Michele over at FTTW did this a couple days ago, I wanted to add my two cents and see where you fine readers were at.
Most over-rated song of all time?
The song that makes you just wonder what the hell anyone was thinking when they wrote it, much less rehearsed it and the, recorded it.
For me?
Smoke on the Water. I’m not saying it’s a bad song, I’m just saying, it’s not all that great. It’s a freaking four note blues riff. Blackmore must have been drunk when he wrote it and the fact that Gillan’s vocals carries it…I rest my case. Clapton’s worst B-Side is better than this.
Just my opinion, what’s yours?
