Is classic rock overrated?

Classic rock is overrated because its nature makes it inherently so. The Beetles or The Doors become overrated through their being overplayed which subsequently makes it over-popularized which results in its being overrated.

There is so much more music which gets swept under the rug because these mega-popular groups overshadow smaller bands that are just as meaningful.

The Doors of the 1960s is the Ke$ha of 2011.

Prove me wrong.

    OK you asked for it,,,it is spelled Beatles,no I don't care for the Doors/ But I do respect them.Classic rock is just what it is Classic.When you get older and the pee on your britches dries,what you like now will some day become Classic rock..The difference between you and I ,my pimple faced friend ,is I had the privilege of living through the Classic rock era that shaped every thing you hear today.ALL of what you hear today has it's roots in the past.NO MATTER how big or small the band,they were all influenced by the past!PROVE ME WRONG

    ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME. First of all please do not ever compare classic rock to kesha ever again. Number one. Classic rock was long before kesha. It was mostly written music by the people who sang it. Was not autotuned or voice changed in anyway. It was real. IT made music what it is today. It is not overrated in anyway at ALL. It is played over and over again because they are songs that will live forever. They are EPIC. AMAZING. AWESOME! UNIQUE. You will never hear anything like it again. It was everything to the people who listened to it back then and it got them through the lives they were living back then. There is no way you could say that classic rock it bad. Hell listen to the words. Its nothing like music today. Music today is not about the songs its about how pretty and sexy and who can wear the least amount of clothes and have the most intercourse in every video. Look at the guys of classic rock! ugly ugly ugly.....UGLY..it was there music people loved not who was wearing what and who had the best makeup and shoes that made them popular. Listen to Janis Joplin....Beatles....Eagles....Bad company.....Fleetwood mac.....Pink Floyd. This music is amazing and even I at 19 years old can love it and appreciate it far more then any other genre out there and would rather throw on some old time rockin roll then poker face anyday. So please if you have any brains at all give it a try because it ROCCCKKKSS!!

    Yes classic rock is over-rated, but calling the doors, "the 60's answer to Ke$ha" is just freakin retarded, I thought you were serious up till then but now you've revealed the troll-y-ness of the question.

    I say classic rock is over-rated because of all the current bands who are equally good, yet I've never met a person that knows who they are.

    Prove you wrong? I'll do it right now by saying THE $HITTY MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO WOULDN'T BE AROUND IF IT WASN'T FOR CLASSIC ROCK.

    dip$hit

    Also, Ke$ha won't be around in 40 years. Jim Morrison's soul lives through each one of his fans.
