Comfortably Numb. I'm not saying it's a bad song, because it isn't. But in my opinion it's not great either. Like almost every Floyd song, it just bores me. Too slow.

"Africa" by Toto.

Worst lyrics, worst synth sounds, and worst wannabe Afrcan groove by the worst supergroup in the inexplicably best selling song about nonsense ever recorded.

Like a Rolling Stone. It's not even one of the better songs in Dylan's unbearable catalog.

Beatles - Here Comes The Sun
Beatles - Yesterday
Rolling Stones - Wild Horses
Beach Boys - God Only Knows
Bob Marley - No Woman, No Cry

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

Eagles - Hotel California
REM - Losing My Religion

I think "Stairway" to be poor for live performances.

That Bob Marley song is NOT AT ALL overrated.
Agree with most of your other choices, though, even if I do like them. God Only Knows is slightly overrated, as it's not even in the top 3 songs from THAT ALBUM. And you're almost spot on with your two Beatles choices (I might add I Want to Hold Your Hand, though.)

Only two Beatles songs? Hairy, you're losing your edge, man! God Only Knows, though? I disagree big time, and I'm thinking most musicians would too.

I wonder if the discussion might become more interesting if people were to suggest a different song by each artist that should be rated higher instead. Or has that thread been done?

Ok yeah that one's even more annoying. But I get the feeling that pretty much everybody sees One More Time as Daft Punk's best or sth, which is why I mentioned it

Surely Da Funk is their best? Plus there's no lyrics to annoy you...
It's either this or Harder Better....

This is actually quite similar to the actual song (at least that organ/keyboard or whatever it is solo)

What about this version:

Jhereko is sure to love it.

I like both around the world and one more time but around the world can get annoying
I think Daft Punks best is either HBFS or Digital Love.

Nah, that title goes to either HBFS or Derezzed. I actually wouldn't be here if it weren't for One More Time, it's a fun little song.
