Best and worst songs on albums

Why, because Bona Drag isn't an album? :)

It's a request. B A Dragon. Scare the living daylights out of your Prince Charming. Roar.

"How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our help."

Rilke

Ahh that makes sense! I was just wondering because it's one of my theme songs so I was like how can they all dislike it so much, it's such a beautiful song :o
But I definitely get what you guys mean :)
 
another thing i keep thinking about vis a vis this kind of thing is is there a difference between thinking a song is the best and it being your fav. like my fav on QiD is SGABTO but i wouldn't say it's as great a song as IKIO,TQID ,CG or TIALTNGO, certainly not in terms of lyrical content anyway.
 
Just to sum up a little bit

Life is a pigsty is the most common best song and i think Meat is murder the reverse
