Terrible/Inappopriate songs ...


on an otherwise wonderful release. Know of any? These bug the crap out of me as they are: dumb songs, inappropriate selections as per the rest of the release, and sung very poorly. What is (was) up with them?

1. Miles Davis, "Nothing Like You", on Sorcerer (1962).
2. Tony Williams, "This Night This Song", and, "Once I Loved", a two-fer on Turn It Over (1970).

I very much like both of these releases, but they are spoiled by these insipid songs (IMO) unless I skip them. Know of others such as these clinkers? Must be ones which stick out like sore thumbs on an otherwise good/great release. Cuts which make you exclaim, WTF?

So easy being critical.
The handful of songs that you may consider duds from an otherwise accomplished artist/bands catalog only serve to make the majority of the catalog that much more enjoyable.
No one has managed to fill a catalog with only polished gems. That includes the Dead, which I'll add had a few other odd creations in addition to Blues for Allah.

Albums are not always cohesive stories or epic narratives.
