Description

What if some of the most celebrated rock bands of the 1960s aren't nearly as great as their reputation suggests? From The Doors and The Rolling Stones to The Who, Cream, The Beach Boys, The Velvet Underground, Grateful Dead, The Kinks, The Byrds, and Jefferson Airplane, this list takes a critical look at ten legendary bands that are often treated as untouchable. We go beyond nostalgia and reputation to examine the music, songwriting, albums, influence, mythology, and the reasons these bands became so highly regarded in the first place. Some of these choices are guaranteed to piss you off. Which band do you think is the most overrated? #RockMusic #ClassicRock #60sRock
