I like your list a lot...

Aerosmith I love, especially their 70's stuff but yeah since Nine Lives everything pretty much sucks and its the same recipe. Gets old.

I think Pearl Jam is overrated. Road the grunge wave but how many seminal songs did they really have?

+1

Ill take Nirvana, STP, AIC, Soundgarden, hell, even Screaming Trees and Smashing Pumpkins before PJ. I have only seen PJ and the Pumpkins live.

Probably my most favorite band ever. I don't see how this is possible.

It`s possible for the simple reason.....I`m me and you`re you.

Case closed!

I see someone above says Pearl Jam...I actually like Pearl Jam.

But I`m not going to question the guys point of view.

To each is own.

Why does Pink Floyd always seems to get mentioned as overrated? They transcend era's. Not many bands can say that.

Nirvana always seems to make the lists of best and worst. I don't really have an opinion of them other than they are a band that hit at the right time with the right sound. They wouldn't even be discussed as much if Cabain didn't get murdered (I mean suicide wink wink)

Kiss may very well be around forever as a business.

It it isn't the band members that sustain them. It is the characters. There are already 2 replacements, no reason gene and Paul cannot be replaced.

100 years from now grandsons may be managing this conglomerate with employees playing the music of yesterday.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you've never tried acid. Case Opened

LMAO

Bourn, back when I was 18 and never tried acid or shrooms, I disliked Floyd, cause I only had The Wall on my record collection, and their other known radio song was Money, with only those 2 songs serving as introduction for them I understand now why I didnt like em being an alternative rock/punk rock guy myself... Then I met one of my best friends and we made shrooms, and watched Live at Pompeii on one of those shroom afternoons... he had the entire catalogue... and so I went and listened to Obscured by Clouds, Meddle, and Animals, numerous times.

Music in my eyes was changed forever. They are not overrated NO WAY. They deserve the mysticism around them even if you are not a fan. Same can be said about the Stones and the Beatles, and even Nirvana. You may dislike em, but you gotta admit, they nailed it.
