Least favorite Ben song

Give Judy My Notice from Songs for Silverman. It drives me nuts... the whole twangy country sound. Probably the only Ben song I won't listen to.

fuck you you fuckin' fucker

I don't like Carrying Cathy! I think it's boring..... I love Give Judy My Notice. There's no song off Silverman that I didn't like.

Elliott: He's good ya know...
Crowd: And cute too!
Elliott: (laughs) Yeah, he's a cute motherfucker! Pete how about givin' me a little sugar later?
*Crowd Laughs*
Elliott: Come to papa...

NonSFS Give Judy My Notice is potentially Ben's best song. Or top 3. Blows SFS outta the water

leather jacket is in fact one of ben folds five best ever songs, but really, it's not a ben song, as it was written by darren jesse.

he broke 57 guitars on consecutive nights

i agree, leather jacket is one of the best. i cant stand steven's last night in town. and although i like the sentiment and meaning, i cant listen to "late"

You haven't heard Leather Jacket? Oh man, so well written. It was also on the Benefit for Kosovo album, along with Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss" if you remember that song on the radio.. that was the time that Leather Jacket came out.

"Late" I really cant stand, it sounds like the actual song itself was kind of thrown together. It starts out too slow, and it really bores me. I get a sick feeling in my stomach when he sings "iiiittss toooo laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate" I don't like his vocal range in the song, and it really is worth skipping to me. The only songs I can really dig on that album are Bastard, You To Thank, Prison Food, Sentimental Guy, Time, and Trusted.

I love every song off Silverman except Judy. It makes me sad.

I love Leather Jacket. Carrying Cathy is awesome. And... Well, I love them all except Judy. I agree, the nonSFS version is SO much better.

SFS as a whole has some really boring drone tones to it. Like a bad headache, there's nothing exciting or different about any of it. With the exception of You To Thank or Prison Food... it really has such a dull...overcast...hazy...hangover..sound..

if i'm making sense? of course i am.

Oh I see! That's cool. I know what you mean though. It's not his best vocal range, but I can't help not to like it! I think it's a lovely song.

Hmm...Last Kiss, she's gone to heaven, so I got to be good. OOHH yeah! That song....not their best, they played it too much on the radio. I need to hear Leather Jacket...

Elliott: He's good ya know...
Crowd: And cute too!

Silver Street. Too Christmasey.

Gracie is the worst song ever committed to tape. Ever.

We have too many of these threads. But I think its impossible to agree on the worst Ben song, because all of us come from different music backgrounds. Like me, I'm blues/classic rock/funk... Juan likes tejano music... Webb does the polka...Drew likes Bishop Allen...Blair is mormon.. you know, its really hard to say which aspect of Ben is better, because we're all going to disagree.

Then you have some people lobbying for a song like "Rent a Cop" .. which I always found hilarious. The song, that is. I like to joke around that the song sucks as well.. but I admit I don't skip it when I have the EP on. Its a fun song for me. Kind of like Make Me Mommy or Hiro's Song.

I am not a huge fan of Julianne.

I guess I am in the minority because I like SFS a lot.

Silver Street is okay, but it is not at the top of my list either.

NO...I love SFS as well! I can listen to that album whenever. Although, I think I might have to say RTS is my favorite album.

Okay, Silver Street maybe, but I have to strongly disagree on Gracie. Maybe you have to have kids to like that song because it seems to be a love it or hate it song.

Girl is hilarious. It might be even better than some serious songs Ben's written.

Agreed. The average college student doesn't have a child, and isnt planning on having one, and if pregnant, most likely would get an abortion. I know some people with a savings account just for accidents.

Okay, I am listening to SFS now. I like RTS more (pretty much every song on that album is a gem) though.
