The Beatles.
They blow chunks.
Journey is awesome. And I do like at least one song from kiss and U2.I think U2s body of work stands for itself not under or over rated in my opinion. KISS is awesome if you take them for what they are.
Journey, on the other hand, sucks.
Agreed. And also The Beatles were pioneers for much of the rock music that followed for many decades. Look at their old photographs, all basic equipment, 4 members, no electronics etc. All music back then was so basic. Most all was 3 cord sets.this is 'gonna be age specific....us old guys will live and die by the 60's and early 70's.

I knew I would strike a chord by saying Skynyrd is overrated. I think maybe it's not that they are overrated, but instead they are overplayed around here. Classic rock stations have about a 90 minute rotation, so you can expect to hear "Sweet Home Alabama" at least four times during the work day, with random insertions of "Freebird". Back in the day, when my wife was a bartender at a karaoke bar, we'd hear drunken renditions of many Skynyrd standards on a nightly basis. Sometimes the same song two and three times. It really tends to turn you off certain bands.
I have nothing against those who like Skynyrd. I have to give the guys credit, and I have loads of respect for them, for still being around. Not too many bands could recover from what they went through in the 70s. They came back, and they made themselves bigger than ever. More power to them. I just don't really like to listen to them.
Oh man, that concert was terrible.. and I walked out at the start of the second song! I was aware of the early CT as my older sister was a big fan so I heard them all and boy, that band needs to hang it up before they lose all their old fans. It took me about a minute to even recognize that first song it was so bad. A terrible choice, they should have opened with "Dream Police" so people would recognize who they were. Yeah, White stripes are pretty edgy, definetly a love or hate band....Cheap Trick - saw them live once at the Long Beach Grand Prix and the lead singer opened their show screaming they were "the best rock and roll band ever". Meh.
