I was putting together a 'Best of BF' cd for my daughter and also came up with a 'Worst Of'.
There's not a great deal of his work I can't listen too but this lot will always get skipped.

Help Me Make It Through The Night
One Kiss
Valentine
Stone Woman
The Name Of The Game
All Tomorrow's Parties
Amazing Grace
Nobody Loves Me
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Heartache By Numbers

I don`t particularily disagree except for "Midnight Hour". I`ve never made complaints about "Eight Miles High", just accepted it as a minor track on a great album. Much of what you list seem to be accepted wisdom. It was especially relieving to see the most of "As Time Goes By" get bashed. I`ve never really loved this piece of "good taste". However, I`ve never agreed with those who think that "If It Takes All Night" is a bad song.

Add another song to my list.
Four Letter Love
What a strange song. I was shocked when I first heard it . It just doesn't sound like a Bryan song at all !
As Time Goes By has never done anything for me I'm afraid. The songs don't move me in any way shape or form. I know some people love that CD. Dunno why . There's nothing there. A bit like Don't Put Your Daughter On The Stage Mrs Worthington.
