Alot of the bands being spotted as over rated have been playing or getting airplay longer than many of you have been alive.

Sure YOU may not like them. But at the Time, Hendrix, the Beatles , the Stones, Joplin were breaking new ground.

I can't name 3 joplin songs but I know her whole fucking story and that right there says something about the staying power and writing credibility of someone who died before I was born. cThe only thing bad I can really say about the older musicians is that many of their songs are dated.

There is no way to compare Tool to Hendrix, two different eras, two structures. It's like comparing gonzo porn to the hair muff porn of the 70's? Really nothing alike.

Personally I grew up listening to punk, so don't think I'm some aging hippy defending my music, but all that crap they call "punk" now is mundane dribble. Their all fuckin over rated.

And as for the White Stripes.

When a guy and a girl... a girl who can't even play the fuckin drums..... can put a stamp on my brain for months, record a million dollar record on a mere 8,000, take rock wayyyy back down to it's roots AND still hold their own against a barage of MTV clones....

well, that is nothing to balk at, there is no way they are over rated. Sure their sound is not for everyone, especially in todays over saturated techno pop drivel dance core market. But the white stripes were not created for your listening soda selling merchandising pleasure. They just play the fuckin music.

I can't go on... getting flustered....
