The Five Most Overrated Classic Rock Artists

Maybe, but sadly, that's not the Journey I know. If I ever hear Don't Stop Believing again, I will blow my brains out with my 10 gauge.

You must have lost your virginity to a boy.

You must have lost your virginity to a boy.

There was this boy named @gobigred who came home from school one day and said to his dad, "I had sex with my teacher today."
His dad said, "Son, you're a little too young for that, but I'm proud of you, come on, I'm gonna buy you dinner and a new bicycle.

So they ate dinner at a steakhouse and went to the bike store and @gobigred picked out his new bike. After @gobigred 's dad paid the cashier he said, "So, @gobigred so you want to ride back home with me, or take your new bike home?"

@gobigred said, "We better just put the bike in the trunk for now, dad, my ass is still sore."

 

[Chewbaccer]

Little Feat might top my list for underrated.

I see Van Halen keeps popping up so I will attempt to convey my personal thoughts:

Below, you will see/hear - Eruption. At the time and for a while, it was the de facto piece to at determine the "godliness" of a guitarist; if you could pull off (pardon the pun) Eruption, then you had "tapped" into the status of guitar hero/god (well not really, but hear me out here).

Now, if you really listen to this critically, you will notice that apart from about twenty seconds at the 1 minute mark, there isn't really any discernible melody whatsoever happening in this piece. It's about 2 minutes of noodling - highly technical noodling at that - and then some trite classical tapping licks to close out on.

To be honest, I find most of EVH's solos to fit the build of what I was just eluding to -- lotsa flash without a lotta substance.

Don't get me wrong here; I actually do like quite a few VH tunes but I'll just say it here -- EVH is over-rated.

Flame away and may god have mercy on my soul.

KISS is a given...too easy

Aerosmith
AC/DC
Bruce Springsteen, cuz even tho he's been mentioned, he deserves to be again
Van Halen

Van Halen changed the hard rock scene completely, whether you liked it or not.

Bruce is a more commonly palatable extension of Dylan IMO. Not my cup of tea, but not going to rip him.

Aerosmith is arguably the biggest American hard rock band of all time.

I can see naming AC/DC due to their "consistency" to put it nicely.

I love Kiss, but can see the argument.
