Songs you love but hate to play; hate but love to play?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed that a lot of the time there are songs that you just hate putting on the damn game but love listening to, and songs you'd NEVER listen to on their own but love playing.

GH2: love Freya and The Trooper but hate playing them both, love playing Institutionalized and Thunderhorse but I never listen to them on their own. I'd never put Dead! or Jessica on my mp3 player but damned if they aren't fun to play. Meanwhile Hangar 18's on my workout mix but the last half of it is just painful.

GH3: I could play Cliffs of Dover all day long but it's boring as hell to listen to, in my opinion. I also love playing Cult of Personality but am not at all a fan of it to hear. Meanwhile I think The Way it Ends is a great song, along with Welcome to the Jungle, but I can't stand trying to work through 'em on the game. I love playing The Metal but really think it's one of Tenacious D's worst songs (why not Tribute or Rock your Socks???)

In terms of GH3 only, I can't think of much else 'cos I've watched almost an entire series of The Mighty Boosh overnight and it's broken my brain.

Kool Thing: ...yeah, I've said this loads of times. <3 Sonic Youth, </3 notechart.

Same Old Song And Dance: as above really. Great song... I might be the only one who thinks so but it seems inordinately hard to play on any difficulty above medium.

Tom Morello Guitar Battle: great piece of music, dreadful to play.

I don't think there's any that I really don't like to listen to, actually. They all tend to grow on me quite quickly.

Love the Song, Hate to Play:

-Cliffs of Dover
-Through the Fire and Flames
-Number of the Beast

Hate the Song, Love to Play:

-Cult of Personality

That's really the only one. Usually I play songs because I like to hear them, and rarely have a song I just play because the note chart is fun. Most of the fun is in the muic ^_^

And this is just GH3, I'm sure I could think of songs from other games if I tried hard enough.

GH2
Hate To Play love to listen

Freya: It's actually a decent song in my opinion.

Woman: One of my most anticipated tracks for GH2. Too bad I suck at it. Belevie it or not, but I 5*ed Laid To Rest before 5 starring Woman.

War Pigs: Great Song, but I am almost bored to death when playing

a billion times over.

Surrender: The problem with this song and guitar hero is that the song focuses mostly on vocals and has a repetetive guitar pattern. I love this song, but I would have picked a different one for gh.

Hate to listen love to play

Psychobilly Freakout: Don't like the song, Love the chart.

Beast And The Harlot:

= Good
Avenged Sevenfold = Bad

GH3

Love to listen to hate to play

My Curse: Gotta love Killswitch Engage, but if you downstrum this song (like me

) it becomes some sort of contraption to destroy your strummig arm.

Prayer Of The Refugee: FINALLY a Rise Against song in the game. But they picked the wrong one in my opinion. How many times am I going to have to hit nothing but chords and have fun on a song with not a single hammer-on? There might be one or two but thats far from the pont.

Slow Ride: *YAWN*

Number Of The Beast: I though this was going to be my favorite song in the game, but 3-note chords proved me wrong.

Love to play hate to listen

Before I Forget: Yeah, you heard. I like playing this song but I do not like Slipknot becuase I ain't some 12 year old punk.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot: Yeah...not a big fan of Pat Benetar, but the solo in this song is too fun to ignore.

In Love: I want to puke every time I hear this song, but it's got some mad fun riffs.

I love listening to Prayer of the Refugee, but playing it is about as much fun as stabbing myself in the sack.

GH3 Hate to play but love song

Slipknot - b4 i forget: great song and im actually good at it, but chart is a little tough. I broke 500k on it but after the bridge my hand is on fire.

Slayer - raining blood: This song is holding me back from 5* in expert. ok song and I guess chart is okay, but man... I cant even 5* it online when I can use my SP when I want. 215k is my record on single player. This should have been a bonus song!

Velvet Revolver - Slither: I used to hate this chart but now that I have played it a million times I love it. Once you get used to it its extremely fun! This is my highest ranking song

One and Raining Blood just aren't fun, no two ways about it. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to playing them.

I've only had one song that I've really liked but I absolutely dreaded playing. Sweet Child of Mine for some reason I just hate it. I don't know if it's the cover or the note chart probably both but I just can't stand to play it.
