Default LEAST favourite Lindsey solo songs

So, as we all had great difficulty in listing our Top 10 Lindsey solo songs as we love so many equally, let's have a go at our LEAST favourites.

I could only come up with 7, which are:-

Shadow Of The West
All My Sorrows
Under The Skin
To Try For The Sun
Shut Us Down
Time Precious Time
She Smiled Sweetly


Just to be clear, I am not saying that I dislike these songs but I could live without listening to them.

Every other LB song I can't live without!

Be interesting to see everyone else's choices!

This is painful. *pokes you with a stick for listening to her* Erm....
  • Time Bomb Town
  • I Am Waiting
  • This Is The Time

I got three...I tried to add more, but then I listened to them on my iPod and couldn't add them to the list. Gosh darn it. I fail at list making.

don't know whether i can come up with a list like that but might give it a try. meanwhile, i will critique your list:

have to say - wow, some surprising choices! and he's doing 2 from your list on this tour... although those would be the two i'd replace in his almost perfect current setlist.

try for the sun is on my list of 10 favorite solo songs, plus shut us down (live) and she smiled sweetly (especially GOS version) would definitely be on my list of his solo songs that i love! and i love instrumental parts of TPT although i severely dislike grating wailing in the chorus, so it wouldn't go on my list of the least favorites either.

love this is the time!

usually skip time bomb town, but i don't hate it. usually skip I am waiting and actually don't like it at all - that one i a legitimate candidate for my least favorite list if i do end up making one.

I feel that I have to say again, though, I don't in any way dislike these songs (I don't dislike any LB song if truth be told), it's just that they would be at the bottom of the pile!

That quickly became one of my faves when I first listened to SWS, and just reinforced it when he played it inches away from me last week! I just thought it was stupendous live!

wow, how interesting - no wonder you don't like SWS! Other than stars are crazy (plus not being that keen on it was you), most of these are very high on my list of favorite LB solo songs! we must have diametrically opposite taste in music... (as you probably know, i'm one of the people who thinks IOOT is brilliant). but Murrow? One Take? BTLH? wow!

This is a much harder list!

Flying Down Juniper
Time Precious Time
Surrender The Rain ()
Stars Are Crazy (though live it's somewhat better)
When She Comes Down (don't hate it, just definitely a least favorite)

Er, that's it.

And I'm a senior ledgie now!

I Am Waiting - this could be up there because I find it one of the least compelling from UTS but I never skip it.

When She Comes Down - it's a fairly good song and that stop just before the last chorus is great but I can't really get past the distortion over the choruses. If I could hear a live version I might change my opinion since it wouldn't have the distortion. (again, I never skip it).

Erm.... that's it for now. Maybe more will occur to me tomorrow.

Bel Air Rain
Mary Lee Jones
Love from here, Love from there
It Was I
Wrong
Down on Rodeo

I think those are the only ones I really, truly can't stand. Although most of the stuff on Go Insane and Law and Order are just not my cup of tea.
(and I'm only including those I think he wrote solo. I can't stand September Song and the Rolling Stone covers).
