Except you're wrong, and that's okay. You're allowed to be. There aren't any other skippable songs on that record.

You could also just stop for two seconds and realize that it is completely subjective. Just because you view a song as "skippable" doesn't make it some universal truth. There are no objectively good or bad songs, or songs that objectively ruin an album.

Mine run more towards the performance and experience, such as

Sound support that's badly designed or poorly engineer. Louder is not better and doesn't make up for bad engineering. Pushing the sound up so loud that you can't actually enjoy the music just makes bad sound louder. What's the point of paying good money for a ticket if you have to wear hearing protection?

Bands who clearly haven't rehearsed or are just sloppy. Everyone has a bad night. I don't expect you to be perfect, but you should act like you care about the fact that I paid money to see you.

Bands with no stage presence. Musicians are, among other things, entertainers. Don't phone it in. Be engaging and look like you want to be there.

That one I can deal with, because it’s only a minute long and is clearly meant to confuse the listener, by which standard it does its job very well. I wouldn’t listen to it on purpose but I can’t usually be bothered to skip it. For some reason it reminds me more of a short cutscene in a video game than anything else.

I have more of a problem with its namesake, Honey Pie. I respect the Beatles for their understanding of British music history and their place in it, and their love for the music that represented that tradition, but I don’t need to show that respect by repeatedly listening to their take on music hall.

Breathing Patterns EP by the band To The Sky, it came out late last year.

I'm digging it lately. It's in the rock genre.

Miles Davis’ 1967 album Sorcerer is an excellent snapshot of Davis moving towards his psychedelic era, and the album is great until the final song “Nothing Like You” which was recorded in 1962 and features Bob Dorough (nowadays best known as the “folksy” singer of various Schoolhouse Rock songs) on vocals, and even at less than 2:00 wears out its welcome quickly.
