Maybe in my avatar, but I mean, a picture of my face that is the size of the top half of my index finger really doesn't do my sexiness justice.

"Is Vapour Trails underrated?"
I dunno, what is VT's "rating"?
I do know that I think it kicks ass, and that's all that matters to me.
I know the question is benign, and while I don't fault anyone for raising discussion over the level of overall appreciation for a particular song, I do wonder why so many of us care what others think about the songs we like. I mean really -- I don't give a rat's ass whether anyone else appreciates the same songs I do.
For instance, I think "Fight" is one of the coolest, most well-conceived and executed blues-rock cuts this band has ever done, but it is rarely cited by fans as a favorite, is never acknowledged by critics, and was passed over for the box set, etc. Do I care? No. It's not my loss, except for the fact that I have never heard it live, which is a bummer.
Same goes for "Wild Mountain Honey". That song relentlessly slaps me upside the head from beginning to end, with guitars doubling a bass riff so bold and bottom-heavy that it would make John Paul Jones proud. Yet I often think that I'm the only one that likes it.
Fine by me.

I love Toronto #4 and I don't hear it talked about much, I'd vote that most underrated.

"Fight" is awesome. All of RA is awesome. It's between DFN and RA as far my favourite Hip album goes. DFN is their masterpiece to me but at times I feel like popping RA into the cd deck rather than DFN.
