Weeeelll??

The re-released "candle in the wind song" by Elton John for Diana Princess of wales

Sweet Home Alabama.

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zep
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Both bands are definitely awesome, but they did much better stuff.

the Numa Numa song :p jk

Oh yeah, and anything by Oasis.

Stairway To Heaven, Another Brick In The Wall, and Smells Like Teen Spirit.

The Star-Spangled Banner.

Too bombastic. And why must it always be sung by wailing Whitney's or Lee-Anne's?

"Bombs bursting in air". Ugh.

U2 (highly overrated)
Anything by Blink 182 and their ilk (pop/emo punk).
Most of Linkin Park.
Creed (makes me shudder just thinking about their lack of talent, and how many records they've sold considering.)
I could go on and on and on, I'm kind of a music elitist.
Granted none of these are specific songs just bands/genres I don't like.

Anything by the Rolling Stones

Anything by the Rolling Stones

Them too.

"I will always love you" by Whitney Houston

American Pie.

usher songs. but damn, he can dance.

NOT Bohemian Rhapsody

NOT Bohemian Rhapsody

impossible to overrate it.

OMG FLAME

Oh noooo!


Wanker :p

OMG FLAME
what?

John Lennon - Imagine. It's not a pro-peace song, it's a pro-anarchy song.
Umbop (or however it's spelled) - Hanson/LP
Most Queen stuff.
Opera - wow you can sing high....for a long time...but please it doesn't take 10min to tell us you're going to kill yourself.
Anything by Westlife...or most boy bands for that matter.

Umbop (or however it's spelled) - Hanson/LP
OI! :upyours:








:fluffle:

In the first pic of LP/s with the cup on his head, he kind of looks like Zach Hanson. Haha!

:( I don't think I like you anymore

But you're very cute, LP! :(

michael jackson is overrated,even if he can dance

I'm as cute as Zach Friggin' Hanson :(

No, you are cuter. :fluffle:

And I don't look like him at all? :)

Of course not. :)

I'm joking...oh wait confused you with another forum...there's a guy who everyone calls Hanson. My apologies. You are just handsome.

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. Saying anything good about this song is somewhat akin to: "Well, the plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean, and everyone died. On the bright side, now there's a new coral reef forming on it!"

Why Leonard Nimoy agreed to do that will forever be a mystery.

Huzzah! :fluffle:

yeah... right
*eyes Randomea suspiciously*

Anything by "nirvana."

Yay! A new coral reef!

Any ABBA song. Especially Waterloo. God, I hate ABBA. Although if it weren't for them, there would never have been that brilliant Not The Nine O'Clock News spoof of...erm...that's bad, I can't remember what it's called... And I agree with whoever it was who said any boy band songs.

yeah... right

Anything by Nirvana.

:fluffle: Because I'm drunk and I can't be bothered right now
Yey! :fluffle:

Tori Amos

Tori Amos

That's not a song.

Yey! :fluffle:
:eek:

I just rediscovered that you are a pirate :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

whoever has said that Nirvana is overrated deserves to be disemboweled, roasted over an open flame and eaten by shrews with digestive problems.

That's not a song.

Neither are what she sings. :) Sorry, I hear her and cringe so I've not gotten into the song titling. I plead forgiveness. -smirks-

Ice Ice Babeh

Ice Ice Babeh

Someone dared to rate that song in the first place?

Oh yeah, "We Are The Champions" by Queen.

Possibly one of their worst songs, yet one of their most famous. Stupid.

Anything by Jet. They just rip off other bands. :rolleyes:

Anything by "nirvana."

I have to agree what is with the Nirvana hate?
Eh, New Granada is probably just some pubesent still in love with Brittany Beers or her ilk; maybe even thinks Korn is a hardcore band.

Stairway to heaven

I did today hear a cool insturmental (like orchestaral instrumental) version today, but I am thouroughly unimpressed with the origional

You've never heard the original, or at least the original with sound quality. Think about it... Its old, and it went from records(48s or whatever) to 8-track to tape casset to CD. Best to hear someone experianced play it live.

Freaking young punks don't even deserve the title punk.

but there just something twistedly charming about hearing a gay pride song chanted at highschool football games all across america.

LIKE HELL!

I haven't bothered to read the whole thread, but has anyone mentioned Freebird and Staiway to Heaven? I don't really dislike either song, but both bands have much better stuff.

Repeatedly.

you don't get a warm fuzzy feeling hearing all those jocks, hicks and rednecks belting out freddie's ode to queer empowerment.

:confused:
I was agreeing with you...

anything by Celine Dion, especially the theme from "Titanic"! :mp5:

:confused:

oh sorry i was confused... heck i'm usually confused... and i haven't even been attempting to be in character tonight... i'm slipping... its giving up ephedrine my loose and careless grip on sanity is slipping.

You mean Stairway to Heaven? Older songs on CD are usually remastered now. They're better now then they were on record. But if a band is worth their salt then their music will always sound better live.

The people that list Stairway to Heaven as THE most overrated song ever make me weep. It's such a good song. I won't comment on the lyrics themselves (marijuana does that to some people, give them a break), but as a whole the song can stand on its own. The people that list Smells Like Teen Spirit as the most overrated song ever make me wonder if they're jumping on a bandwagon. Nirvana might not have the most complex songs, but they had heart, and that counts for something.

The most overrated song is... Mrs. O'Leary's Cow. O Baterista gets nomninated for a Grammy and damn Brian Wilson has to go and release an album named Smile. There's no justice. If Neil Peart wasn't such a kind and forgiving god he'd smite Wilson where he stands.

Killer Queen. Most overrated song ever :D

I kid, I kid. Killer Queen is actually one of their best songs, imo

Bohemian Rhapsody gets blown up a lot. It's good, yeah, if any other band did it as well as Queen, it may very well be their best song, but I think there are other songs that better define Queen. Killer Queen is one of those songs. We are the Champions/We will rock you... those two (three) songs all are a bit overrated. Again, not a good sample of what a good Queen song can sound like.


But Queen aside...

Sweet Home Alabama. This song gets blown up a LOT. It's got that classic Southern Rock sound, and I love it, but it's way too popular for what it is. Singing Sweet Home Alabama in Ohio just doesn't make freaking sense. I've also heard people say that Sweet Home Alabama was Skynard's best song. ****** please...


Edit: Neil Peart is a freaking magician on drums.

i am laughing so hard at the post above i am crying.

but really. i heard something on the radio the other day by tim mcgraw and nelly that i believe is the most overrated song because playing one frigging time overrates it, never mind actually having the nerve to put it on the radio.

Unfortunately, it would have to be a song like "Stairway to Heaven", "Sweet Home Alabama", "Bohemian Rhapsody", or a similarly mega-famous song, simply because they're the only songs really rated highly enough to be "overrated". That said, I'd say "Stairway to Heaven" is the most overrated song, because it's held up by a lot of people as the greatest rock and roll song ever, and I don't think it's even Zep's best song.

whoever has said that Nirvana is overrated deserves to be disemboweled, roasted over an open flame and eaten by shrews with digestive problems.

I voted for both of them. It's not that those songs aren't good and the bands awesome...but both bands did way better songs. StH and SLTS are both overrated. They're good, but overrated.

Killer Queen/s. :eek:
Stairway to heaven
Usher-just shoot him :mp5:
Smells like Tenn spirit
Snappy the Crocodille song

Another Brick In The Wall
So sorry, but I don't think that Pink Floyd is capable of being overrated.

Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. Basically three notes played over and over. Sheer genius.

Anything sung by Eminem. Or "Smells like teen spirit"

It would have to be something by the Beatles or Elvis.

La-la by Ashley Simpson :sniper:
