Wow , I have created a monster. I thought a few that really didnt deserve it would show up , but , dadgum this is getting rediculous. Led? The original Van Halen? The Beatles? and now the Stones?


The Beatles deserve it more than any band ever. Look up overrated in the dictionary, you'd see the Sgt. Peppers album cover.

I'll give them credit as elevator music pioneers, but not rock pioneers or songwriting geniuses. I lack the desire to hear an effeminate man's lame acid trip stories set to a soundtrack of mediocre to horrible music. Goo goo ga joob.

Stones are a bit overrated I'll admit, but they don't deserve to be on the list.

Turrible.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

Not turrible.
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom, but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after love dies
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Turrible.
We all live in yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

Not turrible.
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Springsteen really? He's the total package. Rights music, lyrics, plays it on a pile of instruments, sings it wails it. And it all sounds Great! No way he's overrated. The correct answer is the Beatles, but I'd like to add the name of another band that has sucked since about 1985. Aerosmith sucks. I can't stand that wanna be scat crappin Tyler. They have released the same album over and over again with new repackaged lyrics ever since Permanent Vacation. My god they suck. If you die and go to hell there will be apes on horseback riding around keeping order, you will be painting a wall with a two inch brush, and Aerosmith will be played over the radio.

I absolutely love the Beatles. And all four artists individual works. But I understand why some of you don't. It's all relative.

My contribution...

Katy Perry. Yes, she's new, but I'm already tired of hearing about her. I'll also second Kenny Chesney. Seems like all of his songs are about the exact same thing.

Off subject, but I heard a pretty good one the other day. It may be old, but it was something to the point of "If you play a country song backwards, your dog comes back to live, your girlfriend comes back, and your truck starts working again."

I'm on the fence on Springsteen. I haven't heard much of his newer stuff, but I absolutely LOVE "Working On a Dream."

Steven Tyler has some ties here in the Tulsa area. Some of my buddies saw him at a gunshow several yrs ago. They went to a table where he was going to buy something from another friend of ours. They said "hey Steven can we get an autograph?" He told them NO! That kind of pissed everyone off that they were glad to see him and he was acting like a total asshat. Then he pulled out his checkbook and started to pay for the item he was buying. My buddy that was running the table said"looks like we are going to get his autograph after all". He stopped writing the check and went and got his wife to sign it. What a total douche bag. Then when everybody was leaving the show he was outside signing autographs for people. Double douche bag. Yeah I wont say anything if someone wants to dis his band and music.
