And the band was *tight*!< I view the hype on Nirvana the same way I view it for Sprinsteen -- Newsweek had him supplanting Bob Dylan as the voice of a generation before he had any hits..never like him. no problem on Dylan- people either get him or no-- I have seen him 6 times in concert and he is larger than life...maybe it's an age thing -- I am 51 and for me the man represents a lot. Tull in concert is amazing ( 14 shows I have seen since 1972 ) - he knows how to put on a concert..and entertain for sure

Jim Croce Overrated (Or, just because everyone else likes them doesn’t mean that I have to.) Nirvana Pink Floyd Bob Dylan The Doors Underrated: Black Sabbath w/Ronnie James Dio. “Heaven and Hellâ€, greatest Sab album ever. Van Hagar, as good a frontman as DLR, could sing DLR’s rear out of any arena, and laid down some of their heaviest material. And most importantly saved VH from becoming a glorified cover band. Iron Maiden, 75 million albums and I can count on one hand the times I’ve heard them on the radio. Scorpions Grand Funk Railroad Worst Songs Ever: Hey Jude Layla Fool in the Rain
