Most Overrated Song Of All Time?

Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix.
Not a big fan of Hendrix, and i know so many people who are always sayin "oh yeah, i love Jimi Hendrix, Purple Haze is my favorite song"
It's the first song that comes to most people's minds when they think of him, imo.

 

No kiss is good.

 

dude, I'm readding you to my AIM - trust me, we gotta have a talk


(don't worry, Purple Haze will stay out of the convo =)

 

So agree! If there is one song by Queen that I despise then it's that one.

 

oh yeah, The Beatles - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.. don't particularly think it's one of the beatles better songs, it's only so popular because of the title

 

It's ok, people just play it ALL THE FUCKING TIME!!! At thi spoint I'm sick of it and Bohemian Rhapsody too...

 

"She Loves You"
"I Can't Get No Satisfaction"
"Bohemian Rhapsody"
"A Whiter Shade of Pale"
"My Generation"

are all Classic Songs ~ Not Over-Rated ~ Just Over-Played
i.e. How often do you hear

"And your Bird can Sing"
"Little Red Rooster"
"Love of my life"
"Conquistador"
"Join together

all are equally good yet not played as much

= Well that's my theory

< Peace+Love~Save the Planet> +

 

I think its one of their better songs personally, I like it. Now I'd have to say anything from the Rolling Stones sucks.

 

ouch, even gimme shelter? i love that song. then again i'm english maybe liking the stones is built into my DNA lol

my most over-rated song is that one with aerosmith and run DMC i forget the name. most songs by aerosmith annoy me cos they always push the bass to the bottom of the mix and bring the wocals up, but this one really gets me goat its ALWAYS being played.

actually that probably doesnt count as a rock and roll song but i still hate it.

 

Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Classic my ass.

 

"I'm to sexy for my shirt" by Right said Fred. Disgusting!

 

^ I didn't know anyone took that song seriously =S

 

It's still gettin' air, even today... I recently heard it again SEVERAL TIMES on the radio.

 

O.K. here's a better one. "Cocaine" Clapton. Once, during the peak of its popularity, I had a paid audition at a club in Colorado Springs where the owners of the club, in the middle of the audition, demand we play "Cocaine". I said " We don't play requests" and gave the soundman the thumbs up on the board as we launched into our "Rush" set. They threatened not to pay and Needless to say we didn't get the gig, but we rocked the house that nite!(Got paid too!)Ah, the good old days......

 

I think people play Nickelback too much. It sucks having to hear their songs every time i go to the bar.

 

This is from a little farther back, but I agree: KISS just should not be as famous as they are, they've got like less than 10 ACTUALLY famous songs, and maybe 3 are good. They're like the number 3 most record selling band, for what??
And adding to that, Rock and Roll All Nite, it's just not that great.

And Guns N' Roses, good band don't get me wrong, Slash is a great guitarist, but EVERYONE plays they're 5-ish famous songs, ALL THE TIME.

 

I dont like anything by Led Zepplin. To the people who said The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, you are out of your mind.

 

Another reason why I don't go to bars.

 

Well The Beatles aren't the best, but they're good... Now Led Zep is 1000x better than The Rolling Stones.

 

Man these are some of my fav bands ever led zep the beatles wow... didn 't think i would hear them being bashed in here lol.... hmmm overrated.... well i have to say .... Def Leppard .... Guns N Roses ... Kiss ...
