Here are the songs voted for more than once:

So hard to make things out - 24
Tiny Heart - 12
Living on Soul - 4
85 Weeks - 4
Places Named After Numbers - 3
Punk Rock City - 3
Smoke Up - 3
Adventures in Resolution - 2
Ole Mullohand - 2
You Never Heard About Me - 2
Don't you Rile 'em - 2
Pan American Highway - 2


That's a pretty good list. If you said more than one song in your post I only counted the first one. It wasn't either/or, it was pick one! I guess that's too hard for some people to follow the fucking rules. And there is also a difference about liking a song and thinking that it is underrated. In general, songs that haven't been played live a bunch of times are more likely to be underrated as are b-sides, but that is not say only those songs are underrated or vice versa. I don't think Pan American Highway is underrated because everyone loves that song and people talk about it all the time, although it was a b-side. And Don't You Rile 'Em has been played a bunch of times live but no one ever talks about it so I agree that it is underrated. Anyway, that's the right way to think about it, good luck to you. =)

When FB played Glasgow on The DITS tour all the ex-fans turned up because he was playing Pixies songs. Llano Del Rio was greeted by one of them as 'Oh not this hippy shit, I'm away for a piss!' Also, 85 Weeks and Bad Wicked World.

so what is the most under-rated song ?
So hard to make things out - 24
or
Pan American Highway - 2

does "So hard to make things out" with so many votes become highly rated and so cannot be considered under-rated anymore....
Can u really have a pole for most under-rated song?

I would say Announcement. Its great.

Pan American Highway seems to be revered, at least around here (and by me), so, its great but I dont see it being underrated.

The fact that it isn't on an album could be considered proof that it's underrated by Frank himself. I agree that it isn't underrated by the denizens of this forum, though.

I never hear anyone talk about "Whispering Weeds" (sorry if this was mentioned already). Also, "Places Named After Numbers."

On the list mentioned earlier (I'm too lazy to quote it) I'd say 'Places Named After Numbers'. Nobody's mentioned 'Brackish Boy' or 'Bartholemew', but I don't think they could be overrated, never mind the converse.

I think I might have to second "21 Reasons."
