What, in your opinion, is the most under-rated song. What is the most over-rated song?

Personally I think Two Suns In The Sunset is way underrated and Comf. Numb is way overrated. Doean't mean I don't like it, it just gets too much credit for being a bloated guitar peice.

Fully agree, Two Suns In The Sunset ia an absolutely fab track. Really catchy guitar chords and interesting drumming (even though it aint Nick Mason).

I think Run Like Hell is a pretty overated track. The song is great live with the lasers and everything, but not that great without the visuals.

I also think Learning to fly is pretty overated as a track. Why do the band insist on playing it live? If you've absolutely got to play a track from AMLOR, 'One Slip' is much better.

Other underated songs would have to be 'Wots...uh the deal', 'Crying Song' and 'Absolutely Curtains' from the two soundtracks.

Underrated...let's see.

"Summer '68"

"See-Saw" (I don't understand at all why people hate this track)

"Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast"--Maybe not the best...but it certainly isn't as bad as most people seem to think!!!

OVERRATED:

ABITW 2

Is There Anybody Out There? is rather underrated and is one of the best tracks from the Wall (IMO). Money is extremely overrated.

over - "ABITW pt.2" I see nothing special about this song except that it had/has appeal for rebellious children.

under - "Saucerful of secrets" This song is wonderful. There is some awesome bassing and superb drumming and haunting singing in "Celestial Voices" makes it an all time favourite and classic

The stage is set and the band is about ready to begin, i think.
