"Classic" rock songs you absolutely can't stand

[hemihead]

Well, My #1 on the list has to be THE most overrated, no talent band on the planet EVER- The Beatles.Followed closely by any other no talent
band played by pop music stations.Any band that plays just to earn a buck should live in poverity for the rest of their lives.
At least the members of Zep cared about artist value.God I Hate Yuppies!

Lightfoot is actually doing some touring and I think this will be the last chance to see him live....

I saw him in concert about 16 years ago.  He played on Earth-day at MSU when I went to school there.  My wife and I were dating at the time.  Awsome show, he played a pile of requests and his oncore was just him and his 12 string.  It was really good.  My wife saw him again about 5 years ago (I had to work).  Last I heard his health wasn't so good.  If he hits Detroit I will definitely go see him.

Rush is great too.  I have been on a Rush kick lately "Closer to the Heart" and "Fly by Night" I have played once a day for about a week, lol.

I'll probably get blasted for this but I've never understood all the hype over Led Zepplin. I've only ever liked a few of their songs and by "like" I really mean "tolerate." Janis Joplin is another and for the life of me I just can't make myself enjoy anything by Jimmy Hendrix. Never really cared for The Doors either. Don't like Elton John. Never even got excited about The Beatles or The Stones or Aerosmith. I do like a lot of what they call Southern rock such as Skynard, ZZ TOP, Allman Bros. and 38 Special among others.

Except, I like a dozen or so songs each by Elton John & .38 Special.

"Roxanne" by the Police. It still boggles my mind that people paid money for that.

i cringe when i hear freebird,sweet home alabama,and the grateful dead

song: 'paradise by the dashbord lights' from Meatlove. I makes me wanna trash something. Or some-one.

Group: Also can't stand U2, Sting, Santana (can't stand electric guitar) and other bone heads.

OK, now I am some turt 

I just can't stand stevie nicks' "I'm gettin raped by a goat" voice.

And I love Kiss! BUT, I have to agree on the overkill playing of "Rock And Roll All Night. I hate the song now and I used to like it. 

U2 also blows chunks

[4cruzin]

Well I'm lucky when it comes to radio stations as I get all the Detroit and all the Lansing stations so I have about 7 stations to choose from when it comes to classic rock!!   But the group that just makes me cringe is The Cars . . . just can't seem to change that station fast enough.   lol   They played the sh!t out of that song . . . My best friends girlfriend!   Yuck!  

That pic with Getty Lee is sweet. I'm a huge RUSH fan too!   Hope they come to Detroit again soon!     

[ChargerBill]

The Beatles really get on my nerves too...I think there are like 5 songs that I can stomach and the rest make me want to put my head in the oven.

I'm a product of the 80's, so I personally like The Police and U2....

[71bee]

I too am a previous dweller of 80'sville. but I like it a bit more VIOLENT! give me some ol' school Metallica, Slayer and some killer Coroner. you can have all the old bands that you folks have mentioned, I'm sick of every single one of 'em!!!!

[derailed]

Funny thing with me about the beattles is I can somewhat tolerate there stuff when they are solo but when they are together as the beattles it makes me want to jump out of the car

Sheesh, why don't you two start up a band and show the Fab Four how it's done?  Most folks are kinda sick of their songs, or maybe never liked them to start with, but "no talent"?  C'mon.

Ya gotta remember, they started out in the early '60's, that's over 40 years ago (I did the math so you wouldn't have to).  Their stuff was cutting edge back then.  Cripes, take a look at most of the culture from the early 60's compared to now, it's lame as hell.  But John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison have to be a few of the most talented musicians to come along.

By the way, Hemi, what do YOU do to make a buck?

[derailed]

I never liked there sound, actually i hate it. Like I said I can tolerate some solo Paul McCartney and Lennon stuff but as far as Beatles go  but thats only my opinion

[derailed]

Hey OC,

Have you ever heard Fleetwood Mac before Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks? It's a completely different band, & the even earlier stuff was almost all blues & actually very good. I was shocked to hear it after so many years of the top 40 sounds they did later on.

Its funny you mentioned that Old Mopars, Im a big Dave Mason and Bob Welsh fan

[Chryco Psycho]

All Beetles crap ,definatly no talent ,90% of their stuff has Violins & an orchestra ... who played the orchestra
All Neil Young crap, couldn`t hit a note with a nuke bomb
All Boob Dylan Crap , no talent
those 3 get me changing staions everytime   
     

4 Cruzin definatly has the stations !!!

[derailed]

All Neil Young crap, couldn`t hit a note with a nuke bomb

I like that one

[Chryco Psycho]

adding to the list
Janis Joplin
Bryan Adams summer of 69 .. gag , I was giving th ealbum & swore I would not open it until I quit hearing it on the radio Everyday , the album is still sealed & froever will be
Peter frampton is also over played to death &
I Hate meatloafer

[skip68]

Janis Joplin, AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Led Zepplin, ect, Had no real vocal talent even though some songs were not that bad. But back then it wasn't about vocal skill, it was drugs, freedom, and a storytelling... My favorite song to hate is STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!                                             O.K. You can spank me now....CHUCK...

[monty76]

What kills me is that Guns and Roses is starting to pop-up on the oldies stations. Me thinks I'm getting elderly

[skip68]

Yep, I know what you mean. I've noticed that some of the songs from the 80's are now on some classic rock stations. Man! I be old toooooooooooooooooo. Chuck.

[Lowprofile]

Some good choices on here guys...... Here's the few I could live without

Led Zepplin         Without a doubt, the most overrated band EVER!
Pink Floyd            Can you say    " Pass the Bong, Dude"   Booring!
Moody Blues      
Beatles                      Whatever, I'm over it.

Styx                      I like the song "Snowblind" But Dennis DeYoung faged them right out.
The Strolling Bones      
Bob Dillion          He might be a good writer, but who the fuck told him he could sing.

[skip68]

I think it was Janis Joplin that told Bob Dylan "Hey man, you can really sing"Far out! Or maybe it was Forrest, Forrest Gu-ump CHUCK.............

Mini-KISS

Its not really classic rock, but it makes me want to do something anti-social.
Masically "Little people" singing (murdering) kiss.
I dont have anything against them, but the only thing worse than hearing Rock and roll all nite hundreds of times is hearing it in a high pitched chipmunk voice.

Dont get me wrong, I love KISS, my two favourite songs would have to be "God of thunder" and "let me go, rock 'N roll"

[TruckDriver]

Funny thing with me about the beattles is I can somewhat tolerate there stuff when they are solo but when they are together as the beattles it makes me want to jump out of the car

Although, "Back in the USSR", & "Help" are ok.

I love KISS, my two favourite songs would have to be "God of thunder" and "let me go, rock 'N roll"

"Destroyer" is still there best album period. But "R&R All Night" and "Beth" got sickning cause of radio stations that love to over play songs. Kiss is the 1st rock band I ever liked, but I personally think they were better in the '80s. And once the reunion tour eneded with Peter Criss, I think they should of took the makeup off again as that got old ecspecially because we all now know what they look like. I also love Ace Frehley's solo stuff a LOT! I have all his cds

[Neal_J]

Never liked or understood Dylan.  Some worship him but I can't figure out why.  It certainly can't be attibutable to talent.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Guys,

There is no better KISS song than Black Diamond.

My brother is/was hardcore Kiss fan.

We saw them in 82, then we saw them in their first reunion tour in 1998. Then we saw them on the Psycho Circus tour. Then the tour they did with Skid Row and Nugent. Last time was with Aerosmith.

I am KISSED out.

[Andrew]

Black dimond is bloody marvelous, but I have a video of them on ABC in concert in 1974.
That version of "Nothin to lose" is bloody marvelous"

[Charger_Fan]

Sadly, I've never seen KISS in concert. Maybe one day.


So I'm wondering...if there's so many here who detest "Stairway to Heaven" or just Zeppelin in general (me included), CERTAINLY there's more people in the general populous that feel the same way, right?
SO WHY THE HELL DO THEY CONTINUE TO PLAY IT ON THE RADIO???

I don't get it.
