Not in order

1. Faithfull
2. No way
3. In hiding
4. All those yesterdays
5. All or none
6. Of the girl
7. In the moonlight
8. Dead man
9. Footsteps
10. Off He Goes


I'm holding off on the last two for now.

1. Pendulum
2. Got Some

Both atmosphere-less, heartless little 2D look-backs at things they used to do so much better, but they're also the only remaining hints of Binaural era stylings and non-audience handholding in the last 10 years, so lets all pretend they're really good.

1) Push Me, Pull Me
2) Swallowed Whole
3) Help Help

I refuse to believe that these are even rated but for a few nutjobs.

Most of the non-album/rarities things seem to fall into this category for me:

Breath
Yellow Ledbetter
I Got Shit
Sad
Crown of Thorns
Puzzles & Games
I don't know if Undone or Otherside are rated but if so they're overrated too
Hard to Imagine
Of the Earth
Footsteps

Blood
STBC
Parachutes
Not For You
Jeremy
Whipping
Parachutes
Pendulum
Just Breathe
The End
Johnny Guitar

And more generally any other S/T / LB / BS song that managed to get more than 5 votes in the March Madness.

"Breath" for the win. What a boring song.

Got Some is just a fun ass mover.
Pendulum I agree with you on.




Stip....just ..... sigh.

I should maybe throw footsteps on my list, although i once really loved it. And someone (KD?) was right when they said elsewhere that the toned down live versions of the song are much better.

I'm fucking seriously thinking about 'foe-ing' stip. The only thing that stops me is that I don't need to see a big red message at the top of every single March Madness thread.

I was just adding my two to every subsequent list that appears, because I just assume that they're on there anyway.
