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.

Clapton does suck, but I am the opposite regarding classic rock, punk is my .musical bread and butter, I hate stairway to heaven and can tolerate carry on my wayward son mostly cause I've weird Al'd the lyrics to Carry on My Wayward Scum (there's no peace you're never done, you're weary head don't get to rest, you're gonna cry so muuuuuuuuch). I like a lot of early British invasion stuff until it went all Sgt pepper. The stones have some good tunes, Mother's Little Helper rules but it's like 2 albums of really good songs over a career, Aerosmith sucks, Springsteen works better if you think of him as a folk musician who plays rock, his hits aren't really the best either, he's a full album guy, he's an amazing songwriter and although I'm not personally huge on his stuff, I do get the respect that he has.
