Artists you like but don't care for their most popular song...

[Wyld Card 5]

What are some bands that you like, but don't care much for their most popular / overplayed song?

Some of mine:

Rock & Roll All Night - KISS

Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses

Enter Sandman - Metallica

Zeppelin's is Stairway, which I like, but I don't really see much in Whole Lotta Love which is probably their 2nd most played on the radio.

I really hate Hotel California. I know I'm going to get crap for that, but the classic rock station where I used to live played that song about ten times every day and now I can't even stomach it.

[Farin 2]

Blur's Song 2 is the definition of 'overplayed'

[edna 6]

I hate Yesterday and Satisfaction.

[Jenny 2]

I don't know if it's his most popular song, but I don't like "Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel.

I don't know if it's his most popular song, but I don't like "Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel.

It was the most popular of 80's Joel, just don't know about it compared to Piano Man.

I really don't like "Sweet Home Alabama"

"Creep" - Radiohead

I am very much a Rolling Stones fan, have been so since I heard "It's All Over Now" the first time on a transistor radio.

And I have very much disliked, from the first time I ever heard it, one of the most favoured Stones ballads: "Angie".

Still zapping away from it.

I love The Beatles and Elton John, but each have a massive hit anthem song that I find cloying and endless:

Elton: Bennie and the Jets

Beatles: Hey Jude

thank you. I cannot abide that song.

And, like rg, I really don't like Hotel California either. It's Joe Walsh's guitar that makes the song, the Eagles have much better songs.

Genesis are the perfect example of this. They are one of my favourite bands, yet I don't particularly like any of their twenty or so hit singles.

The only hit of theirs I like is Land of Confusion. No Son of Mine is an okay song, but I don't like the rest (Phil Collins era)

I like Bruce ... but I never really cared much for "Born to Run".

[Wyld Card 5]

I like REO Speedwagon okay, but not I Can't Fight This Feeling (if that is their most popular song)

Same for Tom Sawyer by Rush.

[Shawna 1]

I love me some Stevie-era Fleetwood Mac, but "Gypsy" has always caused me to change the radio station.

And in the '70s I was a tight-pants-Euro-dude-Rod-Stewart fan, but "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" Not so much.

[skybluesky 0]

That one I don't mind so much, but I HATE "Tonight's the Night"

[Wyld Card 5]

Gypsy isn't really one of their most popular though. Did you know Ms Nicks wrote that song for a friend who died of leukemia?

[bazooka 0]

Beatles: Hey Jude

[Ombre Vivante 0]

I don't really care for "Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode as well as "Situation" and "Don't Go" by Yazoo (all composed by Vince Clarke). It's not that I think they're bad songs, but they're waaaaay overplayed on 80s flashback hours. They killed the novelty of the songs.

Use Somebody by Kings of Leon

I like Led Zeppelin but I HATE HATE HATE Stairway To Heaven.

HOTEL CALIFORNIA. I am so freaking sick of that song.

[pinkstones 0]

I don't care for it either. There's other songs on the album I like more, such as New Kid In Town.

Ace Of Spades-Motorhead

Just burnt out on the song
