Most accessible and least accessible songs from your faves? (1 Viewer)

Blatantly stealing this question from reddit, because I thought it was interesting.

• Most accessible would be a song with mass appeal, probably a fan favorite. If you played it for someone, they'll either like it or at worst feel neutral.
• Least accessible could be a song only diehard fans enjoy. Probably not the song you'd use to introduce someone to the band.

I feel like some of the "noise" music groups are going to have very divergent answers on this.

My initial thoughts:

Fifty Fifty:

• Most: Cupid, for obvious reasons. The worst criticism I saw of it was just okay.
• Least: Probably Naughty or Nice or Skittlez, since those are the songs that are the most divergent from their core dreamy, cute, breezy aesthetic, and are less sing-y/vocal heavy than their other songs.

i-dle:

• Most: Probably Tomboy or Hwaa. Those songs have the structure and general style people associate with i-dle, but without the "wtf" lyrics.
• Least: Wife. I am a diehard lover of this song, but I wouldn't use it to introduce someone to the group. It's reserved for after you're already sold on them.

Dreamcatcher:

• Most: Scream. It's classic Dreamcatcher, but it's not too weird, the chorus is easy to sing along to, the guitars are great. Solid all around, easy to get into.
• Least: OOTD. It's probably one of their most divergent from their base sound, and it's easy to misunderstand the intended message of the song.

For most accessible, I'd say Genie. It's the perfect pop song, and it's non-cutesy enough to be enjoyable for non K-Pop fans whereas Gee could be overwhelming in that regard.

For least, probably You Better Run. Hot take considering I Got A Boy exists, but I feel like YBR is even messier. I've never seen someone love it on first listen

Cravity: most accessible would be adrenaline or groovy or party rock. Least accessible would be gas pedal.
Txt: most accessible depends on taste, I'd suggest to anyone to listen to runaway or blue hour but if I knew the person I'm (hypothetically) talking to likes rock i'd go with lovesong. Least accessible is probably sugar rush ride, cant you see me, or puma.

Dreamcatcher
- Most: I need to leave the dark side of K-Pop for this recommendation. Fairytale! This song is like the icing on a strawberry cake, like a bed in the clouds, like a warm hug. I want to live in this song. The chorus is simply heavenly and helps creating an incredibly cozy, but yet powerful, track with an important message: Follow your heart!

- Least: Shatter. I wish Dreamcatcher had the time to continue from there. The mix of ethereal and noisy sounds (and some hauntingly beautiful melody lines) is amazing - but I wouldn't recommend 'Shatter' to introduce Dreamcatcher.

KARDI
- Most: Player 1. You can't go wrong with this banger! I recommended KARDI to an older Rock fan and he bought the 'Inside Out' album. He loves it!

- Least: AMOG. It's a gem but it may be too 'cross-grained' as an entry song to KARDI.
