Most Underrated Song?

[Chablar]

I think Endlessly is underrated.

No-one else seems to like it.

I love it! :p

[Tramp-In-Denial]

Escape, Fillip, Screenager, Darkshines, Megalomania, Shine, The Gallery, Nature_1 and Soldier's Poem.

[Lauraness]

City of Delusions. I like Fury as well.

[Yus]

Fillip, FAWY, Endlessly, Screenager, TOADA, Darkshines and Escape to name a few... :p

[RaiDK]

I'd say Shine or Shine Acoustic.

Or Hyper Music, as no-one seems to like it...

[Lula]

I'd say Shine or Shine Acoustic.

Or Hyper Music, as no-one seems to like it...

Hyper Music is my fave song by them..

Recess is one that seems underrated to me.

[muse-freak]

Do you speak like that aswell?

like what?

[ducksquackmuse]

Nature 1

[naturaldisaster]

I love Fillip...No one else does...

[Hobo]

I love Fillip...No one else does...
That's where you're wrong. ;) It's certainly one of their most underrated songs, lyke, evohh.

[Ellie.B]

That's where you're wrong. ;) It's certainly one of their most underrated songs, lyke, evohh.

I'd say Hysteria is pretty undderated, which is a good thing consdering its so crap :happy:

I hope it does hurt, a lot, super eejit :mad: Stop hanging out on the muse board and read my book! STOP NEGLECTING IT OR YOU'LL BE PUNISHED! :horns:

[Hobo]

I was merely supporting your hatred of Hysteria, leave me alone. :'( And I've now got your book tattooed on the inside of my eyelids, so if I blink really really quickly I can do them both at the same time. :D

Invincible's underrated. :yesey:

[Yus]

I love Fillip...No one else does...

I adore it, one of the best songs on Showbiz! But yeah, not many people seem to like it.. I'm not sure why. :stunned: Same with Screenager.

[*OoS*]

All of those are apt candidates, but what about teh s3xy Easily? So demure and a well sexual bassline and the lyrics, the inferences! *squeals, jumps into a cold shower* Lol total English freak

[Ellie.B]

That sounds really painful :stunned: I admire your dedication to my wonderful book :happy: Have a pat on the head *pats head* :D

I see the transformation into Chris has already begun :( There's no more I can do for you m'boy, you truly have entered a world of hellish pervertedness :noey:

[Hobo]

I see the transformation into Chris has already begun :( There's no more I can do for you m'boy, you truly have entered a world of hellish pervertedness :noey:
I know you love it, though. ;)

On-topic, are there any Do We Need This lovers here? 'Cause that's just criminally underrated, seriously.

[Ellie.B]

I know you love it, though. ;)

On-topic, are there any Do We Need This lovers here? 'Cause that's just criminally underrated, seriously.

I love it up to the point that it cuts out :happy: I have the full version on my other comp but ive still got the half version on my iPod :rolleyes:

[ryanbmuff]

The Small Print is the most underrated song ever. Fact.

[thecitizeneraser]

Ahhhh let's see.

Shine and Shine Acoustic are the two most beautifully lyricized (if that's a word) songs Muse have ever written. Wow.
Sober! Listening to it right now. :D
Hate This And I'll Love You is just chilling.
Escape is such a powerful song... way underrated.
Megalomania is just too awesome, if not scary as crap.
Screenager as well...
Ruled by Secrecy is far, far underrated.
And, of course, Hoodoo. Talk about chilling and powerful songs there.

[Rafer]

Sober, Fury, and EASILY

[billeh]

+1 to sober

the groove is groovy also

[Mel64]

Sober, can never get sick of this song! Do We Need This is really underrated, has to be one of my fave Muse songs!

Other songs which I think are underrated:

The Small Print
Thoughts of A Dying Atheist
Recess
Nature 1
Glorious
Screenager
Futurism
Endlessly
Coma
Eternally Missed
Twin
Spiral Static
Fillip
Overdue
Hate This & I'll Love You

[james90]

sober, yes please, the groove, ashamed, and maybe fillip.

[WutDaFucksy]

eternally missed, glorious, the groove, hoodoo

[mai_taylor]

Shine

[ApocalypsePleasure2]

Shine

Invincible. Its a fab song that for some reason everybody hates.

Easily. Another song that is not receiving the recognition it should be.

S4A. You have no idea how disappointed I am about the members of this board disliking this masterpiece of a song.

Apocalypse Please. The only song in the world that sounds heavy, put instead of the heaviness being in the form of power chords, its in the form of a piano. Yet, it isnt receiving much love.

Space Dementia. The Muse song with the best ending EVER and it isnt appreciated much.

In Your World. Better than Dead Star and yet, it dwells sadly in DS's shadow.:(

[Static Shadows]

gkFDdOiKZKQ

:yesey:

edit: and that middle/end bit :LOL:

[Zerikou]

I agree with what everyone has said so far, but I have to put another voice in for The Groove specifically. Bad-ass song.

Also, I have to add some votes for Space Dementia, Ruled by Secrecy, Sing for Absolution, Fillip up there, and Invincible. And In Your World is better than Dead Star for sure.

[Riviera Paradise]

Falling Away With You

[Clunge]

I don't think Apocalypse Please or City Of Delusion get enough love, two of Muse's finest, cinematic, theatrical creations to date, good to see Muse appreciate how good they are and keep them in the setlist.

[ApocalypsePleasure2]

I don't think Apocalypse Please or City Of Delusion get enough love, two of Muse's finest, cinematic, theatrical creations to date, good to see Muse appreciate how good they are and keep them in the setlist.

But will they stay in the setlist next tour though?:(
Doesnt look like it since they booted out Bliss out of this year's setlist for at least 70% of the shows.

Gosh, I especially love Apocalypse Please to death. I hope Matt substitutes Feeling Good and Sunburn with Space Dementia and Apocalypse Please respectively. Aint gonna happen. NEVER gonna happen, no. :'(

Its not that I have anything against Feeling Good and Sunburn. They're up there among my favourites but having heard them live twice, I feel that Apocalypse Please would bring about a more intense atmosphere. I have not heard Space Dementia live and I probably never will but the Hullabaloo version and the EC20 bootleg of SD live really gets my heart pumping FAST.

In addition, Space Dementia and Apocalypse Please have the two best endings ever. SD with the distorted bass and the crazy piano, AP with the oh-so-dramatic piano solo outro. Probably my favourite parts of any Muse song, rivalling New Born's solo and Bliss' synth.

[U-Mos]

:yesey:

Well that sucks live!

[Static Shadows]

It's old festival low sound quality but it's still awesome. I worry over your opinions some times. :LOL:

[Murtain]

Recess :(

Recess :(

+1

[igotofunerals]

sober:p j/k (I used to sing it a lot last winter though, it was fun)

eternally missed for sure, and glorious

[ApocalypsePleasure2]

The two most underrated songs are Invincible and Sing for Absolution which are easily two of the best live songs. S4A in particular has lyrics which own all other songs PERIOD.

[Static Shadows]

S4A in particular has lyrics which own all other songs PERIOD.
"Sing for absolution. I will be singing, and falling from your grace, yeah." :LOL: If you say so.

This week i'll campaign for Screenager! Awesome song (esp guitar version) but often overlooked/disliked. Damned if I know why.

edit: And Sober, Minimum and Nishe, all awesome

:noey:

Sing for Absolution

Lips are turning blue
A kiss that cant renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful

Tiptoe to your moon
A starlight in the gloom
I only dream of you
And you never knew

Sing for Absolution
I will be singing
And falling
From your grace

There's nowhere left to hide
In no one to confide
The truth runs deep inside
And will never die

Lips are turning blue
A kiss that cant renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful

Sing for Absolution
I will be singing
And falling
From your grace

Our wrongs remain unrectified
And our souls wont be exhumed


The ones in bold especially the last two lines are pure genious. The title in iteslf is genious actually. Sing for Absolution, no one would make that connection. Its so haunting yet brilliant.

[Dead Star45]

i would have to say fury, i lot of muse fans i know aren't that interested in it. but i love it, especially the whammy over that massive bass riff. also Easily (i think that's what it's called), it's a bit repetitive but still a mad song.

Hate This and I'll Love You

[fusional]

What is, in your opinion, the most underrated Muse song? For example, the song that they never perform live, or the song that should have been released as a single but never was, or the b-side that should have been an album track.

I would have to say 'Hate This & I'll Love You'. I personally prefer this to 'Unintended' and I've hardly ever seen them perform it live. Plus, it is probably the best epic on Showbiz.

Anyone else?
the groove and/or fury aren't really underrated, they're just underexposed as far as i'm concerned. most of the people who've heard them, it seems, really dig them (deservedly so).

personally my nods for most underrated go to Megalomania and Endlessly, as most all muse fans have heard them, but rarely seem to talk about them

[multipleoranges45]

Probably City of Delusion. Another dare to be different song.

[garseys]

in your world :yesey:

[Alistair Hay]

Cave, Crying Shame, a lot of the Showbiz album really.

Point taken. But to write a song BASED on that. Now THATS pure genious. S4A is in my top 5 favs now lol. Im practically addicted to it.

[tartan11]

Falling Away with You

i mean, those lyrics... that guitar.... seriously? amazing. ahhhhh, i just love all their songs!!

[Rafer]

screenager is good...

[Sun`]

Fury

[jrallen]

Hate this and ill love you

:D

[ApocalypsePleasure2]

From Showbiz : Hate this & I'll love you/Filip

From Origin of Symmetry : Screenager/Feeling Good

From Absolution : Sing for Absolution/Endlessly

From Black Holes and Revelations : Invincible/Hoodoo

[Bilal786999]

fury although lots of people are getting into it these days and aloso futurism, darkshines, and easily :p

[Cydoniababy]

Top 5:

Falling Down
Hate This And I'll Love You
Fillip
Sober
The Smallprint

[higginst]

if it was just one i'd have to say Fillip.

God I love that song :p

[Cydoniababy]

if it was just one i'd have to say Fillip.

God I love that song :p

It really gets too low credits. There's plenty of underrated songs on Showbiz album...

[higginst]

yeh I know what you mean.....

Overdue.
Sober.
HT&ILY
heaps of songs actually....

[Cydoniababy]

yeh I know what you mean.....

Overdue.
Sober.
HT&ILY
heaps of songs actually....

Oh yes...

[Tr00jg]

I have to agree with Sober, Overdue + Escape. Showbiz is the only album where I actually like each song (very much). The other albums have down-ish patches, if you know what I mean.

[Rock Bottom]

I'd have to say the Interlude for AP. :LOL:
Okay, seriously now. How about Shine? totally underrated (the non-acoustic).
Also Glorious, The Groove and Agitated.
In the instrumental section I'd say Minimum. I think it's absolutely brilliant.

[migs]

Has to be Glorious. What a great song. Just shows Matts, Chrises and Dominics song writing ability!!!

[Alyson]

Definitely Sober.

[Easily_Hyper]

Hate this & I'll love you

Im not fussed at the start of it but its a really emotional song and good when it gets going:happy:

[Forced Easily]

Definitely Sober.

Concur

[VladieShark]

Crying Shame, Sober, and Glorious (the last one should have been a single instead of a b-side/bonus track...the band underrated it)

[jrallen]

Underrated? haha id say Muse's entire catalogue is underrated! :LOL:

[Chaz]

I've really gotten into SHINE lately, such an underrated song imo.

What's your take on it? The rain in the background is just a touch of genius.

Chaz

[Clunge]

S'ok.

I wouldn't be bothered if it had never been written.

[seregon]

I prefer it to Shine Acoustic actually but can barely remember what it sounds like

[Muttley]

If we're talking about underrated MUSE songs in general, only 1 possibility

Escape

[Judderman]

Ha, you know I never even knew what Shine sounded like, because all I had previously was Shine acoustic. I like the buildup in Shine better than the acoustic version. It seems more raw, more emotional. Shine acoustic is cute, Shine is better, more raw.

And don't listen to Clunge! I don't think that they like Muse anymore. I like almost all Muse songs - yes that includes Invincible and Starlight!!! so I might not be the best judge here. :(

[WutDaFucksy]

If we're talking about underrated MUSE songs in general, only 1 possibility

Escape

and dark shines

[Clunge]

I is bad, and apparantly you aren't allowed to dislike Muse songs here any more.

[AFX Twiiin!]

and dark shines

dark shines ftw!!
the piano's trash but the guitar's awesome!!

[Muttley]

Clunge, you were 11 when Escape came out so I take it you never heard it live.

I take it you've got a totally different musical background as I have and that MUSE is just the one thing we have in common or maybe not. You might like MUSE because they rock. I like MUSE because they can combine extremely good music with heartfelt lyrics I can relate to.

The acoustic version ROCKS.

Oh yeah I love Shine, except I don't seem to have it on this computer :( Only the Acoustic version which I like less. Beautiful singing in both, though.

[zebra_who_can_kick_ass]

I like Crying Shame

Hearing it live doesn't change anything on the album-version now, does it? Never ever bring age into discussion. Ad hominem is a lousy rhetoric way to converse. All the rest of your post is completely subjective and doesn't prove anything else than Clunge is right, cause he has an unique taste as everything else.

[funkadelic]

Ha, you know I never even knew what Shine sounded like, because all I had previously was Shine acoustic. I like the buildup in Shine better than the acoustic version. It seems more raw, more emotional. Shine acoustic is cute, Shine is better, more raw.

Actually I think he has a point about Escape. It's probably one of my least favourite songs on Showbiz. It's cool live though.

Shine's build-up and overall rawness is awesome, and the thunder in the acoustic version. <33 :happy:
Recess and The Gallery are pretty underrated!

[hyper_chondriac_muser]

Escape




Micro Cuts
Ruled By Secrecy
Hate This...
City Of Delusion
Spiral Static
Screenager
Space Dementia
Recess
Darkshines
Shrinking Universe
Megalomania
Con-Science
Nature_1
Blackout
House of the Rising Sun


A whole lotta fucking songs :LOL:

[khfreek]

Definitely Sober.

As a huge fan of that Muse album in particular, that's the worst song on it :\ Lyrics are pretty interesting though.

My pick for most under-rated would have to be between Falling Down or Hate This & I'll Love You.

[WutDaFucksy]

Hate This & I'll Love You
Invincible
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist
Glorious

[katuz93]

Screenager is awesome. It wouldn't be commercial success if released as a single but who cares... I imagine they would have done a cool video for it. And they should play it live more often. Piano or guitar version, both are great :)
Recess and Shrinking Universe could have been album tracks. Two of my favourite songs.
The Gallery is also good. I have to listen to Hullabaloo now. :cool:

yea, hey, shrinking universe is also micro cuts which actually is on an album so yayyy :D

and as for my answerrr.... hmm... eternally missed (looooove the lyrics!!), futurism is AWESOME, annnnnddddd i LOVE knights of cydonia and sunburn, but i think they get sufficient attention, just thought id point it out that i love those songs :happy:

[katuz93]

[Singing For Absolution]

Hate This & I'll Love You
Unintended
Escape
Sober
Screenager
Host (Most underrated of all.)

[Qúentin Räikkönen]

Hate This and I'll Love You
Recess
Escape
Space Dementia
Host

These are the top 5 most underrated songs in my opinion, in order of most to least.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I forgot Crying Shame! That would be between Escape and Space Dementia.

[Sian1994cc]

Sober, Darkshines, Escape
Eternally Missed and The Groove

[Rafer]

Blackout, Space Dementia, Glorious! :awesome:

[kaitie<3]

Glorious for sure ^_^

[knightofcydonia14]

I think Glorious is, but not because of the fans, but because of Muse not releasing it as a single or putting on BH&R.

[New Born Lee]

I gotta agree with the Wolstenholme, and say Escape is underrated! :happy:

[Antipathy]

Eternally Missed, Screenager, Megalomania, Shine Acoustic, Invincible and City of Delusion

EM I think SHOULD of been on Absolution :( Don't get why cause it could of easily stood on it's own as a single. Screenager never seems to get a mention anywhere dispite the fact it's one of Muse's most atmospheric and beautiful songs to listen to - same goes for Shine Acoustic. Megalomania was just unbelivably powerful and awesome to listen to I soooo want Matt to use a church organ again in another song cause of that. Invincible I just don't get the hate towards.. It's a great song and I don't really find it boring at all and of course the solo at the end is just epic. CoD just don't get why it's not played more cause it's a really good song.

[Max]

Invincible I just don't get the hate towards.. It's a great song and I don't really find it boring at all and of course the solo at the end is just epic..

You are wrong.

It's five minutes of Muse replicating Everybody's Changing by Keane albeit with a pretty crappy and showy solo towards the end.

[Antipathy]

You are wrong.

It's five minutes of Muse replicating Everybody's Changing by Keane albeit with a pretty crappy and showy solo towards the end.


Hmm I can actually see the similarities now, your right they are similar until like the last 1:40

Still like it though - better version of Everybodys Changing :LOL:

[L.]

Eternally Missed, Screenager, Megalomania, Shine Acoustic, Invincible and City of Delusion


Screenager I agree but I prefer the piano version than the one on the album. EM should have been on Absolution, the same way Easily should have been on BH&R (could have replaced Starlight... sorry Starlight no offense, it's just down to personal taste) CoD is an epic song but I'm biased on that one. ;)

I think Con-science is hugely underrated as a lot of people dismiss it because for the majority of the song it's just Matt with 4 piano notes and the end is just a build up of distorted sounds... but I found it the most emotional, gut-wrenching song ever. It gets me every time I listen to it.

[Veronica_cy]

Dark Shines
City of Delusion
Eternally Missed
Hate This & I'll Love You
Nature_1
Recess
Con-science

[Antipathy]

Yeah I kinda agree really I can see why not cause theres nothing to break it up, but then if you break up the first half you ruin the whole concept of the song so I guess it's envitiably overlooked.


Prooves quite well though some of the most simple things can be incredible.

[Liam-Muse]

Sober, how about Falling Down? I love it.

[rainingradioheads]

host is excellent, but nobody on here really talks about knights of cydonia or city of delusion. and coma is probably one of my favorite songs. all of them are really good.

[andres]

Invincible is nothing like the Keane song. It doesn't hurt that Keane blows dick too. Its Coldplay with a tiny bit more indie cred the most boring shit that ever shit out of an asshole.

[L.]

It's not my favorite, but i like it.
Five!

Aaaahhhh... Host is feeling the luuvvv.... :happy:

KoC is not being mentioned on this thread because it is not underrated... everybody bloody loves it :D (and for good reasons)

City of Delusion is my favourite song on BH&R so you will have my vote on that one!!! (music + lyrics + Matt's voice = :happy:)

I WILL AVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENGE

[pandaman37]

oh lol. i need to board more then lol ive never seen it mentioned... :LOL:

[andres]

and honestly i really do like pink ego box. its nothing like muse, but its very childish and genuinely indie and i like that

[L.]

oh lol. i need to board more then lol ive never seen it mentioned... :LOL:

KoC is pretty much in every setlist musers make up (see this section and the other muse topic), in the songs that should never leave the setlist thread and mentioned several times in your favourite part of any muse songs thread.

[Hoodoo? Youdoo!]

I say City of Delusion!
It's bloody brilliant and no one EVER gives it any credit! Those strings work so well!

Look up and count 4 posts up from yours... ;)

Now you can't say no one EVER gives it any credit!!!!! :p

[Burning_October]

Although yes, City Of Delusion IS really awesome. The last 3 songs on BHaR are fantastic.

+1 :yesey: :yesey:

I have nothing else to add!!!

[FutureLegend]

The Small Print is just perfect and of course .... Eternally Missed.

[khfreek]

The Small Print is just perfect and of course .... Eternally Missed.

Agree with both of those. The Small Print is really one of those songs that's rock packaged with a punk sensibility, don't really see that from Muse much :happy:

[rainingradioheads]

I like Host. :happy: Thought it was Rain off the Newton Abbot Demo once. I can't identify these songs I just got very well yet. :LOL:

City of Delusion is good. Although I do prefer Hoodoo and Take a Bow. Not so sure about MoTP anymore.

Host is getting a growing fan base :happy:

CoD and Hoodoo are 2 of my 3 fav songs on BHAR. I love playing them really loud in my car and sing along... especially:

CoD: "I will avenge / and justify my reasons with your blood"
Hoodoo: "Don't be afraid / I will take the blow for you"

I have done it so much that I can pretty much copy Matt's voice and intonations... :facepalm:

Yes I have palmfaced myself on that one!!11!!

Practice, practice, practice... Once you managed to have a steady release of your voice and air it just comes out easily!!! ;)

Maybe I should stop moving. :LOL:

[New Born Lee]

I say City of Delusion!
It's bloody brilliant and no one EVER gives it any credit! Those strings work so well!

I've seen loads of credit for City of Delusion on the board! Many people are uber pissed that it hasn't been on setlists!

[pandaman37]

KoC is pretty much in every setlist musers make up (see this section and the other muse topic), in the songs that should never leave the setlist thread and mentioned several times in your favourite part of any muse songs thread.

oh...
i substitute endlessly then. and motp. i really like motp.

[Couchy]

I'd have to say that Interlude off Absolution is severely underrated, it's never played live and no-one ever talks about it.

I don't know for sure but it sounds similar to something else, unless that something else is Interlude and I'm just messed up in the head

[andres]

Gotta be darkshines. Not that its really a favorite but it is definetly overlooked

[L.]

I've seen loads of credit for City of Delusion on the board! Many people are uber pissed that it hasn't been on setlists!

As much as I love CoD... I'm glad they don't play it live because, no offence but the couple of times they did Matt couldn't really sing the chorus and it just ruined the song for me... :(

[Hoodoo? Youdoo!]

DAMN FUCKING STRAIGHT!!!! personally it is my all time favorite muse song, and i would love to see it live!

I think another underrated one is Cave, i know quite a few people who are huge muse fans who say it's their favorite....i don't think it gets enough credit, it is crazy and absolutely beautiful....gah!

But my favorite from the album is Overdue, which obviously no one ever talks about....but the album version and the long EP version both fucking rock!

YEAH! Why doesn't anyone seem to appreciate the genius of Cave? Especially with the guitar solo over that beautiful piano at the end!!!

[andres]

Cave is the only muse song that is much better acoustic


oh well maybe shine too

[L.]

Cave is the only muse song that is much better acoustic


oh well maybe shine too

I would add I hate this and I'll love you to that acoustic list...

[andres]

I also think Starlight gets slagged on a bit too much because of how annoying the people who adore it tend to be.

Its actually got a pretty cool oddly downbeat melody to it, between the thrumming pounding bass line and the pleading grasping vocals.

I think TIRO is much more dire, really.

[Bixer]

I'd say The Small Print.

I adore it, but it's never played live anymore and lots of people on this forum seem to dislike it. Bellamy didn't even want it on the album for pete's sake :LOL:

Oh, and
I'd have to say that Interlude off Absolution is severely underrated, it's never played live and no-one ever talks about it.

I don't know for sure but it sounds similar to something else, unless that something else is Interlude and I'm just messed up in the head

I'm reasonably certain Interlude is based on Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings', so that's probably what you're thinking of

[TheEye]

Hate this and i'll love you

[gunnpj01]

Cave is seriously good :D
probably the best ending to a song ever x)

[khfreek]

probably the best ending to a song ever x)

Not quite, but it's good alright.

[MyLostMuse]

Eternally missed, The Small Print, Exo-Politics all awesome and definatly overlooked :(

[Futurellama]

Ruled By Secrecy is epic.

[useless_device]

Easily, In Your World and Fury. All of them are some of my fave muse songs, but they're ridiculously underrated for they're magnificence :mad:.

Sorry, im passionate about muse :rolleyes:.

[Silass]

Glorious and Easily aren't the most underrated, but they should have easily gone on bhar

Easily instead of Starlight
Glorious instead of invincible
:)

[Origin2001]

Hoodoo by far. It's still my favorite song from BHAR and it always will be. I consider it a sort of intro to KoC. Plus, the HAARP performance was just stellar.

[Joseph.]

Intro, Interlude, Map of Your Head and Agitated.

[Furygirl]

I like Forced In. It starts out kinda "pretty" and gets increasingly weirder and creepy sounding. It gives me some interesting mental imagery. Like you're taking a nice walk in the woods and then it gets darker, starts raining, and zombies come out. Or maybe it's just me... :unsure:

[bellamy'szetagirl]

Futurism. :D

*moves on to next thread*

[MotherOfTheResistance]

Shine Acoustic.

[Kitsune]

Hate This And I'll Love You! It's awesome!!:awesome:

[What_the_Keck]

Ruled by Secrecy, Hate This and I'll Love You, Hyper Chondriac Music . . . basically any slow muse song

[dinara]

Filip, I've noticed a lot of peope don't like it much, I think it's brilliant, also hyper chondriac music which is one of my absolute favourites at the moment :)
And yes I would agree, most of their slow songs :stunned:

[Bilbo-215]

That Sticks out to me, probably either Thoughts of a dieing atheist, or exo politics. similar songs with cool riffs. Personally I think that ToDA has matts best solo in it.

[mattzw]

Dead Star, I love this song, they played the riff for like 30s at the concert I went to, I got so excited.

[Megglen]

Falling Away From You
I'm waiting for the day it's played live

[shining_dark]

Falling Away From You
I'm waiting for the day it's played live

you'll be waiting a long time :LOL:

I think ruled be secrecy, city of delusion, twin, do we need this, screenager, escape

[Megglen]

you'll be waiting a long time :LOL:

:rolleyes: Don't remind me

[Bilbo-215]

ooh ooh and i want to add Yes Please, I forgot about that one.

[Darkshines]

Dead Star, I love this song, they played the riff for like 30s at the concert I went to, I got so excited.

Agreed :yesey:

[Allrightnow]

:rolleyes: Don't remind me

A VERY long time, I'd say, since they have to write a song called "Falling Away From You" first.

Oh, and 'Map of your head' is a bit underrated imo. It's genius!

[PuppetStrings]

Ruled by Secrecy, Hyper Chondriac Music, Megalomania, City of Delusion are underrated imo, and Hoodoo, although it's maybe not as underrated as the others, I still think it's a bit underrated. That song's amazing.

[a|MUSE|d]

I think the most underrated songs are:
- Hyper Music
- Jimmy Kane
- In Your World
- A Crying Shame
- The Groove

[glodelton]

Definitely Hoodoo, Ruled by Secrecy and Hyper Chondriac Music, as well as the piano thing :D

[Carolineee]

i LOVE glorious.. probably one of my favourite songs, and its real underrated.
also sober, hoodoo, fury, the groove....
awesummmm.


:happy:

[nohopeinfear]

The Groove, Hyper Music and Bliss.


The Groove and Hyper Music for a heavier sound and Bliss is just a beautiful track, I could listen to it all the time.

[Obi]

I like Forced In. It starts out kinda "pretty" and gets increasingly weirder and creepy sounding. It gives me some interesting mental imagery. Like you're taking a nice walk in the woods and then it gets darker, starts raining, and zombies come out. Or maybe it's just me... :unsure:

:yesey:

I love that about Forced In

[gothimyes]

Hoodoo sends shivers up my spine. They've played it live a good few times but it's not necessarily a song you'll hear on the radio amongst all their others

[sall26]

Endlessly...such a beautiful song!!!

[futurophy]

i like nature 1 but i never here it mentioned much on here..

[TooYoungToCare]

I actually think Filip is quite under-rated.

But Hoodoo and City of Delusion are up there.

[Joseph.]

I've recently fallen in love with Escape.
That is a def. underrated song.

[Robertw]

Hate This and I'll Love You. Also Shine Acoustic.

[MrPowell]

I think Take A Bow deserves more love.

[Furygirl]

I've recently fallen in love with Escape.
That is a def. underrated song.

Yay! Then you should go to this thread and vote for Escape in this round of the Muse song tournament. http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=62435 Escape needs your help! If you like Cave more, then don't vote. :LOL:

[Animus]

I think Coma, Host and Twin are really under-rated.
As is Sober.
yeah i don't really like these songs either...

[boomeraangsquad]

yeah i don't really like these songs either...
Actually what he is saying is that he likes those songs and thinks they are underrated by other fans.

[Invincible]

Host, Futurism and Agitated.

God I'd love to hear some of their b-sides on the tour.

That said, I've agreed to propose to my missus if they play Glorious whilst we're there.

[Russell_A]

Eternally missed, The Small Print, Exo-Politics all awesome and definatly overlooked :(

Epic Plus 1








Trufax is tru

[tankoman]

Interlude the guitar is SOOOOO good

[DyingAtheist]

Falling Down, i believe is underrated, i never hear it live and it's a really good song.
The Small Print, awesome riff, underplayed imo.
Futurism
The Groove
Glorious

[Map-Of-Your-Head]

"Coma" never really gets a look in :/ and it is a lush song

"Yes Please" is also fantastic

[nohopeinfear]

Falling Away With You :musesign:

Play it live you gits! :p

[appleshampoo]

screenager, escape, host, eternally missed
& ruled by secrecy. but i have to admit that
there are much more..

[I.Wanna.Be.Mrs.Bellamy]

HOODOO!!
And Dark Shines!

[I.Wanna.Be.Mrs.Bellamy]

Falling Down, i believe is underrated, i never hear it live and it's a really good song.
The Small Print, awesome riff, underplayed imo.
Futurism
The Groove
Glorious

Futurism is the best song in the world

[PolyphonicMuser]

Overdue. has a great change up in it.

[alternaterealities]

Futurism, The Groove, Easily and Ruled By Secrecy.

[Edguy]

Glorious should have been on BH&R
Sober and Cave should be played more live

[blackhearts08]

Definitely one of my faves is "Endlessly." It's such a beautiful song and I just love the sentiment of the song.

[Dom-is-God]

to be honest, id say the band as a whole are underrated! i cant remember the last time i saw them on the cover of a magazine or heard them on the radio! :rolleyes:

i also reckon the members of the band are particularly underrated individually, especially Chris who never seems to get enough coverage anywhere! even on live performances and stuff i dont know! he's like the under dog of all bassists, (and harmonica players! everywhere!) :LOL:

anyone else seem to agree?? :erm:

[Niall]

to be honest, id say the band as a whole are underrated! i cant remember the last time i saw them on the cover of a magazine or heard them on the radio! :rolleyes:


Maybe that's because they released their last single over two years ago...?

[Psyche]

Shine acoustic...:awesome: the most beautiful of all their slow songs
and
Soldiers Poem... poignant and heartfelt with lovely harmonies:happy:

[top hat]

Fillip, Nature_1 and City of Delusion.

[Boris]

hmm...
...well the last time I was hanging around these forums (couple of years ago) - no one cared for Falling Away with You...I've always liked it....

also...(see signature)

[Musefan249]

Damn, thats tough.

They seem to all be underrated b/c nobody I know likes Muse.

I'd say:

Hate This and I'll Love You
Spiral Static
In Your World

[Sparrow]

Hyperchondriac Music.

[Problemfanatique]

Minimum.

[SoulDrift]

Recess

The live version of that is fantastic, great Whammy work... must listen to it now hehehe

I really like the studio version..one of my top 20 by the band, actually.

[Yrathir]

The Groove, Spiral Static and Showbiz.

[Galizien]

The groove, especially when you play it backwards!

[Victoroy]

Probably Showbiz or Fillip

[iclipseco]

"Falling away with You", "City of Delusion", and "The Groove"...

Even song such as "Citizens Erased" seem to not get that much love, course i might be looking in all the wrong places.

[Victoroy]

"Falling away with You", "City of Delusion", and "The Groove"...

Even song such as "Citizens Erased" seem to not get that much love, course i might be looking in all the wrong places.
have you taken a look at the best Muse song ever poll? :LOL:

[House]

Citizen Erased for most OVERrated. :l

Fillip, Escape, Falling Away With You, Interlude :D, Endlessly, Soldier's Poem

[BarLennon]

^^^ Can't believe you think Citizen Erased is overrated!!

For b-sides i'd say Eternally Missed, Easily & The Groove for most underrated songs.

Of album tracks i'd say Ruled By Secrecy, Screenager or Hoodoo.

Hyper Chondriac Music deserves a mention there too.

[chazmaster2000]

The Groove: an awesome piece of riffage for your musical ruffage

Twin: LOUD chorus, early muse

Forced In: Just a really chillingly atmospheric vibe

[night]

Hyperchondriac Music (beautiful, sad and haunting melody) and Showbiz(great bass line and the song slowly speeds up and builds up to an awesome climax)

[Victoroy]

i think Glorious could have easily made BHaR and become a single =\

[ZakkyChan]

Escape, The Groove, Yes Please, Dead Star.

There's a few live versions of these from 1999 and 2000, but I'd like to see them played live more now days. Also Dead Star is awesome live. I don't know why it's not on most of their set lists.

[Apocalypse plz]

What is, in your opinion, the most underrated Muse song? For example, the song that they never perform live, or the song that should have been released as a single but never was, or the b-side that should have been an album track.

I would have to say 'Hate This & I'll Love You'. I personally prefer this to 'Unintended' and I've hardly ever seen them perform it live. Plus, it is probably the best epic on Showbiz.

Anyone else?
Hmmmmmmm, crying shame,endlessly,hate this and ill love you and ruled by secrecy.

[Nitsan]

Hoodoo, definitely. and somewhat Megalomania

[Weeman5872]

Hyper Chondriac Music; The Groove; Agitated. Anything off Random 1-8 really :p

Is it weird that Random 1-8 is one of my favorite album/single/ep :stunned:

[USofE]

United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)

[Weeman5872]
