No way man. Big a following as they had.
What did one Deadhead say to the other after the drugs wore off?
Man, this band sucks.
Didn’t make them great musicians, just a group that collected a cult following.
Other examples would be groups such as Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show, Insane Clown Possie, Phish, Primus to name a few. All had (and have) great cult like followers and yet were not great musicians.
