Your favourite obvious filler songs?

well, I was hoping you'd say something like that

 

Well then what about this one?


Or this one?
Jackson Browne - Doctor My Eyes

 

The first one wasn't available and the second one I didn't like.

 

Fair enough.

 

How is Jail Guitar Doors filler?

 

Beatles....mean Mr mustard and polythene pam

Nirvana...lounge act

Metallica....through the never

 

The title track off Black Sabbaths ”Paranoid”. I love the song but it is way out of context, the album as a whole gets more messy with that on it.

Even the members themselves admitted that they needed another three minutes to fill out.

 

I think of filler as being 1. covers, 2. covers, 3. especially covers of 'standards', 4. covers. I guess a super bad original glued together and stuck on for publishing, or perhaps to fill out a side would qualify, but it's subjective unless you actually do know some back story. Any kind of original I give the benefit of the doubt otherwise.

In the '60s, 'standards' might include stuff like You Baby, Yesterday, or It Ain't Me Babe as well as Louie Louie, especially if nothing unique is added (Smokey Robinson doing Yesterday is just going to be unique, or Ike & Tina's Proud Mary).

Paranoid, by Black Sabbath, a title track, as filler? Sorry, does not compute...

 

Digsy’s Diner

 

Several people told me Marvin Gaye’s 1982 Midnight Love was an obvious hit(s)-and-filler job, with “Sexual Healing” the hit and pretty much everything else the filler. I found it a solid effort start to end...

 

mountain jam

to this day i cannot believe that 'eat a peach' hasn't been released as a single album without it. $$$$$$

 

Beatles- Her majesty

 

From A Buick 6 is easily the least interesting, least innovative song on Highway 61 Revisited, but I love it more than almost every other song on the album.
