...and the most overrated song is...:
 
Hero (Foo Fighters) yuck! terrible, overrated song.

followed by Welcome to the Jungle - i always skip right into It's So Easy, Night Train.

I don't know about most overrated, but Stairway is so overplayed I can't listen to it anymore.

MVP 04-26-2007 05:05 PM

Remember...NO STAIRWAY

Black Sabbath - Paranoid


I mean come on, its shit, the band even admitted they wrote it in 5 minutes as filler

Kane Knight 04-26-2007 05:36 PM

The only bad thing about Paranoid is Ozzy. The Stone Coyotes version is pretty awesome.

Then again, almost anything Sabbath did was overrated (because it was Sabbath, and people would hype it as the second effing coming....), so you're probably still right. But shit? Naw.

Stickman 04-26-2007 06:38 PM

Basically anything by Motley Crue and Kiss....not saying it's bad, just overrated.

MVP 04-26-2007 07:02 PM

Spilchuk is gonna rip you a new one

FakeLaser 04-26-2007 07:04 PM

Who rates Motley Crue or Kiss highly?

Don't let my uncle hear you say anything about KISS; he is one of the biggest KISS fans out there. I do like some of their stuff.

The Crue, however, is one of my favs, so that is something I will rate rather highly.

el fregadero 04-26-2007 07:12 PM

Motley Crue is terrible, but Kiss is in a (horribly overrated) league of their own.

They shoulda stopped after like the 5th or 6th album really. I love them for the riffage mainly, never been a fan of Ozzy's vox

weather vane 04-26-2007 07:35 PM

k anybody who thinks Motley is bad is pretty much a fag so I don't care what they say

fags

RP 04-26-2007 07:55 PM

Welcome to the Jungle overrated??? You're insane. That song gets me in a frenzie everytime i here it.

El Vaquero de Infierno 04-26-2007 08:04 PM

all the cheesy-assed Beatles songs that people seem to love.

I hate Ozzy's voice, hate Dio's voice, love Iommi and the rest of the crew. In fact, Iommi and Iommi/Hughes: Fused > Sabbath. For a couple of reasons:
  1. Ozzy appears on one track. Only
  2. Brian Fucking May (On Iommi)
  3. Peter Steele (On Iommi)
  4. Henry Rollins (Again)
  5. Dopamine is a fucking awesome track.
There's a bit of generic metal cheese on the records, butthey're fucking good. That and Iommi is pretty diverse because of the folks he's working with. Skin, Dave Grohl, Peter Steele, Rollins, The guy from System of a Down, etc.

Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit. I can't think of a more overrated song.

Really though, you can't have an overrated song because the simple fact is, people like what they like and have different tastes in music. When it comes down to music, most people don't really care what level of musicianship or technical skill went into the song, because if they did, no one would listen to rap :naughty:

Your nomination just won. PERIOD.

The thing is, though, no band ever is worth the hype some songs and bands get. Nirvana is one, though that's largely because the biggest favor Cobain could do us happened to be the one that would cement their status.

But there are others.

Unfortunatly, some people go so overboard at not liking some things that people think that they should thing someone should be viewed as less of a person if they like something mainstream, or people think that they will be looked down upon when they like something that many people think are "sell-outs" or whatnot.

Or even big bands. Fuck's sake, that's annoying.

Sweet Child O Mine

Hate that fucking song.

Londoner 04-29-2007 02:30 PM

Killerwolf- Listen to welcome to the jungle live, then you'll understand.

Diesel Mac- Can understand where you're coming there amazingly, but again, its better live.

Kane Knight 04-29-2007 02:46 PM

Better live still = overrated.

Zen v.W.o. 04-29-2007 03:21 PM

I know, im just saying that if a song is made better live its more likely to seem overrated.

D Mac 04-29-2007 09:50 PM

Which is exactly the thing. I'm sure somewhere out there, is the worst song in existence, and it still sounds better live...
