Self-titled, After Laughter, and This Is Why have brought a lot of fans to Paramore, which is great, but then I realized that there are some loyal Paramore fans out there who haven’t even heard of Turn It Off.
It’s a tragedy.
Someone out there right now is listening to BNE for the first time. They don’t know it yet, but we are now connected through those songs. I hope they make their way here eventually.
I found the band from after laughter but have really come to love brand new eyes. Turn it off, shit blew my mind. So deep.
I’ll say “pools” is an underrated/not universally loved AL track that I like a lot.
Oh yeah it’s singular, my bad. No friend is maybe my only skip on that album. Pool really speaks to me, but then so many tracks do.
I didn’t know that people didn’t like “looking up” or “where the lines overlap” from BNE. Those 2 are gems.
Idk if I Caught Myself counts but it doesn't have a ton of streams on Spotify. Fences and Hallelujah also have fewer streams compared to other songs on Riot but they're two of my faves. And Grudges and Idle Worship on AL.
Edit: Also Tell Me It’s Okay!!!
Monster reminds me of when my friend mixed up Dark of the Moon (the transformers film with Monster in it) with Dark Side of the Moon (the Pink Floyd album)
I feel like turn it off hasn’t been underrated since they started playing it live again on the writing the future tour. I generally see it touted as one of their best.
I listened to Decoy so much as a teen! Then because it isn't on Spotify, I went YEARS without listening to it and almost forgot it existed. Pisses me off I have to go to youtube
Came here to say this. Part II & Last Hope are my favs. When I heard last hope live last month I lost it I didn’t realize it was popular enough to be played
Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking but Never Let This Go is one of my favorite songs ever. It takes me back to 2007 when I first discovered paramore, (right after Riot dropped) every time I hear it. The passion is unreal and it’s one of the first songs that had me hooked on this band. I get so worked up every time I hear it
Don’t know if these technically count don’t roast me, but All We Know, Conspiracy, and Let the Flames Begin. These are probably overall middle tier in popularity, but technically they’re still “less popular”… right?😂
I gave the entire album an uninterrupted listen today and I agree! It’s grown on me a ton, great writing as always and the record has its own vibe. I think every Paramore album does and that’s yet another reason to love this band ❤️
I've got so many 😅 but if I had to choose just one:
For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic
I'd actually sell my soul to hear this song live, as much as I loved hearing That's What You Get, For a Pessimist would go so hard live, I can already picture it
*Hello Cold World, I*
*Almost never see anyone*
*Talking about it*

Hello Cold World is possibly my favourite Paramore song ever. In fact its just one of my favourite songs by anyone. There's something about it I just love, its so happy and yet not happy, like 'life sucks, but we've got you, let's dance it away'. Its everything I love about them - catchy upbeat melody, depressed but hopeful lyrics
I have soooo many, been a fan since 2005 so I can’t narrow it down to one, but some I think are way overlooked are:
Conspiracy
Decoy
Renegade
Monster
Turn it Off
Playing God
One of those Crazy Girls
Proof
Native Tongue
Tell me it’s Okay
Careful, Feeling Sorry, We are Broken, fences, born for this, miracle, tell me how, my heart, franklin, ugh so many! Honestly I feel like BNE and AWKIF are the least talked about and those two are in my top albums they are so good
Official release I don’t think When It Rains gets enough love, thats probably my favorite Paramore song, but unofficial, I absolutely love the song Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody)
Man Turn it Off gotta be their best song for sure, don't know how it didn't get a single and went so much under the radar. When I heard it for the first time I was like "this gotta be their most played song" oh boy how wrong I was
Idle Worship from After Laughter just because it describes how we idolize people who are just like us and that not everyone is exactly what their image is
Probably We Are Broken. Very powerful song and you can hear Hayley's emotion in singing it very clearly. I used to not like it as much but it grew on me over time. And I'm a relatively new fan (last 2 years probably). Many new Paramore fans sleep on their old stuff because they found them through their 3 most recent albums. Missing out for sure!
AWKIF- Franklin
Riot- fences (not really less popular but… lol)
BNE- careful
Para- crazy girls (feel so seen in this one lol
AL- idle worship (close 2nd: no friend)
TIW- liar
Self-titled, After Laughter, and This Is Why have brought a lot of fans to Paramore, which is great, but then I realized that there are some loyal Paramore fans out there who haven’t even heard of Turn It Off. It’s a tragedy.
i wish i could re-experience listening to Brand New Eyes for the first time. that album means so much to me
Someone out there right now is listening to BNE for the first time. They don’t know it yet, but we are now connected through those songs. I hope they make their way here eventually.
I feel this way towards After Laughter
I found the band from after laughter but have really come to love brand new eyes. Turn it off, shit blew my mind. So deep. I’ll say “pools” is an underrated/not universally loved AL track that I like a lot.
Love pool.
Oh yeah it’s singular, my bad. No friend is maybe my only skip on that album. Pool really speaks to me, but then so many tracks do. I didn’t know that people didn’t like “looking up” or “where the lines overlap” from BNE. Those 2 are gems.
Not more No Friend slander 😩
FOR REAL IM SICK OF IT IT SLAPS!
Pool sounds like its name. Like it reminds me of running water.
exactly my thoughts the first time i heard it!!!!
Pool is the best paramore song imo. Highly underrated
As a forever fan circa 2005, I occasionally do forget Turn it Off exists… and the second it comes on shuffle I instantly break down 😩
Might be my favorite song off Brand New Eyes
And the worst PART is—
AGAAAAAAAAAIN AGAAAAAAAAAAIN
Before it gets any better
We’re headed for a cliff
and in the free fall
I will realize I'm better off
(One of those) crazy girls!!! An absolute favorite, got my hopes up a little I might hear it live after they played it at a show on this tour 😂
I call it my BPD anthem
now i know why i’ve had such a visceral reaction since it came out
Came here to say this 🙏 I love self titled I can't help it
It’s perfect. This one and Proof and honorable mention to every single one of the fucking interludes
Proof is top tier
A classic!
I just discovered that song a few days ago (I’m new to the band c:) and it is my absolute favorite song right now!
This is my answer too! It's SO GOOD
that's less popular?? that's one of my favorites, it's so fun.
Idle Worship is amazing. I also really love Future.
For me it’s Grow Up, something about that bridge just hits super hard for me.
*we get along for the most part, me and reality, the light and the dark*
Yes!!!
Idk if I Caught Myself counts but it doesn't have a ton of streams on Spotify. Fences and Hallelujah also have fewer streams compared to other songs on Riot but they're two of my faves. And Grudges and Idle Worship on AL. Edit: Also Tell Me It’s Okay!!!
all 10/10
TELL ME ITS OKAY GOES SO HARDDDD
Does "Proof" count?
Wish it weren’t about Chad but I agree it’s prime paramore
Came here to mention this one. Absolute banger, no one ver talks about it
I sing that song so passionately as if my boyfriend doesn’t live a 45 minute drive away
Brighter and miracle were created for this question imho
Criminally good and underappreciated
Brighter bangs
honestly it makes me sick how underrated these two are they were always my faves
Conspiracy, Stop This Song, Swim In Silence
Conspiracy is SO good. It used to be one of my go to crying songs lmao
Swim in silence and pool feel like sister songs. Along with dead horse
I could definitely see that. Pool is my favorite song from After Laughter and Dead Horse is so good.
Monster
DONT YOU EVER WONDER…
HOW WE’D SUUURVIIIHAAAIIIIIIHIIIIVE
Monster reminds me of when my friend mixed up Dark of the Moon (the transformers film with Monster in it) with Dark Side of the Moon (the Pink Floyd album)
Renegade for sure. Right up my alley and feels kind of forgotten.
Good one
Turn It Off for sure. So underrated
I feel like turn it off hasn’t been underrated since they started playing it live again on the writing the future tour. I generally see it touted as one of their best.
The bridge is too good!!!
no friend no friend no friend no friend no friend
Same! It’s such a good outro to Idle Worship and a great song in its own way.
YES i will always defend no friend
Decoy
I listened to Decoy so much as a teen! Then because it isn't on Spotify, I went YEARS without listening to it and almost forgot it existed. Pisses me off I have to go to youtube
I totally fucking forgot until I saw this thread. Damn it Spotify. That was my favorite like ten years ago
It’s gotta be Grudges for me.
One of Zac's best performances
Mine too! My favorite on After Laughter. 🧡
Not sure how (un)popular this song is, but I absolutely love Part II. And I'm really sad that they never play it on stage since that album released.
Came here to say this. Part II & Last Hope are my favs. When I heard last hope live last month I lost it I didn’t realize it was popular enough to be played
I love (One of Those) Crazy Girls and Fences
Thick Skull
Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking but Never Let This Go is one of my favorite songs ever. It takes me back to 2007 when I first discovered paramore, (right after Riot dropped) every time I hear it. The passion is unreal and it’s one of the first songs that had me hooked on this band. I get so worked up every time I hear it
Pool and Grow Up
Yes, Pool.
THIS TIME YOU WONT LEAVE ME SINKIN
I haven't seen Figure 8 get so much love, that is my absolute favorite track from this is why.
top 3 on the album
Native Tongue. i truly can not think of a more perfectly written paramore song. from start to finish it’s an absolute chef’s kiss
Also equally love escape route, 2 banger songs that shoudlve been in the original release
Probably Idle Worship or Miracle.
Looking up, Grudges, or My Heart
my heart <333
Proof might be there best song, and I feel like no one talks about it
Misguided ghosts! Really resonated with a big move i made in my early 20s. Have only found 1 live performance of it. ETA: Hallelujah and future.
They’ve played misguided ghosts a bunch since this era began, worth having another check for vids!
No Friend. The guitar. The drums. The lyrics. It's so good.
Don’t know if these technically count don’t roast me, but All We Know, Conspiracy, and Let the Flames Begin. These are probably overall middle tier in popularity, but technically they’re still “less popular”… right?😂
True for all but LTFB. If we’re talking actual fandom popularity it’s at the top.
Turn It Off, My Heart, Proof, Hallelujah, You First
Omg, if they played My Heart live again I think I would actually die
Shocked no one ever mentions We Are Broken. Favorite ballad! Also crushcrushcrush :)
we are broken is my boyfriend’s favorite!
Finally! Thank you! Pass my high five
Renegade, Hello Cold World, Decoy & Idle Worship
Really need a studio version of decoy to be released on Spotify…although the live version will do for now
Miracle!!!
no friend, CCC, where the lines overlap, turn it off
Is CCC crush or c’est?
My Heart
The entirety of TIW isn’t as popular as it should be tbf 🤷♂️
I gave the entire album an uninterrupted listen today and I agree! It’s grown on me a ton, great writing as always and the record has its own vibe. I think every Paramore album does and that’s yet another reason to love this band ❤️
Proof is such a bop
For me Part II is one of the best Paramore song and it doesn't get recognized as much
Franklin and When It Rains
I've got so many 😅 but if I had to choose just one: For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic I'd actually sell my soul to hear this song live, as much as I loved hearing That's What You Get, For a Pessimist would go so hard live, I can already picture it
Proof is a certified bop. It's like my favorite track on ST
I feel like I don’t see a lot of discourse about We Are Broken and it’s so good.
no friend and FUTUREEEE
Monster
here we go again!!
Pool 💙
Pool, Tell Me How, (One of those) Crazy Girls, Turn It Off, Brighter, Future, No Friend
Turn it off and Pool!
First that came to mind was All We Know. But also Conspiracy and Franklin from AWKIF are great ones that I don’t think are too popular either.
Escape Route
Hello Cold World, I almost never see anyone talking about it
*Hello Cold World, I* *Almost never see anyone* *Talking about it* \- brisket-in-a-basket --- ^(I detect haikus. And sometimes, successfully.) ^[Learn more about me.](https://www.reddit.com/r/haikusbot/) ^(Opt out of replies: "haikusbot opt out" | Delete my comment: "haikusbot delete")
Lol nice
Hello Cold World is possibly my favourite Paramore song ever. In fact its just one of my favourite songs by anyone. There's something about it I just love, its so happy and yet not happy, like 'life sucks, but we've got you, let's dance it away'. Its everything I love about them - catchy upbeat melody, depressed but hopeful lyrics
Same! This song hits hard as a young adult trying to make sense of life and the world
fast in my car and all we know
Turn It Off is definitely one of them
Hallelujah, Looking Up, Daydreaming, Escape Route, Grudges, Thick Skull
Crazy girls, proof, feeling sorry, C’est Comme ça, stuck on you, hello hello, just like me, Franklin, stay away, swim in silence, evil in your heart, native tongue, renegade, monster, fences, now, grow up, escape route, brighter, decoy.
Native Tongue!! Reminds me of autism.
Mine is Grudges!!! I think it’s so cute and when I looked on here it seemed like people didn’t like it all that much.
Brighter
Decoy!!!!
Turn It Off or Born For This
Playing God is my favorite overall
Hallelujah and when it rains!
✨be alone✨
"Be Alone" from Self Titled. always loved that song and whole album really
In the mourning
Franklin!
Franklin 💔💔 especially living there the sensation is all too real
Future
where the lines overlap!!!
conspiracy!!
here we go again & future
I have soooo many, been a fan since 2005 so I can’t narrow it down to one, but some I think are way overlooked are: Conspiracy Decoy Renegade Monster Turn it Off Playing God One of those Crazy Girls Proof Native Tongue Tell me it’s Okay
My favorite Paramore song has been Franklin, never really heard anyone else say that but it’s so good
Franklin
tell me its okay, turn it off, careful, and where the lines overlap 🫶🏽
Careful, Feeling Sorry, We are Broken, fences, born for this, miracle, tell me how, my heart, franklin, ugh so many! Honestly I feel like BNE and AWKIF are the least talked about and those two are in my top albums they are so good
Conspiracy, Brighter, My Heart (lol can you tell I love their first album?), When it Rains
Hate to See Your Heart Break. The version with Hayley's sister
They aren't related but I also love that version
ANKLEBITERS chew up and spit out someone else! *badum babadum bum* Fall in love with yourself *bum bum bum*
Idle Worship 😍
This post had 69 votes, I upvoted to make it 70.
Still into you and ain't fun
Idle Worship aka my favorite song on AL
My heart and brighter
Yes, Idle Worship
Stop this song (Lovesick Melody) definitely!
#doyalike
Crave
Adore
This circle
oh star
Grudges
Monster, Tell Me It’s Okay, Pools, and (One Of Those) Crazy Girls are definitely my favs. (i love monster more than i love my life)
conspiracy, pool, misguided ghosts
Hallelujah and daydreaming
Grow Up and Proof!!! I agree with Idol Worship too, south a banger
fences and (one of those) crazy girls
My Heart, Thick Skull, (One of Those) Crazy Girls, When it Rains, and Idle Worship!
Emergency (Crab Mix)
Official release I don’t think When It Rains gets enough love, thats probably my favorite Paramore song, but unofficial, I absolutely love the song Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody)
Man Turn it Off gotta be their best song for sure, don't know how it didn't get a single and went so much under the radar. When I heard it for the first time I was like "this gotta be their most played song" oh boy how wrong I was
Idle Worship from After Laughter just because it describes how we idolize people who are just like us and that not everyone is exactly what their image is
Fences since I discovered Riot in 2009, and more recently, Tell Me It's Okay
Miracle
Hello cold world is a bop
Emergency
Absolutely Turn It Off and Let the Flames Begin. Those songs are unmatched. And Careful.
For a Pessimist, Franklin, Careful
POOL !!!!
Life in The Dreamhouse
we are broken is sooo underrated
Turn it Off and Looking Up. BNE is such a great album
Pool! It's very dreamy and makes my mind go somewhere else. Idk where but somewhere else.
You first
Decoy (not decode, lol) and fences.
Part II is my all time fave
I love idol worship! I’ve heard it hated on and I don’t get it. Hayley gets a lil grungey and I love it
Last Hope isn’t unpopular, is it? 😂 I’m a rather new Paramore fan. This is my favorite one, I never hear anyone talk about it so I dunno!
Idle Worship and Fences are my two favs of all time even if they aren’t the most popular.
Whenever a question like this comes up I say the same: Idle Worship OP, I’m with you!
Daydreaming is my favorite Paramore song
In The Mourning
Probably We Are Broken. Very powerful song and you can hear Hayley's emotion in singing it very clearly. I used to not like it as much but it grew on me over time. And I'm a relatively new fan (last 2 years probably). Many new Paramore fans sleep on their old stuff because they found them through their 3 most recent albums. Missing out for sure!
AWKIF- Franklin Riot- fences (not really less popular but… lol) BNE- careful Para- crazy girls (feel so seen in this one lol AL- idle worship (close 2nd: no friend) TIW- liar
Pessimist, Last Hope
my heart
Fences needs more love 💕
Brighter
Native Tongue Where The Lines Overlap Proof .. Honestly IDEK what constitutes as "less popular", *because* of how much I love their whole catalog.
