    Currently reading Baseball: an illustrated history. Quite a thick book so I'll probably be reading it for a while. It's a nice change of pace since the book I was reading last month was pop fiction

    Yeah I agree. It's a very creative song and fun to listen too. It's certainly an experience to hear. I'd say it's appropriately rated.

    100% agree. A lot of people like it for the meme, and that's fine and all. Doesn't mean the song isn't boring

    Upvoted for the unpopular opinion. Hotel California is a good song imho. Everytime I listen to it, I hear new lyrics and themes I didn't catch before. It sounds so dark and soulful and really makes me imagine a specific setting. To me it sounds like the Eagles really put their whole chest in that song, lots of creativity and a great performance

    I have to agree with this. My wife and I were just talking about how the Beatles are generally overrated. Granted they came out over 50 years ago so I don't have first hand experience of their come up. I just don't think any of their music is anything to write home about. I've heard a lot of music from their contemporaries that sound much more progressive and vibrant. That being said, Come Together is a pretty good song

    What classic song do you think is severely overrated?

    I'll start. I'm sorry but California Love is a boring ass song. The first ten seconds of the beat is amazing, but then it just gets so repetitive. The flows sound uninspired and the lyrics aren't anything special. I do respect that's its a classic West Coast anthem, but damn if that song don't put me to sleep 😴😴😴
