Top 10 Songs that are the Odd Ones Out of the Album

This means that one song is very different to the other tunes on the album.
The Top Ten
1 Money - Pink Floyd (The Dark Side of The Moon)

The rest on DSOTM are slow-paced, sort of depressing songs or instrumentals.

2 I'm In Love With My Car - Queen (A Night At The Opera)

It's the only song sung by the drummer, Roger Taylor.

3 When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin (IV)

This is the only one to really be plagiarised on the album. Yes, Stairway sounds somewhat alike to Spirit's Taurus even though Taurus is in A Minor but since Zeppelin won the lawsuit, I'm not going to say Stairway is plagiarised.

4 Mr. Soul - Buffalo Springfield (Buffalo Springfield Again)

The only song where Neil Young does lead vocals.

5 Ticket to Ride - The Beatles (Help!)
6 Gimme a Bullet - AC/DC (Powerage)

The only Powerage song without a guitar solo. Even though it doesn't seem like there's one in Rock n Roll Damnation, there's technically one behind Bon's screams at the end.

7 The Bold Arrow of Time - Tame Impala (Innerspeaker)

It's the only Innerspeaker song without lyrics.

8 Not Now John - Pink Floyd (The Final Cut)

Pretty much the same as Dark Side. This one is really the only heavy-ish one. Also, it's the only one that features Gilmour on vocals.

9 Life By the Drop - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble (The Sky Is Crying)

The only song on this album without drums.

10 Transformer Man - Neil Young (Lucky Thirteen)

It's the only Lucky Thirteen song where Neil's voice is changed to sound like a robot.

The Contenders
11 Orion - Metallica

It's a instrumental on a album where every other song has vocals

12 Fluff - Black Sabbath (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath)
13 (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth - Metallica
14 The Call of Ktulu - Metallica
15 The Bard's Song (In the Forest) - Blind Guardian

It's a acoustic ballad on a Metal Album

16 Voice of the Soul - Death

A instrumental with both Acoustic and Electric Guitar

17 Tattered & Torn - Slipknot

The song structure is pretty different compared to the rest of the album.

18 Strange World - Iron Maiden

A slow, ballad-like song while the rest of the album is heavy and fast. (Not saying that makes it bad)

19 To Live is to Die - Metallica
20 Human Insecticide - Annihilator

The only song with no guitar solo. It's also odd for another reason - this guitarist often puts more than 1 solo in a song.

21 Perfect Strangers - Deep Purple

The only song with no guitar solo. Moreover, Ritchie Blackmore was one of the guys who often played 2 solos in one song but not here.

22 Theatre of Pain - Blind Guardian

The only song with a symphonic arrangement. Sounds so different from the other songs but not less exciting.

23 Pictures of Home - Deep Purple

The only song with 5 solos (played on 4 instruments).

24 Symphonie - Silbermond

A piano driven pop ballad on a guitar driven alternative rock album.

25 Death Is Not the End - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

The only song on the album where no murder occurs. Actually, not even a death.
Also the only song that's neither original nor traditional.
