Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R.


I nominate
#1 KISS (What is R&R hall of fame after all?)
#2 Jonn Bon Jovi (actually can share same spot with Kiss)
#3 Rolling Stones (mostly they just don't make sense and hardly ever I can note of anyone being any good there)

Bojack, I usually prefer to be stoned over any trips or alcohole.
Anyone who understands music would tell same about this band.
No bright side anywhere except marketting and certainly overmarketting their glamour.
Terrible vocal(s) blended with primitive music chaotically blended onto the whole band on most of albums. Sticky Fingers is OK at most as an exception.
Ti-i-i-ime is on my side -- Yes it-i-is!
And finally, after all It's my dislike of the artist that I think shouldn't be that high of a rating.
I enjoy quality of musicias and don't care what style of music it is. Can't say anythng even simiar to Velvet Underground, The Band, The Who, Led Zeppelin -- they're just great.
Facts described here about RS speak for themselves.
None argues that RS are primitive and terrible musicians and yet, they're very popular and reached R&R hall of fame.
All of these facts are the facts of them being way way overrated. Math can make sophisticated arguments simpler especially to the question "Why Rolling Stones?" ..
Was 3-dog ever rated any descent?
Only last year they were inducted to R&R hall of Fame hek knows for what reason. This Hall of Fame really turns into Hall of Shame.
This and that given, explained, presented. I agree they're cool, have few good songs, another this and that further down the road -- agree!
But I still still feel that they're overrated.
Lindisfarne, as you may know, the site has technical problems and amateur crew supporting it. As I was typing some letters did go wrong or didn't go to the screen at all no matter how many times i tried to type them. We ain't talkin'bout gramma here dood after all.
If you haven't heard better guitarist than Mick Taylor, Good 4U, coz I did and plenT and not only rokk. Can any of them match the skill of Jimi or FZ I'd highly highly doubt it.
After all they're all celebrities so let them b and let me b 2
U R also free to specify any other band or performer you think is ovegreated instead of accusing me atcacking Drolling stones.
Excuse my wrong spelling dorn.
If G&R get rid of Axel Rose, they'll be very descent indeed taken into consideration skillful Slash.

Metallica stepped into era of the tasteless, plain and 'rectangular'(imho) southern rock and did things different with presence of talent, skills, workmanship and shows.

Not knowing that RS crowd is sooo defensive towards their beloved maestros Keith Richard, Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, Mick Taylor, I can only imagine how southern rock crowd would be defensive towards Alman Brothers, Boston, Aerosmith, Kansas etc!

I would like to know who the people who feel that the stones and springsteen don't belong in the ROCK AND ROLL hall of fame feel should be there. You are taking issue with two of the most influential live and recorded artists of all time.
So where those imbeciles and heretics should be including me?
Martykl, in my comment about being defensive I thought it's clearly visible that you're not on this picture being defensive, but rather informative and argumentative. It's totally different.
Many people believe certain artists are overrated for certain reasons, but bottom line is that practically any popular artist including R&R artist is somewhat overrated and not as good as one actually is.
All folks who don't listen or don't like Stones, Dylan and Beatles usually have very bad taste in music and in rock'n'roll in particular. How come you don't listen to the most recorded music in the World?
True about Aerosmith regardless of their trips and wrists full of crack-cocain. Rod Stewart is unique performer sucked anywhere he's ever been weather as side performer or solo. He's often or even always out of key (problems with hearing for music I guess). I'd say same about Mick Jagger that spoils Rolling Stones. Instrumentally they're OK.
