Top 10 Overrated Songs

Seriously. This just about ruins the authors credibility in one shot. The Pixies aren't even well known enough to qualify for the list, but to choose a song by them that is not even one of their most highly songs is stupid (come on Where is My Mind was on the Fight Club soundtrack and I've had to endure way too many tone deaf drunk girls butchering the lyrics to that song for this lifetime). It's on Surfer Rosa for ****'s sake!
 
Yeah whoever wrote that has no sense of cultural perspective or artistic interpretation.
Also, half those songs aren't hyped up at all. How about Enter Sandman or 1/4 the beatles catalogue or all of elvis costello and bruce springsteen?
 
Elvis Costello is pretty much great and his songs arn't overplayed at all but you could say the same thing about the Pixies and they took the top spot......
 
I love them both.

This silly website is trying to be edgy. I'm nearly as mainstream as they come and I had not heard the track that took the top spot until today. Not overrated, although the Pixies can do better and the lyrics leave a lot to be desired.
 
Yorke might have agreed with "Creep"; I've read he had a deep hatred for that song & RH didn't play it for years.

Phil Spector's wall of sound orchestration was a bit overblown on 'Winding Road, but it's not a bad song.
 
I've never really "gotten" the Beatles - and for me, Hey Jude is one of the longest, most boring pieces of music ever.
 
That's not really a list of over-rated songs, it's more of a list of songs that are over-played to the point that the rest of the catalog gets ignored.
 
That list is invalid as it doesn't contain Ram Jam's version of Black Betty :D I really don't understand what people see in that song... it's friggin irritating. The way classic rock stations play it, you'd think it's the holy grail of all music.
 
I don't understand why they felt the need to put so many songs by the same artists on the list. I feel like I'd understand the list better if they at least made an effort not to **** on just a handful of musical acts...

And if they didn't feel the need to top the list with The Pixies. What...?
