nah.....no drugs needed. just refined audio sensory preception

I am sure the bands we speak of strike a chord (pardon the pun) with someone...or else they would not be where they are....the Who and The Grateful Dead just do nothing for me but make me shake my head...add Genesis to the list!

Interesting topic, I am way to opinionated on this to really chime in, my post would be too long.
I don't like the WHo at all, but Townsends songwriting is very creative, he's not a lead player at all, but his acoustic work is well played.

IMHO, you cannot judge a great rock band by how good their musicianship is, the Ramones are a fantastic band, but lame musicians. The greatest rock guitar player ever, would be a bad jazz player so you cant base it on that.
AHours, I'm suprised how you feel about the Stones, they should have stopped making music in the mid-seventies, but before that I think they made some of the best R&R ever. Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are the best albums I own.
I really cant say who I think the most overrated band is, but look forward to others posts.

Ok, I thought about it.......my vote is for the Eagles.
Boring, country rock, never as cool as real honky tonk, and never as cool as real rock. Joe Walsh is the coolest cat and I love the James Gang, but the Eagles put me to sleep. DOn Henly makes we want to puke. Thats my vote!

Sorry Larry Quadrophenia probably my favorite Who album. Ahead of the curve at the time. Most overated lets see you got an hour. Way way too many to list. I do not and have not for at least 10 years listened to any commercial radio stations so I am out of the loop as far as bands now that suck. I do listen to obscure stations that play the kind of music I like but mostly living in the past with my own style's of music on CD's. I will say right now the band that I hate, overrated, more than anything is Jimmy Buffet. That guy sucks plain and simple. I probably say this because the guy I work with at night plays that %$%$%$%$ 8 hours a night 365 days a year. When he told me he got an MP3 player and now he can play like 18 straight hours I wanted to go over to the lathe and sharpen a piece of stainless and perforate my eardrums. Enough already please.

Yeah, I'll definetely agree with the Jimmy Buffet vote for one of the worst.
