Kill to get Crimson contains most songs that I consider the least well ones.
All in kind of the same too laid back style for my taste.

This was nearly 9 years ago and 2-3 album less. Maybe a new election will reveal new winners...
By the way, the only constant worst song is One world. But somehow, when I listened to it the other day, it didn't seem that bad.
Maybe even such a song, compared to some of the recent "pop" output, sounds great.
Or maybe after a certain age, memory tends to favour the older memories, that because they were created when we were young, are more vivid.

I used to think the same about Kill to get Crimson, but I found out that its laid back qualities take longer to establish themselves, but once they do they reveal their fine quality.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

Only Just discovered this thread.

Voted for Vic and Ray. It’s boring as anything. Although I believe it’s one of Guy’s favourites.

Great guitar work in Vic and Ray, and even better live.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Yes, and the mood is unique in this song, probably thanks to some kind of mode used which I'm too lazy to check right now. Phrygian-Locrian-Mixolydian-Knopfleryan.

For me, it's impossible to choose as I genuinely love nearly every song, but I'd probably go with TITS (Time In The Sun). I think the "Time In The Sun" catchphrase overstays its welcome, repeating a whopping 15 times in less than 3 minutes. The jazzy intro is kind of out of place; I thought it was going to be a jazzy song, but no — a very short pop tune. And this choir...  Seems to be a little excessive for a song like this.

But after all, it was a bonus track, which is now relatively forgotten. Worth it for the acronym alone... :lol

I didn't like Les Boys for many years until I understood it and I could appreciate it.

This song was MK becoming Chet Atkins unconsciously (I can imagine them playing it with an acoustic approach in Neck&Neck... Plenty of opportunities for arrangements and improvisations), it's a funny story and it even serves as a twist at the end of the album, a surprise. It's the mint sweet after a long dinner.

Most of my least favourite songs have grown on me by the time, so there is non for me.
Even my least favorite album “Kill To Get Crimson” has grown on me and now is one of my favorite albums.
That's the phenomenal thing about Mark's music, sometimes it takes a little longer to recognize a hidden gem.
This is all the heaven we've got, right here where we are in our Shangri-La.

I would say that Trapper Man is the one from that shitty album I hate the most.
