Nominator: Underleveled/darkx (3/7)

(9, 8.5, 6.7)

[An all-time classic and one of my favorites. It was at the top of my most-listened to songs last year on Spotify and will be on this years list too.]

One of the songs that got hit hardest by being something that I already listen to constantly. If I've already listened it to hundreds, if not thousands, of times there's not as much interest in listening to it for a project.

I was originally going to give it a high score, try to take an "if I'm going to listen to this on a regular basis for all eternity, it has to get a high score; also there are other very familiar songs to get a high score, so hypocrisy blah blah blah", but honestly, this nomination just doesn't excite me in anyway. I've already binge-listened to it so many times I can recite everything by heart and don't even need to click the link. So it's good, I love it, yadda yadda yadda, but I want either something new or at least something where I can't recite the entire song from memory.

[I mentioned loving this song and all the many songs that sample it last topic, so this is a bit of a freebie.]

Pretty much everything from "Sound of Silence"'s writeup applies here as well. Great song, listened to it an insane amount of times, have it completely memorized, was going to give it a really high placement but changed mmy mind at the last moment.

This song's unique problem is that it's been sampled by other songs that I'd rather be listening to. Like right now, I want to go listen to "American Terrorist III" and maybe "R.I.P." afterwards. As good as the original is, it's kinda stuck in direct competition against two similar songs that I prefer.
