Not many lists Easy Lover wouldnt be rank bottom but then not every list will have an ear splitting turd like you're beautiful on it. Even typing the name hurts my ears.

Led Zepp, that song for me is so ovdrplayed along with a few other Zepp songs but the alternatives aren't much for me to get excited about either.

You'll know that war crime of a song when you hear it. It will fill you with more rage than hearing a bar full of Sullys talking about the Sox.

Guy spots some randomer on a train and somehow decides this is a solid basis for falling in love and inflicting quite possibly the worst and most naff love song ever recorded on the human race. Fuck off.

More than you can imagine. I had to open that in incognito mode so as not to pollute my YouTube feed with stuff of similar ilk.

Hey in this case we actually have widespread agreement

Thankfully Id never heard it before and can relegate it to forgotten status. But to be sure Ive done a Ministry brain cleanse.

Add me to that. The song is fucking dire and Tom should hang his head in shame.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Torn between Wings and Mamas and Papas but plumped for the latter. Both great songs. Aside from the Byrds the rest of the list is pretty average to bad, especially that whining fucking Oasis song.
Was it Wilson Phillips that ruined that California Dreaming song

Yeah, I can't even get behind it.

The overplayed aspect does make me forget how fucking mammoth it is. The riff obviously, but Bonham's fill coming out of the middle section into that amazing Page solo is inarguably one of the best Zeppelin moments.

Yeah it just can be easy to overlook things you have grown accustomed to. Its like a Victoria Secrets catalog vs internet porn. Yeah those VS models all look hot but meh.

Lotta great songs on this one (even tho James blunt is unlistenable), gonna take a minute to think on it.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!
