Overrated: "One", because it should STILL be the most played song on American radio.

Underrated: "Numb"

Dano: If that's how you feel about "One" - then wouldn't you put that in the "UNDERrated category"?

one of my favorites is the entire Unforgettable Fire album. Everything on it. I still get chills when I hear "welcome to the unforgettable fire." That song, so wind blows through my soul, isn't it called Indian Summer Sky or something?
