Well...I disagree! Elvis is the most overrated musician because he wasn't a musician. Loose BedSpring is definitely in the top 5 though.
I said Springsteen was the most over-rated "performer and lyricist." Elvis, of whom I am not/was not a fan (was 18 when he died) was a "performer." He was neither a musician or a lyricist.
When I first heard the BS song "Rosalita," I remember thinking "How can anyone take this clown seriously?" To me, Springsteen's songs - most of them, anyway - just lay there doing nothing. "Tunnel of Love," "Darkness on the Edge of Town,".....I mean, really! It's over-hyped, poorly written, over-produced, music performed with a banal mediocrity that is laughable. It borders on the ridiculous.
Give me some energy in my music! Give me some buzz!
