SuperBacon Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not including hip hop as I could fill the entire thread, but I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by Arctic Monkeys. Maybe it's an over exposure thing (like Smells Like Teen Spirit and Killing In The Name Of) but even on the album it stands out as poo, and for a band with such a fantastic catalogue, its, well, just shit. Makes me massively cringe as well. The Clash-Rock The Casbah as well. I love it, but even I know it's a shit song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it's a bad song but it's not great and terribly overrated from everything they did. I'd say Night at the opera is an overrated album and not as good as day at the races. We were on a school trip once and queens hits was one of a very small number of cassettes in the van. The fact people didn't let it get past side 1 song 1 genuinely baffled me.

The most irritating of Queen songs. Proud Mary by CCR or by Ike and Tina can also get in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Harrison's "It's All Too Much" is ten times the song "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", further to my earlier point about John Lennon being shit.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue against don't stop me now, it's terribly overplayed but I'd stand by saying it's a great song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Strokes' Last Night is similar for me. Brilliant album, but that song is far from one of the better tracks on there. Chalk me up as another that doesn't rate Bohemian Rhapsody. It's a clever song because it's uniqueness has helped it stand out, but I'm turning that shit over whenever it's on. Anything by RHCP is crap and massively overrated, aside from a couple of early songs. All Saints' version of Under The Bridge is better and I will fight anyone to defend that view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because George Harrison was easily the best Beatle in every way. My Sweet Lord pisses over anything the others have done. Well, except for Ringo's narrating for Thomas.

CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Toploader's version of Dancing In The Moonlight. I can pinpoint the exact moment that I started to lose trust in the general public to the time when I walked past the stage and saw thousands of people clapping their hands in the air and singing along to this song at Glastonbury festival in 2000. I occasionally DJ student nights (or did, before "all this") and it still seems to be popular with the young 'uns even now. Fuck knows why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an awful song, but it immediately takes me to the Four Lions scene in the van whenever I hear it so it gets a pass from me. Cracking up now just thinking about it.
