Shut your mouth, Clarence was the only cool rock-and-roll sax player ever.

Meme aside, The only popular song I remember him playing sax on was "We don't need another hero" by Tina Turner and I think that is a textbook example of bad rock saxophone.

Blue October has whole songs AND albums ruined by bullsh*t - Argue With a Tree would be a minor classic live album except for the "confessions"

The Killers have a problem with this also

Henley singing "And she said" in Hotel California... something about the sound level of this lyric does not match the rest of the song like it was dubbed in after the song was finished, mixed.

3:36 mark

Chicago - hard to say i'm sorry

Which part?

Also, the whistling in "Jungle Love" is a bit much.

Whole Lotta Love - Zeppelin
Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
Can You Hear Me Knocking - Stones


Edit to add that last one

---

Those two immediately came to mind.

I'll add:

Big Brother and the Holding Company - Piece of my Heart
Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice

WTF is going on at the end of those two songs?

Alabama - The Closer You Get

Listened to this song so many times and about a year ago I noticed that "phew…phew" sound effect they used in the background. It is constant throughout the whole song. Has ruined it for me since I noticed because now it is all I hear.

---

This is a really good one. Somehow it even sounds dated even considering how old that song is. It's almost like one of the guys in the band or producer or engineer or whoever found a little used button on a synthesizer and just wore the hell out of it on that song. It wouldn't stick out as much if it was just a high hat or something else.

John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over).

Never really heard yoko until someone pointed it out. Ruined.

Never been a fan of songs that end with a transition to a different style. It's difficult to pull off. "Layla" is successful but I think it's because it becomes less aggressive rather than more.

Queen's "It's Late" from "News of the World" is a great example. You have this perfect power pop ballad with an ideal ending, and then they shift into 30 seconds of wild jamming and screaming that doesn't fit.

Lionel Ritchie - Say You, Say Me - the part where it gets fast about 3/4 of the way through the song

It's CAN'T You Hear Me Knocking. And that jam at the end is terrific, in large part due to West Texas boy Bobby Keys on sax.

***Great*** songs here, but I've always found these to be odd:

Asia
Only Time Will Tell
Song fades out at the end in the middle of a verse! Very odd. Let John Wetton finish his thought!

Genesis
ABACAB
I get that they're a progressive rock band, but c'mon, the lyrics end halfway through the song and it's basically just a jazz odyssey for another 3 and a half minutes with a very slow fade-out. Cool song, but damn…

Allman Bothers
Ramblin' Man
Similar to Genesis above, its lyrics conclude and the band basically jams for another two minutes. I would've preferred a third verse instead since verses one and two tell such an interesting story.

Also, Mark Rivera in Foreigner's "Urgent" and now touring with Billy Joel.

And the aforementioned Bobby Keys, but that was before the 80's

Insert song title that has a featured Rapper who breaks into some random lyrical spewing of words that have nothing to do with the original song. Some examples are songs that feature Cardi B or Kendrick Lamar just randomly thrown in there to expose the song to another audience genre.

---

Like Rich Homie Quan's verse in Lil Dicky's "Save Dat Money"

Bobby played beyond the 70's. His stuff with Joe Ely in the 80's was terrific. He kept playing for years

It may not fit, but damn is it awesome. Heavy Queen!

the album version of Semi Charmed Life

I was going to say Water Landing by Third Eye Blind. Incredible song until he decided to rap.

To be fair, that only happened after he bumped...again.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Joe Ely. Thanks for the reminder.

Blondie, Rapture…The rap part.

---

Rapture is an important song because it introduced rap to a lot of people, but yeah that rap is terrible.it would be on my list, but I don't really like any of that song.

The acid rock portion of Motel Cowboy Show by Reckless Kelly.

This might not be a popular opinion.

The Anthem by Good Charlotte specifically has a part where they talk about wacking.

"Mommy, where's Fluffy?"

10CC I'm not in love - the "big boys don't cry" part.

I love post rock, instrumental rock, etc. tons of big long songs that I adore for a good chunk but either have to skip past the end or skip to the good part. Even my favorite Explosions in the Sky song, First Breath After Coma, is a spiritual experience to me almost every time I listen to it… for the first five minutes. Then it just kinda farts around for another four.



Another one is Storm by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It begins and builds and turns into this amazing cacophony that descends into chaos for like 15 or so minutes. Absolutely love it. Then it goes really weird and starts playing these recordings of a gas station PA as a political statement on repeat for a while and then it ends.

Any talking part or "sound bite" type part, like a news reporter or radio talking head type of bit.

What about Pee Wee Reese in Paradise by the Dashboard Lights? His part really adds to the second part of the song.
