Least favourite Mountain Goats song/s?

So hey, most of us go nuts for The Mountain Goats, but which songs don't you really care for? Or like the least? Or even, dare I say it, hate?

The first that comes to mind for me is Dinu Lapatti's Bones. I don't hate it, but even though it was the first song I ever witnessed live, I can never really get into it.

This is the easiest questions to answer.

1) White Box (one word, Jandek)
2) Lonesome Surprise (good song, Allen Callaci ruins it)

Yes I know they're both covers but everytime this question comes up these 2 songs rise to the top of my list.

Lonesome Surprise is pretty hard to listen to...

There's something nice about it though...you just can't listen to it with anybody else around or they'll just end up looking at you funny

Well, yeah.

But I'll say Lion's Teeth. I don't know why, but I just really don't like this song. I skip by it every time it comes on. And while I don't share your sentiments about Dinu Lipatti's Bones, I can see where you're coming from. For being the album that got me into TMG, Sunset Tree probably has the most songs that I don't like to listen to. I always get bored of Pale Green Things, too.

Sorry Corbin, I mean the song. Is this the end of our friendship?

Not least favourite necessarily, but I'm kind of saddened at how "Get Lonely" hasn't hooked me yet...I want it too, but it's not. I got Ghana the other week and I can't get it out of the CD player. What does this mean?

We've discussed this before...Get Lonely will take a little bit, but it will sink in HARD after a while...It's the definition of "grower"

I'll throw some love the way of get lonely, I think it's pretty underrated as far as tmg albums go. It ended up becoming the soundtrack to my winter.

I mean that physically and metaphorically.

This Year (ick, the worst chorus ever)
Get Lonely (the title track...and alot of the album for its unihibited overuse of similie.)

I really really really love Crows, but John's vocals on that aren't that good.


and whaaaat's so bad about Jandek, Cali. >: )

I find this is the case with about 75% of indie rock.

2 headed boy, but <i can't get into neutral milk hotel at all, so that may be the reason

get lonely isn't my favourite album, but has some beautiful songs on it

i just stay here and drink (I only know some live version and that one is just way too far)

I love all those covers, but I don't really like Seeing Daylight. Oh, why can't even just one person be perfect?

Wild Palm City (or: Within You, Without You) is by far my least favorite song.

As for Get Lonely, I like the album a lot, but I need to be in the right mood to listen to it. It's not like other tMG albums that I can (and do) just put on whenever and enjoy.

I saw the two latest albums refrigerator made in a record store a couple weeks back and I absolutely had to buy them.

I know there's at least a handful of refrigerator lovers on this forum.

I happen to really like that cover as well, there's so much energy in it.

Mole. I dread this song... I mean, I love the lyrics, they're bloody brilliant... but I dislike the melody and the music.
