5 underrated mmj songs

[The Big Come Up]

I know most everyone here loves all mmj songs dearly. but everyone has those couple that arent played much at shows and when they are, they make you feel pretty good. What songs do you think not get enough love?

my 5
1. Just Becuase I Do- An anthemic country rocker that exudes that devil-may-care attitude that we love about mmj, plus its got a harmonica (something often left out of the mmj sound), guitars staright out of Honky-Tonk Women, and one of those wordless bits that is so catchy its just amazing (oh-oh-oh-aaah-oh!)

2. Honest Man- The huge blues-rock fan I am, this song is like musical heaven. Take the Zeppelin and Stones style of blues, the MMJ attitude, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot production and put it in a blender, and what do you get? This foot-stomper.

3. Rollin' Back- Some pure pyschedellic fun, but its a bit slow and i can understand why it isnt played live too often. However, its a great song for late nights or spacing out no matter what time of day.

4. Sweetheart- Yeah, its not that complex a song, its relatively obscure to the casual fan, but its simplicity is what makes it great. Jim's voice sounds a bit like Roy Orbison via Neil Young, and those little keyboard riffs, boy they get me every time.

5. I Just Wanted to Be Your Friend-Obscure to any casual fan, but its great power pop that i would kill for them to bust it out live one of these days.

1) Ev-o-lyn - This song just rules.  Even my wife loves it.

2) What a Wonderful Man - Probably my favorite Jacket song.  It is kinda Big-starrish cheesy 70s poppy, yet balls to the wall rocky.  

3) Honest Man - Yeah, what you said.  Reminds me of Exile on main street.

4) Into the Woods - Dunno, I just really dig it

5) I needed it Most - Just gets ya right there, ya know?

[ManNamedTruth]

I agree with all those mentioned above. I'll add:
Weeks Go By Like Days
Knot Comes Lose
It's About Twilight Now (they should start playing this one next tour)

[The DARK]

I was about to start this thread myself (Not hard to believe ::))

1. honest man- everything Big Come Up said
2. it's about twilight now- why do people ignore this? one of best TF songs, rocks hard
3. sooner- put AC version on during summer, really does it
4. weeks go by like days- low-key mood makes me feel like i wrote it
5. heartbreakin man- their first single, should be played live more

I write my reviews like that to demonstate my independence from my English teacher.  ;)

[BH]

The following is the number of times the band has played a bunch of the songs that you guys have mentioned above on their most recent tour.  I am not trying to argue with you, because I would like them to play a lot of these songs more often as well!  I just wanted to show you that they do manage to cover a lot of ground.  More than you think.

WAWM                  Every show
Xmas Curtain        10 times
Honest Man           6 times
I Needed It Most    4 times
Rollin Back            3 times
Heartbreakin' Man      3 times
By My Car                 3 times
Knot Comes Loose      2 times
Twilight                      1 time

[The DARK]

I wouldn't exactly consider Xmas Curtain "underrated."

Angry Ewok and beofftherecord are right, they need to pull out War Begun more often.

WAWM - Yeah, I was going with the fact that it is underrated by fans.  I have noticed a lot of the fans lump WAWM and "Into the Woods" together as the weak links on Z.

I see what you're saying.   I think it's a song that maybe we take for granted but it is fantastic to see it live (yes, only twice).  That big guitar note right before the solo kicks in will get anybody's blood flowin'!  Oh and that wonderful scream.....

The wonder that is Charter MOXI puts the Conan WAWM only three clicks away from me at all times!  It's like a small shot of adrenaline always at the ready.  

[wholovesthesun]

i fuckin agree on all accounts.

"i just wanted to be your friend" esp.

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

1. Into the woods
2. Come closer
3. Nashville to Kentucky
4. Honest Man
5. Master Plan

all these songs need to played live more.  Into the woods would make my life.

[The DARK]

All MMJ songs will be underrated until they are in constant circulation on every radio station across America. That's how good they are.

It's About Twilight...
