The Five Most Overrated Classic Rock Artists

[kburjr]

The Doors had a handful of really great songs, but most of their album tracks were trash. At least the ones I've heard.

Very, very few bands if any made great songs every time. Most never made a great song.

Some bands were constantly turning out great songs, whether they were top 40 singles or album tracks: Credence Clearwater Revival, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the later incarnation(s) of Fleetwood Mac.

The main issue with The Doors is their short career. 1965-1971(with Morrison as singer). Sill, they were the first American act with 8 consecutive Gold and Platinum LPs.

Leon Redbone. Definitely not overrated. Last seen singing a duet with Zooey Deschanel. Punches his time clock today at age 69. Well done, Leon. Safe journeys to the next existence.

I liked pretty much every Eagle song on their first three albums. Some of their tracks that didn't get worn out on the radio were actually better than the ones that were worn out (Outlaw Man, Duelin Dalton, Ol 55).

I also liked just about every track on Marshall Tucker first three albums. The Caldwell brothers died way too young.

I think we all have bands that resonate. Early Lynyrd Skynyrd is mine. Not a bad song to be heard before the Crash.

I saw Leon open for Carlin back in the 80s and I loved him. He was having a couple of Rolling Rocks on the stage...

Back before community property I owned a couple of Leon Redbone albums. Now all I have is his Christmas CD. Play it a lot during the season.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion I suppose.

 

[Chewbaccer]
