"Classic" songs that you just find incredibly boring

[afronaut]

All Right Now - Free. What a yawn inducing limp dicked performance. Even if the performance wasn't limp dicked, this song would probably only be average 70s boogie rock at best. This song never fails to put me to sleep. Rock n roll shouldn't put you to sleep.

[TurdBerglar]

stairway to heaven


that's an easy one

[hpdrifter]

Awww, I like that song. Say what you will but that solo is awesome.

Most stuff by Pink Floyd

[Otis Driftwood]

Yellow Submarine, Stairway to Heaven, Help

[hpdrifter]

Yeah, I'd probably say a lot of songs by the Beatles.

[saz]

all of the crowd pleasers played on classic rock radio. i love floyd but everything after dark side for me is too prog and has been played to death.

[Drederick Tatum]

anything by the Eagles.

I very rarely listen voluntarily to Led Zeppelin anymore. I sometimes queue up one of their more obscure album tracks, but anything that remotely resembles a single I've heard countless times before.

[Bob]

lynyrd skynyrd - sweet home alabama
def leppard - pour some sugar on me

i also hate sweet home alabama

[Extra Cheese]

sweet home alabama

[Bob]

sweet home alabama is pretty lame, i almost forgot

edit: haha i didn't expect someone to agree with me so soon

[Extra Cheese]

childrens story - slick rick

[Extra Cheese]

sittin on the dock of the bay - otis redding

straight wackness

[adam_f]

Freebird....worse than Sweet Home Alabama.

[Auton]

sittin on the dock of the bay - otis redding

straight wackness

boooo. otis redding is better than your favorite singer.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Let it Be - The Beatles.
Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison.

[Documad]

I doubt that I can come up with an answer better than "Stairway." That really long Peter Frampton song was always guaranteed to make me turn the radio dial though.

I haven't listened to classic rock in such a long time that I find some of the songs listenable again, but probably only for one listen.

[Calimero jr.]

Imagine - John Lennon
Yesterday - The Beatles
and yes, Sweet Home Alabama too (n)

I know opinions are subjective and all, but you're insane on this one.

[Auton]

yeah. seriously.

[Jitters]

Imagine - John Lennon
Yesterday - The Beatles

Your logic makes me sad :(

[Drederick Tatum]

it shouldn't. those two fit the criteria perfectly. classic to the point of corny.

[Extra Cheese]

please, sittin on the dock of the bay is so boring. tragic death but personally, i'm not one for pity praise for a song released after a death. he has so many better songs than that. i'm not hating on him or his music but that song is just wack.

[Bob]

i didn't even know he died, i just like that song

Freebird....worse than Sweet Home Alabama.

i think sweet home alabama is an infinitely worse song, but the fact that freebird is so damn popular makes it a contender, it's more popular than it deserves to be

although sweet home alabama has absolutely no reason to be popular, that song fucking sucks

[Drederick Tatum]

it could do without the sound effects, but Sitting on the Dock of the Bay is about as far from wack as a song can get. it's up there with A Change is Going to Come.

Steve Cropper is awesome.

[roosta]

Tuesdays Gone > Freebird.

I like both though, for the record.

As for boring songs? Yeah, Imagine. I hate that song.

[Auton]

no, you seriously need to be poisoned.

well i find most stuff by phill collins, bruce springsteen, bryan adams and rod stewart boring..

[EN[i]GMA]

Pink Floyd is mostly boring. Some of its ok, but all of it's boring.

yeah, how boring



:confused:


I was referring to "Dock of the Bay."

[saz]

i wasn't replying to you.

[mickill]

A lot of the songs already mentioned don't suck at all. All Right Now really does, though. And Pretty Woman. And Yesterday.

I say:

Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf

Takin Care of Business - BTO

Losing My Religion - REM (and a lot of REM's music in general)

Break On Through To The Other Side - The Doors (and a lot of The Doors' music in general)

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana (they're cool and all, but I could do without hearing this song ever again)

Red Red Wine - UB40 (or jut UB40 period)

It Ain't Hard To Tell - Nas

Ain't No Nigga - Jay-Z

[HEIRESS]

I fucking hate "yesterday" by any artist under the sun

[mickill]

The Fool On The Hill and Lady Madonna are the lamest "classic" Beatles songs ever, though.

[yeahwho]

Isn't the term "Classic" is just a euphemism for "Oldies". The boomer generation fear the reaper.

Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me - Elton John (song is hideous)
After Midnight - Eric Clapton
Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac
Magic Man - Heart
Rock And Roll - Led Zeppelin (Trashed by General Motors Corporation)

Those are some of the most highly rotated songs on "Classic Radio" that come to my mind. It is instant irritation when they come on the radio or the mall or the grocery store or the TV or the karaoke bar or anywhere.

There ought to be a limit law on ear cheese.

[Extra Cheese]

no, you seriously need to be poisoned.


yeah, go die.

Try playing Freebird on Guitar Hero. You'll want to kill yourself.

[BangkokB]

I really hate Phil Collins. Every Tuesday and Thursday I pray that he will be hit by a bus.
Billy Ocean any and all of his trash
Most 80's music that was played on the radio was garbage. To prove this on the last episode on The Soprano's Steven Van Zandt was looking for the 80's song that Tony would listen to before he met his end*(If sound is slower than a bullet) and he tried to no avail. And after all the research he did Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" was as good as it gets. Steven was quoted saying he had no idea that the music of that era was that bad

true say...true say......

1. its wank.

2. its hard.

3. its long.

4. its wank.

[Lyman Zerga]

i really like 'freebird' but most of the time i skip it cause the length can be a pain in the ass so i dont want to know how power willing it must be to finger yourself through the whole song

[Savage Jimmy]

90% of GnR
99.9% Zeppelin some of the instrumental stuff would be bearable if robert plant never opened his fuckin trap.... i cant wait til he dies.
and of course freebird and sweet home alabama.
