Your favourite obvious filler songs?

I love "Coming Down Again", not a filler IMO

 

Absolutely, me too but some don't rate it you see.

 

“Borrowing Time” and “Things Will Be Better” by The Byrds. Both are short, somewhat underdeveloped Chris Hillman songs from their often-maligned self-titled 1973 album, but they are still very catchy and I really like them.

 

SRV - Scratch and Sniff - In Step

ZZ Top - Ten foot pole - El Loco

Cheap Trick - I want be man - One on One

VH- Sucker in a 3 piece - OU812

Motley Crue - Dancing on Glass - Girls, Girls, Girls

Sting - Forget about the future - Sacred Love

Rolling Stones - Hearts for Sale - Steel Wheels

Robert Cray - I`m just lucky that way - Shame + Sin

Scorpions - I`m leaving you - Love at first sting

Ozzy - Now you see it ( now you don`t) - Bark at the moon

LZ - South Bound Saurez - In Through the Out Door

AC DC - Ruff Stuff - Blow up your Video

Deep Purple - Fortuneteller - Slaves and Masters

Great White - South Bay Cities - Hooked

.....Just to name a few

 

I wouldn’t consider “Hey Bulldog” a filler track, in spite of it being relegated to an afterthought soundtrack album. There’s a video for it on TheBeatlesVEVO, it’s one of the most acclaimed Beatles songs (at least from musicians). And I have a good feeling that it’s responsible for a big chunk of Yellow Submarine sales.

And yes, Beatles filler is still better than a lot of other artists’ finest. IMO, of course.

 

Hey Bulldog is the only reason to buy the Yellow Submarine album.

 

Peg O' My Heart and Jezebel on the first Gene Vincent & The Bluecaps album 'Bluejean Bop'.

 

Every song with the word "doctor" in it is bad.

 

I suppose I can take some consolation from the fact that it's not the "Robert" that is problematic.

 

wrong

 

"I'll Remember" by The Kinks is filler, IIRC it was left over from their last album recording sessions. But damn if I don't absolutely love that song!

 

That song only confirmed my statement.

 

Name some songs you think are good

 

No, it shared that credit with the amazing mind-bending strains of It's All Too Much...

"One, two, three, four... can I have a little more?"

 

All the filler on The Replacments LPs Let It Be, Tim, and Pleased to Meet Me:

Tommy gets his tonsils out
Androgynous
Dose of Thunder
Shootin Dirty Pool

 

Gene and the Caps had a way with standards. "Jezebel" is their best, I think. "Up a Lazy River" is pretty cool, as well.

 

I never thought of "Androgynous" as filler. To me, it's the other BIG track after "I Will Dare".

 

Title of the post: Your favorite obvious filler songs?

Please explain witch is your favorite filler? you haven't stated witch song that you liked. Mr.Christgau’s review of Thriller didn't stated witch song you liked.

 

I'm with you. But reading these threads I get numb to whats filler and what's not. The things I see...

 

"King Solomon's Mines" from the second Three Dog Night album.

 

The man himself called it "filler" and dedicated it to "All you filler freaks".

 

This is Pauls least favorite song on S/T. But one of my favorites.

 

I love that song, too.

Back to filler, I nominate R.E.M.'s Underbeath the Bunker from Life's Rich Pageant.
