Are there certain songs you skip everytime you listen to a CD?
I always skip the Wizard's songs on the Wicked CD.

I usually skip "Children, Children" on Bat Boy. I dunno, there's something about it which makes it go over like a lead balloon on CD.

To be honest, I usually skip "Hello, Little Girl" & "I Know Things Now" from INTO THE WOODS.

Of course you skip the Wizard's songs on the Wicked CD. Who doesn't? But for me Joel Grey is a bright spot on a CD that lacks any depth whatsoever...

I also skip all those songs before and after "Memory"

I skip "Johanna" (the one sung by The Judge) on "Sweeney Todd." And I never listen to the last five songs on the "Little Shop of Horrors" CD ("A Little Dental Music," "The Worse He Treats Me," "We'll Have Tomorrow," "I Found a Hobby," and "Bad"). Same with the "Wonderful Town" CD, I skip the ones sung by Comden and Green.

Everyone skips the Wizard songs along with "Something Bad" "March of the whatever" "Dear Old Shiz" and "Defying Gravity" becasue stephen schwats is the kind of persong who write song OUTSTANDING songs and some ****ty songs for every show.

I wanna try this...

"Everyone skips the Wizard songs along with 'Something Bad,' 'March of the Witch Hunters,' 'Dear Old Shiz,' and 'Defying Gravity' because Stephen Schwartz is the kind of person who writes some OUTSTANDING songs and some sh*tty songs for every show."

Not necessarily. But, it makes you (not just you specifically) look unintelligent and it muddles what you're trying to say.

There is at least 1 song I skip in most of my musical recordings. Even the best of shows tend to have a song or two where I can take the time to check my playbill or admire the sets. On Avenue Q, I skip the underwear song and often "Fine Fine Line" (love the song, just got tired of it). With Rent, I'm one of the few who skips Seasons of Love. I don't think I've ever listened to "Turning" on any of my Les Mis CD's.

I sort of find it immature to just skip songs. I try to give every song a chance.

I really don't skip songs on cast recordings. Unless it's a song I can't stand at all, I try to listen to the whole recording. Especially on the ones that I don't have memorized, I try not to skip.
