Overrated and Overplayed

[Nickdfresh]

As much as I like Led Zeppelin, I didn't really become a fan until I was like 30, because they were so MOTHERFUCKING OVERPLAYED!! The local stations here like 97 Rock were nothing but Led Zeppelin tribute stations growing up, so it wasn't until later that I realized these guys could bring it live, no matter how stoned or drunk they were and pulled the plug at the right time. But goddamn was it a Led Zeppelin song every hour on the hour when I was in school. Even the shit closed-circuit feed "news" thing they did at the beginning of Homeroom had the Immigrant Song as it's lead everyday for like three years...

"Hammer of the gods", right into my fucking skull indeed...

I got into Zep before that but I will agree they were overplayed after Bonham died. Some of the stations that have Get The Led out and such keep the Led out a bit too long IMO.

I dunno, there's some great guitar work on 'Strays' (2003). Patchy record, but when it's good it's really good.

The song "Strays" came up in my Pandora this AM. Great tune. I may just have to give that CD another shot. I just remember it not having the magic of old.

Brian Ferry: what a boring cunt. What a fucking pompous poseur. Bathtub singer, at best.

Over-rated and over-played : BOSTON . Dare I say more ?
I completely hate this scam of a " band " The mere mention of their name or existence turns my stomach . It hurt my fingers just to lower myself to type their name . I truly can't tell where one Boston song ends and where another begins . It all sounds like one continuous tedious song . They put out what , maybe 4 to 5 albums in nearly 40 years of existence ? Anymore , whenever I hear them on the radio I just can't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of their over saturation on the airwaves . Classic rock stations just can't live without this band , I truly think they would go into convulsions if they didn't play them at least once every two hours .

Boston's first three albums were good. The 4th one (without Brad Delp) was awful, and the 5th one (with several singers) was spotty. Guess which songs were the best? The ones with Brad Delp on them. Anything they have attempted since his relocation to Hell has been complete dragonshit.

Same with Chicago.... brilliant band in their original configuration. There was a power trio in there every bit as good as Cream or the Jimi Hendrix Experience, they just happened to have a horn section too. Then Terry Kath died and everything worthwhile about the band died with him. And by now, I think the horn players are the only original members left. The horns on my head make better music than anything they did after 1978.

The New York Dolls were sort of named after a city.... and again... great original lineup. Fell apart when people started dying. Of course, in the case of Johnny Thunders he started dying early.... it just took him years to finish it.

Not as overrated and overplayed as U2 but they do fit the criteria.

I guess you forgot about these guys.

Seriously though Pantera was originally Pantego, named after Pantego, Texas.

This is the name of a U S city too. Nazareth , Pennsylvania. They definitley do not suck.

Odd that Pennsylvania would have both a Bethlehem and a Nazareth. Guess if I ever ran for President of the United States, I could put either one on My birth certificate?

I didn't read their bio before I made that last post. Nazareth was named after the Pennsylvania city. They took it from the first line of this song.
