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

    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

    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.

      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.
