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.

You will take my Creedence Clearwater Revival from my cold, dead hands. You're welcome to do whatever you want with Dave Matthews Band and Aerosmith, but I want custody of ZZ-top every other weekend.
Once I listen to Van Halen I'm sure you can have it, but I gotta get around to it first. I'd say the same for Dave Matthews and Aerosmith, but their vibes are just awful.
Now I'd let you have the Stones, but they've been devoured by a pack of wild car commercials before I could get to them.
Guns and Roses though... Is there a way where we get rid of them but still keep Appetite for Destruction?
Also we are going to have to pretend that The Who isn't classic rock because I have fond memories of watching Tommy with my dad and I don't have a lot of those memories. Pinball Wizard is a bop.
Dire straits are completely non-negotiable especially Money for Nothing.

Truth. The Who slaps and David Lee Roth era Halen is great

I feel like Joe Pera whenever I hear Baba O'Reilly

The Who invented smashing stuff as an essential part of rock and that alone earns them a place in my heart. Also Heart fucking rules so much

Even that verse on Money for Nothing?

I dont know what you're talking about, money for nothing has no verses. Just a riff and a chorus
