Holy crap! I thought I was the only person on the face of the earth that doesn't like peanut butter (and who also isn't allgergic to it). Leave it up to BN to find a place where there are more crazies like me.

But I don't think my aversion to certain foods would inform my choices when it comes to songs. I'm not a huge tomato fan at all but I love, love, love Guy Clark's "Homegrown Tomatoes".

I prefer to focus on what I *do* like about JB's music, rather than what I don't like, but even the ones I don't like all that much (Math Suks, for instance) can be fun sometimes. I don't think there's a single JB song that grates on me enough that I just couldn't listen to it all the way through.

I can name two covers that do..

Hint...

Uncle Johns Band and........... it's by the Dead too.

You're half right.... Scarlet Begonias isn't my favorite, but I'll listen to it.

However, I *love* Uncle John's Band!

How can anyone not like Creola??? I am deeply offended!

I obviously love that one, but the ones I dislike would be:

1. Elvis Imitators
2. Domino College
3. WDWGDAS
4.I Used to Have Money One Time
5. Bob Roberts
6. Math Sux

Those are what immediately come to mind...

But Tree Top Flyer? Another goodie and Migration too!

Again, matter of taste.

Livin It Up, followed closely by Homemade Music.

There are only two that I skip over whenever they come up:

1. USS Zydecoldsmobile
2. Math suks

I really like 'Livin' It Up', 'Altered Boy' and 'Creola'. I do wish that the backing vocals in 'Croela' were turned WAY DOWN in volume though.

absolutely...DITTO!!!!!

WOW, what a difference of opinions. Creola is one of my top 5 favs.
As far as the "Top 5 worst songs", I don't think a lot of these are BAD songs as much as they are over played and we are just a little tired of hearing some of them. CIP, for instance, has just been run in the ground but you have to admit, still a pretty fun song.

I think the opening is a bit off...but I like the song....it's one of my daughter's favorites.

This is easy...

1. The song with the chorus, "mmm ba ba mmm ba ba mmm ba ba hey hey" - The Natives Are Restless
2. Elvis Imitators
3. Math Suks
4. The Natives Are Restless
5. I Wish Lunch Would Last Forever

I agree, except I could see where some just don't like "Cheeseburger" despite being played to death live.

In no particular order:

1. License To Chill-Just Awful. Agree with Jahfin about Kenny Chesney

2. He's Got You. Horrible remake of a Patsy Cline classic. You should not be allowed to destroy a classic like that.

3. The Tiki Bar is Open- John Hiatts version is amazing! Jimmy turned this rocker into a big band dance number. I wonder if he has all "yes men" around him? I still don't get this one?

4. Hey Good Lookin'- It's a shame this was the hit single. There is much better on that release.

5.Honkey Conckin'- I would expect better from Jimmy and Clint Black

If this posts twice I am sorry.....technical difficulties.....

Anyway...to prove that I could give procrastination lessons....and the fact that I really don't want to do what I have to today....I went through and very unscientifically and probably prone to error....compiled all the votes for the least favorite JB songs.....

And the Winner is:
Elvis Imitators: 11 votes

Altered Boy: 10 votes
Math Sucks: 9 votes
WDWGDAS: 7

WOW...thanks Soraya for that snapshot!

That list of personal choices with 1 vote each would actually make a fantastic set list. I wouldn't mind seeing that show at all.

I know it's silly to argue about personal preferences, but I cannot believe anyone would put Migration on that list. If there is a single song that defines what it means to be a Parrothead better than that, I am not sure what it is.

Boy Nobody Knew: You're right. The long list of one-vote hated songs would actually make a fantastic setlist!

I agree with smacky.
