Hendrix is one of the best guitarists of all time and he is overrated? hahaSQ_Crazies wrote: Elvis=overrated just like the Beatles.
Just like the Stones.

That's exactly why Hendrix is overrated--because he's called one of the greatest and THE greatest by many. He's not. He's not a 10 ten guitarist that ever lived--he was an innovator and paved the way for a lot of things, and he should get credit for that--he does, but the wrong sort of credit. I'm a HUGE Hendrix fan, but I don't think he's anywhere near the top of the GOAT guitarist list.jordo212000 wrote:Hendrix is one of the best guitarists of all time and he is overrated? hahaSQ_Crazies wrote: Elvis=overrated just like the Beatles.

I don't know how you could argue that the Rolling Stones are overrated. They have a ton of great songs and they have been relevant for about 4 decades.
Kiss is bad. No arguments there. Take the makeup and BS away and I'd be interested to see how famous they'd be.

The Beatles aren't in my Top 10 but I give them credit when it's due.

The Stones and Kiss are both bands that have stayed relevant because of marketing genius. Not because their music is good. Of course both have made songs that I love--but have you ever heard of a one hit wonder? Any band can create a few good songs--the majority of there stuff sucks ass, vast majority really. They're just really smart in the business side of things--not exceptional musicians. Nickelback falls into the same category. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it--I always hated when someone called a band a sell out, because I'd sell out and in a heartbeat. Why not get handsomely paid for what you love? I'm just sayin', there are bands that strike it rich that aren't that great from a music standpoint.
The Beatles did the same thing. So did Elvis. And so did basically everyone else from that time. All rock and roll rooted from blues music and the Beatles are just as guilty as 'stealing' it as Led Zeppelin and everyone else.BCSbunk wrote: Not a contest The Beatles are the GOAT with EASE.
Led Zeppelin is great no doubt but not nearly the influence of the Beatles.
Really LZ stole a lot of stuff from blues players and did not give them credit on their LPs and it is easy to hear some of the stuff taken from blues players.
It's an opinion, so anyone could have a different list. I have no issues about people putting Hendrix in their top 10, but as far as skill, he isn't one of the 10 best. Other reasons propel him to the top, as mentioned, but I don't think a lot of people realize that a lot of his hype comes from how he innovated. Not saying he isn't GREAT, like I said, I'm a huge Hendrix fan. You don't have to be a great musician to make great music.2quik4u wrote:

You said Hendrix isn't in your top 10. So... who is your top 10? This should be interesting haha. I don't expect you to answer. You have already avoided the question once.SQ_Crazies wrote: It's an opinion, so anyone could have a different list.

you should've stopped right there...it's one thing to have an opinion on what group is the GOAT,but to say the Beatles' influence on music is overrated??? CRED FAIL !!!SQ_Crazies wrote: I don't know if Zeppelin is the best, but I'm definitely a huge fan.
But the Beatles are WAY overrated. They get farrrr too much credit for their influence....
LOLSQ_Crazies wrote: I don't know if Zeppelin is the best, but I'm definitely a huge fan.
But the Beatles are WAY overrated. They get farrrr too much credit for their influence and timing--it doesn't mean they were the best. Mediocre at best, people have just had them forced down their throats for years and years and fucking yearsssssssss.
No, no, what I mean is they get too much credit as musicians because they get so much credit for their influence. Same with Hendrix.dave wrote:LOLSQ_Crazies wrote: I don't know if Zeppelin is the best, but I'm definitely a huge fan.

you could say they weren't the most talented musicians but to say their influence is overrated? you would be hard pressed to find any rock artist that's been around for more than 10yrs that wouldn't list the beatles in their top 5 and/or have covered several of their songs.
You either have a logic or grammar fail.ccrunner609 wrote:Sonofanump wrote:Despite this, Zeppelin is still the GOAT.BCSbunk wrote: Really LZ stole a lot of stuff from blues players and did not give them credit on their LPs and it is easy to hear some of the stuff taken from blues players.
So by your theory, Elvis is the least best artist ever.

SQ Crazies isn't going to answer the question. This is the 3rd time somebody has asked him to share his list of the top 10 guitarists.2quik4u wrote:what is your top 10?SQ_Crazies wrote:No, no, what I mean is they get too much credit as musicians because they get so much credit for their influence.

For a RnR blues list this is pretty nice. I would drop SRV because he sounds just like Albert King.ptown_trojans_1 wrote: Just for shits and giggles, I'll throw in my ten:
