I was wondering what you peoples thought was the most Underated song of all time all genre of music are welcome.http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/67422/page=display_nation/nation=ashweegan
For me its My Hero by Foo Fighters
Well i dont know about you guys but i always felt that the Foo Fighters Kicked Arse and still do and that song never gets played as much as it should.

Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?

It gets overshadowed by Everlong a lot. Colour and the Shape is my favourite foos album anyway.

Of well known songs I would have to say Creed's "My Sacrifice" or Metallica's "The Unforgiven". I am so sick of hearing about "Stairway to Heaven" and any Rolling Stone song.

But outside of the mainstream there are quite a few songs that just blow almost any well known song away: Kamelot's "Karma", "March of Mephisto", or "The Black Halo", Stratovarius' "Will My Soul Ever Rest in Peace" or "Soul of a Vegabond", and Tiamat's "Carry Your Cross and I'll Carry Mine"... each of these are heavy metal or mix of metal and goth.

"We didnt start the fire"

That one song, by that one band....can't think of the name, cuz it wasn't rated by MTV as worth a flip...so....I'm gonna go listen to whatever MTV tells me to.

Uncle Fucker, or anything by Seal.

Stabbing Westward - "Waking Up Beside You"

also

In Flames - "My Sweet Shadow"
Sevendust - "My Ruin"
Fear Factory - "Acres of Skin"

Just a few... :)

Love In Flames instrumentals... but the vocals leave something to be desired.

The most underrated song of all time is:

a)Cover Girl- NKOTB
b)Dropped me the Bomb- Kix
c)Return of the Mack- Mark Morrison

A lot of Mudhoney stuff and a lot of Monster Magnet stuff...

Though the song that stands out to me most from modern times is Better Living through Chemistry by Queens of the Stone Age.

Of well known songs I would have to say Creed's "My Sacrifice"

That's not underrated. It's the song that made me stop listening to radio. If I hear that boring, watered down piece of...*regains composure*

Carry on.

"We didnt start the fire"
Oh God! Shoot me in the head... kill my family... punch my cat in the face... just don't make me listen to that song.

(or take me to room 101)

"Fundamentally Loathsome" by Marilyn Manson.
Wicked awesome guitar solo.

Most stuff by A Perfect Circle.

Built to Spill's entire album Ancient Melodies of the Future. Waay better than Keep it Like a Secret.

Anyone with me on any of those?

Well, APC are good and deserve to be more popular, but they're overshadowed by their status as a side project for Maynard....and to a lesser extent, James Iha. That's probably why they don't get the credibility they deserve.

Sting - The Wild Wild Sea. (on soul cages album)

Anything ever done by the Misfits.

Probably the target of the most negative criticism, and abuse by the most critics.
Yet, they are a cornerstone of american Punk.

Kamelot's "The Black Halo" was a great album, though I don't care much for Stratovarius expect for their instrumentals. Check out Persuader and Demons and Wizards(Vocalist is the same one as Blind Guardian) if you like those types of bands.

Milk it!- Nirvana

Raekwon The Chef - Wu-Gambinos.

Or anything by Small Brown Bike. ^.^

Milk it!- Nirvana

Fuck yes!

Doll steak!!!!!!!! Test meat!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

I think that "Santa Monica" and "Father of Mine" by Everclear are often underrated, and I rather enjoy "Porcelain" and "South Side" by Moby, the last by Moby/Gwen Stefani.

Anything they recorded with Danzig.

Post-Danzig the Misfits have become a sad parody of their former selves.

There is no such thing as "post-Danzig Misfits".

and I saw them in 97.

(Danzig left in 83)

Pretty much all songs by The Zombies.
More specifically:

The Zombies - Tell Her No
Marvin Gaye - Where are we going?
And Underworld - Two Months Off, such a sweet (literally, sweet) song!

Get 'em!

'the death of linda lee potter'
'its not art its paedophile porn'
'i really really fucking hate led zeppelin'

all by snow white

They've released albums without Danzig, and they're awful, just listen to American Psycho. :p

They do not exist.

Also,

DAMN right!

Glenn Danzig is an egotistical prick who despite being a black belt a) picked a fight with someone at a show and b) got knocked on his fuckin' ass with a haymaker.

Worse, Danzig has yet to release a decent album since he left the Misfits.

Having met Jerry Only, I can tell you he most certainly not a "cocksucking faggot".

Even though the only good Misfits music was recorded with Glenn, Glenn himself is an asshole.
He still harbors a deep grudge towards his earlier work, and refuses to yalk about it.
In fact, during his solo career, any mention of his former band, would incite rage in him.
Or even worse, attempting to get Glenn to sign Misfits memorabilia, resulting in Glenn smashing it.

Jerry Only, needs to stop calling his band the Misfits, but other than that, hes a really nice, down to earth guy, who goes out of his way to talk to his fans.

His first two solo efforts werent terrible.

Also, his Samhain stuff was so-so.


other than that...pure crap.

I'm not taking sides here, I just thought it was funny encountering this on Wikipedia - normally such comments last only about a minute or two before being edited out.

The only ex-Misfit I have personally encountered is Bobby Steele, who on the surface was charming, but was deeply manipulative of people who he was around fo more than an hour or so.

EDIT: I'm sure we've all seen the now legendary North Side Kings vs. Glenn Danzig video, yes?

You mean the one of Danzig getting Knocked the fuck out?

Its beautiful.

On February 28th, March 1st and March 2nd 2005, Glenn Danzig performed a half hour worth of classic Misfits tracks, in the middle of his Danzig set. Joining him on guitar was none other than Doyle. It was the first time the two have performed together in 20 years, and the first time Doyle has taken to the stage since he went on hiatus. These shows have prompted rumours of a reunification of Jerry, Doyle and Glenn, although Danzig has repeatedly made public statements shooting down such rumors. Glenn and Doyle plan on performing more shows together, and Glenn has stated that this is as close as anyone will ever get to seeing a true Misfits reunion.

Maybe he's realized the Misfits were better then Danzig?

We just need to get him and Jerry Only to talk...

And I stand by my assessment of Danzig's post-Misfits work. :p

That's the one, somehow I missed that Soviet H. had already mentioned it. It seems to have strangely disappeared from the net though. Conspiracy or accident? You decide.

I think he realizes what the fans react better to.

Also, this may have even been a stab at Jerry Only.

Doyle left the Misfits., it might have been a "haha..in your face Jerry!"

I would like to see it happen though...even if it was just one show.

You can still find it.

I know of one site that has it, but I would catch hell if I gave you the link.

I can say it rhymes with "ConsumptionJuction."

You can still find it.

I have it saved on my hard-drive, but sometimes you feel like you just have to 'share the joy'.

All I Repeat All Of Linkin Park Songs Are Good!!!

I know what you mean.

I think everyone should see it, and watch Glenn shoot his mouth off, and then crumple like a bitch.

Wonderful.

There's still time to get help. :fluffle:

I'll give him 5 minutes. *grabs chainsaw* :p

Why would you claim to like the Misfits, and yet call their best album awful?

I obviously don't agree with you on the quality of that album. ;)

Not only should you give up that name you use, you should never be allowed to listen to anything punk, ever again.

Come on, I'll let you try my Wu-Tang.

All I Repeat All Of Linkin Park Songs Are Good!!!


You poor poor thing...


Anyway back to under-rated bands, I'd have to say the Hives (and not cos they my fave band) But they get no air time at all, bar Hate to Say I Told You So, and Tyrannasaurus Hives is such a good album, but not much of their stuff gets played on the radio/music channels

"We didnt start the fire"
That got voted most overated once this year in fact! :rolleyes:

Juliet and Teardrop-Grant Lee Bufflow
Death or Glory-The clash
Warning-Green day
All of Midnight Oil

All I Repeat All Of Linkin Park Songs Are Good!!!
You don't know what your talking about mate, though i admit Blink 192 are good.

Cliff Richard - Wired for Sound

Because it's actually quite good.

Train - Drops of Jupiter is totally unskippable in my books

Cliff Richard - Wired for Sound

Because it's actually quite good.
But thats impossable!

Lazarus - The Boo Radleys. Genius.

I think a lot of System of a Down's early stuff can go on this list, like "Sugar" "Know" "War?" and "Soil".

All I Repeat All Of Linkin Park Songs Are Good!!!

You're right in a way. Most of Hybrid Theory was pretty good, and all of their other songs are exactly the same as Hybrid Theory! :D

this (http://www.egmondfilm.nl/mariken/downloads/marikenlied.mp3)

I reckon it's almost certain we haven't heard the most under-rated song of all time. It probably got played in a pub somewhere by some band that never got signed because the labels were too busy bigging up N-Sync.

Who the hell is ashweegan?

Anything ever recorded by Husker Du.

Of well known songs I would have to say Creed's "My Sacrifice" or Metallica's "The Unforgiven".



I WAS GONNA SAY MY SACRIFICE, why must everyone beat me to things

Underrated songs? Try underrated bands. Screw the Foo Fighters, screw Metallica, screw all of the crap you hear on the radio. The people who really deserve our respect are the ones who never get any radio time, never appear on MTV, never get their hands on any substantial amount of money for their wonderful creations, yet they continue to play music because they love what they do. Those are the artists who deserve our respect.

"These Days" - Bon Jovi

Crazy Town - Starry Eyed Surprise

Oh come on, it's funky.

OK then, the most under-rated-but-still-recognisable-tracks I know of... erm...
Massive Attack - Antistar?
Deftones - Lucky You
Havalina - The Lovesick Blues Of A Young Soviet Proletariat
The Jesus & Mary Chain - Blues From A Gun

Better?

I obviously don't agree with you on the quality of that album. ;)I figured as much. ;) Static Age, while technically a compilation and not an album is almost as good, and Earth A.D. is right behind it, so it's not as though the old Misfits stuff is awful, either.

I like Blink-182 i find some of their early stuff underated.

Overrated song of all time has to be- Bohemian Rhapsody

Most underrated- ANything by Bill Chase, back in 72-74, before he was cut down in a plane crash on his way to a gig in LA. Awesome trumpet player, one of the best to ever grace the stage with a horn, and had some rockin music too.

Some song titles I'd recommend looking up are- Scream Machine, Open Up Wide, Celebrate, Get it On, and Bochawa. ALl fo his stuff is good though. YOu can find it on limewire, dountful anywhere else, i know ive tried.

Cara - "Unspoken Restlessness"

Who the hell is ashweegan?
LOL
someone who randomly Tgd me.

There was also only ever one Highlander film.
End game?
