I won't say no. But I see them as more of a niche artist (outside of this milieu) and overall not overrated.

Foo Fighters was a great choice. I cant argue with any listed so far.

Oh and the Grateful Dead
Foo Fighters sell out stadiums over here, it's insane. They are so thoroughly ordinary.
Says the Kiss Army fusilier.
KISS don't need to be good, it's a cirkus.
A cirkus of horrors?
Only when they played a track from their new album.

I am going to have to agree with Heston here. Yes, KISS is absolutely terrible, but they are not ordinary. Foo Fighters are quite oirdinary.

What a horrible situation. Awful people in a notable band; great person in an ordinary band. :angry:

I don't know many Kiss songs, but the few I've heard sounded pretty ordinary to me. Kinda like Foreigner in silly costumes.

A well-conceived marketing ploy for a crap product. A bit like the Sea Monkeys.

And Heston learns that after Brexit, without a doubt continental Europe is no longer with him. Somehow, listening to "Beth" tonight feels more bitter than sweet.

To be honest, he'd already lost continental Europe completely when he called Shakin Stevens the thinking man's Elvis.

It's difficult to keep track of how many allies he's lost in these discussions. We might need to hire a staff.

That's a lot of work, just accept that Tom is the only one he hasn't alienated.

Yeah there's so much other common ground and Tom is young and not as easily put off as the rest of us.
