an interesting song is a version of run like hell by the hardcore female band Kitty. If you're into that loud grungy kind of thing, I spoze it's interesting to listen to. I personally can't stand it but I know a few people who do like that kind of thing and they think it's pretty cool.

'Take up thy Stethoscope and Walk' off PATGOD is Rogers worst song ever IMHO..
Still he was young and inexperienced so I'll forgive him :wink:

Awful song!! Although you're all about to tell me you like it now O--O

How could you hate that song with lyrics like this:

Music seems to help the pain
Seems to cultivate the brain.

:D Id have to go with Several Small... but it grows on you after awhile.

Some of the music off of APATGOD sounds like it could go into a Quentin Terantino film. :)

I don't know why so many people hate TUTSAW, especially since it's a great jam. Granted, it's definitely not Roger's best, and not at all representative of what he was capable of lyrically, but just musically it's quite good and fun. And since so many people find lyrics irrelevant anyway (I don't, but many seem to), why hate this one?

Now as far as least favorite songs, off PATGOD or otherwise, I'd have to go with The Gnome. Don't get me wrong, I love Syd's work, but this one is just TOO whimsical or childlike. I'm surprised more people don't dislike this one.

Hands down worst song ever is Grand Vizer's Garden Party (though arguable that it is techinally a solo piece). And I'm very suprised not to see Up The Khyber mentioned yet. Again, no Rog no Dave input on that one so....

As for a legit PF song, mine worst would have to be: New Machine 1&2
