Most underrated DS/MK songs

[qjamesfloyd]

Another one that I think is underrated and that rarely gets spoken about is What Have I Got To Do, I adore the song, I love the tempo, and how free and relaxed Mark seems, some great guitar fills too.

Oh yes, great song!

Meh, I totally disagree I think it's just rightly rated, not in the top 250, sorry. My counter-proposal is "I see you". Do you think it gets enough love? But the other thing I want to say is, why is MK so hard on losers, man? I see you, My Bacon Roll, Coyote (?), Rudiger.. what's his problem with us losers? We have enough troubles our own already, thank you. Why kick the man on the ground? It's not the losers who fuck the world, btw, it's the winners, right? So if any of you have a contact with Sir Marky, please tell him to write songs mocking the winners. Hope this is not too political for the moderators. Or racist maybe

Fantastic song, as are most of them on Get Lucky

Great songwriting, great performance. But it's one of those songs that are way too emotional for me, like Piper, ODR, and even BIA live.
Makes me shudder to listen to the once-mighty ship being ripped apart by efficient Asian workers, who couldn't care less about her glorious past.

Interesting point! I love "Let's see you".
About the losers: he's usually gentle on the losers who try, the "goodies" who just don't make it somehow, those who haven't got lucky like he did. Coyote is one if those, I think, and we just know he'll get up and try again, no matter how many times he gets pulverised. And of course, Coyote never actually hurts anyone.
But the guy in Bacon Roll and Rudiger are different imho. They're losers, but there's nothing good about them.

Millionaire blues? I'm sure there are others, too.

I always thought Coyote was just a twist on the cartoon, tbh. Also, the My Bacon Roll guy is not a loser? Rudiger might be in some sense, but it's Rudigers own fault he is a creep. Only he could change that.

Also, "the man on the ground" can still be a nice guy if he wants to. I think that's the difference. Like, MFN is not aiming at anyone doing typical working class physical work, but racist scumbags who also happen to have no skill and drive for success whatsoever and whine about people WITH skill and a drive for success.

River Towns

River Towns

Good one! Another 'town' song I would add to the list is Donkey Town. Also One More Matinee is a bit overlooked. In a parallel universe I would love to hear River Towns in an early 2000's production. I think it would be even better. Still a favorite from the modern days of MK.

Metroland has always been a huge favourite that I rarely read about here. The melody strikes me hard.

From the DS days I would vote Hand in Hand. It's a shame that it was never played live. I think it could have been pulled off on the later tours pretty well.
