Dont try to turn this on me, I can play , i can write , I can do anything . But the one thing I cant do is listen to you stick up for buckley, never got into cry baby music. I sure his music got you thru your break up with your sister, Have you been in a band , played any shows ? Im sure they rocked , maybe you can do buckley covers down by the river . just make sure to throw yourself in after buddy
Ok, I never said that you CAN'T play, write, perform, etc. I was just asking. And I'll take your word for it that you are telling the truth about being able to "do anything" which I think sounds a bit egotistical. And yes, I've been in bands, performed publically, recorded, etc. I like to consider myself pretty decent but I don't think I would have ever been able to get anywhere with it because I have to devote to much time to work and grad school. That doesn't necessarily make me an expert but I was just implying that having that experience makes an opinion about music a little more credible. If you don't like Buckley, fine. Is it just because you think his lyrics are whiney? Can you not at least admit that his voice is pretty remarkable? And his songs are musically well written?

If you don't know how Steely Dan got that name, look it up. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
its the name of a woman penis.
Even Eddie Money was better than the Eagles. Only Phil Collins can give the Eagles a run for massive success versus complete lack of good songs.

i'll go along with most of that list. but i don't understand how you can ignore queen for vocalist. freddie mercury was an incredible singer, classical or rock.
steve perry from journey has a great voice, whether you like journey or not
The Kinks were the greatest band of all-time ...not even so much for their early hits as for the amazing body of songwriting Ray Davies accomplished later on, much of it during years when for complex legal reasons, the Kinks were stuck in Britain and couldn't tour here.

Overall a very respectable list, except for the inclusion of Paul Rodgers among vocalists. Bad Company was terrible and he shoulders a lot of the blame. Free, too. Gak! He would have been better in your "Overrated" group.
Your list is only good if classic rock is your thing. Really, are there any classic rock artists you hate?
And why put 50 Cent, Shania Twain, and Celine Dion on it? That's apples and oranges. List a few more overrated classic rock bands and musicians, if you please. Shouldn't be hard!
The only thing you left out was ..... you . You overrated yourself ,
The Eagles are better than Nirvana.
Three classic bands that never get the respect they deserve - Love with Arthur Lee, Spirit, and, yes, the Sensational Alex Harvey Band
sensational huh, Alex Harvey works with Hammas.
Different Alex Harvey. This one's dead. Actually, the rest of them just regrouped as SAHBWAH....the Sensational Alex Harvey Band Without Alex Harvery.
And I think after 220 posts on this thread, we can concur that whether or not the Eagles were the worst band ever, they were SUFFICIENTLY bad, and they get bonus points for the way they treated Don Felder.
No, they were worse than sufficiently bad. They were an outrage to humanity.
Why do people keep mentioning Brad Delp as a "great singer"? You are making the very common mistake of equating the ability to hit high notes with being a good singer. Brad Delp doesn't even have much range. He just sings a little higher than most. If he was a woman, you'd think he had an ordinary voice. But because he's a man, people are like, Oh God! He's so gifted! But he sucks, and Boston sucks. They're basically just Air Supply with a little more emphasis on guitars.
Man, fuck this thread. The Eagles are dope. "Hotel California" is one of the coolest things ever done on guitars and the acoustic "Hell Freezes Over" version is even sicker. "Life in the Fast Lane" is perfect while speeding on some lonely stretch of highway, especially if your diving some car with an old-school looking panel. "Take it Easy" is the only country song I can even sit through without having to check myself into a mental hospital. "All Night Long" from the Live album is my single favorite song to listen to while high, and that's coming from someone who has a taste for rap.
So, all you haters can suck my motherfuckin' dick.
The Eagles rock, sluts!
P.S. I admit that new stuff is disgraceful, so let's just leave that out of it.
