For me gotta say this lifts me everytime i hear it , nothing beats a brass band on top form.



Look them up on spotify for best sound quality - There is no perfect youtube video.

Talk Talk - Life’s What You Make It

One of the best songs ever

Has the 'hit problem' though, heard it too often. Living In Another World would be another underrated song favourite.

Talk Talk are one of the most underrated bands I think. Especially from Colour of Spring (absolute masterpiece) onwards. Sadly Mark Hollis passed away earlier this year.

Think of 1995 Britpop singles and Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Cast, Supergrass all spring to mind.

But this was best of all.

The two most popular Squeeze songs were picked earlier. Both brilliant. But in terms of a pure pop song, their best and therefore underrated is this one. Could happily listen on repeat for hours.

Brilliant.


This compilation belongs in every collection.

Love mcalmont and butler and I don't know if this should be considered a britpop song - from that era and members of the band connected with the las and ocean colour scene but this is such a good song, different style admittedly. Another one that has never got old despite constant playing.

Tears for Fears - you hear Shout, Everybody wants to rule the world and Mad World all the time, but this one (which was also a big hit at the time) has been largely forgotten:

Yeah, for me her best song.

I think their three most underrated songs are The Working Hour, Advice for the Young at Heart and The Hurting. I could not say which is most underrated.

Any song by the go betweens. The greatest band of the 80s bar none. REM and the Smiths were great but the go betweens were a different level. Great sound and brillant lyrics. Australia's greatest musical act. Always felt if they were from london or Manchester they would have got more acclaim. Anything outside Britian or USA does seem to be seen as little bit less cool from music press intelligensia.

Actually two more Australian artists also are underated.
Nick Cave is one of best songwriters of last 20 years yet he is underated while someone like Paul Weller ( who was a great songwriter in 80s eg The Jam and Style Council ) who hasnt written anything since mid 90s is heralded by British music press, while Cave is ignored.

Inxs , not a great band by any means. But they had some cracking singles.

Anywhere here is some great songs underated from Downunder

1 The Go Betweens Streets of your Town
2 The Go Betweens Cattle and Cane
3 The Go Betweens Bachelor kisses
4 The Go Betweens Spring Rain
5 Nick Cave Into my Arms
6 Nick Cave Mercy Seat
7 Nick Cave The Ship Song
8 Nick Cave The one I have been waiting for
9 Inxs Never tear us Apart
10 Inxs Mystify

From Irish point of view probaly the most underated Irish songwriter is Rory Gallagher. People say he was great guitarist which he was but people rarely say he was a great songwriter which he was. Here are some of his great underated songs

1 Rory Gallagher Philby
2 Rory Gallagher A Million Miles Away
3 Rory Gallagher I Fall Apart
4 Rory Gallagher Crest of a Wave
5 Rory Gallagher Daughter of the Everglades
