8 ball is better than you think!

[Caprice]

8 ball is one of those rare songs where, no matter what, it can bring happiness out of you. its that great of a song. i mean, i was bored with music today in the car and i pop the beach in and everytime, no matter what, when that guitar comes in i feel so great and the world opens up so much more.


Karl, I beg you please! Please some way will you give us the guitar tablature for this song. I wish so much to learn it and my ear isnt that good to learn by ear. Ill pay for them if i have to, but please!

8 ball makes any dark day a very soft and very beautiful grey day

Actually, it's not better than I think, because I already think it's fabulous

It's definitely a track that has a life of its own... away from its artist, so to speak. I always have to keep reminding myself that it's Underworld. Great stuff, indeed!

8 Ball is one of the most amazing tunes of all time.
Its special, very special.

Well, I don't know that I'd use such extravagant praise, but "8 Ball" is really nice. Certainly one of the best songs they made post-1996.

It is the best song ever! No b/s.

[Ninja Power]

Yep - have to agree 100%

It's a pure gem, sublte and beautiful at the same time.

Delicate piano & guitar work - a wonderful R&K collaboration.

i know people like different songs...and thats what all the polls are showing, but seriously do we need a thread about each one...??

i hate 8 ball, but i'm probably in a minority (especially in this thread so far)

i love Jumbo and alot of other tracks, but i can't be arsed to shout about it in a separate thread...

8 Ball is not even 'underated', its a second rate song that featured on a film sound track, it shouldn't even be on the 1992-2002 best of...what did it do to deserve that...?? if they had released it fully then maybe, but as it goes its a just a noodly doodly tune with some whacked out lyrics...and some geetar

it reminds me of the early 1980's and perhaps it should have stayed there, Doot Doot's a better track than 8 Ball...

no b/s

It was, and is, a great, uplifting tune.

I fucking love 8-ball, it's really sweet.

Also I don't think opening a thread just for 8-ball is a bad thing. Personally I think it deserves that, and the track hasn't been discussed a lot on here. And there are thousands of threads on here already, so why not another one.
