Freebird has been beaten to death...if I never hear that crap song again it will still be too soon
I playe in a band whose lead guitariaat just loved freebird. When I hear it now, it's like fingernails scraping a blackboard.
Don't single out Freebird -- all of these songs have been beaten to death. Unfortunately, rock and roll has turned into four-chord, overdistorted forgettable crap. Nothing "memorable" out there today, thanks in large part to that no-talent jackass Kurt Cobain.
Same with "Stairway..." I love Zeppelin but when that tune comes on the radio I change the station.
It was pretty good the first 250,000 times I heard it but, c'mon! Led Zeppelin recorded a few more songs besides "Stairway."
Stairway to Heaven PLEEEEZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
