(719 posts)when Geddy Lee stopped sounding like a gerbil with an amphetamine habit, their music became way more palatable to me.
And I know it may border on blasphemy, but I don't enjoy Pink Floyd anymore....not since Roger Waters left.
Same with Van Halen....not worth listening to without Roth. Hagar sucks balls.
Thank God for cable TV....without it, certain former members of 80's hair bands would have nothing.
KISS? Don't make me laugh. They're a rock band in the same sense that Velveeta is cheese. Their target demographic was (and probably still is) 14-15 yr. old boys, and their music is about at that level of competence.
And I don't care how many records they sold-- I never cared for Fleetwood Mac after Buckingham/Nicks, which is kinda funny when you realize that most people had never heard of them till that time.
Eagles? Over-rated, big time. Now they're raking in the 'nostalgia' cash. Yee-haw.
But pay my little opinions no mind-- I was one of those weird dudes who listened to King Crimson, Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, and Zappa on the side.
