Pick 6 Most Overrated Ryan songs
The Underrated thread made me think. It was fun. We need an overrated thread. I'm sure its gonna be filled with mainly singles and "the hits", but I want the hot takes. Obviously it may be hard, so if you cant do 6, just do 3 or whatever.
go! |

Re: Pick 6 Most Overrated Ryan songs
But also:
Don’t Ask For The Water Tina Toledo’s Jesus Pearls on a String The Drugs Are Not Working Rocks Okay so not overrated songs (Because his only truly overrated songs would have to be his hits, which I mostly like). So these are just songs I hardly listen to on their own. |

Re: Pick 6 Most Overrated Ryan songs
Jesus, Don't Touch My Baby (piss poor attempt to get an arty Radiohead thing going.... Night Birds or Political Scientist does this better).
Easy Plateau (played way too much live in 2007) The trick here is that some of the contenders here have been dissed by critics and fans since the release of the album. I actually like The Sadness with the understanding that the "spaghetti western" arrangement is cheesy. People have shat on that song since the get go. Perfectly fine if you don't like it, but I would never describe that one as overrated. I'll go out on a limb. Stranger's Almanac is great and for some, that is the only good Ryan Adams. Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight is great and a fan favourite. That said, I think it is overrated. I could have been mid tempo filler on an Uncle Tupelo record. I think Fuck The Universe is overrated. The fuzzy production masks a lesser version of a Nuclear or Love is Hell. The song collage after the tune, for me is filler. Out of time and didn't get 6, but maybe more will come to me. |

Re: Pick 6 Most Overrated Ryan songs
agree about Jesus, but I think he got the the experimenting right with Fuxk The Universe. love that one... it's the culmination of all the craziness around LIH and it would have been the perfect album closer. it may not be a pretty song in itself, but it was great to see him do something out of the ordinary, an almost Lennonesque experiment with a tune.

I still love The End and the Hardest Part. I recall the reviews were just ok on this one and the prolific as fault accusations were flying. My take: hate it if you like, but I don't think it is overrated or overpraised except for by people to inhabit forums like this one. |

Re: Pick 6 Most Overrated Ryan songs
All of self titled.
Don't like the pseudo Bruce of that album and Prisoner but Prisoner is more likeable to me with a wider variety of songs. Literally not one song on RA that I care about. |

Re: Pick 6 Most Overrated Ryan songs
The songs on JCN are the best songs he ever wrote. It's not necessarily my favorite album, but the songwriting on that record is phenomenal.

Re: Pick 6 Most Overrated Ryan songs
Hotel Chelsea Nights is terrible. Just tried it again but still feel the same.
Amy is unlistenable. Similar to Blossom but that's not a song that's mentioned much anyway so I'm not classing as over-rated. All of the Prisoner B-sides as well. After the brilliance of the Pax-am 7" series I had high hopes, especially after all the initial feedback. Last edited by gavinm; 02-10-2019 at 06:16 PM.. Reason: Spelling |
