Most overrated, most underrated SONG
«

Overrated: Long Promised Road. I find it to be incredibly bland, and boring lyrics.
Trader and All This is That too. Sail on Sailor
Underrated: Feel Flows. Flute solo.
The One You Can't Have, because it's still not recognized as the BEST SONG EVER.
Salt Lake City, for the drums.
Let Him Run Wild. backing track. Stack-O-Tracks. Absolutely. Perfect.
Little Honda, Ten Little Indians. Silly but so much fun.
Meant for You - the 40 most perfect seconds that ever kicked off an album
unused harmony/harmony friends, whatever that Breakaway vocal tag is called, it's breathtaking!

Overrated by the public is Kokomo
By fans I think Solar System, I Want To Pick You Up, Love Is A Woman, Let's Put Our Hearts Together,
Underrated By fans I think Farmer's Daughter, In The Parkin Lot, Here She Comes, Matchpoint, Cuddle Up
Underrated by the public is anything from Heroes To Child Of Winter.

Underrated by fans:
All This Is That (my favorite right next to GOK)
Your Summer Dream
Sunshine (from Imagination)
Overrated by fans:
Hang On To Your Ego
Add Some Music To Your Day
Cry (from Imagination...never saw what the big deal was)
Underrated by general public:
Too many to list!
Overrated by general public:
Barbara Ann
Kokomo (though I do like it...it just shouldn't be considered a signature song)
Rock And Roll Music (the single version is great, but there were many, many others that deserved to go Top 5 on the charts rather than this one!)

That's one of my most favorite lead vocals ever... just so amazing.

Huh. Interesting question.
For most underrated, I would go with "Love Surrounds Me" on LIGHT ALBUM. Overrated? "Only With You," or possibly "Somewhere Near Japan."

Overrated: Cuddle Up, Feel Flows, Little Deuce Coupe (boring), Fun Fun Fun, Do You Wanna Dance, Rock And Roll Music, Heroes And Villains (studio version), Help Me Rhonda (nothing wrong with that but why was this a number one and not Surfin' USA or Barbara Ann?) and the most overrated song of all time: Love And Mercy
Underrated: Angel Come Home, Somewhere Near Japan, Summer In Paradise (kitschy but it's a good thought), Hold Me, Goin' On (some fans like this song but it's not just good it's beside GOK the best love song - or did you people never lost someone you love?
)

Over-rated:
In general...Kokomo. I hate that song. Well, ok...maybe 'hate' isn't a good term. But I at least
don't like
it.
Also: Barbara Ann, Feel Flows, Cool Cool Water. I like them all, but they aren't worth all the hype to me.
Under-rated:
Be With Me, Love Surrounds Me, I'm Waiting for the Day, All This is That

Overrated: Til I Die. Sorry [actually not sorry], but I've just never really, REALLY loved it the way many do. I like it, but I don't think it's anywhere among Brian Wilson's best.
Underrated: This Whole World (beloved, but not beloved enough!), Al's Sunflower-era and Surf's Up-era songs, Wake the World, Be Here in the Morning, When a Man Needs a Woman, and (by the general public) Time to Get Alone.

Underated: Feel Flows (better than Trader); Where I Belong (never mentioned); All This is That; Sail on Sailor; Wendy; Little Honda; Please Let Me Wonder
Overated: On this Board? California Girls. Sorry, but unlike some of the other classics, it just wears on me after repeated listenings.
