Classic Rock Songs that just fuckin' suck

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Oh. Don McLean headlined the Maine Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony a few weeks ago. The show was running late and he literally shoved Howie Day ('00s soft rock one hit wonder, perhaps most notable for mackin' on Britney Spears while they were in rehab) so he could start his set. There were roughly 40 people in the 7,000 seat arena for the show.

I can't stand pretty much anthing by AC/DC. They've never done anything for me.

Can I talk about how "Walking in Memphis" sucks?

 

[Red Baron]

Layla is awful. Classic rock stations also ruin this song too.

Eric Clapton can fall off a cliff.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly" was on the classic rock station a few minutes ago. Awful. Why can't we all just collectively agree to ignore post Roger Waters era Pink Floyd? Outside of the choir and pretentious lyrics, the song sounds like it could be an outtake from ZZ Top's Afterburner.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

I like that song.

 

[Incandenza]

I like that song and the album it's from.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

It's a cool song, but have you guys seen the cover art for the new Pink Floyd album? It's really something.

 

[Incandenza]

Could have been used by Dream Theater or Muse.

 

[Alfie]

People were saying the same thing about Muse in reverse.

 

[The Thread Killer]

Not quite classic rock but Don MacLean's "American Pie" is my least favorite song of all time. Fuck you, Don MacLean.

I couldn't agree more. Every time I hear that song I want to smash something with a hammer.

 

[Incandenza]

It's a cool song, but have you guys seen the cover art for the new Pink Floyd album? It's really something.

Listening to this right now. It's basically a new age album with some bluesy solos. It's about what I expected it would sound like.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. There's some rockin' moments on this.

Glad that "American Pie" has gotten the A.V. Club's Official Seal of Suckitude.

Classic Rock Songs that just fuckin' suck

Has "Come Sail Away" (or anything by Styx, really) been raked across the coals yet? I've heard that song incessantly over the past few weeks and each time I hate it a little bit more.

 

[Kinetic]

I always enjoy "Fooling Yourself" whenever I hear it. I'm with you on most of their other stuff, particularly "Lady" and "Babe." "Come Sail Away" is kind of a guilty pleasure, but I definitely wouldn't want to hear it more than a couple times a year.

 

[Precious Roy]

WHY IS THIS PINNED?!!?!

 

[Skywarp!]

So we can update the spreadsheet every time American Pie or Sweet Caroline makes us reach for the station dial?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Don MacLean's in the local news this morning for getting arrested for domestic assault.

 

[Youth N Asia]

In honor of Glenn Frey passing... Witchy Woman is fucking crap.

 

[Conspiracy_Victim]

Anything by The Grateful Dead.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Only mildly related comment since I don't know if any of songs mentioned in this post constitute as classic rock (although I think I've heard at least one of them played on a classic rock station). After getting diagnosed with conjunctivitis this afternoon, the first two songs I heard on the radio were "In Your Eyes" and "Private Eyes"

A friend of mine who DJs at another station says he's going to dedicate Corey Hart's "Sunglasses At Night" to me. 8)

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Really hope you're not trying to imply that "Private Eyes" fuckin' sucks

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Definitely not. Only scenario where it comes remotely close to sucking is if it comes on the radio after you've been diagnosed with pinkeye. Even then it's hilariously ironic!

 

[HarleyQuinn]

Jefferson Airplane "Somebody To Love" is pretty awful and I've never ever been a fan of Bruce Springsteen.

 

[vivisectvi]

You people are mostly heathens.

Anything by The Grateful Dead.

Especially you!

Posting this here so I never forget it again, Rock Queen by Love/Hate

 

[Brocklock]

Not gonna say hate, but Spirit In The Sky went from a song I was fine with to a song I never want to hear again due to many movies it has appeared in over the last twenty years or so. I'm blaming Guardians Of The Galaxy. In just 2016/17 alone it appeared in Suicide Squad, TMNT: Out Of The Shadows, Mr. Right, I Am Not A Serial Killer, The Founder, Life, and I Tonya.

 

[The Amazing Rando]

I despise Blondie's "Rapture" and The Pretenders "Brass In Pocket" for reasons I can't entirely articulate.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Rag Doll has been forever ruined by local radio here.
