Good morning, everyone. Is it my imagination or does "Let It Live" have some parts that are like "Pictures of Matchstick Men" from Staus Quo?

Hi Cecile, I am guessing that you have seen PIL. Did you see them "back in the day"?

Avatar 11:14am

no, never did, I'm sorry to day. Closest thing was seeing the Golden Palominos - some of those guys were in PIL Mark 2

I like this song, but I'm on the fence about this cover.
  11:15am

Yeah, I could see why a band would want to cover it--talking about the darkness within and all, but I know I have a high bar for covers.

Am I alone in thinking the Rolling Stones are overrated?

I don't think I appreciated the Stones until I was in my mid 20s. Overrated, yeah, but I still dig quite a bit of their stuff.

@ Marie, I don't think so. But maybe when a band lasts so long they eventually have to disappoint you a bit.

@NGH--yeah that is about where I stand. And, I must admit, I'm not sure I have given their early albums full listens. They have really fit into the marketing of a "real" "rock and roll" band.
  11:22am
Marie:

@ Sue P-- I have thought the same thing at times; right now I don't :>)
  11:23am
Blinda:

I think the Who are overrated. I loved them so much when I was 12.
Avatar 11:24am
Cecile:

I think it all started with Toni Braxton, and "unbreak my heart". Usually people would only throw a little bit in there in RnB songs, for a change up or contrast. But she sang it at the lowest range of her voice, which to me sounded kind of good. And I guess it sounded even better to everyone else. It's the case where a vocal mannerism turned into a whole widespread tic.

I love the Stones, but not everything they do. Still, Beggars Banquet is dang near perfect in my book.
Avatar 11:24am
Cecile:

I meant to say "sang the whole song"

and I never quite got the Who. I do really like "Odds and Sods" for some reason though.

This "overrated" discussion could easily descend into petty arguments and ridiculous music geekery, so I'm gonna forego further comment. (The Who are one of my all-time faves.)

Sue P, it look me a long time to re-appreciate the Beatles. I'm no die-hard fan, but Rubber Soul and Revolver are still pretty spotless in my book.

I think I had issues because our radio stations would play their worst songs over and over. And I cleaned out chicken fryers to "Magical Mystery Tour" for a summer.
Avatar 11:27am

absolutely, i think the Beatles are a really, really good band. even with that, they are overrated becuz ppl see them as the "ultimate" or something. so...yeah, that's all i'm saying.

Somehow managed to reach my late 40s without knowing jack about stones or who. I was introduced to underground weird stuff way too young, & bypassed a lot of that RAWK history.

Dean:

I have the misfortune of not having died before I got old, and I grew up not getting The Who. Beginning just a handful of years ago I get them. Not sure why. The Beatles have a ton of baggage, for sure. But I think if we could strip it all away, we would be left with a truly sui generis phenomenon. Not "ultimate" in the sense of "best," but quite special. They were in the right place at the right time and they ran with it in ways nobody could have predicted. When I listen to, say, recitals by Nikhil Banerjee, I realize that we have The Beatles to thank for helping to import classical Indian music to our Western pop sensibilities. It's pretty remarkable.

Dean:

I want to ask, "Overrated as compared to what?" In his autobiography, Bill Bruford writes about his self-doubts as a musician. He views every day of his 40 years as a drummer as part of a process of development and refinement. But then he looks at the current lot of young drummers, whom he regards as having surpassed him technically in seemingly no time at all. In this respect, is he overrated? Took him decades to do what a new kid can crank out in a year or so? Is there more to it?
  11:49am

In my opinion, if you like pop, the Beatles are undeniably great.
Avatar 11:51am

I think one of the Circle Jerks put it best in American Hardcore - "Fleetwood Mac were a great band, but there were other great bands beside them. But the radio stations only played them. So we got sick of it."
