The title says it all really.

I have a few.

Oasis - Wonderwall (I always preferred 'Champagne Supernova')
Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer
Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh
Metallica - Enter Sandman

I'm sure there's way more, but you guys can have a turn. :lol:

I'll probably be severly chastised for this, but:

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones.

Consistently finishes in the top 10 of all time greatest songs - can't understand why.... :?

Agreed, RS have some great songs and people always go for that pop song as their best. I don't get it

Anything P!nk...

Listening to the top 100 countdown a couple of years ago, she had about 5 or 6 in that 100...about 2 or 3 of them in the top 20...

Does my head in!

I'm not a fan of the majority of their work, to be honest. Mick Jagger seems like a twat.

Anything by TRAIN......FFS that Hey Soul Sister song or San Francisco song ....ANYTHING!!! Rather listen to 2 feral cats outside F&&&ing!!!! :twisted:

Always thought THE DOORS were incredibly overrated too....I know DOORS fans will "go off" at me but seriously a band without a bass guitarist and totally self indulgent lyrics don't do it for me......some of their songs are passable. (Did enjoy the movie though)

:evil:

Have to disagree with you on the Doors, although I will say some songs are over rated. Remember, it helps to be on a substance to make it more enjoyable.

Sweet child o mine is under rated I reckon. Great intro, great solo.

Agree with imagine though.

Overplayed, lyrics don't make sense, Cobains voice is average, not even their best song

I love Nirvana and I agree that Smells Like Teen Spirit is not there best song I don't think it's overrated. It was huge and was the start of something massive in the early 90s.
