Well he got KISS right but that was really an easy one.

He's wrong about The Doors.

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

Video never really explains why The Doors are over-rated, other than - he doesn't like them.

Kiss was more or less a marketing scheme so by default, it should be the most over-rated, based on the success generated.

I don't think there's a Neil Young fan out there that gives a crap whether or not he's a good guitar player; much like Bob Dylan fans couldn't give a crap about Bob Dylans lack of real musicianship. This doesn't make either over-rated.

At any rate, the title of the video should really have been -- Well Known Classic Artists That I Just Couldn't Get Into.

1. Queen
2. Journey
3. U2
4. Van Halen
5. Beach Boys

I think the Beatles are overrated, but not overrated enough to make my top 5, and my stance has softened quite a bit on them the last few years.

Not sure how KISS is overrated when you all seem to dislike them. KISS is an experience, it's about the show, nobody ever said they were great musicians.

Are you tone deaf?

Depends on who you are rating them against and by what metrics.

Before Steve Perry came and pufta'd the band up a bit, Journey were a decent band with some cool jazzy leanings.

 

[Chewbaccer]

He sucks.

Yeah, he wrote most of his own songs, I can see why someone like you wouldn't like him.

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.
