Worst Song on Ramones s/t

MAYBE NEXT WE CAN VOTE ON THE SECOND BEST AND SECOND WORST SONGS ON EVERYTHING

i don't wanna vote in this poll

i don't wanna vote in this poll .

i don't wanna vote in this poll . .

so why you wanna make me vote in this poll

I can't remember Listen to My Heart, but I doubt it's bad.

Our Alice took this to her leaving Nursery party...

My kid loves this record too. There's a car in the pixar movie Cars named Ramone and I think he thinks he's in the band.

Listen to My Heart is great!

i guess i'd say "loudmouth," just cuz it's sort of a lesser version of things done better elsewhere on the album. but it's not like i dislike it.

lol Loudmouth is one of my favourite songs!

I think I'll vote for Havana Affair. Or Listen To My Heart. Everything before and after those songs rules.

Sorry, Colonel, "Loudmouth" is the only one I don't know by heart. I can barely remember it.

Never loved "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend," but I'm uncomfortable saying it's the "worst" anything.

The worst song on this is better than the best song on whatever you think is the best album ever.

NICE!

And shits a splattery load on it from a great height.

Picked the one they didn't write.

53rd or lets dance

No worst songs on this album

I don't remember what Chainsaw sounds like, and I remember EXACTLY what all the others sound like (including Loudmouth), so it's probably that one.

It goes:

"texas chainsaw massacree
took my baby away from me"

I voted Listen To My Heart, but Tom D may be right.

Looks that way.

In "Listen to My Heart" - the "That girl could still be mine" bit is awesome.

I'm not voting cuz this album is perfect

Listen to My Heart is great

also I feel bad that this "worst song" poll meme has taken hold, cuz it makes us look like a bunch of music-hating killjoys (even tho my OG Beach Boys worst of series was borne of complete and total adoration for their work)

tru, but the Beatles' polls serve a purpose, i think (i.e., those records are so uniformly excellent that the very notion of attempting to single out the worst tracks can stimulate thought and discussion). still, not a good sign overall, imo.

Calling this type of poll the worst kind of poll makes you look like poll-hating killjoys :-(

I think the ridiculousness of it is kind of the point though - picking the worst song on a perfect album. It's just for laughs. At least that was the intention. Maybe there should've been a "none of the above" option, but that lets you off the hook. Anyway, I don't think there's much music-hating killjoyishness going on here.

And I love Listen To My Heart. It's Sophie's Choice shit throwing that one under the bus.

yeah, that was my choice too. *sobs*

the Beatles' polls serve a purpose, i think (i.e., those records are so uniformly excellent that the very notion of attempting to single out the worst tracks can stimulate thought and discussion)

I actually have no problem finding dud tracks on those Beatles albums - but this Ramones album is tough.

"Let's Dance", cause I loved the roller-rink organ that was at the heart of the original, and it's mostly absent here. Really, the covers are pretty much my least favourite tracks on the first three Ramones albums.

^ agree muchly

I've said on multiple threads that this is pretty much the only perfect album ever made

There's literally no worst song

I think Listen to my Heart is the BEST song on this album. I might have to say Blitzkreig Bop only in that it's been overplayed to such an extent that I typically skip it when I put the album on.

Every song on here is kind of essential. You can't remove one song from this album without taking away a little piece of its heart.

How about which song off this album would bum you out the least if you heard it turning up on a Tony Hawk Videogame soundtrack (and possibly covered by Alien Ant Farm or Rancid)?

Chainsaw or I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement.

why cant he say basement properly?

Because he don't wanna go!

Voted "Listen To my Heart" on the "only one I can't remember" principle, but just listened to it and that song kicks ass. Oh well.

let's dance.

I think I'm going to vote for "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" - though it's not a bad song by any means.

Maybe we should ask the modz to change the title to "the least good" instead of the worst?

in this album's case I vote that be changed to the "least face-meltingly awesome song on this flawless album"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Much easier to decide which songs aren't the worst, than which one is the worst.

^^^

I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement.

why cant he say basement properly?

WTF? is that a pisstake? It's one of the reasons why the song is so great

Anyhow- it's a struggle, but I'll go with Let's Dance

I can't vote "Let's Dance", it's the live b-side to "Swallow my pride" and right after "Pinhead" !

I'm actually really curious about the results of this, as meaningless and by-default the answer is gonna be. Kinda looks like it might be "Let's Dance" or "Listen To My Heart" judging from the comments.

suggest banning everyone who voted in this poll

reading this thread is kinda like reading Art Brut lyrics

LOVE Let's Dance, easily one of my favorite songs on the album. It's Alive version slays though. 1st six and last three are impeccable, it's only that middle stretch that sags a little (a TINY little) bit: I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement through 53rd & 3rd. Went with Basement.

this poll better get zero votes

dude, with all due respect enough already. I'll never do a worst song poll again, you own that shit and only the beach boys are an appropriate subject for such a poll, all other worst song polls are heresy. ok?

sounds good to me

Cool. It was just meant as an answer to all the Beatles ones, not as any attack on all that is holy and sacred. As somebody pointed out above, it's a lot harder to pick a worst song on this than on the early Beatles records - which I think is kind of interesting. Still not clear on why it makes you guys mad, but whatever.

Reason it's hard to pick out a worst song here is that there's only one song on the record. One song with 14 different titles. Upside is that it's a moderately good song.

What? you crazy, there are at least 4 distinct Ramones songs! Will concede "7-11" and "don't go" are interchangeable but they aren't on here.

O come on, there's nothing disrespectful about this poll! Everybody knows that "worst" is relative, and a lot easier to type than "least awesome" or whatever. Anyone who votes has presumably played the album often enough (out of enjoyment) to know whereof they speak.

holy shit is listen to my heart really going to take this?

I can't remember Listen to My Heart, but I doubt it's bad.

everyone who voted for it had better be using this idiot lazy logic or they are not cool in my book.

If people really really hate the "worst song" thing, another way to look at it is what song could've been eliminated to make room for one of the unreleased songs from around the same time ("I Can't Be", "I Don't Wanna Be Tamed" and "Babysitter" - all of which I like more than "Loudmouth", "Havana Affair" and "Listen To My Heart"). If that's still drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa to you, more power to ya!

And disagreements over the poll aside, the Ramones love on display here definitely makes me smile. Cheers.

OK, WTF * 12?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

hey!

I just xposted the "Results are now in" message!

I guess my vote for Basement didn't register. ???

Sort of offended, cuz 3 of the top 4 "worst" songs on this album are among my lifelong favorites.

shit, i shouldn't have looked at the result. now i'm mad.

But I'm tired of the hurt
Tired of tryin'
I'm tired of the pain
Tired of tryin'
I'm tired of cryin'

That surely is one of the catchiest parts of the album! Well at least no one voted for Judy.

^ OTM

next time, i'll listen to my hea-a-art
