Thought you'd started the 'Most Over-rated' poll then when I glanced at the computer screen!

In my opinion, Manics are underated. I mean, they could had been bigger than they are but that's really fine for me so I don't see any of there album as overated

I'm glad I still voted for Know Your Enemy.
It's a crime Green Day had the more successful album of that title.

How can BRIT and multi award winning, chart topping, critically admired and million plus selling album TIMTTMY be under-rated!

GATS for me though. Often maligned but it contains Sleepflower, From Despair to Where, La Tristesse Durera, Life Becoming A Landslide and Roses In The Hospital – five fucking great tracks.
yeah, but it's the others...

Wow that's amazing. In a way I'm glad to be that out of touch from it!
In my defence "It was always one or the other". No idea how I got that mixed up, but I'm not editing. Happy Holidays!

No doubt its Lifeblood

Why?

It was very pop & Nicky said that himself now though I hate pop it worked & I was surprisingly taken by it.

The biggest draw back was that the songs LIVE were poord because of how the tracks were produced. Pop sounds better on CD etc than on a tour but the Lifeblood tour was their smallest in terms of dates yet.

Neither Rage Against the Machine nor Green Day have albums called Know Your Enemy, but both have songs called Know Your Enemy.
