What is your all time favorite rock band or artist that 81% or more of this bored dislikes?

The Police lyrics thread got me thinking of a new idea for a shitty YellowSnow music snob thread /pole.

With that said, what is a band or artist that you think is outstanding and amongst the all time greats that most (i.e., < 81%) here think suck?

For me it's the Grateful Dead which are my all time favorite American rock group. But from what I can gather over the past 1.5 years of research we have no other Dead fans and most are either meh or hate them outright.

People forget how much fun Night Ranger's first two albums were. First concert I evar went to was Tesla opening for Night Ranger at the Concord Pavilion

Saw Europe open for Def Leppard at the Shoreline in 1988. Lep was great, Europe was nothing special

I like Leppard. Europe never did it for me. They had that once song they played the shit out of on the radio. Hated it.

Didn't Tommy Shaw really hate that strummy ballady shit?

Dennis ruined everything by shitting all over Tommy. Fucking Dennis.

That's what he claims when it's convenient for him. More like he didn't like having to sing about robots when I told him to because I had all the #1 hits and he had all the #10-35 hits.

He wrote fucking Boat on the River and many of his 'rockerZ' weren't particularly stellar.

I respect Tommy as a songwriter, singer and teen idol, but you know your place Tommy and it's not in the driver's seat.

love ya!

Your pal,

The most underrated American rock group of the 70s by the way was Big Star. Huge cult favorites out of Memphis but never sold and records.

Ratt had one great album. I have their greatest hits and its too long. Not enough to fill it

Interesting Behind the Music on them.

You have to respect them though. Pretty sure the only LA Hair Metal band that cared enough about their craft to have a guy actually die from the FBA.

The wife and her best friend are huge dead fans. I honestly had zero interest until I saw them live. I can only imagine how much better they must have been before their current line up.

Bad Religion. First album I ever bought for myself was by them. Still makes me want to get into a pit.

Stevie Nicks and Don Henly "Leather and Lace." If I could turn one woman's voice into a vagina and fuck it, I'd pick Stevie Nicks.
This song made my all time play list

I had a vinyl collection , a CD collection and now I'm downloading my all time play list. Around 300 songs

Its not really bout what is greatest - songs from the 60's and 70's hardly make it since i have heard them thousands of times.

It songs I am not burned out on that I still enjoy when fucked up.
I hear you on the burn out factor of songs you've heard too many time (and for more decades than many of us). The great thing about today's streaming technology is I'm still finding recordings by the 50's, 60's and 70's that I had no idea of 20 years ago in college.

I still love Paint it Black even though I've listened to it thousands of tims. I can remember the first time my father played his vinyl copy. To me, it's a song that was so ahead of it's time and the production still holds up to contemporary music.

Fuck this thread. I've wasted about ~~three~~ fourteen hours watching youtube videos.

Here's one that will get no play but absurdly good. The blonde gave me a boner in '91. Still does.

My first concert was Grand Funk Railroad in like 1970. My mom drove us to Seattle

I love Def Leppard. I only started listening to then this century so its still kind of new

I spent the 80's listening to funk and dance music

Jerry Garcia was the Grateful Dead. No Jerry, no Dead; it's just some surviving members who love touring and god bless 'em, but it's not the same. I never got to see them live before he died in '95. I would have had to catch them on tour when I was in HS and I was a sheltered SLOW STRATEGY kid who probably wouldn't have been a good fit at Dead show. By college I would have been fine and smoked weed and talked shit.

The Eagles may be hated enough by now to qualify

80's hair metal too
Ratt. Severely underrated.
Fuck.

I hate it when you have a solid poast.
This explains your prolonged absence. That, and the travel ban.
Travel ban???

No way I’m more concerned about deportation vato...

Trump ain’t a friend of my kind ...
Sledog? That you? There is something oddly familiar about your comebacks.

Not sure if this is some odd spit roast fantasy of yours.
