I lived in Boston for 7 years. 3 of them were right next door to Fenway, where they played it in the 7th inning stretch of every Boston Red Sox game, 81 games a year.

Not to mention without fail in every Boston bar around 1 AM.

I hate that song with a passion.

Lose Yourself by Eminem.

[Kumorii]

Probably bohemian rhapsody. Not because it's a bad song, I like it. But the way people behave around the song is over the top adoration that I never understand.

Wham - Last Chrismas. Just stop playing it. Full Stop.

[MCMLXXXII]

Wham - Last Chrismas. Just stop playing it. Full Stop.

Fun fact: the song's original name was Last easter

There's nothing fun about that, just unearth George Michael's corpse and put him to trial at Den Haag.

[rogoth]

anything released in the last decade probably.

Everything people have picked so far are great songs that just got way overplayed. Unfortunately a fate that befalls many extremely popular songs. I don't know if that makes them "overrated" though. Just overexposed.

For my choice, I'm going to pick something by an artist I generally like, since it's easy to pick someone I don't like and call out any number of their shitty songs, but that wouldn't be fair. That's just personal taste. Going by Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs, Imagine by John Lennon comes in at number 3. I like the Beatles a ton. I like many of John Lennon's songs with the Beatles. Imagine is an okay song. A bit of a hippy anthem and I do enjoy it from time to time, but it is rather boring, especially on repeated listens. It doesn't belong anywhere near a list of even the top 100 songs, let alone being rated at #3.

Imagine by John Lennon is the most overrated song.

[Donald Hellscream]

Any song that get played in pubs and bars 30+ times a night.

[PACOX]

Overused =/= overrated

Most of Taylor Swift's stuff is mediocre and formulaic even for pop.

[segara82]

Fortunate Son from CCR.
Good song, but overused and overrated.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Me not liking a song doesn't make it overrated. It just means I can't relate to those loving it.

I am not a very big fan of Billy Eilish though, especially "Bad Guy" makes me wanna punch a puppy.

[Sevarin]

everything kiss, including to a certain extent "rock and roll all nite". its decent, but not as great as people act. every other kiss song is a steaming pile of trash. they are literally only popular because of that song, which is mediocre at best.


probably most new music if you can call it that. ive not kept up in a long time.

[Nevardcire]

I’m going to go with lynard skynyrd “freebird”. Never could understand the appeal of it. It just always seemed like a very boring song
