Really? It's a pretty great song. Plus "Lost In The Supermarket" is on there.

It's a yell-y, 2 chord diatribe. Compare it to "Clampdown" or 'Death or Glory," and the imagery and storytelling in those songs. Admittedly, the album suffers an embarrassment of riches.

The Clash are garbage, great nomination for most over rated band.

Clampdown and Guns of Brixton are two of my favorite songs they do.

I guess you've never listened to the London Calling record....or a lot of the music.

Bad Take.

People have been saying for over 30 years that this is the greatest love song of all time.
I mean, it is pretty amazing, but the best? So I guess it's kind of overrated.

The answer is Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama, of course. Take your pick.

Most underrated is anything from CSN debut album, CSNY Deja Vu and Can't Find My Way Home by Blind Faith.

"Sweet Home Alabama" is better than any Zeppelin song.

I am a big cash money/juvi fan generally. Not sure about that song tho even tho it was probably his/that group's greatest hit. Idk if bling bling surpassed it however.

I gotta admit, as much as I love the Clash, I really don't like RTC.

But it also doesn't belong in a "most over rated song" thread.

Zeppelin has some clunkers- especially the lyrics- but Kashmir and Trampled Underfoot are both better than anything Skynyrd ever did.

Overplayed an overrated are two different things. That Green Day song and Smells Like Teen Spirit are both wildly overplayed. I don't think they were necessarily overrated, they're pretty decent songs on their own they just got played out.

I get the distinction. IMO Smells Like Teen Spirit is both of those things. I know my opinion is the minority in this discussion and I clearly understand the songs place in music history. I just think it is a crap song.

It is

"Sweet Home Alabama" is better than "Good Times Bad Times" or "Communication Breakdown?"

It's better than The Crunge.......which isn't saying much.

There's Zeppelin songs that absolutely are no good. You can strike the blues songs from Zeppelin I, even the studio version of Dazed and Confused. Zeppelin II is not great, except for WLL, Thank You and Heartbreaker, which are ok. The Crunge sucks and so do half the songs on Physical Graffiti (Custard Pie, Black Country Woman, Night Flight, Sick Again, Boogie with Stu, etc.). I hate the Presence and In Through the Out Door Albums. I'm not even a fan of Black Dog, which is completely overrated and has awful mixing.

But to say that "Sweet Home Alabama" is better than any Zeppelin song is just not a true statement. It's a repetitive song ad nauseum, made even more so from its overplay on the radio. You cannot turn on the radio and not hear "Sweet Home Alabama" on some rock station. It's a song with no taste and bad, uninventive guitar.

"Godzilla" is a tune that holds up and then some.

Killer song

Zeppelin II is not great?! You're insane.


And Sam gets it. The kick drum alone from 'Good Times Bad Times' kicks any Skynyrd's dummer's ass.

Fuck off, not even close.

For best LC track it's either "The Card Cheat," "Lost in the Supermarket," or "Clampdown." I know "The Guns of Brixton" is kind of a filler but I like it. I think I like more songs off Sandinista!, actually.
