    Default Rock "classics" you can't stand

    Have we done this before? Feels familiar. Anyway, here's two songs
    that I am really sick of hearing:

    Poke Salad Annie
    Mustang Sally

    God! These really aren't that good.

    I've never been partial to much Bob Seeger. "Like a Rock", "Against the Wind", "Old Time Rock and Roll". Meh.

    Old Time Rock and Roll is really sad.

    Is "Eye of the Tiger" from that Rocky movie considered a classic? Because I can't stand it. It's on Rock Band or one of those video games.

    Yeah it's a terrible song and yeah I think I played it on Rock Band or Guitar Hero or some such.

    Status Quo - Rockin' All Over The World

    Or anything else by SQ

    Agree with Mustang Sally - crap!
    Also "Eye Of The Tiger"
    Never heard of the rest mentioned above.

    Anything by Rush, but especially Tom Sawyer and Limelight.

    I hate it now.

    Way over used by filmmakers to establish a scene.

    Rush is an amazing band and Whiter Shade of Pale is an awesome song and you're all awful people for disagreeing.

    I can't stand anything done by AC/DC, and also "Bad to the Bone". I don't know if any one that counts as classic rock though.

    YES. THIS. And yeah, it counts.

    Also, I could never really get into Queen. I like "Bohemian Rhapsody" as much as the next guy, but all their other songs kind of fall flat for me.

    That one is only good if you're drunkenly playing Rock Band.

    Oh, no, I really like that Bon Jovi song. Can we agree that "You Give Love a Bad Name" is worse?

    Hey, I kinda like that song.

    Also I'm not super into Queen, but do you really not like "Killer Queen"?

    It's not that I can't stand the following two songs, it's just that I think they're overrated.

    I love the Talking Heads, and, by far, my least favorite of their songs is Burning Down the House.

    Livewise, I love Devo, and am pretty much done with Whip It.

    As long as you still like "Once In A Lifetime" we're still cool.

    I don't know any of their other songs. That one is freaking awesome, though.

    When a problem comes along
    You must whip it.

    Anything by Pink Floyd.

    Anything by Queen.

    And I ain't all that hot on the Beatles' later stuff. I think "Paperback Writer" was the last song they did that was worth listening to.
