I can't believe no-one else has put this lot up.

They've been a pale imitation of Radiohead ever since they started and they keep on getting worse. Droning, tuneless dirge album after album.

Absolute shit.

Gee whiz, I could throw a dart at today's Hot 100 list and almost any one would be a legitimate answer in this age of manufactured "stars."
http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100#/charts/hot-100?begin=1&order=position

Here is an article http://tinyurl.com/29grt25 from my local awesome radio station, The Current, which ponders Billy Joel's legacy. I'm not passing judgement on Mr. Joel, but it's an interesting way to look at things and fits in with today's discussion.

"I'm curious to see whether Joel's music one day becomes a sincere touchstone for burgeoning musicians, as has been the case for Fleetwood Mac, E.L.O., and yacht rock. Or perhaps he will wind up in the same wing of rock history as the Eagles: phenomenal cosmic success, yet minimal lasting influence. Just because Billy Joel may be the epitome of uncool, it doesn't mean we shouldn't attempt to address his legacy, or lack thereof."

  ok. The Eagles were the other band I was going to pick, but I actually like Don Henley or whatever. I forget what yacht rock is but Billy Joel I really like. His later stuff, like that River of Dreams album I didn't really like a lot at all. I would also like to blame the eagles for Kid Rock.

I think he needs to remove his head from...

I think he gets raved about far to much. His music is good but people should remember he just does the tune.
He obviously never learned to share.

good songwriter, and yes they captured the spirit of what grunge was meant to be, but decades of emo kid/greebo/skater love?

another vote for antics/untimely death equalling unjustified hero-worship.

Some friends would be horrified, but I'm going to have to go with Jimmy et al here. It's not that they're terrible, they're a perfectly acceptable, if not very interesting, band. However, the hero-worship they seem to receive is ill-deserved, and probably more a result of Morrison's antics and untimely death and than their music.

Also, looking for pictures, I found about a dozen of Morrison making equally douchey hand gestures toward the camera and my annoyance increased.
