Top Ten Most Underrated Songs of the 2020s

Great songs of the music landscape of the 2020s decade that never got the attention they deserve. Whether it's because the artist is not famous (yet) or because it's overshadowed by the rest of their discography.
The Top Ten
1 Typhoons - Royal Blood

Royal Blood in general is underrated.

2 Wild Child - The Black Keys
3 Rescue Me - Dirty Heads
4 Distance - Mammoth WVH
5 Not Strong Enough - Boygenius
6 Vessel - SheisArjuna

A melody that's immensely memorable, strong emotive vocal delivery and don't get me started on these heavenly cinematic drums!

Never even heard of it before seeing this list, but it is good.

7 Elsie - The Arcana
8 Body Paint - Arctic Monkeys
9 Video Fantasy - Roxi Drive

Roxi Drive embodies the 80s like no other current musician can. She live the campy fashion lifestyle and breathes pure neon. But even without the gimmick: her music is just simply good! Those are great pop earworms.

10 By Your Side - Calvin Harris
The Contenders
11 I Got So High that I Saw Jesus - Noah Cyrus
12 Won't Stand Down - Muse
13 Making a Fire - Foo Fighters
14 Sweet Dream - Alessia Cara
15 Adrenaline - Sheila Layter
16 Boys Don't Cry - Anitta

It's almost as iconic as "Physical" and "Blinding Lights", and straight up better than "Stay". It's a prime example of how great this updated modern approach to the Flashdance style is, and what good outcome we can expect of this wave.

17 Protect the Land - System of a Down
18 Doll - Patricia Kelly

As part of the Kelly Family, then young Patricia Kelly had a glowing career full of hits in Europe. Like much of her family, her solo music still has strong album sales, but unlike her brother Michael Patrick Kelly, her solo songs don't make it big on the charts anymore. Which is sad, as "Doll" is a strong female empowerment anthem.

19 Mood Ring - Lorde
20 Sway My Way - R3hab & Amy Shark
21 Would You Still Love Me - Stefanie Heinzmann
22 Break My Heart Myself - Bebe Rexha
23 Wake Me Up - Foals
24 Runaway - Nina

Written by Ricky Wilde, brother and songwriter of new wave icon, Nina's "Runaway" is one of the most radio ready infectious synthwave singles ever released. The rhythm is just addictive and her voice is silky smooth as it slides over them.

25 Run Away to Mars - Talk
