Music you like that's not considered great

[WMB]

Inspired by recent music threads, I'm thinking of rock groups that don't necessarily receive widespread critical acclaim or alot of people can't stand, but you personally enjoy listening to. These would be artists who don't receive much critical repect, are not considered influential, not in the rock hall of fame, but are among your favorites to listen to.

heres some of mine:

Rush
Dire Straits
Chicago (early material)
John Mellencamp
George Thorogood

Several of the artists you name are certainly considered great by most critics. Seriously man, Rush is incredibly critically acclaimed.

Hmm, I would say The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, early Michael Jackson, Guns N' Roses.


Who I actually thought of when I read this thread title for myself would be:

Barenaked Ladies
Drive-by Truckers
Cross Canadian Ragweed

i see your point. they're not in hall though. Thorogood, though, I can't turn him off when he comes on the radio

Rush no critical respect???
One of the most technically proficient bands ever.

Really? I liked Rush back in the day, and while they were all really respected musicians, were they really "incredibly critically acclaimed"? Hm - I can see 2112 receiving critical raves, maybe Moving Pictures, but not really anything else.

I am pretty sure early-Chicago is really respected and considered influential - definitely Dire Straits.
