yeah i'm one of the very rare ones who doesn't like it. i just don't get it how can people like it so much! it has no melody. i like my music melodic. and for me music comes first, not lyrics.

Sara is just talking forever and ever and ever with some background music. i tried, since i know how immensely popular it used to be, and when i meet 10-20 yo Sara, i kinda wonder these days whether the name came from that enormous popularity. but i just can't get through the song. it bores me and depresses me.

on the other hand, SOTM seems to be the song about which fans split in the middle - they either love it or don't get why people like it that much. i think SOTM is one of SN's best FM songs and just love it and was surprised to see it on some people's lists in this thread.

i also think that other than Sara. Stevie's Tusk songs are her best grouping of FM songs.

I guess I'm dumb for liking it. I really don't care though.

why would you be dumb for liking it? plus, your opinion fits with majority opinion. and majority doesn't necessarily always have to be dumb or wrong - not everything that's popular is sh*t!

imo the most important thing is that song makes you happy, or makes you feel something, or whatever value it has for you is what matters!

dumb? that means I'm dumb, too... I love the piano and guitar work. Elle wasn't saying that we are dumb, just that she doesn't get it.

These 3 are the only songs on Tusk I dislike; I love pretty much every other one. Oddly enough, "SMAP" and "WATL" are amongst my all time favorite LB tracks, and many seem to dislike them.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner!

Made me feel dumb.

I love the piano and the backing vocals.

it's funny, there are usually 2 camps - WATL camp vs SMAP camp. i used to love love love WATL and just couldn't stand SMAP. and i knew several people who were exact opposite.

after hearing enough live and alternate versions of SMAP, i now started to actually like it. somebody in this thread mentioned how they disliked the original but love the alternate Tusk SMAP.

i think my love for WATL really comes from the alternative version that was on Tusk CD re-issue (from 2002 i think). if i just heard orginal slowed down WATL, maybe i wouldn't love it nearly as much.

as for your 3 dislike choices, i'm completely with you on That's Enough For Me which most like and respct and it just really annoys me.

but i adore the Ledge and love NTF.

lol backing vocals is another thing that i can't stand about the song!

re "dumb" sorry if what i said made you feel that way! it wasn't meant to (see also my post above), you expressed surprise about my choice so i felt i owe you some explanation on why i dislike the song.

I didn't take offence to it. Made me feel dumb in a funny kind of way. By the way, a FM song that I can't stand is Sugar Daddy.

Sorry, jbrownsjr. I just can't take it. I always skip it when I play that album.

You'll never make me cry is absolutely gorgeous. How can you be a fan and not love this song? Her voice is amazing and it's just a beautiful melody. I knew the songs people liked least would be the ones i love most.

Honey Hi
That's all for everyone
You'll never make me cry
Not That funny
Walk a thin line

All great songs.

Stevie's songs are flawless. Everything she did with the Mac is, IMO, flawless from 75 - 82. It only starts to go downhill with Tango.

I'm not keen on "Honey Hi". It's not a bad song, it just doesn't go anywhere. But in the depths of a dark record, it's quite a welcome burst of jolliness in the second half of the record, so I wouldn't ditch it and don't skip it, but it's not particularly memorable on it's own.

I don't like "That's All For Everyone" at all and the album version of "Not That Funny" kinda sucks, but I agree with other folks - it's awesome live.
