    Welcome to Boardsies Greatest - Most Overrated Song

    We all know those songs, they show up in every tournament, every walrus and we wonder why they are so loved. Those famous songs that are popular for being popular. Now it is time to find which song is the most overrated of all time, welcome folks to another edition of Boardsies Greatest.


    So just to explain more of what we are looking for here, songs which you might hate but most people like, songs which you think are decent at best but are highly praised and you wonder why. Of course, you can make your own decision on what is overrated.

    Please PM me up to 10 songs

    No rush with this one Ficheall, I will give good notice before closing nominations, likely a week at least. There are a few tournaments ahead of me.

    I decided to send in nominations this time - I don't always!

    It will be interesting to see what interpretation people will take on this topic! For example, overrated does not have to be the same as worst! Also, you could quite like a song but still feel it is overrated! :D

    I feel conflicted rooting for a song that I won't like :pac:


    This was a theme I had in mind if I ever in a million years had to choose a theme for the weekly walrus

    Same, there were two that immediately came to mind. The rest will need a bit more careful consideration. Or I could just nominate those two five times each, which would not be undeserved imo.

    I can already tell this is going to mayhem and will end in the first ever boardsies civil war, should be fun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,173 ✭✭✭Declan A Walsh


    I hope people are taking time to consider what they believe is overrated and not taking the easy way out and nominating songs they simply hate! :D


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,128 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro

    I actually took the time to nominate songs I genuinely think are over-rated piles of garbage...

    Also specifically went for the better known songs to cause maximum outrage when they're posted. :D:D

    If the masses don't agree then that's the very definition of overrated. So, good job.

    I actually like some of the songs I picked but I also consider them to be highly overrated

    Well the two songs I have in mind everybody else seems to love them, but I think they're some of the greatest piles of sh*te ever committed to whatever recording medium you choose, so I guess that covers both angles. :D


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Kol, you should do overrated movies after this (you probably already thought of that).

    Disliking or hating something that others continue to heap praise upon are the songs that I find to be the most overrated.

    If I like something then I'll only ever consider it slightly overrated, and it's not in the same league as the ones I really can't stand.

    Given the content of my PM, and the most songs by the same act, I have a feeling I know the act :D Hope I'm not wrong... In which case, are those songs really overrated of everyone feels the same way? Who are they overrated by?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    My ten nominations were an average of 2 per artist. Though the most I nominated was 3 for any one artist.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 7,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭HildaOgdenx


    Mine are mostly songs I dislike, but they are / have been very popular (apparently). More than one nomination for two artists in particular.

    This thread is going to be fun. :D

    We have 170 songs now.

    I would like to start this next week after the site migration, though I don't know what the schedule is for the other tournaments, don't want to clash with anyone. Nominations are still open anyway.

    Niamh mentioned in the feedback thread that the site migration will be postponed so this should clear next week a bit more :).

    Yep, as long as it is not Bon Jovi.

    Too many Bon Jovi songs submitted already? Probably fair to limit them now so to give other songs a chance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,173 ✭✭✭Declan A Walsh


    Same closing date?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,421 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Yeah still plan on starting Monday. Hopefully we have all got to grips with the new site by then



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,577 ✭✭✭Bonzo Delaney


    There'll probably be a need for a separate discussion thread on this
