“do people know what underrated means? As much as I love Led Zeppelins stairway. It should be in the top 10 best songs not underrated songs. Crazy on You is rarely heard on the radio and is truly an amazing song.
“How are We are the Champions and Stairway underrated? Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, but come on people, it's probably a little overrated. There are better Zeppelin songs. We are the Champions is appropriately rated. This song, however, is simply amazing. The guitar work is superb, and the vocal performance is a tie with Iron Maiden's Hallowed be thy Name for my favorite. Simply put, an amazing, underrated rock song. I would guess the reason is because of the female vocalist (that's why I didn't listen to Heart).
“Even the most musically "aware" people at my school havn't heard this song. But seriously... Stairway, Freak, Iron Man, and Bohemian underrated... wow.

Underrated song from and underrated band.

Everyone always says Blind is their best song yet this is far better and one of the top 10 metal songs ever
Love this song! Love korn! And amy lee just makes it better
It gets me surprised.. here in my city almost nobody has heard about this song! this is a masterpiece, how is it possible?
Look at Rolling Stones... Half their list was Beatles and this song was nowhere near the top. It is the best song ever, and that should be recognized by people.
Oh ma ma mia ma ma mia, ma ma mia let me go!
Listen to sample
Simply the best Black Sabbath has to offer
No one can die without hearing this song
tony lommi's solo is crazy, fast, and has everything a solo needs. The main riff, everyone has herd it. ask anybody on the street if they had herd the song iron man. Of course they would say yes because this song ROCKSSSSSSSSSSS! m/
this has to be god's creation because this has to be the greatest song to be recorded!

“this song is less popular than barracuda, we are the champions, stairway to heaven and bohemian rhapsody because a a japanese song can hardly compete with those american and other western very commercialized songs
ronluna
“if a japanese band can be more famous this song will become more known in the world
ronluna
“its guitar riffs and basslines are amazing with the fast beat of the drums and rocking vocals in alternative style. one of the most requested l'arc songs

Voting Civil War as it is the only underrated song here! Some people need to read the dictionary, how is Stairway to Heaven and We are the champions underrated?
Yah definitely onw of the most underrated songs in the history of music... Great lyrics but still some guys don't even know dis song
How the heck are many of the songs above this underrated, Stairway to Heaven is one of the most known and liked songs of all time, My criteria for underrated, Not in top ten songs of all time period
More comments about Civil War - Guns N' RosesListen to sampleMan this song is great. And Barracuda is OVERrated dumbass
MetalGod
It is annoying that all of the songs listed above are in fact very overrated. Megadeth is a very underrated band and "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" is probably their best song.
Not a single one of these songs is underrated, and some, like Frantic, are just terrible. But this is the best on the list so it wins.
This is the worlds best song! It kills me that it is so underrated.

cowboyskid2
Listen to sampleI always thinks this is a totaly underrated song, this is one of the best rock songs of the history, the guitar is just amazing and the solos simply badass!
This song is absolutely brilliant. "We Are the Champions", "Iron Man", and "Stairway to Heaven" are ridiculously overrated. Barracuda simply isn't that great at all.
Sultans of Swing is the best! Stairway to Heaven and We are the Champions are so overrated... Just listen to Sultans of Swing and you'll discover THE TRUTH of real music. Mark Knopfler, you just rock those guitar moments. I hope you'll never die
More comments about Sultans of Swing - Dire StraitsListen to sampleThis is really an underrated song. ONLY Linkin Park fans know about this song, even though it's so good, the whole world should know about it :)
Listen to sampleThis is the lost track of all time fantastic guitar work great tune

Listen to sampleStairway to Heaven, We are the champions - they're good, but never underrated. In my opinion they're overrated. Don't get me wrong, they are good, butthis list is for underrated, great songs like this one!
This is the only underrated song on this list. Stairway to heaven, We are the champions, Iron man - underrated? Serioulsy? I mean, they are good, but definitely not underrated in my opinion.
Listen to samplehe basically told us our future
This is such an amazing song. Even though a lot of people have heard of it no one really knows how deep the meaning of the song is. LP 4ever.
lukestheman4
Listen to samplethis one is really underated! I don't know why everybody is allowed to coment on songs!
Achilles Last Stand is a highly underrated song, not only among other rock songs, but also among the Led Zeppelin songs. I personally believe that this is their best song ever, ahead of Kashmir and Stairway to Heaven.
Listen to the drums, the bass and the guitar that has been played in this song. You will hardly find any song which has all these instruments played better together.
best song ever and also the most underrated led zeppelin song
LucasMota

Listen to sample“The band was still in High School when this song came out. Awesome tune
Listen to sample“you've seen right through disorted eyes, and you have to learn that this song is one hell of a song!
One of the greatest rock songs of all time in my opinion. Amazing lyrics by Jagger and a great guitar solo by Richards.
Well, it's not even in the top 1000 songs, and I think its #1
Listen to sample“the song with some of the best lyrics and guitar work of any song in the 70's that people seem to forget about.
Listen to sampleOne of the best songs that I ever heard in my life (I'M NOT JOKING! ) it never gets old plus every time I listen to it I cry over and over and over...

Listen to sample“Underrated song, underrated band. Reminds me of when I was a young child.
Potbellypup2
Listen to sample“Ride the Lightning and Fade to Black... two of my faves
MegaToolica
Listen to sampleThe opening eerie guitar riff made it an instant classic! The singer sings with a deep, soulful and blues voice. But, honestly, it's the eerie guitar riff that I keep wanting to listen too after 20 years of coming out.
I Dig this cult tune, however its not really underrated. A lot of songs here are not actually underrated, like Guns N' Roses whose vocals suck yet are played on every rock station in the world, that's underrated.

Listen to sample“People only know "Vehicle". This is way different, and great too.
“Hardly ever played, but a brilliant, energetic fantastic track.
Listen to sample“A Weary sad, sad, sad and totally underrated song. When I first listened to the song, I almost cried... :`(
chirkoman
Listen to sampleDamn cool song. Listen to the chorus it will blow you away. And I don't understand why people don't understand the word underrated? We are the champions - underrated? Definitely not, in my opinion.

ronluna
“From their 1st album, like nothing else they ever did. Great lyrics, a cool, night club-like sound
