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.

There's a band I listened to in high school with a really good song (not really rock though) that heavily sampled the opening riff from Hell's Bells. AC/DC grinds my gears in general, but Hell's Bells still hits for me. I'm like 50/50 on whether I'd still have any appreciation for the song if I hadn't heard that great pseudo-cover.

Isn't Aerosmith a one-hit-wonder? I actually do think Dream On is a good song, but I don't think I've ever heard a single other thing they've done.

“Love in an Elevator,” “Water Song/Janie’s Got a Gun,” the song from Armageddon, the one with Run DMC, “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” “Toys in the Attic,” “Pink,” “Sweet Emotion” all had to have at least hit gold/top 40 given how many times I’ve heard them played ad nauseam during various summer and from teenagers’ bedrooms over the course of my life. Also they have a roller coaster at Disney World.

Please teach me your secret ninja wizard ways of going through life without hearing any Aerosmith.

Dude Looks Like a Lady is horrific and I hate hearing that come on the radio but I had no idea it was Aerosmith. I've heard Jamie's Got a Gun too but not enough to have a reaction, also did not know that was them. I might recognize the others too but not by name and I'm now thinking maybe I'll keep it that way. Dream On is still pretty good though.

Well, we’re all blessed with there not being anymore song from them now that Steve Tyler’s vocal cords exploded on stage a few weeks ago.
