They all stand out on their own, though. I view Highway Unicorn was a weak track made with little effort on Born This Way but I don't consider it a filler track because it doesn't sound like anything else on the album.

I'm a fan of Born This Way and I'd say the fillers are:
At least at the minimum
Highway Unicorn
Hair
All 3 bonus tracks
Just because you like a song doesn't mean it's not a filler. I like Hair and it's a filler. BTW is a concept album and the 3 bonus tracks are filler (they are bonus tracks because they don't add anything to the concept), Hair and Highway Unicorn don't add anything really.

That's why I used the standard edition for my picks.

That's the negative stigma I'm talking about. People think pop artists aren't capable of creating filler-free albums anymore which is so not true.  |
All the rockers and hipsters complaining when it's the pop girls that are pretty much maintaining the music industry. Go ahead, write an album and make it a hit. I dare you. They're just scared haters.

Hair is NOT a filler. It's a single material.

People on here don't seem to get the idea of filler tracks. Sometimes less is more. I'd rather have a 10-track album will no fillers than an 14-track album with a lot of fillers. And any fillers would be best left to the deluxe edition.
