[Music] Iconic songs that YOU think are crap
- Thread starter Icy Gull
- Start date
After Michael Jackson, the most overrated act in modern history. A try-hard who faked his way to an extraordinary career. He has a few catchy tunes but that's about it imo. Watch him in interviews, he is a total fake. Even he clearly doesn't believe the nonsense he is spouting.

Sorry @ Icy Gull, your favourite Xmas track is shite.

My wife has looked over my shoulder while reading this thread and demanded that I mention that she hates Mull Of Kintyre and particularly the bagpipes in the song.

You weren’t so angry an hour ago
Here’s some tripe from the supposed golden era, before Punk then synthesisers came along and ruined music forever.

My wife has insisted we watch an evening of Queen on BBC 4, of course I am now angry
It was what inspired this thread but I didn’t post Bohemian Rhapsody, I left it to someone else as I was certain it would get a mention soon enough

Love it ... saw him twice in Southampton around 80/81 (Teletour?) ... amazing stage setup.
And more recently at Brighton Dome ... his Mrs and young kid were there and the kid came on stage towards the end ... can't remember which song ... could have been Cars or Are Friends Electric.

I still have my copy ... and will take this opportunity to apologise for helping to keep it at number one for 9 weeks

I’ve just watched and I’m still watching the whole thing. I’d normally shy away from AIDS type doc’s …. too sad …. but I thought that prog was pretty special.
My view on Queen - half a dozen great songs and FM was an amazing performer. I saw a Live Aid doc a while back, where the assortment of lead singers to a person felt so inadequate on the day compared to him.
Always a Marmite thing on nsc - Queen, U2, Coldplay, The Beatles, Davy Propper, hiphop … threads are always polarised.

I went to the Brighton Centre gig of that Telekon tour, Sept 80?

That’ll anger some old timers
I can probably anger some folk in the middle too by saying Prince's Purple Rain is a shocker. Just trying to work out what my third song in an unholy trinity of over-rated s*ite would be. Probably "Around the world" by Daft Punk.

I like some Prince songs, but hate that.

Nah, it's the same poster with multiple accounts. Or women pretending to be men.

Have you still got that in a box sleeve on vinyl from the time? It’s still in my collection.
