they listed radical adults & brother james as overrated? and diamond sea as underrated? wtf? do they know what they are talking about?

EVOLghost · 11.19.2009, 12:08 PM

obviously not. haha.

Rob Instigator · 11.19.2009, 12:10 PM

Thanks.. not a bad read.
food for thought.

all of lee's songs rule

EVOLghost · 11.19.2009, 12:11 PM

I'm surprised Teenage Riot isn't on the overrated side....dang.

noisereductions · 11.19.2009, 12:20 PM

DDN = Overrated.

_slavo_ · 11.19.2009, 12:23 PM

very obscure picks there in the overrated section (apart from Kool Thing, obviously)

the one that surprised me the most was Self Obsessed and Sexxee....

Trasher02 · 11.19.2009, 12:41 PM

Providence underrated? It hardly counts as a song.

SuperCreep · 11.19.2009, 12:59 PM

i agree with "kool thing" wholeheartedly. the rest of the overrated list doesn't make sense at all.

"swimsuit issue" is one of their worst songs, but i can get behind 2-4 on the underrated list, even if i think they aren't that underrated amongst SY fans. i don't know where "the diamond sea" came from. i would have actually expected it on the flipside, maybe.

PERFECTION cannot be overrated.

Just like pussay cannot be too hot or too wet.

EVOLghost · 11.19.2009, 01:14 PM

ingrate! why I oughtta. But seriously. This is the topic of overrated shiz. While I love teh Teenage Riot....my love for it has toned down due to the awesomeness of the other material.

Rob Instigator · 11.19.2009, 01:18 PM

For me Murray Street is overrated.

greatness (Teenage Riot and DDN) can never be rated high enough!! like girls in fuzzy bikinis

nicfit · 11.19.2009, 01:28 PM

most underrated sy song ever: Bone.

notyourfiend · 11.19.2009, 01:43 PM

most underrated sy song ever: sweet shine

jennthebenn · 11.19.2009, 02:56 PM

When I get back home on Monday, I think I may have to break this apart.
I wish people would keep in mind that SY songs aren't like Beatles songs; a
"Lee song" is not like a "George song" in that he and he alone composed it.

Rob Instigator · 11.19.2009, 02:59 PM

true.

and Genetic rules all.

EVOLghost · 11.19.2009, 04:08 PM

The only lee song I skip is wish fulfillment. I think that is preety weak. Wf shouldve been dropped instead of genetic

Rob Instigator · 11.19.2009, 04:33 PM

wish fulfillment is my favorite track off of Dirty. it makes me feel so GOOD when that shit is blasting.

Death valley 69 is a fucking masterpiece.
I love when sonic youth RAWK out.

now now now
death valley 69
