Hard agree on everything on your list, except I would say that 7 Nation Army is probably more overplayed than overrated. It isn't even the best song in that album but it was a fine enough song until it was played at every single sporting event for the last 20 years.

I'd add to your list Imagine by John Lennon. The lyrics are so bad I think even 14 year old internet edgelords who make up songs for tiktok would be embarrassed to write them. It's an appalling song not even fit to be a Beatles b-side (and I don't really like the Beatles).

Were you alive when "Imagine" was released? The song addresses issues and problems that were entrenched in western societies. I have no objection to your disliking the song or the band. I do object to your having declared the lyrics insult as in such an uninsightful way, when it appears as though you have described them as, essentially, stupid junk.

I guess if I had the benefit of living through a time of greed, religious extremism, environmental decline and war the lyrics wouldn't seem so hilariously bad. Oh well, guess I'll never know what that's like...
