Ah, you can't beat an overrated/underrated song thread on a music forum! Don't think we've done this yet for LIHS.
To get the ball rolling...
Overrated - surely Home is a Question Mark. Was expecting this to be a genius song from the reviews round here but it's flipping rubbish. Sure, the music ain't bad but it's a bit like two Morrissey songs (Blind and Lost) spliced together with all the good bits taken out, and some truly dismal lyrics.
Underrated - my vote goes to Protect us from the Police. Expected this to be awful from the reviews but it's actually pretty flipping not. Really catchy music, full of drama, great arrangement, words are pretty good (and 'pretty good' is, sadly, about the best we can expect from modern day Morrissey) - one of his best protest type songs. The Venezuela ending is a bit rubbish but, otherwise, a great song.
