I thought Unfinished Sympathy was the most famous Massive Attack track, based on how many Best Song Ever polls it tops.

Best Song Ever =/= Most Famous

Originally posted by MrJiveBoJingles Just listened to it. This is "okay" if considered on its own, but I think this is pretty boring and poor compared to Massive Attack's best works.

Getting to the top of public polls generally requires being somewhat well known.

Originally posted by Gauss Probably their best known track. Sljiva, is Guy Garvey vocal only in remix of Bulletproof Love or in original as well? Because I really liked 3D and Daddy G in original, their voices are awesome.

Don't know. Original hasn't been released officially yet, but yeah, I'd imagine Guy Garvey and Daddy G are featured in original version as well.

As for their most famous track, it definitely has to be Unfinished Sympathy. No other track, including Angel, Teardrop and Safe From Harm, is that accessible (even to a mainstream folk) and outstanding at the same time, and can generate such reaction of the crowd as US. It's their signature track and one of the defining track of the 90's.

Really wasn't feeling the new EP, but I'll keep an open mind to the new album just because I love them so much. And I would be all over it if they ever played in Atlanta.

I have a feeling more people have heard Teardrop (partially thanks to House) than Unfinished Sympathy, but that's just me.

You're talking about THIS? Well yeah, maybe more people have heard it, but I still don't think it's more famous or popular than Unfinished Sympathy. Not every stupid American is gonna love the track based on the 30 second downtempo instrumental alone (and you can tell that even by the comments below the video, where most of the folks don't talk about the song at all). It's just doesn't sound as catchy as US.

Originally posted by Groundhog Boy Which one is their best known track? Teardrop? IMO, Angel is by far their best known, just because of the number of soundtracks it's in. Teardrop is just well known because it's the opening theme to House.

Teardrop was HUGE long before House. I love the series, but I love that track more. I really don't think House has much to do with the popularity of it. I usually don't rate tracks as numbers, but this might just be my number 1 of all time. Euro Zero Zero is also great. Massive Attacks latest album was really uninteresting to me, but I'll be looking forward to this anyway.

I think that at least here in Finland Teardrop is clearly their the most well-known track. If I play it, there are many who would say that "oh this is that track" unlike with Angel or even Unfinished Sympathy. Even though Unfinished Sympathy is probably second.

And yes, I'm waiting for the new album though I don't even expect it to be as good as Mezzanine.
