I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.

Rap and hiphop are lyrically just on their own level compared to any other genre I'm familiar with. that really pissed me off when I figured it out. When i was a kid in the 90s all the (white) adults were droning on and on about "Oh those ignorant rappers they just sing about six and drugs and they don't have any culture they're just violent crime guys" and then a decade later I'm half listening to something on the radio and it's like "Wait did this track just sample Beethoven and make a bunch of references to classical literature and geopolitics?" I was lied too by white reactionaries can you believe that?
