MattyT Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Hootie and the Blowjobs They only got a lot of exposure in sports settings because they mentioned the Dolphins. lol...I remember there was a day really, really early on when I thought Hootie was kind of a cool throwback with blues roots....boy that got shot to sh-- pretty quick
bbb Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 How about any band that an athlete plays in How many people on this thread do not understand the meaning of over-rated?
MattyT Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 How many people on this thread do not understand the meaning of over-rated? In his defense, if you've even heard of a band with an athlete in it, then they are immediately overrated.
grammer_police Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I know this will offend a lot of people, but I'm sorry, it's U2. These guys could barely play their instruments on their 1st few albums. And how can a greatest band ever claim songs like "Sweetest Thing" and "Mysterious Ways?" And come on, Boner wearing dark sunglasses in doors and at night? And "The Edge" with the winter skull cap at all times too? For this they get treated like royalty? I mean, seriously, no ... YES, finally someone with some sense. ROTTEN PHIN GUTS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>U2 I know these won't be popular choices, but I will go Rush, Steely Dan and the Beach Boys... shame on you Beatle bashers! Although I don't hate everything they have ever done, I could also agree with Springsteen and U2... I must disagree about the Beach Boys. Beach Boy albums that are absolute gems (in order of briliance): 1. SMiLE (unreleased 60's version, not the crappy re-make) 2. Pet Sounds 3. Today 4. Surfer Girl 5. LIttle Deuce Coup 6. Shut Down vol 2 7. Summer Days (and summer nights)
bbb Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 In his defense, if you've even heard of a band with an athlete in it, then they are immediately overrated. I certainly can't name a band, and I doubt he can either.

notwoz Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 The list doesn't apply to bands named after two places. Buffalo Springfield was named for a steamroller made by the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company
bbb Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Buffalo Springfield was named for a steamroller made by the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company And, what was the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company named after?
Chef Jim Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 And, what was the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company named after? This thing.
The Dean Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Jethro Tull zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Well, maybe after Thick as a Brick. But before then? Wow.
John Cocktosten Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) 1. SMiLE (unreleased 60's version, not the crappy re-make) This album is unreal. Cabin Essence is one of greatest songs of all time. Edited September 15, 2010 by John Cocktosten
Fan in Chicago Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Jethro Tull zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Me and my Catfish Rising tattoo disagree (and not respectfully so either).
Peace Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Jethro Tull zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz BS. Name another band that could pull off a hard rockin' piccolo.
GG Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I don't think The Doors music has held up very well after all these years, not at all. That's again a personal preference, yet you cannot deny their influence on the post punk and goth movements, which begat all the "cool" bands in the popular vernacular.
truth on hold Posted September 15, 2010 Author Posted September 15, 2010 Janis Joplin made she had a decent track here or there (written by someone else I think), but would you really want to suffer thru an entire album or concert of hers? In that case, does she deserve legendary status?

In that case, does she deserve legendary status? Absolutely. One of the best female blues singers.
