I’ll start. I’m sorry but California Love is a boring ass song.

The first ten seconds of the beat is amazing, but then it just gets so repetitive. The flows sound uninspired and the lyrics aren’t anything special.

I do respect that’s its a classic West Coast anthem, but damn if that song don’t put me to sleep 😴😴😴

The Beatles were definitely somewhat innovative for their time, but yeah I’m sick of hearing about how they “invented modern music”.

I started a debate once that The Yardbirds were ultimately more influential than the Beatles. Someone got seriously for real mad about it and it almost became a physical altercation lol

I had taken a few credits focused on the Beatles cultureal impact during my degree and can confirm they are overrated and honestly are not great by modern standards.

I have to agree with this. My wife and I were just talking about how the Beatles are generally overrated. Granted they came out over 50 years ago so I don’t have first hand experience of their come up. I just don’t think any of their music is anything to write home about. I’ve heard a lot of music from their contemporaries that sound much more progressive and vibrant. That being said, Come Together is a pretty good song

Upvoted for the unpopular opinion. Hotel California is a good song imho. Everytime I listen to it, I hear new lyrics and themes I didn’t catch before. It sounds so dark and soulful and really makes me imagine a specific setting. To me it sounds like the Eagles really put their whole chest in that song, lots of creativity and a great performance

Bohemian rhapsody. It’s a good song, and a very creative one at that, but I don’t think it’s anywhere close to being the greatest song ever made.

Yeah I agree. It’s a very creative song and fun to listen too. It’s certainly an experience to hear. I’d say it’s appropriately rated.

Africa - Toto

I remember reading a thread where a ton of posters were calling it the greatest song of all time. Maybe I missed a joke, but the adoration for this song seems sincere.

It fine, kinda boring. Come at me.

100% agree. A lot of people like it for the meme, and that’s fine and all. Doesn’t mean the song isn’t boring
