Most overrated rock star

[SlinkyRedfoot]

A lot of times I tuned in, it was live stuff...which is cool. I think that's the only way to make that channel really worthwhile. The Eagles have a great catalogue, just not a large one.

They play a lot of live stuff on the Grateful Dead station too. I consider myself a pretty big Grateful Dead fan, but I'm in the minority that thinks their studio albums are better than their live shows. Don't get me wrong, I was at my share of shows and they were fun as hell, but to sit and listen to a recording, the musicianship was often pretty sloppy. There are exceptions, though.

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)

Fuck you, heathen.

I heard that song for the first time a few months ago. Pretty funny.

A lot of the artist stations play a lot of their influences as well. They play Poco on their too.

Springsteen is a good choice but I'd select Elvis Presley

That's true. You hear a lot of different stuff on Tom Petty's channel.

That'll be the replacement on my programmed channel when The Eagles station goes away.

That is pretty strange...and true at the same time. I'm not a fan of GD, but they certainly made their hay with the live show.

I get why a lot of people think that, but he could sing his ass off in a few genres and Elvis completely changed the game.

They should have never tried to play Mama Tried.

I always liked Petty. He's not programmed on my stereo but he was a straightforward musician which I can appreciate. Sad when he passed for the obvious, but I believe he died the same day as the Vegas mass shooting, so his death/memory was barely a blip in the media.

There's not many rock acts I'd rank above Tom Petty.

The obvious answer is Jimi Hendrix.
If he were white, you would have never heard of him.
Fact.

Same deal with Eminem if he were black.

Pretty much responsible for rockabilly, which obviously opened the door for all after him. Don't know how that is overrated...

I'd never heard of Robert Earl Keen and a buddy was playing stuff for me on youtube. We came across that one.

Rage Against the Machine

"Waaaah the government waaaaaah"

 

[Ojb81]

No, no. I'm correct, as per the norm around here

Lol! Can't believe I rocked out to those losers as a middle school/high school age kid. Ah well, kids don't know shit about shit, anyway, can't really blame myself

The best thing I can say about Petty is that my father liked him...and my father got me into Glenn Miller.

I wish there was a "stupid ass worthless dumb fuck" rating that I could give this post.
