10 Most Hated Classic Rock Songs (From Great Bands)

9. Back Chat - Queen

Any self-respecting rock fan has Queen placed in the upper echelons of rock gods. Even though some bands have been bigger, you simply cannot deny the raw talent that radiates from these guys, from their operatic tunes like "Bohemian Rhapsody" to the pure bombast of "Somebody to Love."

By the time the band reached the 80's, they started to make engaging pop music for a whole new generation with songs like "Another One Bites the Dust." The song's disco beat and infectious bassline was irresistible for the pop landscape, but the band started falling into bad habits when they tried to build on that momentum.

Though the band's record Hot Space featured the smash hit "Under Pressure" with David Bowie, "Back Chat" is one of the songs that shows everything wrong about this era of the band. From the more stylized production to the lack of real hooks, this song sounds like something that should be playing at a middle school dance rather than the sleek nightclubs of New York City. Out of all the albums in their catalog, even drummer Roger Taylor has counted this tune as among the few Queen songs he despises. Though the band went on to greater feats down the road, this stands as one of the more flagrant misfires in the band's catalog.
