Favorite underrated songs

[Fried Gold]

Look at what you just said. You said you liked the way one of their songs seques into the next, that the 2 songs were complimentary.
OOOooh! SO overrated.

He has some unspoken "issue" with them.
Some Zep-Freak stole his girlfriend by playing Over the Hills and Far Away or something.

Are you actually a spastic?

eerie
You're getting weirder and weirder as these repressed resentments toward Led Zeppelin's clear superiority are probed.

A "spastic" is someone who suffers from paralysis with tonic spasm of the affected muscles and with increased tendon reflexes.

I don't think I could type this well if I was actually a spastic, and I don't see how a difference of opinion with regards to music and it's significance would even for a second give you reason to suspect I might suffer from a specific physical malady.

You still haven't really explained how "Lightning Crashes", Live's biggest hit from their 1994 album Throwing Copper can be considered an underrated song besides what you call your "personal opinion".

Took you a while to look it up? I consider it underrated because, unlike some other songs from the same era. R&B Ballads like Boyz 2 Men and Mariah Carey were way more popular in the mid 90's. Not to mention all the ****ing Bryan Adams and Celine Dion crap. I don't listen to commercial radio, never have, so if it got a lot of radio play I wouldn't know. I find it underrated simply because there was quite a bit more notoriety for other songs at that time and I PERSONALLY didn't hear much about Live. Is that explanation drawn out well enough for you or do I need to break out the ****ing crayons to "validate" my personal point of view?

I get it, it's underrated in your world because you live under a rock in the middle of nowhere.

Clear superiority to what, though? How many times do I have to say it that I think that Led Zeppelin are overrated. I never said they were rubbish, dull, boring etc, despite the obvious set up for me to counter you haiku analogy that haiku is, in fact, one of the most rigid of all poetry forms. I said they wrote some nice songs, so would you please stop being so insecure and acting as though I've insulted your first born, when in reality (y'know, that place where people are allowed to have an opinion about things), what I really did, was express an opinion about a band. A BAND. There's about as much magic in creating music as there is in creating a really nice meal. You learn how to do something to a reasonable standard, and then you apply what you have learnt to produce something tangible.. I can't sit here in awe of people who have learnt how to do something really well, when I pretty much have all of the tools to acheive similar results (albeit in a different field) at my own disposal.

alot of my favourite songs would probably be considered "underrated" by the mainstream considering most haven't gotten any radio play outside independent or college radio stations.

things like
snow patrol - make this go on forever, set the fire to the third bar
sage francis - makeshift patriot, inherited scars, escape artist
immortal technique - point of no return, dance with the devil, cause of death
bright eyes - let's not ***** ourselves (to love, and to be loved), don't know when but a day is gonna come
also bands like void, the dwarves, electric six, the dirtbombs and more.

now he forgot how to quote properly

I thought the 90's were like THE height of "alternative" music.

Oh no some random person insulted me because he has no argument left!

 

[BRUTAL]

I thought the 90's were like THE height of "alternative" music.

It was THE height of a LOT of music genres, R&B along with lots of Rock Ballads as well.

Welcome to my world.

 

[BRUTAL]

Welcome to my world.

I would never lump myself in with the likes of you.

Cowboys From Hell - Pantera.

 

[thedeadite]

i'd also like to add almost everything the ventures ever recorded/covered...as a band in general they are vastly underrated in north america (imho)

 

[Duende Verde]

Oh no some random person insulted me because he has no argument left!

I'll make it simple, a song that reached the #1 spot in the charts is in no way underrated.

You're just like those guys that say "I loved Batman Begins but none of my friends liked it, Batman Begins is an underrated movie", how can anyone argue with that logic?

 

[Mr Sparkle]

well, In MY particular experience we had 2 "alternative" stations and I could NOT tune them without hearing "Lightning Crashes" at least 6 times a day ( back then MP3 players didn't exist and Portables cd players skipped like a mother****er)

*shrug*

I rest my case...

Your Wikipedia skills astound me...

 

[Mr Sparkle]

no wait.
shouldn't that coupled with the fact that it did reach #1 mean you ..uh...lost the case?
meh. either way...I don't really care.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Will everyone stop resting their cases?!?

 

[Duende Verde]

It's called having contact with the outside world, I don't have to browse every fact, I know that from experience. LIVE wasn't some obscure band during the 90's like you want it to be.

Lightning Crashes was #1 on what?

 

[Duende Verde]

I don't even know why I'm discussing this, I don't even like the band Live.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I nudge my case and tickle it's nose with a feather till it's roused.

 

[Duende Verde]

Lightning Crashes was #1 on what?

Top 40, Billboard, MTV...
You name it.
