Most overrated rock star

[Ricky Roma]

I was going to leave this alone because Zep is one of my favorite groups. But I just can't. It would be like me equating Richards' and Page's guitar skills and saying they're just different styles.

The Stones.. Jagger primarily, wrote about real things in a smart, rude often wickedly funny way. It's a large part of what separated the from The Beatles early on. Their lyrics can stand alone. Some of them have become part of the cultural language.

Zep's lyrics, Plant's primarily, are mostly a lot of spacey nonsense with some Tolkien and mythological references tossed in at times to make them appear more than they are... and those are the more interesting ones.

The Stones lyrics often raised their songs to another level. The only purpose for Zep's were that they needed some words.

Fair enough. I don't think I would just chalk up Zep's lyrics as 'nonsense' IMO, and besides....when it came to lyrics period, I wouldn't put either LZ or RS on a Dylan/Lennon/Waters level anyways.

You realize you just kind of wrote a country song right there?

There actually was a time many years back where my dog died my girl left me and my truck wouldn't start.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Thanks for explaining, I was worried he was liked by non suburbanite college kids, I feel better now...

I am here for you

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Throwing this out for the thread to consider:

Guns and Roses?

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

If this were the 60's your ball sack wouldn't be submerged in toilet water daily.

Are you always this big of a fag?

Fucking worthless Millennials.

 

[Voltaire26]

Not a Beatles fan, but I do respect the advances they pioneered in music production, song writing, and marketing.

I just dont consider them a rock band...more pop

Your Right ... I just don't here the similarity to Britney Spears

 

[TheStarOne]

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

Journey. Fucking hate song they've ever performed.

You're not very bright, are you?

The Beatles are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a band.
The Beatles are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as individuals
The Beatles music is critically acclaimed. Generally speaking, 2 or 3 of their albums are considered in the top ten of the BEST EVER. SGT Pepper is usually considered the BEST EVER.
Steve Jobs stole many design elements from the Beatles. And he wanted the Beatles catalogue of music for the centerpiece of Itunes.
And oh by the way. Who has sold more pieces of music than the Beatles..... worldwide?
And the Beatles music is the most covered, by other artists.

Try to keep up, from now on.

 

[TheStarOne]

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

NO........wrong as usual

You need a tissue because someone doesn't like a band that you like?

Cry moar, bitch.

 

[TheStarOne]

Springsteen is shit, Prince is shit... they can both stay out of my catalogue

It could be you don't have any taste in music

 

[TheStarOne]

Respectfully disagree ... I love a lot of his music, but I can do without his political preaching.

It could be that is who Bruce is...
You can't separate a person from their beliefs, to ease your conscious. That's what makes Bruce who he is.
I'm always amused at conservatives, who listen to or admire liberal artists.

 

[Thruthefog]

CCR. They had 5 or 6 good songs, but the rest was low level swamp rock. Totally overrated.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Fucking worthless Millennials.

Agreed.

In fairness there are a lot of folks in the Rock and Roll HOF who should not be. Run DMC anyone? or for that matter any rapper or hip hop artist.

Just as I am amazed at liberals who let their rock stars influence their politics.
