Most Overrated MG(B) Song

[beautiful_midnight]

I just chose The Future is X-rated because I don't really like that one as much.

[Kitch_Man]

"Rico" has the cake in my books...what an annoying tune, almost embarrassing as a single/video at the time (there were so many other tracks off Underdogs that are superior).

 

Second in line would be "Carmailina," (for the same reasons), though neither was on the list for some odd reason.

 

Cheers,

JK

Fated, i agree with Sim, good tune, but lacking in any form of sentiment in the lyrics. but still its a good tune.

[TTO]

I voted for The Rat Who Would Be King, but I must say there were a lot of awesome songs on list. What about the most under rated song, I think that would have to be The Inescapable Us eh?

[Moonlight_Graham]

Personally i think Sort of a Protest Song is crazily overrated.

I've had that planned for a while now...but I wanted to wait until the MGB Tournament ends (if it ever will).

 

Don't anyone be an ass and make a topic on it; I have the songs planned already.

[squall17]

it was a tough choice, but the rat got my vote

[pennies]

hahah that crawling over apparitions would be me, i love it and really think it deserved any appreciation it got.

 

i'd have to pick Blue Skies...not that it was really recognized, but the bored seems to like it and i never really got into it. overrated in my opinion.

[rebellious_L]

I picked The Future is X-Rated simply because all the other songs are awesome and i can't call them overated. Maybe the rat who would be king is too.

[Steveo91]

Hello Time Bomb should have been on the list

[jwhale11]

Rico is his third best song ever!!

[Shortcut To Moncton]

Wow, my ancient thread was bumped up.

 

I think it's time to do my promised "most underrated Matthew Good (Band) song poll"

[Stu]

Who voted Prime Time Deliverance. I will slap you to hell.

 

Edit: This poll is kind of odd. Not just the poll but the whole subject. Because if something is "overrated" obviously people like it alot. So, does that make it a bad thing, err.

Maybe you don't like a song but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be praised. ;)

its gotta be load me up or hello time bomb.. but thats just cuz they were played to death.. i love them but i cant listem to them all the time

[Doormat]

I'd say Rico or Anti-pop...They are like mainstream :/

[gordonfreeman12345]

some of these threads are really boring

[somnambulist]

Guy, what the hell? Hello Time Bomb is totally the most over-rated. It's still pretty good, but way over-rated.

[Jarrod]

Then stop bumping them up to gain more in your post count so you can get stuff from the store! DAMN YOU!

 

Anyway, at first I said Apparitions, but at closer inspection, I can't say it's overrated anymore. I have been able to listen to the song again, and I can't stop listening to it. As an overrated song for me, it would have to be The Rat Who Would Be King. Don't get me wrong, it's a good song, but there is only ONE part of the song that I like and that's closer to the end, otherwise I just find it boring.

 

I'm not going to mention the singles other then Apparitions.

Overrated by casual fans, if I can even call them fans. Not even looked at by real fans as something "special" or great.

[Prometheon]

I despise In a World Called Catastrophe. It's over rated because at least one person in the universe enjoys it.

[somnambulist]

Yeah, In A World Called Catastrophe makes me cringe because to me, it's the closest Matt ever came to sounding like a boy band. Especially the video... *shudder*

 

And since it's not in the poll either, I still have no vote. ;)

I'm astounded Hello Time Bomb didn't make the list...

 

the song was written in about 15 minutes with a three string guitar

Hahahaha, yeah, I love that story. But honestly, as a rock tune, it's pretty damn good. He's certainly done worse.

This is not the poll about the song that took the least effort to create or about his worst songs for that matter. As for the other guy, IAWCC...the closest Matt came to becoming a boy band? Listen to the damn song and ignore at the opening bits of the video with him and his acoustic guitar on that sofa. The rest of the video stabs at the 1000 lb gorilla that we have to deal with South of the border--that's pretty boy-band-ish, ain't it?

 

If IAWCC wasn't a single, people would rank it as one of the best songs on the cd. People are stupid. If Weapon was a "cross-over hit" into Top 40 Radio, people here would hate that song as well.

i voted suburbia. I like the song, but it gets way too much attention
