Top Ten Overhated Rock Songs

The Top Ten
1 Born in the U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen

How can somebody hate this song it's an American Classic,yet at the same time tell a story of a soldiers struggle. There is no way to hate this beautiful American song

I am not a fan of his work, really. But this song is probably the one from him that I like the most so it's funny to see this here.

This is overhated really?

2 We Built This City - Starship

People probably hate it because the lyrics make no sense. Example "Marconi plays the Mamba." Marconi is an Italian inventor and electrical engineer, and the Mamba is one of the most dangerous snakes in the world.

I'm sick and tired of people say this song sucks, people leave this song alone

Yea there's even a list saying 10 reasons why this song is bad but I love it.

This song didn't deserve hatred anymore than other songs out there!

3 Revolution 9 - The Beatles

I can see why many people hate this, but with further exposure to avant-garde/experimental music, I'm beginning to appreciate it.

I don't really think it classifies as a "song". It's more of a collage of sounds and voices.

It may sound weird, but I've heard a lot worse.

4 Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

I have seen some hate on this song as it is often associated with hispters who think they're cool because they like older bands.

If you hate this song then hell is waiting for you
This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time and my favorite Led Zepplin song

5 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - The Beatles

I can understand why people dislike Revolution 9, but what's wrong with this song? It always puts me in a good mood and it's cheesy (in a good way). There is absolutely no reason to hate it and I never get annoyed out of it. It's one of my favorite Beatles songs actually.

I see this song on "worst songs of all time" lists all the time and I just don't understand it. It's a fun, catchy, creative song. That's all it was ever meant to be. Pretty much everybody I know loves it and why wouldn't they?

This is a great song.

This song is funny.

6 Tubthumping - Chumbawamba

Well sure the line "Pissing through the night" was dumb, but otherwise the song was great and catchy

It's a fun one-hit wonder. Pretty much every song on the charts these days is worse, anyways.

This is one of my favorite songs

The lyrics are not that good.

7 Hotel California - Eagles

I believe this was on another similar list. I don't understand why people don't like this one. It's a classic song in my books.

Guys. Are there that much people who hate this wonderful song? Why are you putting this in every overhated songs' list?

This song is beautiful, and a classic

Why do people hate it?

8 Breakfast at Tiffany's - Deep Blue Something
9 Living On a Prayer - Bon Jovi

I definitely do not hate this song. Not even close. I will say, though, that is arguably the most over-played song on the radio. Maybe if it's given a bit of a rest then people will want to start hearing it again.

I can't really think of anyone who'd logically hate it.

Favorite Bon Jovi Song

10 Barracuda - Heart

I didn't know this was considered to be a bad song. I certainly don't think it is.

I saw a lot of visitors hating this.

Who would hate this song?

This one kicks ass

The Contenders
11 Rockstar - Nickelback

As a metalhead who listens mostly to pretty serious and complex metal songs, I have to say that I don't mind hearing this funny song. I like it. It's a great parody, music is playful, video is fun to watch, the song is played very good. If somebody doesn't understand it's a parody, the problem isn't in the song.

12 Paradise City - Guns N Roses

Oh, come on. Is there really anybody that hates this song? I hope not

By far one of guns n roses best

This song is awesome.

This isn't overhated.

13 Nookie - Limp Bizkit
14 St. Anger - Metallica
15 Heavy - Linkin Park & Kiiara
16 Burn It to the Ground - Nickelback
17 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

This is one of the best songs period, overrated my ass

Overrated (it's not bad it's just overrated)

18 Photograph - Nickelback
19 Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen

People will either love or hate this song.

20 Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
21 Don't Stop Believin - Journey

Sure its overrated as hell but I still love it.

22 Creep - Radiohead

Wait people hate this

23 Teenagers - My Chemical Romance

Probebly overhated because the cliche of they are emo (when they hate the emo people, GENIUS)

24 Dancing On the Ceiling - Lionel Richie
25 With Arms Wide Open - Creed
