ROLLING STONES
LED ZEPPELIN
VAN HALEN

My question is not which of these giants you guys think is the best...but which is the MOST OVER-RATED, or should NOT be in this prestigious list.

My choice would be the Beatles, because they're early stuff was awful, and they never really did learn to play their instruments. Also John Lennon is full of shit, more of a business genius than a rock god.

So Vote for which of these bands is the WORST!


never learn to play their instruments?
I certainly disagree...
John lennon was a fantastic composer (that can't be denied) and harrison was a great guitar player.
ringo and paul got the job done...

Re: The Great 7 bands

Van Halen are overrated as hell. I could name many bands that are way better, but I'd be cold until I can finish the list.

to Nalepa: you're kidding. Beatles are a bit overrated, but Lennon was a genius and saying that they can't play their instruments is just ********. The now pop artists compared to them can't play ANY instruments at all and most of them can't even sing.

Re: The Great 7 bands

The Rolling Stones are just beating the money cow, because they can. They could have faded into nonexistence a long time ago, and left a good legacy, but they're still just trying to milk it for what it's worth. Also, Keith Richards had might as well go back to the cemetary he escaped from, because he's really not a pretty sight. Now, whoever disses the Who has a problem with me, because they are the greatest rock band in the world! Just watch the Kids are Alright, and you'll like them too!

Re: The Great 7 bands

I voted for Van Halen, again, for the reason that nothing they did really stands out as great for me. Also, Led Zep is overrated. Zep may have helped the advance of heavier music, but IMO, Plant's voice is downright annoying on some songs. Again, that's just my opinion... I'll probably be crucified for saying that, but oh well.

I never minded Van Halen.


But everyone needs to piss off about the Beatles, seriously.
