Are ones that spring to mind - obviously great songs, just not quite as good as they've been rated I don't think...
Also,Gnarls Barkley - Crazy being at #36 would be ludicrous - shouldn't be in the company of the songs around it

Led Zepplin - Stairway To Heaven (9)

The Beatles - Hey Jude (37)
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion (41)

10) Queen Bohemian Rhapsody 1975 61

Wouldn't miss these ten from the top 100 at all.

Brick House. I don't care what # it is I just officially hate this song now. It's not the bands' fault it's just that annoying Wickes commercial, "It's a Wikes House!!!!" Can't stand the song anymore.

The rules for making this list are difficult to standardize. I just decided to begin at the top and pick the top 10 songs where I would change the channel if they came on the radio. If they are such acclaimed classics, they should be timeless, right?

1. Eagles - Hotel California
2. Oasis - Live Forever
3. Oasis - Wonderwall
4. Rolling Stones - Honky Tonk Women
5. Blur - Song 2
6. Van Halen - Jump
7. Michael Jackson - Beat It
8. Steppenwolf - Born to Be Wild
9. James Taylor - Fire and Rain
10. Metallica - Enter Sandman

I like Jonah's criteria..if you'd punch buttons if it came on the radio, it's overrated. Using that standard, here's my Top 10 overinflated songs:

1) Anarchy in the U.K.-Sex Pistols (#10)
2) God Save the Queen-Sex Pistols (#23)

FOR #1 and #2 I'd say I just don't like the Pistols very much..

3) Sympathy for the Devil-Rolling Stones (#43)
4) Waterloo Sunset-The Kinks (#55)

Like both these artists but these 2 songs...not so much.

5) Get Ur Freak On-Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot (#59)
6) Take Me Out- Franz Ferdinand (#70)

Don't HATE these but I'm passionately disinterested. I'd definitely look for "something better" on the fictitious radio before "settling" for either one.

7) Firestarter - The Prodigy (#167)

LOATHE this one...

8) Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out of My Head (#173)
It's catchy and hummable and I'll listen when I'm in the mood but I've never heard the opening synth riff, shouted "AWRIGHT!!!" and cranked the volume either.

9) Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes (#200) Almost always tune this one out...sorry Bowie fans.

10) The Rapture - House of Jealous Lovers (#210)
YAWN...

Note:
Any songs I don't know I skipped with the thought that they could be great songs I just don't know yet.

5. Respect - Aretha Franklin
24. You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin' - The Righteous Brothers

50. Every Breath You Take - The Police
