Pink: The Discography Rate ∞ WINNER!

What? Not "My Vietnam" out of all the songs...
That's one of the songs that I consider among the absolute highs of "M!ssundaztood".
It's one of those 11/10 P!nk songs to me, just brilliant.
I had no idea it was going to leave so early... so underrated.

My Vietnam is the least bad song of the album's latter half. "Eventually" should have gone already.
Imagine thinking that the latter half of "M!ssundaztood" is bad in any way (okay, except for "Misery").
And "Eventually" is literally the best thing about the latter half of the album.
 
I have to admit that while I absolute loathed Just Give Me A Reason during its radio reign of terror and was fully ready to tank it here, listening to it a few years later it's not that bad. Nothing special either, but it's a solid 6.
 
"My Vietnam" is actually a great example of how P!nk and Linda wrote songs together.
P!nk constantly sang the line 'this is my Vietnam' and they made a song out of it.
It's an endearing little story - here's the video of Linda explaining it:


Thanks @nikkysan, @Sanctuary, @savilizabeths, @sapnu puas, @rick and other high scorers for showing taste and recognizing this wonder of a song.


As for "Mean", I consider it one of the weakest links on "Funhouse" (along with "Crystal Ball"). However, the song isn't a filler and I think I underscored it a bit. Her raspy voice sounds amazing.
Nooooooo. Mean is Pink at her best. She said in an interview it was the first song she wrote for the album whilst still with Carey.

Apparently they were out camping with friends and they started jamming and she just straight outburst of the gate started to moan about Carey through the song with Carey there. I don’t know where the interview that was from.
I remember watchimg her talk and say that about the song, it's a really nice story. It's definitely some interview from 2008 or 2009, but I can't seem to find it now.
Tomorrow we’ll be dropping two of her most melancholic songs.
Crap.
P!nk + melancholy = 10 to me in most cases, so I'm expecting some huge loss.
I'm actually getting scared for my 11. Speaking of which, when are we losing our first 11?
 
'My Vietnam' has one of the best instrumentals, ever. I love the wind blowing and guitar strums and what sounds like soldiers stomping (?).

'Mean' is another track that has grown on me over the years, but it's just nice. It's not anything I go out my way to listen to.
 
A two and a four gone for me is a good day in a Pink Rate. That said, the eleven talks is a worry, I've been the first eleven loser in several rates recently, and my pick is pretty obscure and a track which I have no idea how it is received generally.
 
This sudden suspension makes it seem like my 11 is leaving very soon...
