Gaga skip tracks? *trigger warning*

*TRIGGER WARNING- If you get trigged by someone considering Gaga's work anything less than amazing, brilliant, show stopping, genius, never been done before- you may want to leave this thread now!  also I replaced the word "filler" for skip :huntyga:

Hey guys.  

im trying to gather some opinions and find out which tracks off each Gaga’s 6 solo studio albums you would consider skip tracks, or "unintentional fillers".
if you could please just go album by album and name any tracks you’d consider to be skips, that would help me out! And If you feel an album has zero skip tracks then you can skip that album.  

And when I use the word "SKIP" I sorta mean songs that feel like they're just there on the album, but don't really stand out.  Like an UNINTENTIONAL FILLER. for instance, I always skip poker face, bad romance, applause, born this way, etc- but I wouldn't consider them "skip tracks" or "unintentional filler". also I don't skip "paper gansta" but it feels like unintentional filler.


lastly, I just want to say that when we call a song a “skip”, that does not mean it is a bad song.  It just means when compared to the rest of the tracks on the album, it is not a standout.  Also, please exclude any bonus/especial edition tracks. (Fashion of his love, just another day, disco heaven, etc) Standard edition ONLY for this thread.

I’ll start w mine

TF: The Fame, Paper Gangsta, Brown Eyes (I really love PG and BE actually :) And I do like TF also)

TFM: none :) I’m not a fan of teeth, tho

BTW: Americano, Bad Kids, Highway Unicorn 

AP: Jewels n Drugs, Dope.  I don’t like Manicure either.

J: Sinners Prayer, Angel Down

C: Fun Tonight, Plastic Doll, 1000 Doves

“Filler songs are actually intended to be such by the artist. Filler are songs that a band just rushes through without any real dedication or inspiration, just to meet a deadline for an albums release, or to quickly capitalize on a hit or to literally fill up space, hence the word Filler.”
 

If an album can afford to have bonus or extra tracks there are no fillers. Calling songs you don’t like or think are boring fillers isn’t right. They’re songs you don’t like. Stop trying to justify their existence by devaluing them. :bon:

Truly, the only Gaga album with "fillers" is The Fame. 

Americano, Bad Kids and Highway Unicorn all tackle different themes that comprise the album (immigration, gay marriage, depression, traveling the world on a mission for equality and justice) 

JnD and Dope are essential to showcase the manic drug use and the come down afterwards. 

Sinners Prayer and Angel Down again discuss Gaga's emotions as they relate to her personal relationships and issues in society. 

Same for the songs you mentioned on Chromatica. All are essential to tell the story.

This. Just because there are songs we don't like doesn't make them fillers. Gaga has a reason for putting them on the albums. If she thought they were "fillers," she wouldn't put them on. Artists don't intentionally put fillers in their work.

“Trigger warning” ok sis. You’re literally using the word incorrectly. No ones triggered that you don’t like some songs, we’re just trying to make sure you use your words right.

1000 Doves as filler? I guess I have a use for the ignore feature here in GGD after all. :stalkga:

Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊

*Trigger warning* I agree with most of these, although none of the ballads you mentioned are fillers imo, there's way less inspired tracks
