    Eagles - Hotel California
    Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart
    Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama
    Fleetwood Mac - Don't Stop ::cringe::
    Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle

    I dont mind this song, but i'm completely baffled of how some consider it the best song in their catalogue:
    Rolling Stones - Can You Hear Me Knocking

    Agree on this song. Even my beloved Trojan Marching Band doesn't make this suck any less:

    I actually love a lot of their songs but what makes me laugh is that a good friend of mind argues with everyone on this point. He doesn't like the Beatles and it cracks me up how many people bug out just because he is a musician and doesn't like the Beatles.

    :lol: I posted this then ducked out to put on my flame retardant suit before returning :twisted: I can't stand them at all.But I have heard such venom from others in the past that I dare to express my utter dislike for them and everything they ever did.

    I think a lot of the classic rock we don't get has a lot to do with drugs that those musicians took not being readily available anymore.

    Example - Grateful Dead. I have tremendous respect for them and their relationship with their fans. But isn't pretty bad music in every sense?

    I love The Beatles but don't care if someone doesn't. I never understand why people get upset if we don't all like the same things.

    I despise "Don't stop believing" by Journey...the most nauseating song EVER! I hate that it is played at every sporting event that I attend, and everyone finds the need to sing along to it! :sick:

    I'll be 34 this year, and I've yet to hear a single second of Rush. That I'm aware of anyway.
    All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.

    Fuck The Sopranos for making that a cool song. I'm glad it's getting overplayed now so people can recognize it for what it is.


    I can see how people get sick of some of this stuff, but I can't believe that there isn't at least one Beatles' song for everybody. Or hell, even Rush...if the voice is the problem I get that, but they do alot of different stuff and I think anybody that's on a rock message board could find at least a redeeming tune or 2. I mean, fucking Limelight or Fly By Night or Working Man!!!
