I'm going to say Kids... because if was massive name Kylie teaming up with massive name Robbie and making the Top 3 and yet I hear negative stuff about it now.

 

The Robbie rap at the end is just hilariously brilliant

Bittersweet goodbye.

Bittersweet goodbye.

 

Love this one :wub:

I feel like my big favourites like ‘Disco Down’ etc. get enough love, so I’m gonna go with ‘Under the Influence of Love’. I credit that song with really helping me with my mental health during the first lockdown, it was my go-to pick me up.

I agree, disco down, light years, butterfly etc get enough love from the fanbase and I love all these songs myself but bittersweet goodbye I also love and isn't nearly as popular as songs mentioned above.

I think there are several equally underrated but gone for UTIOL -

4 fantastic songs, I adore all 4.

Who’s voted for Kids :huh:

I dont mind Kids myself but i was very surprised to see it has 2 votes as i really dont see how its underrated myself.

I suppose maybe whoever voted for it (assuming they're not trolling) did because it seems to get quite a hard time?

I voted for Kids and I stand by it.

Reasons above in my earlier post where I do think it gets a lot of stick when it's not a bad song - so I consider it under-rated.

Interesting to hear all our thoughts behind songs, for me i think it’s widely disliked by the core fans - but it’s performed on nearly every tour, featured on Kylie’s and Robbie’s GH, we recently got an updated version on the Robbie album, it’s certified silver and still gets decent radio play so I think the public rate and remember it.

I do like kids but i think it needs to be rested on tour as the solo versions dont work as good.

Ugh god 'Kids' being performed on tour irks me no end. For the simple reason that if she insists on shoehorning it in every time, surely that would be the perfect opportunity to bring out a special guest to do Robbie's bits? But no, she just leaves it to the backing singers and it's the most pointless thing ever, it never works. She's really trying to appease the locals with that one.

I actually do agree with Chris and think there's a good case for 'Kids' being underrated. I too am tired of the lifeless live versions that get performed every tour but I think some of that criticism has rubbed off on people's perception of the original song. I love Kylie and Robbie's chemistry in the studio version and that chorus is great to belt along too.

 

The album is considered by a lot to be Kylie's very best but I think there's a couple of songs that are underrated. 'Loveboat' usually ranks pretty low but I unashamedly really enjoy it and it ticks all the buzzwords that were at the forefront of everyone's minds in the making of the album ("poolside", "cocktails" etc.). 'I'm So High' is another I really rate but I don't think I recall anyone really celebrating it.

I'm so high and loveboat would rate higher for me if on another album, light years is filled with so many great songs that these two don't feel as great as some of the others but are still very solid tracks. Almost 25 years on and I still adore this album.

So Now Goodbye, love it.

 

Saying that it’s been at least two decades since I’ve heard the album in full. So that might change if I do that.

It only occurred to me recently that I hadn’t heard the rap version for years….but still remembered most of it.
