Overrated musicians

Bruce."The Boss" . Maybe Springsteen should go see Donald Trump on his show.

Nah, Moondance is on Moondance (released in 1970), but that one is GREAT in the fall, you're right! I love Van the Man . I definitely recommend checking out Astral Weeks (1968) and No Guru (1986) if you haven't yet.

Nick Drake I listen to in the dark. I once went on a long walk in the dark with Nick Drake playing. There were neon lights everywhere, people rushing by living their lives and autumn in the air. I was in sheer bliss. You and I Part 1 I must listen to while on the bus in the dark. Gah...Alot of my music is dark time music, lol. I have different categories in my iPod for when to listen to music. "Rain Music, Sunshine, Having a Good Day, Getting my weepies out through music rather than crying, Meditation, Walking in the Woods etc". I love having moments where simply perfect music for it is playing. It just enhances every experience.

Yes. I have a similar way of listening to music. I always try to connect it with real situations from my life or with weather. For example, I tend to listen to "Rock a Little" mainly in the winter. I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the album cover and especially that coat that screams snowy, winter days. On the other hand, "Street Angel" is my summer album

My cousin brought blondie CD'S on a road trip once.....Like Lewis Black once said.....I wanted to take a pencil and shove in my ear.

How is Blondie overrated? They (because yes Blondie is a band) are so irrelevant I can't comprehend how they are even rated. Many of the posts in this thread come across as "artists I don't like" rather than artists that are actually overrated. Overrated to me is Adele, Justin Bieber, etc...

Blondie over rated, I guess I can see where that might be considered; but all together irrelevant I can't comprehend. I myself am a fan, and dig that whole CBGB time. Was a small "movement" (if you will) with bands such as Blondie, Talking Heads etc. A cool time. Not earth moving, but certainly not irrelevant.

Well as i said earlier in this thread......Overrated...as a term, really only applies to Critics and/or fanbase. I've heard plenty of fans go on about blondie, so technically they can be labeled overrated. that term really needs to go though

put it this way.....Stevie and the Mac can be labeled WAY overrated lol
