December 12, 20187 yr I love Steve Miller Band. I love Springsteen's lyrics -- the music is "eh" to me.
December 12, 20187 yr (caveat - not sure they were ever considered "great", but since we're mainly talking classic rock here...) I'm a prog rock guy, Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson, Yes, Tull, love some, like others, but god almighty is ELP the most bloated bunch of horseshit I've ever heard. From the Beginning, Lucky Man, Karn Evil 9 single, that's it, everything else is just Keith Emerson jacking off for 20 minutes at a pop. Ugh.

I remember hearing about both Van Halen and Rush getting pressured into sounding more like Bad Company. Fortunately for the soul of rock 'n' roll, neither did.
December 12, 20187 yr Let me be the first to diss U2. Thank you. Edited December 12, 20187 yr by Dolemite
December 13, 20187 yr Several good mentions: Doors, Bad Company Got to add: Santana The whole “hippy forever” flowing robes and “peace, man” stuff just annoys the shit out of me. I don’t know if they’re still touring, but if they are, I hope their airplane crashes into Courtney Barnett’s shitty bus. Edited December 13, 20187 yr by Paul Wesley

December 13, 20187 yr This isn't exactly the concept of the question, but The Who. Don't get me wrong, they are awesome and seminal to rock n will....I guess it's just that I WANT love them more than I actually do when I listen to them. Townshend transcended that band. <sorry, not sorry>

Townshend transcended that band. <sorry, not sorry> I love The Who and I totally agree with this. I always want more after listening to an album. Seconded on Aerosmith and Phish (if anyone thinks Phish is great). Maybe Radiohead but I get why people like them.
December 13, 20187 yr U2 for me as well but somebody beat me by an hour. I remember watching a music doc some years ago ab Guitar Gods w Jimmy Page, The Edge, Jack White, and I forgot the 4th. It was fuckin’ comical. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

December 13, 20187 yr Steve Miller BandThis is my submission, I hated every single song I’ve ever heard by them and yet they were played continuously on FM radio.And the Doors DO NOT SUCK
December 13, 20187 yr The Doors are less "shitty" and more "wildly overrated". Jim Morrison wasn't a genius poet. He was an asshole who took drugs and wrote out all the shit that went through his head while tripping. They also never had a bass player in the band, but clearly had bass guitar on every fucking record. I don't know why that irritates me, but it does.ray manzarek played the bass lines on his rhodes piano bass. He was a badass
December 13, 20187 yr Aqualung is one of the greatest songs ever written. Fight me.Along with Cross Eyed Mary
December 13, 20187 yr I can’t even keep reading this thread with some of the bands people are dissing on up in here.Head starting to explode

December 13, 20187 yr Elvis Costello Half vote for R.E.M.-I can deal with their 80s stuff but they fell off a cliff the minute they put out Losing My Religion.
December 13, 20187 yr Forgot to add Neil Young. Absolutely terrible. Kinda feel the same way about Bob Dylan.

But no one thinks their music is "great," outside of a few catchy tunes. It was the showmanship, the work ethic and the "just having sex with 2 chicks because it's Tuesday" lifestyle that defined them and kinda redefined rock stardom along with it. mostly agree, but thread title was great band and part of being a band is the live show. I don't care how much showmanship a band is capable of, the music has to not suck for them to get an "army" of followers to pay to see their showmanship. And I'm sure some of those morons think Kiss makes the best rock music ever.

December 13, 20187 yr I find The Scorpions supremely unlistenable. I'm sure somebody thinks they're great. They're like the Larry to Darrell (Bon Jovi) and Darrell (Def Leppard). Not sure where Aerosmith fits in there, but they're awful too, which is a shame, because they had a couple of good songs in them.

December 13, 20187 yr So let me get this straight. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, REM, U2, Radiohead. Got it.

And that somebody is wrong. They're behind Bon Jovi, Poison and Warrant. They're behind Winger. Ahead of Nelson, though. Eeeeeeeuuuuagh. There are only two great hair metal bands: VH and GnR. One of these represents the beginning of the genre, the other its last dying gasp. Def Leppard isn't hair metal and anyone who classifies them as such should be clubbed over the head with a Tannoy speaker. They're NWOBHM goddammit.
