'10 Most Underrated Alter Bridge Songs You Must Hear'

Post by Fish Tacos »

Month oldish article I found. It's interesting how the URL says 15 and the ad-promoting 'click for next' style only has 10. Not sure I agree with the whole list but I thought there were some good ones.

Words Darker than their Wings underrated :lol

Coeur d'Alene is my main one, pretty hefty reason as to why ABIII edged Blackbird for me.
For all of the hope that it brings...

I wouldn't say We Don't Care At All is underrated. Its not great, and probably their weakest ever track for me. Saying that, I still like it...a bit.

Underrated for us or for regular fans? Big difference. If it were for random fans I'd add The End Is Here, Burn It Down, Life Must Go On, New Way To Live and maybe Calm The Fire.

Those can take 10, 9, 8, 4 and 3's places it were up to me.

I agree with 2 of these for sure, The End is Here and New Way to Live are great! (the other 2 are as well, to be fair)

Agreed!! It's definitely way at the bottom of all their songs for me....

I have to agree about Life Must Go On but I am very partial to that song....

I tried to come up with a list of my own but it really depends who you think is underrating these songs:
  • Casual fans? The list would basically be the best songs that aren't singles, plus CoA (the band's best single to date, which for whatever reason never caught on)
  • Die-hard fans? You'd probably end up with a dichotomous mix of the worst songs (BMD, WDCAA, etc.) and the "too generic" singles (RT, BW, etc.)
  • The band? Just pick the best songs they rarely play live
  • The general public? Just pick their best songs, period

The lack of Show Me a Sign is appalling.

Also, I've always felt that Wayward One is incredibly underappreciated.

1. Watch Your Words
2. Burn It Down
3. We Don't Care At All
4. Save Me
5. The Damage Done

Those are basically the ones that I like that no-one seems to give a shit about.

I give a shit about 3 of those songs! Watch Your Words and Burn It Down are some of my favorite from ODR and The Damage Done has one of the best bridges in AB. Songs like that make me wish they did double-solo's more as long as Myles' was more audible in the frequency unlike with TDD.

That's because a lot of people either like it and don't consider it underrated, or they don't like it because of how dark and emo it is and not even consider it good enough to be underrated.

I didn't include it because I love that song, one of my top 10 AB songs. :)

The whole bridge/3rd verse section of Show Me A Sign makes the song IMO. The song as a whole is amazing, but I always have to cra k it up during that part.

When I first listened to ABIII together with my best friend I actually had to take a break after SMAS because it wrecked my emotions. I always say that the greatest songs in the world are those that make me feel a very tangible pain in my heart, and SMAS did that so much, especially Mark's solo in the end. I don't know if I've ever listened to a song with such an intense atmosphere, and I still can't believe that so many AB fans dislike it. I think it's one of the three best songs they've ever written.
