Agreed, it’s solid.

Much better than stuff like “Do You Remember”. lol

It does drag...

[RSSR]

Do You Remember is much better than She, but She has a place for me at shows.

Monkey Man is fucking gorgeous.

[ExistenceNow]

Monkey Man bottom 5.

There are 14 songs on Come Tomorrow that are worse than Monkey Man.

Monkey Man is a masterpiece what is wrong with you people!

i didn't like She until they played it on the tonight show with the roots...that added sound to the song made me understand what they were going for with the song and i appreciate it more, don't love it....to me its Seven's younger brother of a song....very meh with a few parts i like but doesn't work cohesively as a song

[DMBCardinal]

Monkey Man is great. I can't imagine it is a bottom 5 song for someone. Same for Good Good Time.

I like TGIY, so I have bad takes on DMB music too.

[great_divide_4]

People think Monkey Man isn't good!?!?!? I mean to each their own but damn that's a shocker.

[haiku.warrior]

monkey man and good good time are both A-tier DMB songs. case closed

Even if you don’t like Monkey Man. You don’t understand the appeal? Sonically it has a unique vibe among DMB songs, it’s musically complex, and lyrically it’s great. It’s all quality ingredients. You’re acting like it’s Plastic Girl (also rare but awful).

[ToySoldier#34]

I like the Plastic Girl riff

[Alpine416]

People so caught up in bucking the "rare equals good" moniker you have people out here defending Plastic Girl and saying Monkey Man is bottom 5

[ToySoldier#34]

Person = people

Funny how you think if you are the first to say someone is making stuff up it has to be true

okay sounds good troll

[dontburnthe_pig]

Spent a week in the bush near Victoria Falls hoping I would come back to some good news but…

[hopewelljones]

I think She and Time Bomb might be my two least favorite songs in the whole catalogue.

[grilldanmo]

I'm a very big fan of the CT album as a whole, but COCO & She are the songs I've come to like the least.

Monkey Man having haters blows my mind though. Someone mentioned it being better than anything on CT, which I don't agree with as B&BB and VItR are better for me. Songs like A&A, IOY, and DYR are completely different vibes, but also very good. But I do think MM is better than everything on ED and SU, by A LOT.

[jjlak15]

I dont really like She, but the version with the Roots on Jimmy Fallon is amazing. They took it offline, does anyone have a link by any chance?

To each their own, but you really like Come Tomorrow better than Time Bomb?

[Alpine416]

It is a bit tough getting ordering when calling out bottom (or top) tier songs. There will always be others you can point out and say "what about this one. Probably better to just take a tiered approach, for example my tiers I think I could fit most songs into would be:

Bottom Tier (bad songs, don't want to hear)

Low Tier (somewhat indifferent, doesn't move needle either direction)

Good Tier (solid songs, generally favored but not beloved)

Top Tier (Classic DMB, Want to hear at every show, beloved songs)

Trying to order the top or bottom #1-#5 or whatever just gets messy with the size of the catalogue.

I have a hard time choosing a top 5 but very easy time choosing the bottom tier, in order (CT being my worst in the catalog).

Come Tomorrow
Plastic Girl
When I’m Weary
Steady As We Go
Hunger For The Great Light

you honestly think Monkey Man is better than WYA and So Right?

[ToySoldier#34]

It'd be interesting to see how many people here have songs written in the last 17 years in their top 5

I 100% enjoy Monkey Man more than these 2. It’s one of their best songs in my opinion. It’s a progressive rock song with pretty deep lyrics and great musicianship throughout. It is the pinnacle of what a follow up to BTCS should have been.

I do like the other two songs you mentioned. They are in the good 50% of Everyday to me (Sleep to Dream Her, Space Between, Fool to Think, If I Had it All, WYA, So Right)

I have two that regularly teeter in my top 10
