Most Overrated Songs by Popular Music Artists That Wrote Better Songs

These music artists are famous for songs that did not define them. They did write music that is good but was drowned out by the songs that used less effort.
The Top Ten
1 Wonderwall - Oasis

I literally cannot stand this song, or the fact that Oasis has written much BETTER songs than this, but nobody knows them because they think of this whenever they think of Oasis! What the hell is wrong with everybody who thinks that songs like "Some Might Say", "Fade In-Out" & "Roll With It" are inept, instead turning their heads towards this stupid song?!?! It's effortless and uninspired, just accept it!

2 Hey Jude - The Beatles

I agree with this being number one I am not sure I would even call it one of The Beatles better songs yet alone their best.

3 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Good song but people overlook bleach and in utero which had some of nirvana's best work, incesticide was great too

Whilst a great song, I think come as you was better.

Heart-shaped Box is my favorite

4 Enter Sandman - Metallica
5 Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day

Green Day has more overrated songs than this one.

6 Shape of You - Ed Sheeran

Out of all the Ed Sheeran songs that could be overplayed, why this one? If your going to overplay a Ed Sheeran song, overplay The A Team, End Game, Perfect, Castle on The Hill, Thinking Out Loud, Everything Has Changed, or Galway Girl. (Take note, Mix 96.5.)

In my opinion, Ed Sheehan is a decent artist, but this is definitely his worst song. It's overplayed, generic and meaningless. The rest of the album from what I've heard so far is pretty good though.

I hate this song!

7 We Will Rock You - Queen

This song is a song that's good live and not really good anywhere else

8 Loser - Beck
9 Creep - Radiohead
10 Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2 - Pink Floyd
The Contenders
11 Tik Tok - Ke$ha

This wasn't added? I mean it isn't bad, it's alright, but, best #1 on best Kesha songs list? I don't think so, she has far better songs than this.

12 Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis

Wonderwall is the overrated one not this.

13 November Rain - Guns N' Roses
14 Should I Stay or Should I Go? - The Clash
15 Thunder - Imagine Dragons
16 Valerie - The Zutons
17 Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden
18 Born in the U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen
19 Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

I just don't see how anyone could think of this as one of the best songs ever! What are they all thinking, for crying out loud?!

I hate this song as much as a person who likes it hates logic.

20 (What a) Wonderful World - Sam Cooke

Just wanted to point out that this is the actual title for that "Don't know much about history" song. Definitely not to be confused with the unrelated Louis Armstrong song "What A Wonderful World".

21 God Only Knows - The Beach Boys
22 Hymn for the Weekend - Coldplay
23 Girls Like You - Maroon 5
24 Sunday Morning - The Velvet Underground

I used to like this, but I now I just find it boring

Personally, I think Heroin is much better.

This is one of the only songs from this band I actually like lmao

25 1-800-273-8255 - Logic
