Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R.


I nominate
#1 KISS (What is R&R hall of fame after all?)
#2 Jonn Bon Jovi (actually can share same spot with Kiss)
#3 Rolling Stones (mostly they just don't make sense and hardly ever I can note of anyone being any good there)

Agree on 1 and 2. But Stones are all-time top 3 in pop after Beatles and Dylan.
Czarivey, The Stones are a rock band and what one would now call a garage rock band. Rock is not necessarily supposed to be sophisticated or technically difficult and rock singers do not have opera quality voices. It's about getting those primal juices flowing, getting yer ya-yas out.

That said, there are probably lots of people who like rock but not the Stones. Everybody has different tastes. I love early to 70s Stones but I do think it's time for them, along with a lot of other classic rockers, to hang it up before they become pathetic.
Exile on Main Street is one of the best rock records of all time. Maybe like too 5.
I enjoy quality of musicias and don't care what style of music it is. Can't say anythng even simiar to Velvet Underground, The Band, The Who, Led Zeppelin -- they're just great.
Facts described here about RS speak for themselves.
None argues that RS are primitive and terrible musicians and yet, they're very popular and reached R&R hall of fame.
All of these facts are the facts of them being way way overrated. Math can make sophisticated arguments simpler especially to the question "Why Rolling Stones?" ..
