Love the level of discourse in this thread.

"Classic rock" isn't an actual genre of music so much as it is a format for a radio station that mostly plays adult adult alternative pop music from the 60's - 00's and I will stand by this. I miss the old classic rock station we had around here, it got bought out about five years ago and it's really just not the same as it was back then. Now it really is the same 40 songs with no actual dj, back then they would pull out some deep cuts about every hour or so to keep things interesting but now it blows chunks. You can say what you want about them as a news source but NPR affiliates have some awesome music programming.

Back on topic, yeah supertramp sucks so much ass it's not funny, Lynrd Skynyrd's value as a band is entirely contained within the guitar solo in Freebird. Jack and Diane got mentioned already in this thread, and that's a good contender for the worst but Free Fallin' by Tom Petty is so fucking maudlin and the way he draws out his words just aggrivates me.

[Angel in the] Centerfold is a song I hate on a personal level, it's so agressively cishet it makes me wanna puke, the character guy gets all upset that his old crush is a beautiful woman who does nude modeling and he conspires to get her all to himself and its like... thats so creepy? Like can he really not stand the idea that other men might look at/interact with the girl he never made a move on in highschool? It's so wild that this is played on a daily basis given how he describes exactly how hes going to try to seduce her the next chance he gets.
