I will grant them their groundbreaking forays of '64 - they were redefining the genre, and worthy of tons of praise ... but after they were banned from touring the USofA, they sank into the cozy confines of their myopic British sensibilities, and noodled platters that meant fock all to fans back in the States, ergo, their dropoff (not unlike the reasons Paul Weller & the Jam never clicked here, in that respect). 5 minutes ago, HellToupee said: hot take alert We servin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't include Led Zeppelin, The Stones, or CCR on that list. That said, many were overated. Here are my thoughts on a few: The Doors - Jim Morrison seemed overblown and pretentious at the time - seems even more so now. The Monkees - Don't get me wrong. They had some great songs (but all their hits were written by The Brill Building folks). And the fact is that they were the corporate manufactured "Boy Band" of their day (which may be why they haven't made The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame). The Jimi Hendrix Experience -The group's songs don't hold up that well to me (although Hendrix guitar playing is simply extraordinary if you listen to his live performances). The Beach Boys - Became a bit tiresome as the decade wore on ""Saccharine harmonies, inane lyrics and the same clichés repeated over and over again like a wave hitting the shore." - Robyn Strachan The Mothers of Invention - Frank Zappa's music did absolutely nothing for me. Never saw the appeal. The Grateful Dead - They had their moments if you like long extended jamming, but a little too laid back and low key for my tastes. Cream - As much as I liked them at the time, I haven't felt the need to revisit any of their catalog in decades. Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love is an all time Classic Rock tune and White Rabbit is pretty decent, but it is all downhill from there, exept for Today from their first LP where Marty Balin did the vocals. The Byrds - "Whether The Byrds are overrated is subjective, but their influence on folk rock, psychedelic rock, and country rock is undeniable, and they are considered a significant band in rock history."
