    The Beatles are one of the top bands of all time, but some of their fans think that anything they played, is automatically a classic and deserves to be considered one of the best songs of all time. But something like Penny Lane is just a throwaway song, and would have been instantly forgotten if any other band had recorded it

    Hell no.

    Maybe its slightly overrated within its genre, but its a good song and an absolute classic.

    Consider for a minute what "all-time" means. For example, today in our current time, half of the most popular songs these days are effeminate teen boys with face tattoos mumbling about how much they love xanax, the other half are "songs" sung by hyper sexualized broads who sound like they have been chain smoking for the past 30 years ... compared to "popular" music today, hotel california would be one of the most underrated songs of all time.

    If a modern band made Yellow Submarine it would have been laughed off social media and all platforms unless it became a meme. By people that have never taken acid and have an IQ as low as Nanners btw. Music opinions are worthless from people who don't know anything about making music.

    Like it or don't. The rest doesn't matter. It's all bullshit. People don't even value music as much as they pretend to.

    For the record, people who have IQ as high as mine only listen to the absolute highest quality music, the kind of music that governments collude to hide from their general populace (because they are terrified of the spiritual awakening that could result from their people hearing such sweet and pure melodies and piercingly intelligent lyrics)

    for example

    It's certainly the worst song ever.

    Looking at Rolling Stones most recent 500 greatest songs list, Hotel California didn't even crack the top 300. I still contend Imagine is the most overrated song of all time, which checked in on that list at 19. The other songs I'd add in contention for that title are I Will Always Love You & Rolling in the Deep.

    "Yeah" by Usher

    The song was a huge smash hit because Usher was in the middle of his peak run and Lil' Jon was the man of the hour. As we speak the song has 835 million views on YouTube.

    Meanwhile I legit think it's in the running for worst beat of all time. I have never EVER been in the mood to hear this song.

    But doesn't matter where you go, odds are, you're going to hear it playing somewhere. And even better odds, you're probably going to be standing next to someone who's signing right along to it. A more frustrating thing I cannot imagine.
    Patsy I do know deaf people , but I did not know you sign...

    How long have you been deaf ?
