POP / OVERRATED: Best, Worst, Underrated, Overrated

Make me sticky, Martin!

I’ve gone for SATS. I hate the guitar sound.

I don't think "overrated" applies to any tracks on Pop. The ones that are most liked deserve it, and the ones that aren't, don't.

How about ‘underrated’ tracks?

That one's a bit easier. Like, I love Gone way more than the broader culture seems to.

Maybe someone should start an 'honourable mention' poll?

Define ‘broader culture’? Do you mean members here? If not, how does one measure what tens of millions of people think about the songs on POP?

I like Mofo a lot but not quite as much as many members of this forum. Everything else seems to be generally rated appropriately IMO.

I'll rephrase. I think a case could be made that Gone is underrated because it is unknown by the majority of people and often falls behind songs like Mofo and Please when U2 fans talk about Pop. So basically, I think the song is better than most other people think it is. Hence, underrated in my estimation. Hope that helps.

none of these songs are overrated

I’m sure there’ll be a follow up question…

Haha well at least I know there is no way to make what I am saying any more clear!

I’m confused. How can a song be ‘better than most other people think it is’? This is why the ‘underrated’ polls don’t make any sense.

I really cannot pick. The entire album is brilliant from front to back.

I went with Gone, simply because so many peeps like it. Thus, it is over rated. Fantabulous toon tho
