Your Favorite Bands: Overrated and Underrated Tunes

[GuitarToneFreak]

Thought this might be kind of interesting - if you could pick just one song from your favorite band(s) that you felt was the most overrated and underrated, what would your picks be?

I'll start with KISS - overrated

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFMD7Usflbg]Kiss - Rock & Roll All Nite - YouTube[/ame]

Not a bad song - but after hearing it on the classic rock station for the 300th time, it starts to take its toll on you

And as for underrated - I'll nominate this

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhcDsmdymU4]KISS - Dreamin' (Lyrics In Description) - YouTube[/ame]

A killer song off an underrated record in itself - I absolutely love this song and feel it's the band's most underrated. A long list, as I see it.

So, what are your nominations?

Great idea for a thread!

Overrated:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJRf0pUfOo]Black Label Society - Stillborn (from "The Blessed Hellride" CD) - YouTube[/ame]

This is the "Stairway to Heaven" of BLS's catalog. If someone wants to say they like Black Label, they say Stillborn is their favorite song.

Underrated (two way tie):

I'll play

Motorhead overrated "Goin To Brazil". Not a bad song in itself, but seems to get remade on every Motorhead album. Motorhead underrated is 'Another Perfect Day". I like this sound they had, brings out a different side to Lemmy too. Sounds like Robbo was a bit of a douche.

I don't know about underrated, but very often overlooked:

A lot of people like Free, but I've sometimes heard the criticism that this is "too poppy" - to me its really soulful.
