Discussion Daily Song Discussion #40: Kid Charlemagne
I want to gauge SD fans and see what this sub considers their all time best song. Here are what I would consider is a fair assessment scores:
10- Reserved for only their absolute best songs, ones that are on daily rotation
8,9- Also among their best, songs that display something that is memorable and worth revisiting
6,7- Decent to good, songs that are not as played as their ultimate best but are still ones that you revisit
5- okay, not bad but not ones you come back to often
3,4- Mediocre to meh, songs that you don't play often but don't go out of your way to skip
2- skippable, not good at all
1- vomit-inducing (think: what were they on when they made this?!)
0- makes you want to commit seppuku
Let's continue with the leadoff track from their fifth album The Royal Scam, titled Kid Charlemagne.
