Have you ever liked a song only for a single part?

[Midget52]

Does it count if you actually PLAY the songs?

I enjoy playing Autumn Leaves, but only the part where I get to go absolutely apeshit in the solo section.

 

[Dark Knifer]

I have been known to do this, though not often enough that I remember what songs I hear.

 

[JEBWrench]

I've been listening to Spaceman by Babylon Zoo for like 3 hours now, but the only part of the song I actually enjoy listening to is the "Spaceman, I always wanted you to go, into SPACE MAAAAN!".

Wait, are you saying there's actually more to that song?

I disbelieve the illusion.

Aaaanyways, there are a boatload of songs that I enjoy almost exclusively for certain parts of it.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!..............sorry, I just can't freakin stand Lights. I actually freakin hate her music. More than Beiber. More than...anything!
*sigh*
Too each there own, no matter how much I despise their choice I guess.

May I ask why you dislike her music so much?

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Owl City - Fireflies:

Thought I liked it because of the lines;

I get a thousand hugs,
from ten thousand lightning bugs.


But then realised the rest of the song is kinda meh, now I don't really like it at all.

I don't dislike her as a person.
I just really dislike the sort of music she makes. Her voice get's to me(not in a good way) when she hits her high notes. It's like having to listen to those god forsaken japanese idols.
....Okay, I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I find her voice annoying, and I have always disliked the style of music that she does. I really don't know why he of all the artists, but I find her unbearable to listen to. There is worse out there, I know. Much much worse.
*shivers*
Lady Gaga.....

Fair enough. I was just curious.

I know.
All my friends asked me the same thing.
i give the same answer.
It's routine at this point.

I only like the opening of 'Kirisute Gomen' by Trivium. After that it just descends in to average speed metal.

I also started out only liking the synthesizer and acoustic bits of 'Amour' by Rammstein, but now I like it fine.

Spoiler: The first one.

Don't look at me like that! the chorus is amazing!

*hides behind sheet of metal O.O*

 

[saintchristopher]

For about 10 years, the only reason I listened to Beck's "Loser" was for that one "yo... cut it-" before the second or third chorus.

 

[Xeros]

Let's do the Time Warp again!

XD, I can definitely go with that.

Seriously? Some songs are famous because of one, and only one, part.

A prime example would be Rockwells song, which is only famous because Micheal Jackson sang the chorus "Somebody's watching me!", you know the song.

Yeah, I know that song. That's the only part I like XD. The song's not bad, but the chorus is the only part that kicks it up.

my general policy with songs is that if the song has one part that catches my fancy, and the rest of the song is tolerable, yeah i like it

Same. I still like all of the songs I listed, but those parts are the only times I actually get into the song.

So basically, what this thread is asking is "If you think a song for the most part but has a single riff which is AWESOME, does that redeem it?" My answer to this is no, not in the slightest. A mediocre song with a really awesome riff buried away does not = awesome song. It = A mediocre song with an awesome riff.

Actually I was only asking if people enjoyed any songs just for a single part in them, but I agree. It doesn't make them great, but because of that one part they're not bad.

And to topic starter: Hammer smashed face is a riff-fest I can't believe there's only one riff in there you like. I'm not even a Cannibal Corpse fan, but that track is a death metal classic.

It's not the only riff I like, but it is the only riff that really stands out to me. And yes, that track is a death metal classic, it's also the song that introduced me to the genre.

Wait, are you saying there's actually more to that song?

I disbelieve the illusion.

Heh, okay I'll go with that, but still, the song is almost 6 minutes long. You'd think 6 minutes of music that starts off so awesome, would have more to offer.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I like the bit in that just bieber song where Ludachris shouts "LUDA!!" apart from that the song makes me want to die.

 

[Lordmarkus]

Free Bird comes to mind right away.

I don't want a fucking slow part! I want raging soloduels!!
