    Awww forgot Crumbs in my list, love that song

    Yeah I like Stand Up Comedy for its random verses
    ("Napoleon is in high heels" <--- legendary)
  2. Crumbs should have had Miracle Drug's slot on the Vertigo Tour after the first leg.

    I'd be tempted to add Miracle Drug to my underrated list as well. I'm a fan of Bomb as a whole to be honest...minus One Step Closer
  4. Miracle Drug is a fantastic song, especially with the "Edge is from the future" tale that preceeded certain performances. I just think it would have benefited being elsewhere in the setlist. For example....

    1. Switch All Because of You and Miracle Drug. Going from Original of the Species to ABOY is a little jolting, ruins the lasting effect that the song could resonate with. Go into something a little lighter and keep it in the encore. Beautiful Day>ABOY would have been pretty cool. Latest single from the album right in the middle of the set.

    2. Add Crumbs to the setlist directly after MD in the encore. Lightens the mood a little so you don't have 4 slow songs in a row (OOTS>MD>Yahweh>40). Even rotating MD and Yahweh could have been cool.

    I just feel like MD was wayyyy too big of a pee-break and then people missed SYCMIOYO.
  5. Underrated songs?
    Pretty much ALL OF BOMB except for Vertigo and COBL since everybody's heard of that one. While I know people don't like One Step Closer, I love it on the album. Live, it doesn't work.


    But then again, people did say that A Man And A Woman wouldn't work live, but they proved us very, very wrong in that department.

    i remember it was All Because / OOTS / Yahweh / 40 but i agree, Crumbs should have been expanded and used in place of any of them except 40 would have been awesome.

    Slug is awesome.
    Luminous Times is a worthy candidate indeed.
    Drowning Man could be on the list but since many of us want to hear it live it may not be considered "underrated" - same goes for Acrobat and Red Hill Mining Town.
    Although I know some members don't like them, I do like When I Look At The World and One Step Closer.


    Yes! Two people now like One Step Closer. I did think about typing it myself, but last time I mentioned it I got blasted
  8. When I look at the world, Grace, Kite, from ATYCLB are stunning and very personal to me. I was thinking only the other day that some of their best songs were not singles, but I guess thats a personal opinion that may not be shared by everyone.
  9. Agreed with Passengers; the whole album bar one song is incredibly underrated. I've said for a long time now. Anyone who doesn't have it, why not. Absolute gems like Kind Of Blue, Native, One Minute Warning, Forever Now, United Colours...

    Levitate and Beautiful Ghost are underrated - nobody really talks about them.

    Did they play One Step Closer Live?
  12. The Wanderer
    Miami (One of my favorites)
    IGWSHA (^^)
    IYWTVD

    They are all underrated but they are very nice live.

    P.S.: Forgot Miracle Drug, God Pt. II, Unknown Caller and Babyface
