What song(s) by Live do you think people just gave too much credit? Songs that really weren't all that good...

They don't have to be popular commercially either. I think Night of Nights is overrated in the Live community personally.

Anyhoots, My choice is Overcome. This song comes off as whiny and reminds me of a desperate attempt by live to get sales from 9/11.

I think Meltdown deserves some of the praise it gets, but fails to live up to its billing as the underdog best song on TDTH. The alternate version where the solo is immediately followed by an extra verse is pretty cool because that extra verse is great, but it makes the song disjointed and it sounds forced. The album version eliminates that problem, but is too formulaic and is missing that great verse. I'd like to have seen them eliminate the solo from the middle of the song, stick in that extra verse and then move the solo to the end and have it be the outro, with some slight modification. This is another great thread we've had around here recently! yay.gif
