Most overrated bands

Well, duh! Dylan picks his opening act. It’s not an accident. Of course he would say something good about Beck. Geez! Of course, Dylan has also said good things about Ricky Nelson, Booby Vee and The Sir Douglas Quintet. 

Uh, yeah, I know, Geoff. That was my point. Hel-loo! I, like Bob, love Ricky Nelson (he is dismissed as a lightweight by R & R historians), Bobby Vee (whom Dylan played with before leaving Minnesota), and Doug Sahm. Beck? Nope, sorry. Mediocre songs, not much of a singer (c’mon, you know it’s true ;-), haphazard accompaniment.

Neil Young after he quit smoking pot about the time of his brain aneurysm around 2005. Since then a few flashes of brilliance but basically just a steady release of less then stellar work compared to before.

Dylan enjoys putting people on. Fair enough? 😛 I like She’s About a Mover and Rubber Ball as much as the next guy, but come on! As far as Beck goes, I suspect it’s a generation thing. 😀

I saw Bob play live many times & enjoyed every concert. Whenever I took one of my kids with me they were not nearly as impressed (even though they've been listening to him since literally in the womb), so it could be a generational thing. One of the best shows was right before or just after he released "Tempest". My Morning Jacket & Wilco headlined for Bob on that one. Excellent show all the way through.
