Bohemian Rhapsody. Hated it on first hearing, still hate it.
Star Spangled Banner
Do They Know It's Christmas
Creep - Radiohead
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
We know with great precision what they are now.
At least its twin the alphabet song is actually quite useful to have memorized.
Saying this would go so hard in elementary school
Everything Beyonce has done.
the us national anthem.
No no, keep that one. They wrote it about us bombing the living hell out of their stuff. It would be better if it mentioned the arson.
Nothing Else Matters
A little bit of Erica by my sideβ¦
A little bit of Monica in my life...
Hey Jude.
I fucking hate it.
I always sing Hey Dude by Beatallica instead. Love that version lol
ok. story time. Had this friend of friend in highschool. Super stoner idiot type which was kinda funny because he hung out with our nerd group regularly (burnout/nerd crossover was surprisingly not uncommon). We are at a pizza hut with a jute box. Guy goes and puts some money in and is like. Oh man I saw this sound that sounds so cool. Hey Dude. He was very disapointed.
jute box
Bone apple tea!
For me, pretty much all of Bob Dylan's production. I know he's supposed to be a Nobel-Prize-winning genius singer and songwriter, and everybody is in total awe of his talent, but... honestly, I've seen people sing better and play the guitar better in the metro.
I don't dislike Bob Dylan, and his lyrics were a powerful product of his time. But he's always seems very meh to me as a musician. I just don't get the hype.
You should dislike Bob Dylan he is super annoying
He was important for the time when songs were political statements, not just money grabs like today. Don't wait for a Taylor Swift "Fuck ICE" song anytime soon.
But I hate how Boomer music is rammed down our throats and are told we have to love it. Fuck the Beatles.
Donβt wait for a Taylor Swift βFuck ICEβ song anytime soon
Taylor Swift is a billionaire. She's in the club. She's not gonna shit the bed π
Bob Dylans entire thing is that he can't sing and he knows it.
Hes talked many times about how ridiculous it felt for him to be grouped with some of the greatest singers of all time when he was at award shows or other music stuff.
Just look at his expression in the We Are The World music video:
Folk music is not about singing or the tune, it's just poetry to music.
Bob Dylan was loved for his song writing. People didn't love his voice or his playing, but they loved hearing him in spite of his voice because his songs meant so much.
The most popular versions of his songs were often recorded by other folk groups.
Ah. The Steve Miller effect.
For him I think it was right time right place. How many bands/musicians could be transplanted to another time and still have success with the same music? Very few.
Barbie girl from Aqua & Wannabe from Spicegirls. Meme songs before it was a thing.
i feel like lovefool from the cardigans should have been on that list
Smells like teen spirit is one of those songs that you simply don't listen to in your own time even if you're a big Nirvana fan. If you listen to Nevermind, you start on track 2.
Actually in its time probably KKKanye WeSSt (feat. Jay-Z, RicKKK RoΟΟ, NicKKKi Minaj & Bon Iver) β MonSSter
There are just unsalvageable bars in here. People were unironically listening to this with their future wives
Guilty. The song did age horrendously, though
Satisfaction
The devo cover is something else though.
Bohemian Rhapsody. All fluff, no substance.
Platypus: Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Queen fans: Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
Yeah, it's very contrived. I've lost friends for sharing this opinion as well.
Mamma mia..mamma mia...
Anything by Elvis Costello. Can't stand that wanker's music. Like 2 out of 5 for any of his songs would be horribly overrated to me.
KKKroSSby, SStills, Nash, & Young β Ohio
Absolute ass
Wait why the ss reference with Crosby & co?
I always interpreted Ohio as an anti fascist protest song.
Stairway to Heaven
No Stairway. Denied!
Also RammSStein is just awful and embarrassing goonslop pick any song
I mean, when I saw them the singer had a strap-on flamethrower and later spanked the keyboardistβs bare ass with a jizzing dildo. I donβt think theyβre unaware they have a gooner theme.
