Most underated songs

Yep. Call me elitist, but I really do think there are objective qualities to songs.

You think. So are these qualities objective then? :)
Anyway, objective qualities to songs are food for thought and could be inspiration for further discussion.
 
The problem with "objective" qualities to songs, is most people are completely unable to be objective when it comes to music they dislike. Most people are only capable of giving subjective opinions about music. So any wider discussion about "objective" song qualities, would very likely just descend into a debate ruled by subjective opinions about songs.

Even though this forum is one of the best places I've seen for not letting those discussions deteriorate into pissing contests (great job mods) this is essentially right.
I would only say "unable to be completely objective" rather than "completely unable to be objective"

And thanks for saying in two sentences what it took me 1000 words to write in that overblown block of windbaggery upthread. :blush:
