Songs Considered Classic , Which you Dislike
Every time it comes on the radio the station is switched over. The song is Layla, it's overblown ,self indulgent and boring in my opinion, plenty of others will disagree, but I can't stand it.
Any others? |

Don't Stop Believin' - it does my head in.
Flashdance - turn it over as soon as it starts

Name me one person who considers 'Flashdance' a classic
![]() For me 'Wonderwall' a moronic, tedious dirge which really grinds my gears. And 'Chasing Cars' - ditto. |

Rolling Stones ~ Symphony For The Devil.
& Nirvana ~ Smells Like Teen Spirit. Both are Noisy and Irritating Rubbish. |

American Pie.
As soon as I hear " A long long time ago" I instantly switch off in my mind. If I am in control of the radio - it goes off. |

Some classics I can't abide are - Waterloo - Abba. I love ABBA but this song make me feel ill. All Right Now - Free. Bores me to tears. Maggie May - Rod Stewart. Leaves me cold, can't see the appeal for the life of me. |

What's the game exactly? Seems I'm the first one here to proffer Sweet Child O'Mine. When I hear the intro I just think Oh God here we go, 4 minutes of infathomably overrated screechy shite.

Agree with Sweet child o' mine analysis - have to admit .
Loathe with a passion the following :- Roll with it - Oasis Angels - Robbie Williams Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen |

Any others? Radio 4 made a programme recently about Layla and Majnun, ''said to be the most beautiful poem in the Arab world' and the inspiration for Eric Clapton's seminal pop song. What a laugh. There's something seriously the matter with our culture .Not available to listen again atm but here's the BBC page. |

I agree, does nothing for me. I agree with the poster who mentioned Robbie Williams' Angels. I don't understand what's so great about it.

'Come On Eileen' - Dexy's Midnight Runners.
Guaranteed to make me switch a station over. I'd rather listen to 'Geno' or 'Show Me'. |

I'm with ya Sue, that song and sound wore out its welcome rather quickly
Police - Every Breath You Take ... plodding and earnest ballad with little of the nuance of their other hits Fun Boy Three featuring Bananarama - It Ain't What You Do, It's The Way That You Do It ... I like the original Ella song, just not the way that they did it. |

Agree with American Pie . Totally overrated!
Meatloaf - Bat out of hell . Pompous to an extreme !

The Whole of the Moon by The Waterboys, it's very annoying!

I'm with Lou on that one.
I could also cheerfully go through life without ever hearing the opening sax riff to George Michael's Careless Driver, er Whisper again. I realise it's a highspot in the minds of millions but for me it presages five minutes of sheer unalloyed misery (unless I can reach the radio tuning knob in time) |
