Agree with Stairway, but Smells Like Teen Spirit is a pretty damn catchy song, I don't see how it's overrated. I mean, when you take it for what it is.

I don't agree with Stairway, but agree with Smells like teen spirit. That song like the whole Nirvana shit is way overrated. I'd add Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall to the list.

Stairway to heaven has no place on this list in my opinion.  Smells Like Teen Spirit definitely does. 

Rock n Roll All Night (Kiss) belongs on this list.

I agree with Teen Spirit. I like it, but it isn't anywhere near the besy song ever. And Nirvana on the whole were boring. Some good stuff from Unplugged though.

Side Note:
And Rock And Roll All Nite is good, but I hate it when people call it the 'ultimate anthem of rock' because everyone knows it. How do more people in the world know that rock song then We Will Rock You? (In England anyway) I could sing the chorus of Rock And Roll All Nite and alot wouldn't know it. Anything from WWRY and everyone basically on the planet could finish it off.

Anthing by Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath would apply

Worst offenders Sabbath's 'War Pigs', utter rubbish, Iron Maiden's 'Number of the beast' and Led Zeppelin's Kashmir

i agree with zeppelin and pink floyd.... but IRON MAIDEN


In the states at least they are very underrated... Maiden kick ass.  NOTB is deffinetly NOT thier best song but it still kicks the shit out of crap like KISS and Nirvana


Iron Maiden kick ass... i suggest you listen to some more of thier stuff


My vote for most over rated song ever would have to go to Smells like teen spirit..... smells like shit to me!

The End - The Doors -

Pretty much every song by the Doors is overrated, this one is just boring and long. Sometimes a nap is even shorter than this song.

I agree with Estranged about Iron Maiden! 

And I wasn't saying that rock n roll all night isn't good, only that it's overrated.  It's certainly NOT Kiss's best song.  Deuce is far better.  Shock Me.  I'm offended when they call Rock n Roll all night the ultimate anthem.

But that's just me.

War Pigs? That is a definitive song. I'll listen to that song until the day I die, it's anything but overrated.

I would say the most overrated song is probably what everybody else is saying, Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.

Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine

I love the song but the idea people have of it being GN'R's greatest is stupid it is overplayed and amongst many is the only GN'R people know.  I also agree w/ Stairway to Heaven & Smells Like Teen Spirit....both way to overated!!!!  The 1st is boring the second just mindless crap.

Wow...I disagree with everyone here...lol especially "Stairway To Heaven" and "Another Brick In The Wall". To each his own I guess.

As far as I'm concerned, I would say the late Nirvana (post-Nevermind): I think In Utero and Unplugged are very lame. Kinda hard to name just one song.

Jeremy by Pearl Jam.

Stairway, Rock n Roll, Kashmir and alot of other things by Zeppelin

Smells Like Teen Spirit is extremely overrated, it hit a chord with the youth at the time. It was catchy, so people liked it, but felt it necessary to make into more than it ever was.

Brick in the Wall alongside a bunch of other Pink Floyd songs.

I know the song is well liked amongst a number of people but overated....nah it's definately one of their best songs and in the scheme of things, in the music industry if anything it's underated at least here in the UK most people only know Pearl Jam for Alive unless they are big fans.
