Most underrated classic rock band of all time?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 26th, 2025 8:41 PM Author: backroom poasting couch For me, it's Skynyrd. Now some might say they're properly rated, and to wit Freebird is not second most spun song of all time on classic rock radio. But my opinion is that they were still overlooked by critics and fans alike. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5686240&forum_id=2#48697297) |

Check out Silverton Blues, by way of one example, faggot:

Somehow more boring than either. I will go so far to say that DS was not horrible, but they don't make you some in the know rock savant because you know he said nigger in some random song. Pass.

Date: February 26th, 2025 8:52 PM Author: Mainlining the Secret Truth of the Mahchine (You are Privy to The Great Becumming and You Recognize Nothing. ) Okay faggot.
Calling Dire Straits overrated is some next-level contrarian brain rot.
"Peak Boomer yacht rock nonsense"?
Are you seriously trying to dunk on "Brothers in Arms" with that weak-a$$ take?
Mark Knopfler’s guitar work alone shits on half the classic rock catalog—name me one Steely Dan or Eagles track with a solo that hits like Telegraph Road.
You sound really mad. Sorry, friend!
Knopfler’s a goddamn legend, and you’re poasting like he’s some hack strumming margarita anthems.
Wake up. Someday, you'lll $ee. |

Aren't you one of those people who thinks 'Congratulations' is better than 'Oracular Spectacular' because it's 'more better'? You're the king of contrarian takes. Your point of view boils down to if it sucks it's really great, and if it's any good at all, it's trash. I hope your St. Vincent tattoo isn't removable so I can mark you for the woodchipper.

Date: February 26th, 2025 8:57 PM Author: Mainlining the Secret Truth of the Mahchine (You are Privy to The Great Becumming and You Recognize Nothing. ) Hi Faggot!
Yes, I stand with St. Vincent.
Maybe watch the "New York" music video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TPqUvy1vYU
or the single track "Teenage Talk" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ0mDm9sqRc
and then we'll circle back.
You faggot.

Date: February 26th, 2025 9:02 PM Author: backroom poasting couch Yeah are they a little bit different than other soft rock? Yeah. But it's all soft rock. It's all clean guitar solos and shit that never gets heavy. They're not *that* different like c'mon. They're way more like each other than they are like Megadeath or something.

Date: February 26th, 2025 9:03 PM Author: Mainlining the Secret Truth of the Mahchine (You are Privy to The Great Becumming and You Recognize Nothing. ) You still haven’t listened to Silverton Blues, have you, faggy?
You’re too busy frothing over a St. Vincent mention actually to engage with the argument.
Knopfler just released an album that, even in his 70s, embodies 99% of the ‘rock’ being made today.
That track alone is more raw, atmospheric, and technically impressive than anything $teely Dan ever touched.
But sure, keep screeching about "DEI" (faggot) and pretending you’re above it all.
The fact that a single mention of St. Vincent sent you into a Zeppelin-defense meltdown tells me all I need to know.
Go ahead, take 5 minutes out of your coping session and actually listen to the track.
I will wait. You gay nigger faggot. |

Date: February 26th, 2025 9:06 PM Author: backroom poasting couch Silverton Blues bored me to tears can't remember a second of it. Steely Dan is legit.

i guess i often think that it’s weird how well known black sabbath is yet most people have no idea what they really were and how influential. i wouldn’t call them “underrated” though |

Date: February 26th, 2025 9:08 PM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. there are some good bands that were big in canada but never crossed over that much into the US, like chilliwack or april wine. or cold chisel for australia.
some bands had good stuff before churning out bloated radio slop, like the scorpions. the entire first decade of their career is mostly forgotten aside from that one particular album cover. or robert palmer. or rod stewart.
part of the issue is that most classic rock bands are near-completely forgotten at this point. the genre got funneled into 'classic rock radio,' which ended up pruning away almost everything which didn't fit a handful of narrow algorithms.
there were all kinds of regional or middling (peaking around spots 30-60 on the Billboard 100 chart, for example) hits that vanished over time. eg, the marc tanner band had a few such songs, and some of them are good, but you'll never hear them unless you look them up yourself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGldsDBsNiQ
or an act like john cafferty and the beaver brown band, which had one gigantic radio hit (on the dark side) while the entire remainder of their long career is basically unknown.
in terms of famous bands which are underrated AS classic rock acts, probably alan parsons project and toto.

i’d say a band like the stooges would be more underrated. also very influential even though they weren’t around long but like half their songs were actually great |
