Vote for Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana 1) Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

a load of crap

If Kurt Cobain doesn’t commit suicide, Nirvana goes down in music history as a mere footnote. However, the man kills himself, and Nirvana becomes viewed as some kind of revolutionary, innovative band. The acclaim given to this band is quite disproportionate to their music’s level of creativity and ingenuity.

I don’t understand what all the hype over nirvana is about. the songs are horrible. the only good one in the whole band is dave grohl.


Vote for Like a Virgin - Madonna 2) Like a Virgin - Madonna

she was lucky to be that famous

OlgaLJ

Madonna needs to thank god for her luck.

Horrible song from an even more horrible woman who like to adopt African babies for all the wrong reasons.


Vote for Hey Jude - The Beatles 3) Hey Jude - The Beatles

"Hey Jude" is a good song, but it’s certainly not an all-ending song that people make it out to be.

I’m a huge fan of The Beatles. If any Beatles’ songs are going to appear on this list, they should be "Yesterday" or "Let It Be. " Those songs made it to 13th and 20th on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs list, respectively. When I ranked The Beatles’ songs, neither of those songs made the top 50.

Juday... juday juday juday... oww!... WOW!... NAH... NAH... NAH.. NAH.. NAH.. NANA.. NAH NANA NAH.. -AWFUL!

Everything Beatles did was extremely overrated. There are better bands out there!


Vote for Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen 4) Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

except for the last part, this sucks big time.

I agree. Everyone has a huge BoRhap phase, but it ends. Mine was a few months ago, and within a few weeks, it got old. Now this is a good example of an overrated song.


Vote for Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin 5) Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

I hate everything I have heard by Led Zeppelin!
