Overrated as it is, it still makes for a good tune. Parklife.

More overplayed than overrated I'd say. Cracking song.

Agreed. I live in a country where it isn’t overplayed and it’s one of my favorite Blur songs.

Good choice with Near Wild Heaven.

Ministry - “Jesus Built My Hotrod” :shifty:

Would "Guns of Brixton" count, or am I misunderstanding the rules?

Hello,

I'm glad you broke this ice. I was going to say Crooked Beat (I'm guessing I'm in the minuscule minority here - but it works for me).
