Most Overrated Song of All Time

A song that is consistantly held up as one of the greatest of all time, but sucks (in your opinion).

I have two.

Stairway to Heaven and Free Bird

How about you?

Ha! I've always hated Stairway to Heaven. And don't even get me started on Hotel California

I would have to say anything released by Aerosmith later than, say...1980. I never understood how any of their recent stuff could have become so popular. I'm sure some in the office here will disagree, given how popular they became, but extremely mediocre in my view, especially the lyrics. But Steven Tyler does indeed have a decent looking daughter, so I'll give him that....

What about Love in an Elevator ? I'll admit, the lyrics are super cheesy, but its a catchy lil' tune. Ha ha (you know its gonna be stuck in your head all day now)

Another one: I'd have to say Guns 'N Roses is the most overrated band of all time. At least they were back in the early 90s when they were (for some reason) popular.

How about some Def Leppard pour some sugar on me

Forgot about that one. Actually, I think that is the winner - don't believe I can think of any song that annoyed me more......

No way!! That song is SOO much fun in concert! (And, yes, I've seen them in concert)

Hector i think you just lost a man card! Hand it over!

Not sure if they make the all time cut but the 'White Stripes' are very overrated.
