Massively over-rated songs

[Bergen]

Through the Barricades - Spandau Ballet.

[O Superman]

I've always had an irrational hatred of Tainted Love by Soft Cell. Don't really know why, just found it really irritating and I still do.

Their version or do you hate the original as well?

I knew it wasn't original but no, it's just their version that winds me up.

[KC & sunshine band]

stand up for the orient
especially when I've just sat down !

Do other soft cell tunes irritate you as well ?

Jamaican Holiday by 10CC. Any song that mentions cricket is over rated.

Too clever for this place

Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen
Everything I do I do it for you. Bryan Adams
Anything by U2.

FFS! 3 times this year I’ve agreed with Bera. This is becoming terrifying.

[O my gawd]

Rockin all over the world . Pah

[O my gawd]

Bohemian Rhapsody
Baker Street

I dont ever like it when we lose

La la la la oi.

Stand Up for the Orient is discriminatory against those with bad knees like me, others who find it difficult and the disabled fans by West Stand

[Rich Tea Wellin]

One of the only artists I’ve failed to understand the appeal of is Bruce Springsteen.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Have recently bought a new turntable so to celebrate I bought Carole King's "Tapestry"-thought my wife would enjoy it -together with a double Joe Bonamassa album (vinyls). I had heard of Tapestry being a classic but god was it boring-my wife said she preferred Joe B, that's how boring it was.

Ridiculous.

[one o in huntingdon]

I'm Not In Love -10cc Like a funeral dirge

Stairway To heaven-Led Zep Just an ok rock song

Anything by Paul Weller

[Chicken Dhansak]

[Scuba Diver]

Agree. Embarrassingly bad

John Lennon - Imagine - mawkish slop

Absolutely right Wumble, his Born in the USA gives me a severe headache.

I'm afraid I'm going to agree. Lyrically it's good stuff, musically I don't get it.

I don't agree, Thunder Road and Jungleland are my two favourites of his

It's a bit Meatloafish.

No. Why do you ask?
The question was about over-rated songs, not artists.
But I don't have any particular problem with Soft Cell, Marc Almond or anything else about him / them if that's what you are getting at.

Tbf I don’t know much of his stuff and should explore it but it all sounds really middle of the road and unexciting

Not really but kind of .

For example
I love Chrissie Hinds Voice
But really only love 1 of the songs she sung .

Wheras i hated Dylans whiney drawl
But his songs are pretty damn great
when covered by better singers .

Hope that explains the question
