Classic rock hate thread (hexbear.net)

I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.

The Beatles. I actually love a lot of their B sides and early material, but I think I’ve just been over-exposed to their “main” catalogue. Although, truth be told, I could probably say the same for almost any classic rock band, except for maybe CCR. Classic rock bands just get over-hyped as the most amazing band in the world, but when you don’t feel the same, it ends up creating a huge disconnect.

There used to be a pub near my house with the entire White Album on the digital jukebox thing they had.

I used to request Revolution 9 every single time when I'm walking past or leaving the pub.

It took them 4 months to remove it from the system.

The only album of theirs I really like is Rubber Soul, the rest is mostly overrated.

The Beatles aren't overrated, what are you talking about? They were pivotal in shaping large amounts of both modern music and the modern music industry.
Just say you don't like them lmao

I don't like them at all and they're overrated as well.

We have a lot in common, but sadly you're going to have to kill my current best friend to take his place (its Paul McCartney)

They were hardly the only band experimenting with their sound at the time, especially their later albums. They are not bad albums, I do find them enjoyable (apart for the often too silly lyrics). Though the influence on the music industry is indeed undeniable.

I must however admit to disliking "psychedelic" music, be it pop or rock.

I used to feel like Rubber Soul was their best album, and their later albums were overrated.

Then I stopped listening to them for a long long time. And after revisiting their discography I’ve come to appreciate Abbey Road more and more.

Even Magical Mystery Tour that I hated I kinda like now tbh.

I still hate Sgt. Pepper’s tho.
