Song number 8...

Song number 8 on any given album is the diamond of that album. Its science.
What album are you listening to? I bet track 8 is a peach...

I'm listening to the Platoon soundtrack and song 8 is Sittin on the dock of the bay...sweet tune.

Jedward...lipstick...hey you're right OP...

AnonoBoy · 22-10-2011 10:47pm

Husker Du - Beaster.

........... this don't work for me.

kfallon · 22-10-2011 10:50pm

Made of Stone - The Stone Roses

Good song alright but at least 4 better songs than that on the album imo

Saila · 22-10-2011 10:53pm

the ones I checked there were actually the worst songs of the album

BUSTED!

charlemont · 22-10-2011 10:54pm

Gravediggaz 1800 suicide

DJ Pooh Bad newz travels fast

OFTB Who got the hits

MC Ren Mind blown

Dotrel · 22-10-2011 10:56pm

I'm listening to Meddle by Pink Floyd. You're right. Track 8 is amazing.

I've honestly thought the same thing for years but just thought I was crazy!
9 times out of 10, song number 8 is a cracker!

Bodhidharma · 22-10-2011 11:04pm

Wrong, wrong, wrong. It's always track 7, noticed it years ago and has popped up inmumerable times since.

Fools Gold wasn't on that album!

And 'Dont Stop' is Waterfall in reverse! Full Fathom Five is Elephant Stone in reverse. Neither Full Fathom Five nor Elephant Stone were on 'The Stone Roses'

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Track 8 Oh Comely absolutely amazing

Perfectly true with Van Morrison's album "Days Like This" released in 1995

=>song #8 'Days Like This' is actually one of favourites by Van

Tigger · 22-10-2011 11:10pm

made me wonder

and yes lol my wedding song i agree with th op

Good Song?!...its arguably the best song on the album....

We could probably do with a few examples..

Full metal jacket soundtrack - The Marines' Hymn...Should be everyones alarmclock.
Metallica - Black Album - Nothing else matters
Kings of leon - youth and young manhood - Mollys chambers
Fleet Foxes - Your protector

ok I got the US Re-release version that year which makes all your above points invalid

Oranage2 · 22-10-2011 11:24pm

Track 2 is always the best. Always

MistyCheese · 22-10-2011 11:24pm

Pfft. Song 8 on Jedward's new album is "Saturday Night" not "Lipstick"

Em, i mean,

:o:o

JerryHandbag · 22-10-2011 11:30pm

Track 8 on The Killers Day & Age, Neon Tiger is alright, I suppose. But far from the best

You'd be pushed to find anything decent on a Killers album though.

WinstonOno · 22-10-2011 11:37pm

nirvana - nevermind - drain you
ryan adams - gold - nobody girl
the freewheelin bob dylan - dont think twice babe its alright
beatles - white album - while my guitar gently weeps

not convinced

KnifeWRENCH · 22-10-2011 11:44pm

Looked through a few albums to find one where #8 was the best. Eventually found Rain Dogs

^ One of my all time favourite Waits songs.

I am The Resurrection

Waterfall

I Wanna Be Adored is prob better than it too tbh

Tigger · 22-10-2011 11:56pm

i'm sure they're all great and it'll be a great renunion

Another awesome track 8...

Shattered Dreamer · 23-10-2011 12:21am

Of all the albums I've been listening to recently only Slash's solo record has track 8 as the best song on the album.

There isn't a lot between most of the songs on the album in fairness.

Washington Irving · 23-10-2011 12:37am

Probably the least good song on the album

Actually, it doesn't even come near to anything else on the album

ColeTrain · 23-10-2011 12:40am

When I turned on the laptop tonight the first song I put on was this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFqvcVgpylI

#8 on the album :eek:

This is one of the few soundtracks I listen to regularly. Hard to beat 'Groovin' and 'Tracks of my tears'.

GLaDOS · 23-10-2011 5:08pm

I'm listening to "In the Court of the Crimson King", by King Crimson. It only has 5 tracks

The Jammy dodger · 23-10-2011 5:14pm

I am listening to PUGWASH new album ''The Olympus Sound'' and track 8 off that album happens to be my favourite track yeah

it's called ''I dont like it but I gotta do it'' See below. Every song off the album though is my fav and definitely my fav irish band ever.

KISS, Destroyer, Beth.

It was the fourth single, and KISS' first top ten hit.

Yes i also subscribe to this...with song 7 being the second best. I always thought this was because the 7th(or 8th even) song was usually the first song on the second side of a cassette tape (yes im very old)

nitromaster · 23-10-2011 6:22pm

Album: The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
Track 8: Cancer

Not my personal favorite....but it is quite a strong track....

Song number 8...
