 on June 17, 2004, 03:39:15 AM Man, it's really hard to pick three favorites. I truly am falling in love with every song here. Seriously, this is the sort of rock n' roll record I've been waiting over a decade to hear, and I pity those on this board who are not blown away by Contraband. I'm also baffled as to how ANYONE who is a GNR fan cannot help but love this record. This isn't Snakepit, folks - not that I disliked Snakepit, but Slash was capable of so much more, and we have proof of that now - and you're not going to hear any "techno" stuff here either. Anyway, I'd select "Spectacle," "Dirty Little Thing," and "Slither" if I have to choose. The only song that didn't grab me right away is "Loving the Alien," but now it has grown on me. What a beautiful little song. I was only a casual listener of STP through the years, so I never gained an appreciation of Weiland's talents ... until now. He truly is the perfect singer for this band. To think that even just a couple of months ago I was arguing that VR could have found someone better; now I am a believer. I missed their show at Avalon on May 29 - afterall, the show sold out in 10 minutes - but I'm not missing them again when they come back to Boston. Fuck no, I MUST see this band live. Velvet Revolver is a Godsend.

He truly is the perfect singer for this band. Have you heard/bought any STP albums? Title: Re:worst / TOP 3 Songs of CB Post by: SunKing278 on June 17, 2004, 05:17:58 AM Have you heard/bought any STP albums? Yeah, I had their first three records way back in the day. Not sure whatever happened to them. I've lost more CD's over the years than I can count. I kind of lost interest in them in the late '90s, and I'm sorry that I ever did. I'm planning on picking up "Core" again, that was always my favorite STP record. "Dead and Bloated," "Sex Type Thing," "Where the River Flows," just so many good songs on there. I remember way back in '92 or '93 seeing the "Sex Type Thing" video for the first time and thinking that this must be the coolest rock band on the planet. Not everything they did blew me away after that, which is probably why I lost interest in them. I really wasn't interested in hearing "Number 4" at the time of its release, but I might check that out since a lot of STP fans say that it's their best record. I've gained a whole new appreciation for that group after hearing Velvet Revolver, although I do believe VR are a far superior band. |
