I've got no problem with Vs. being 6th. The following songs are all kinda stinkers; "Dissident," "WMA," "Small Town," "Leash," "Indifference."

I know these songs are usually considered as some of the weakest of vs, but I've always liked Dissident, Glorified G and Leash a lot.

There's not a bad song on Vs. Even the dumb ones ("Glorified G") are performed and produced with so much fire that they slay.

The performances sure do make up for any songwriting lapses.

I seriously love "Dissident." I think it's one of their best early songs.

Yeah, I love it too. Though it took me a while to come around.

I've heard that song about 10 bazillion times and there is nothing that excites me about it anymore. It's the same as Even Flow, Elderly Woman, and Porch for me. I just don't ever need to hear them again. When I was 12-15 I would've felt differently. Those songs "spoke" to me then. I'm 35 now and hey have nothing interesting left to say anymore.

I just hate the idea around here that overexposure means a song is somehow lesser. It's not the song's fault if you've heard it a lot.

I didn't ever say it was. My original comment was that it is a song I'm bored with, not a song a have a distaste for or think is a bad song.
