Date: November 21st, 2017 12:51 PM Author: puce affirmative action Ritchie Valens gets mentioned too much in my opinion. I shouldn't even know who he is. He recorded a Spanish folk song and that gay "Donna" ballad. Did he even do anything else?
Joan Baez gets mentioned all the time. She is all over any 60s rock documentary that you watch. I think that a bunch of the male rock stars just wanted to fuck her, which put her in the mix more than she should have been.
CCR has just always sounded like throwaway music to me. Songs all sound the same. I could easily do without ever hearing a CCR song again. There are some really important songs in there, though, so I'm probably wrong on CCR. |
|
Date: November 21st, 2017 1:02 PM Author: Violet home Joan Baez is a folk artist though -- not classic rock. I can't recall ever hearing one of her songs on my local classic rock station growing up. And Valens is mentioned, like Santana, because he is latino and we love diversity. |

YES.
Nah, he was decent, and I don't think he gets very much acclaim in the first place.
Not really overrated if they aren't rated much at all.
Way overrated.
I don't like them so I'm inclined to agree, but there's an argument to be made that they were incredibly creative and foundational for a lot of other bands.
HELL NO, CCR IS EXCELLENT. UNDERRATED IF ANYTHING. |

It depends on where you try to put the Who. Sometimes I hear them referred to as one of the most important - on the Stones level - which is fucking crazy. I tend to agree that they are a bit overrated. |

|
Date: November 22nd, 2017 1:39 AM Author: Adventurous Startling Center Eh. Depends on why you think they're overrated.
Beatles/Stones/Beach Boys did so many things FIRST, and then other people refined it. So it kinda makes sense that they lose some of their apparent luster as time goes on. For instance, without the Beatles, you don't have Pink Floyd.
I think that they're far from overrated in a critical sense, but that's partially because I think that the debate over "greatest band" is not as closed as everyone here seems to believe; people argue Stones > Beatles all the time. Plus, they made several songs that were really good across a wide range of criteria. |

Clapton is the foundation for everyone from Hendrix to Allman Brothers. He could do power chords (e.g. most of his Cream stuff), he could do soft stuff (Let it Rain), and everything in between. Plus, he had a head for writing good music. Sunshine of Your Love is a very good example of something just sounding good because the notes are just well written. |
