"Most overrated" implies that people who actually ENJOY music sit around micro-analyzing it like this writer. In order to present himself as a consummate expert and enjoy a sense of intellectual ownership over the work maybe? I don't know. All I know is that finding reasons that "I'll Buy" or "Can't Hardly Wait" are 'overrated" is an absolute fool's errand. They are rated highly because they are fucking classics. This and other flailing critics might take a lesson from the seated fellow in the Bastards of Young video, meaning SHUT UP AND LISTEN.

It is absolutely the purest rockabilly song since the Stray Cats. The lyrics are hilarious... "Turn the lights off." I omitted “Lovelines” off of the “Hootenanny” album.

I was lucky enough to get one from my friend who was a volunteer DJ. That was my first ever exposure to America's best band. Now, since I am partial to the Tim album, "Bastards of Young" gets my nod for most under-rated Mats song. The song is loaded with social referencing about late baby-boomers and gen-Xer's: "No willingness to claim us, You got no wars to name us." Strong lyrics such as these got me hooked. As far as simply a great sounding song, and I realize it was a Westerberg solo effort, I can't get enough of 'Silver Naked Ladies."

All Shook Down is my favorite MATS album. No contest. And no popular MATS song is overrated. :) Nightclub Jitters, God Damn Job, The Last, Attitude, and Nobody.
