Most overrated rock star

The Beatles. They were the 60's version of the Backstreet Boys.

Journey. Fucking hate song they've ever performed.

If this was the 60's, you'd be hanging in a butchers window.

One of my favorite Stones songs you rarely hear anymore.

I hate Christmas music in all forms unless it appears on a South Park episode.

Only good Christmas song ever made(not featured on South Park of course)

You hate the Beatles and you hate Christmas music. What's left: Tiny Tim singing "Tip toe to the Tulips."

Well they were 2 very different types of groups musaically. As far as musicianship, as in how proficient they are at playing their instruments, Zeppelin is clearly superior. But lyrically, The Stones are clearly superior if that matters to you. It does to me.. not that LZ's lyrics were bad, just not anywhere near as good the Stones'.

I'd disagree in the lyrics department. Like you say...two different bands but Zeps lyrics were top notch for what they were.

Physical Graffiti isn't even my favorite Zeppelin album, though it was the last one of theirs I purchased.. my fav would be IV. For a peak, I'll take Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers & Exile over LZ 1-4, though it's close.. but The Stones already had an extensive HOF catalog before that.

I wasn't an overly big fan of the stuff before BB for the Stones. That 5 year run they had was extraordinary, but I'd still give the edge to LZ. I view LZ IV similar to RS Exile.....most put those two albums to the fore, but I can't.

Yes, Freddie Mercury has an impressive voice. So does Barbara Streisand and I don't listen to her much either. Queen just isn't for me.

Mercury was far more than just a voice. He was top notch at everything - vocal power, lyrics, showmanship. The absolute complete package.

am I the only one that thinks damn near all of Boston's songs sound the same...or at least the ones that were on the radio every 15 minutes?

I give them credit for the first album - sounded unique. A lot of acts tried to go that route, and I guess the fact that Boston never wavered from their sound turned into a detriment.

After 20, basically everyone was liked by someone and everyone was hated by someone. It all cancels out in the end. The ones that were called great, were indeed great, and the ones called lousy, were indeed lousy.

We all like our favorites and hate the other ones.

This thread has been much less annoying today. I've even enjoyed it, and haven't once felt like stabbing anyone.

I can totally handle someone saying "I don't like this or that," but when they start saying "such and such is garbage" when it's clearly not, I just want to stab the retard right out of 'em.

Hey fuck you punk, it's all garbage, and you're garbage too!

I like manly music. Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard en sech.

I like some of the country guys you listed. I lean towards guys like Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins and Johnny Horton.

I love how this has devolved into people just throwing out band names. Thread title/OP said nothing about bands.

So getting this thing back on track:

Mick Jagger? Overrated AF. Stones? Meh.

Big fan of all 3.

Waylon, Merle and Willie will forever be by top 3 though.

I'm not saying this one gay video, but it is.

No probs with those guys at all.

They're just faggoty high-talkers, nothing more.

Wow. Melissa Ethridge has really let herself go.

fucking great song though

I know some folks who revere the music of Jim Morrison and the Doors. Aside from "Touch Me", I don't understand their appeal.

I like manly music.

You dislike female singers?
