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.

Aside from Hotel California, I really dislike The Eagles. Also Led Zeppelin's music is good, but half their hits are basically covers. Also while I really like the music from Red Hot Chilli Peppers, their vocalist and lyrics seriously suck.

It would be a cover if they paid royalties. But they straight up stole a crapload of songs from known blues musicians without ever giving a cent back. Culture vulture shit. And yeah fuck RHCP, their lead singer is a know sex pest and its the dumbest band on earth.

Yeah exactly. Zepplin, and plenty of other rock musicians at the time, just stole from blues musicians and black musicians and artists without giving any credits. At least Dave Grohl was a lot better in this regard, he just took inspiration from disco and funk drummers (didn't directly copy or steal), and has even acknowledged it in interviews.

Oh no wonder the lead singer from RHCP gives me creepy vibes, didn't know that but it explains it now.
