Now I know that most of us here are die-hards, but I do find myself skipping certain songs over and over again when I listen to the cd's.
I skip Liasons from Night music OBC
and One last kiss most of the time from the Follies concert
oh, and the Dog section right before "Finishing the Hat" from Sunday.
There's not many others, but sometimes they aren't very listenable to me.

The Right Girl - Why is Buddy dancing like a mad man?
There Won't be Trumpets - just don't think it is all that great a song.

Another Hundred People-Company.
A few OBC Sweeney Todd songs..
I LOVE SONDHEIM, it just depends on my mood, if I skip any songs at all.

also a bit of the beginning of Sweeney, mostly some "Barber and His Wife" and "Poor Thing" and stuff. I like it, but I kinda OD'd on Sweeney so now I'm a bit sick of those songs.
Same thing happened with Caroline, or Change. Always skip the first scene.

Posted: 12/20/07 at 4:30pm"Sorry-Grateful" on the Company revival recording. I don't know why. I liked it live.

A friend of mine once said, "A little Sondheim goes a long way." I agree with this statement, and I think it has to do with the power of his music and the amount of energy and processing it takes to enjoy his gifts.

Posted: 12/20/07 at 4:57pm"Company" from the OBC, because Strich is SOOOO flat in that second "we loooooooove you". I can't help it, it's gotten to be a knee-jerk reaction. I hear the song start and I leap for the "skip" button.

Something Just Broke from the revival recording of Assassins. I love that entire recording (I could do without the dialogue, but it's nice on occasional listen), but that song completely breaks the tone of the entire show. I know, people related to it but it just does not fit in.
And Another Hundred People on the 2006 revival of Company usually gets skipped because really, I just want the song, not 3 minutes of dialogue with it.
