Fillers?
How many albums have you recorded realbinky?
So just because you don't like a song, it's called a filler? And what if the songs you don't like, don't correspond with the songs others don't like. Would that make the whole album one of fillers? Why release an album at all?
Secondly, have you ever heard of songs "growing on you"? Songs "taking some effort" to understand and enjoy?
Singles are generally the most ACCESSIBLE, not the best from an album. Often the most expressive work on a record is the one least likely to be a single, and the one that takes more to eventually like. It widens your pallette.
Put it another way.
If you went to a show, to see an artist, do they give you the option of them skipping the songs you don't want to hear, and only playing your personal favorites? No. Their audience is bigger than just you, and they also release things for THEMSELVES. If you don't like a few songs tough cheddar.
