Boston - pretentious crap , 1 song with 24 sets of lyrics
Steve Miller Band - 1 hit wonder , pretentious
Fleetwood Mac - pretentiousness lead by biggest whore in music
Sex Pistols - honest rock and roll , raw YES , real YES , and Sid had no musical talent , played with instruments STOLEN from the bands you mentioned ...
Christine McVie or Stevie Nicks? Or Lindsey Buckingham?
Actually 3 "pretentious" songs on the first album. Please, "More Than a Feeling" took you to so many different places musically. How can you listen to that song and not tap your foot?
"Steve Miller Band - 1 hit wonder."
Sorry, he had many top 40 hits. Just on his "Stranger In Town" album he had 4 hits: "Hollywood Nights"; "Still The Same"; "Old Time Rock n Roll"; "We've Got Tonight".
"Fleetwood Mac - pretentiousness lead by biggest whore in music."
Don't know what who the whore was, but they were just mellow and cool. Sorry they didn't thrash. Someday when you're more mature, you may want to listen to "You Can Go Your Own Way" and appreciate the amazing lead by Buckingham. Many guitar afficiadoes admire his finger picking on that song and others.
"Sex Pistols - honest rock and roll , raw YES , real YES , and Sid had no musical talent , played with instruments STOLEN from the bands you mentioned ..."
Just what I've been trying to say. Punk was raw but had NO soul and just thrashed about. Just garage bands with a fast tempo and maybe some current message lyric wise. The kids wanted something different as kids need, but the bands were just noise, mostly. Glad punk died and even though I didn't care for the big hair bands, at least they started writing melodic rock again, rather than noise.
Punk is a distant memory. Even my own kids prefer Zepplin and other classic dinasour rock over the their own era music. That says everything.
