Who would you say is the most overrated Classic Rock Band/Artist?

Eric Clapton

No I was just kidding about Eric Clapton is still under rated as far as musicians go!

Can't possible give him enough praise!

I say Cold Play right now but I also think Pink Floyd and Lad Zeppelin get too much praise in some songs and not enough for others!

And many of the so called Thrash metal bands today that play the same song over and over! If I wanted to hear that I would be watching and listening to rap. At least the scenery is better!!

Compare the two.

Guys with long unbrushed hair in mosh pits.

Girls with big butts in the hood.

I'll go back to Frank Sinatra if that was my two choices!

I don't think any are overrated. Just cause a lot of people like band over another does not make them overrated. Only time I see a band overrated is when they are put into a different style of music as the Beatles being put into rock which they were nor and never were. They were a pop band over all and that's what made them the best in that field. I think a lot of bangs get overrated by young people today when they listen to classic rock, cause the most the hear form are bands like, the beatles, rolling stones, led zeppelin, the who, black sabbath, they don't hear enough of the other bands from that era. It's not a put down by me on the young fans of music today. When I grew up in the 60's we are our favorites but we did not overrate them all that much over our bands of our time. Even music and bands from today in thirty years which now are popular will be called by a new generation of kid as overrated music as will. So sit back and take it easy and let people say what they want. I only appricate people who love music just for music.

Kiss Rush Judas Priest Bon Jovi

Amazing isn't it, how many people don't understand just what 'Classic Rock' is...

I'd have to go with :~

The Doors

sorry, I could never understand what everyone thinks is so great about them.

But I'd also second Bruce Springsteen.

{I do like a few of his songs, but the rest just sound the same}

[letithappen] :

Maybe you're just listening to the wrong era of Fleetwood Mac.

The Peter Green era {1967 - 1970} sounds totally different to the Buckingham Nicks era {post-1975}. And then there's the bit between the two ~ the 'transition era'...

Without a doubt Kiss.

I wouldn't consider them a classic rock band or artists.

So I guess I would say Jefferson Airplane.

Bruce Springsteen, The Boss of Mediocrity

Bruce Springsteen

I was never a fan and could not understand all of the hype. The guy is mediocre at best.

Wow, these ppl don't apreciate music (except for the guy who says bon jovi is overated). N to the girl who doesn't like Dylan: listen to his lyrics u air-headed bimbo

The Beatles.

Jimi Hendrix, followed by the Doors.

Neither was as good as THEY thought they were.

BTW, most of the answers aren't classic rock...like Bon Jovi.
