Most overrated musician of all time

[Groundbeef]

Nominating Kenny Rogers for the most overplayed, although over 20 years ago, still not long enough for me. I never got Pink Floyd, Rush, or Jethro Tull. Or Norah Jones today.
Micheal Bolton was always depressed.

1. Kenny Rogers- who doesn't like "The Gambler", other than that, I am not a fan.

2. Pink Floyd. Do you not enjoy them, or understand their popularity? They sort of grew on me. I heard the Wall, and listened to it over an over. The strangeness of it all. Lots of interesting backstory on that album. Unlike some of the Floyd purists, I didn't (and still don't) really enjoy much of their earlier albums. Dark Side is wonderful.

I would have to also add that although I don't enjoy most of their early works their song
"Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" is a personal favorite. Both in the name and the weirdness.

3. Jethro Tull. If I EVER hear "Thick as a Brick" again, I'll break whatever speaker it's coming out of. My neighbor in college used to play that full blast at least once a day.

4. Norah Jones. Have a couple of her CD's. As others have said, her songs tend to sound very similar.

Hey GroundBeef,

1) I agree "Gambler" was a great song. But they beat it to death.( Remember all those made TV movies? ("The Gambler ", "The Return of","3", "Does Dallas", "5","6")

2) The Dark Side I never got either, although I did like the song "Money". "The Wall" always reminded me of a devil worshippers chat. I played that link in your note, I think I understand now why you like "The Dark Side" and I don't. (ha ha). Hey, we can't all be the same, to each his own.

3) I chuckled on your comment on Tull. I had a friend that actually liked Styx. I still ask him why man why? Why!? Why!?

4) I bought a Norah Jones CD as well. She's not bad, not great, kind of like a female version of Harry Connick Jr. to me. But it's good to know their still is a market for some of those great old songs.
