The 10 Biggest Classic Rock Douchebags
http://www.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2014/07/15/the-10-biggest-classic-rock-douchebags?showFullText=true The author sure doesn't like some big name artists... Satan (impatiently) to Newcomer: The trouble with you Chicago people is, that you think you are the best people down here; whereas you are merely the most numerous. - - - Mark Twain, 'Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar' 1897 |

I learned how to play Ramblin' Rose back in the late eighties
used to cover it in a band I played with back then. Seriously rockin'. Those guys were waaayyyyyy ahead of their time. |

I never got Dylan or The Dead.
And this list is basically "those musicians that other people revere, but whom Peter thinks are unlistenable shit". I can't be arsed with The Rolling Stones, either. Awful, awful guitar sound and a hideous voice. And the Beatles? Yeah, thanks a lot, you Liverpudlian gits. You - yeah, you - caused Oasis. ETA: This jibes with my theory of The Classic Rock Event Horizon. For me there are certain aarteests who I will never be old enough to enjoy. There's no logic to it; Springsteen is perpetually 10 years too old for me, yet I'm quite OK with most of Led Zeppelin's output (although HotH was a load of bollocks). ETAA: The oldsters have got their panties in a mighty, mighty knot in the comments. |

Agree, with caveats
There are some Beatles songs I enjoy quite a bit. Other than that, yes to everything you said. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

I am going to show this to my friend and colleague Nick, whose job title is Grateful Dead Archivist. He is so amusing when overtaken by apoplexy. |
