LEAST Favorite Gaslight Anthem Song?

I personally think Elsie is the best thing Brian has ever done so far. It's one of the greatest records i've ever heard.

How in the world can you not like 1930?? Holy cow.

1930 and The Backseat?! I know taste is subjective but Christ! That's Gaslight at their best for me!

It's hard to say, but my least favorite has to be Drive and Film Noir.

Drive is another favourite of mine

Film Noir or Even Cowgirls Get The Blues for me

Film Noir twice in a row? Now that's just crazy.

Wow, 1930 and the Backseat? I can't even...

Yeah. Really. That's hard to believe. I love those two.

But, that's pretty funny about the merch line thing. haha


I honestly have a hard time picking a Least favorite. But, maybe Film Noir.


^ lol ...almost 3 in a row w/me.

Backseat.

i don't particularly like backseat either, especially as a closer. the one thing i like about them closing with backseat is getting to the merch line early to beat the rush, haha.

Haha That's a really good way to see it.

Wow. The Backseat? I mean of course everyone's entitled to their opinions but I agree about getting "euphoric" especially with the "hold on"s on the end.

Sure you cannot really discuss anyone's taste in music cuz everyone has a different taste and it's good that way. For me 'The Backseat' is the only song they wrote until now that I just can't feel. There's no vibe or anything else. Some won't understand my feelings toward that song as I won't understand their opinons about some others.

This is a really fun thread! (Obviously I don't mean that in a "yeah-song-bashing-way")

Well, for a long time I didn't like Film Noir eitherl, but now I really really like it. Not in my personal Gaslight Hitlist, but fine.

The one I ABSOLUTELY don't like is We Did It When We Were Young. I just really don't like the sound of it.

It's not an original but I can't stand the cover of "House of the Rising Sun". I just can't listen to it, live (via London on Youtube) or iTunes sessions.

orphans. i guess it just a filler.

PS: some of you guys almost killed me... 1930? film noir? looking? geez

Though I can't say that I dislike a GA song there are a few I don't care for:

Angry Johnny and the Radio
The Queen of Lower Chelsea
Miles Davis & the Cool

This is just unfathomable to me. I can't get enough of House of the Rising Sun! Do you hate the song in general, like The Animals original version also, or is it how Brian sings it?

Yep! I mean I liked the iTunes version. But yesterday I heard it live for the first time and it was AMAZING!!! And I especially love how Brian things it.

I really enjoyed Brian's version of House of the Rising Sun. I will say, the best cover of that song I ever heard was Odetta's on the radio show Prairie Home Companion back in 2008. I was lucky enough to be in the audience and it was spellbinding. But Brian did the song proud in London...

Odetta on Prairie Home Companion - about 3 minutes in
