Re: Overrated bands/musicians
A friend gave me a copy of Morrison's poetry book 'The Lords and New Creatures' years ago because I was a fan. Pure crap. Self-indulgent tripe. I still enjoyed the music but any teen worship I had of the Morrison mystique went out the window fast.
I was never a Michael Jackson fan but hey, he was the King of Pop. Rated about where he belongs imo.
Bob Dylan overrated? Possibly he is dated now but the impact he had on American music will probably never be fully realized.
Beatles lol. Level.
I never could stand the Dead but understood why they had the fan base they did. I think their place in the rock pantheon is unique and hard to judge. I will admit that when I heard Jerry Garcia had died my first thought was what all the poor Deadheads were going to do. Luckily Phish came along and threw them a rope.
I always thought Phil Collins was overrated but always wrote it off as 'no accounting for taste' and he doesn't fit mine. I'll take Peter Gabriel as far as former Genesis people goes.
Rod Stewart.
REO Speedwagon. I guess that sounds funny now but one would have to be old enough to remember how much the shiznit they were when 'High Infidelity' was on the charts. Gawd they sucked.
Def Leppard.
Motley Crue for the win. Most overrated rock band ever.
