Most overrated band of all time

[SAJ-99]

I can’t believe it took 8 pages for Oasis to pop up (unless I missed it). Definately.

British band. You will notice a lot of these bands are British. I think there may be a link there.

Dylan is a genius songwriter. As for his performances….meh…. He took his obsession of Woody Guthrie, mimicked him, and somehow it made him famous

I much prefer Jacob Dylan and the Wallflowers over his old man, I saw them live way back when they were big and it was a great show...

I think for context, every member should edit in their age to their opinion.
This should explain quite a bit.

I think Dylan's initial popularity was more a sign of the changing times. I became a fan when Blood on the Tracks came out.

Mental or physical? I have a 60+ year difference.

What was he famous for?

For beating the music bidness at it's own rigged game and unmistakable badass tight tunes.

See how I’ve stayed out of this one ?
I can’t be wrong if I don’t answer.

Anyone who says Rush is overrated obviously doesn't know anything about music. If you don't like their songs that is one thing. But they are (were) incredible musicians.

I can't believe some of you are calling out 80’s hair bands…..absolutely the best generation of music ever! Tune in to XM channel 39

Definitely masterful musicians and Professor Neil Ellwood Pert set a high bar...but I'm not a fan of their catalogue.

Totally about the look, almost all of it

I also think that because today the money is made on the live tours, and the more extravagant the better, the music has changed to fit that. It makes comparing the eras more difficult and the “storyteller” songwriters are less popular.
