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 😴😴😴
Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
/prepares for battle
The Jeff Buckley version is still my favorite. I haven’t heard any other cover since then that seems to do it justice.
It’s definitely been covered badly too many times and overplayed to the point that it’s a cliche now though
My personal favorite cover was done by Tom Waits.
But I’m also a fan of his music so the bias is there.
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
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
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.
Sweet Child O Mine
Listened to it on loop one summer and am eternally donr with that guitar riff
im not saying its a bad song, its not, but i dont understand why free bird is played so much or how it became the meme song.
I think Freebird is a pre-Internet meme, like “where’s the beef” was. When someone would take song requests, shouting out Freebird was asking for a song known for versions with 20 minute dueling guitar solos. Basically a ridiculous and over the top request.
It is a good song since it’s still popular today in a serious sense many times, which is what has kept it still somewhat relevant in pop culture.
