    Don't have one specific song in mind as far as overrated/overplayed goes, but I can't stand reggae. I think there's actually only one reggae song and all the others are just minor variations of the same dull beat.

        Ford, Sammy didn't fire Dave. Sammy came in and did exactly what Ed and Al needed him to do - write some lyrics and make Ed happy. Sammy ain't the enemy. Ed sucked Sam's cock absolutely raw. So enough of the Sam bullshit. Ed thought it was good. Ed cashed all the checks. Ed fucking LOVED IT.

            Looks like it.... though in reality, he's not playing anything at all. And I don't just mean because they're lip syncing for the video, but because the Ohio Express - like many bubblegum groups of the era - never actually played on their own records. And the "singer" is lip syncing to a vocal that he didn't even sing in the studio..... some studio hack named Joey Levine did.

              Speaking of reggae, I just listened to a bunch of shitty music myself such as:

              Tutti Frutti - Little Richard
              Young Bride - Midlake
              Mr. Brown - Bob Marley & His Whale Killers
              Madman Running Through The Fields - Dantalian's Chariot
              Hit The Road Jack - Big Youth
              Galileo (Someone Like You) - Declan O'Rourke
              Sufferer - The Kingstonians
              Glory Of Love - Big Bill Broonzy
              Friday Street - Paul Weller

              And the list keeps going.

                Can't believe you'd even say that...just when I thought there was at least some musical taste somewhere in you...
                I love Steely Dan. I'm going to drink scotch whiskey all night long and die behind the wheel on the way to see the babylon sisters and hell no I'm never going back to my old high school.

                  You do realize the "Babylon Sisters" is a reference to Los Angeles and San Francisco?

                    Surprised you dislike them. There was some great musicianship going on in Steely Dan.

                      Santana. Overrated. Was definitely overplayed when that ham-fisted "Smooth" song with the Matchbox 20 guy came out.

                        Bruce Springsteen. I never saw what was so great about him. He was known to put on long concerts and play to physical exhaustion. You never hear about the guy anymore. Thank God.

                          Santana wrote one great song and then called it different names and played it over and over. Hear one Santana song, you've heard them all.

                            Steely Dan were professional studio musicians. Guys who actually could read music and knew the theory behind it. Not easy music the play. A lot is going on in a Steely Dan song. The lyrics are unique and so is the music.

                              The Police were three excellent musicians who purposefully played below their potential and used various marketing gimmicks to have a music career. If they played to their full potential and acted like stuck up jazz musicians nobody would have given a ratt's ass about them and they would stave. The Police was a marketing gimmick developed to appeal to what was going on in London in the early 70's. Once you become popular in London you can be marketed in the states as something unique from Europe. The fake image and blonde hair and the dumbed down music drove Sting nuts. I think Andy got tired as well. Stewart had fun. He kick ass drummed during the dumbed, down dumb ass song regardless.

                                Two words: Larry Carlton


                                Even Slash sucks his dick. If it wasn't for Larry, The "Dan" would be absolute shit
