    Most Overrated Tune.

    Used to get slated for this by my mates BITD but I used to detest The Horn Tune/Track. Usually, as I've got older I'm come to appreciate tunes I didn't like years ago but I still fooking hate this tune, so much so, that I can't even listen to it

    I know someone who hates Edge 1 - Compounded with an absloute passion as well

    Re: Most Overrated Tune.

    Despite rating both back in the day & especially when hearing them at events, I can't stand Urban Shakedown - Some Justice & Edge* 1 - Compnded now......

    I know Rogue_D & Haze are both MASSIVE fans of SL2 - On A Ragga Tip......

    that would be anybody who has heard it 5,000,000,000 times since its release, me included! (and i own it!)

    *Euph flexes*

    any tune by bukem is wank imo, but that one on his label (don't know or care if its him or not) with the jingly 20 minute intro grates on me. 20 mins on jingley sound, then drops really flat with the bass and drums and then plods along for another 4 mins doing fuck all interesting.

    Euphs, people are entitled to their opinion, yes.

    You don't like Bukem, fact.
    But you're wrong about the tune structures

    Ever heard of this little ditty?

    [video:38r3wsmn]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zgzy-_rRUM[/video:38r3wsmn]

    20 minute intro?
    flat on the bass and drums?
    thought you liked hardcore?

    Re: Most Overrated Tune.

    As already mentioned I can't stand SL2 - On A Ragga Tip

    Another popular or rather un-popular choice is Edge 1 - Cmpnded, like Euph said it just got played to death

    Also The Prodigy - Everybody In The Place (Fairground Mix), IMO it doesn't come near the original mix that appeared on the What Evil Lurks EP

    Good point, and I did actually really have to think about a "banging" track on GLR... thought that would be the most unstrokey-chin tune, if you get my gist.

    Don't think we'll ever get Euphs to like Danny Bukem anymore than you lot will get me to fall in love with early 4-beat hardcore

    Agreed! I never liked the original, so I defo have no time for any remixes

    Re: Most Overrated Tune.

    Yeah that "jingly" description could fit a few glr tunes especially "Music" and I'd agree about the chin stroking-ness of it all, but the Dreamscape IV set is a banger I reckon. Good dj, overrated producer? That edge 1 gets on my wick too!

    Q Project - Champion Sound (original version)
    Why was it played so often? The alliance remix was much better (but still played to death)

    Ditto - I love the jungle sound of the Alliance mix, but for me the original just sounds darker and a little more raw - love to know where that dark synth stab comes from!

    Prof?

    that'd be me. can't stand it.

    deep blue - helicopter tune i've never got, though i still own a copy for some reason
    pretty much anything by the prodigy with the exception of "your love", though not the album version.

    god i could go on and on but i'd be repeating myself from previous posts!

    Re: Most Overrated Tune.

    oddly the prodigy just have never been my cup of tea. can't explain why tbh.
    i liked some of their stuff bitd but it's all aged so badly imo. when jilted came out i switched off....popcore
    that said i find myself with tickets for their warriors dance mini-festi thing this year....but only as it's where my sister-in-law wanted to celebrate her birthday. i'll be too stoned to care on the day though
