Worst TD tracks

Following on from the previous discussions about TD albums we dont care too much for I thought it would be fun to name the TD track we hate the most

For me I hate Funky Atlanta and Rising Haul in Silence equally.

How about the rest of you !

Hard to mention the ones I hate, as I simply don't play them, therefore they don't stay in my memory.

Every last track off of Rockoon, Goblins Club, Tyranny of Beauty, Turn of the Tides, DM1, Tournado, Hollywood years I & II, and Great Wall of China.

I cant narrow it any more than that. Not even to the album.

I wouldnt even like to comment on it anymore because I respect the fact its the artists website, and i dont believe any artist wants to read or see lists of their work that people hate. I dont mind complaining if i think there's something amiss with the business etc but it cant be nice for Edgar to read it, even after 40 years.

Kind of agree JD, although everyone is free to like or dislike whatever they like. There are plently of albums by other EM artists that I don't like, but to say I hate them is going too far, besides they'd have to be half interesting to make me feel that strongly ;)

Yeah, it's the good ones that stay in the memory (and there're TONS of those).

I didn't find myself hating the nineties work as such, I just got uncomfortable with the direction the band was going and "jumped off the bus" for a good few years.

I can't find the energy to keep discussing stuff I don't like, again and again (although other people should discuss whatever the hell they want to). I don't collect music I don't like, if it's that bad I sell it...it's what eBay was invented for.

Sure some of the nineties stuff wasn't very good 100% of the time, but then again so was (IMHO) some of the eighties stuff, or a few albums from the last 7 years. I'd like to see an artist that's survived for 40 years where every single album hit the mark every time.

No I agree completely, people should be able to say whatever they want to whoever they want, I was just expressing my own view :)

I would never use the word hate related to TD,there are periods I am not keen on, very early 70's & first part of the 90's but they still get played.

I agree with what you say all i say is there is some albums i play continually, occassionally & once in a blue moon that's as far as i'll go
