Zappa was the greatest rock 'n roll bandleader / guitar virtuoso ever. Period.

Actually Steve Wonder was pretty good when he was young. Same for Springsteen IMO, I kinda liked some of his early stuff but fame and fortune seemed to affect a change in each of them.

In my books Pink Floyd is tied for worst with The Moody Blues.

Aw gee... now I'm about to have a flashback to 1977...

Please, somebody put on some Van Morrison.

I agree. I have a friend who travels all over to see Dylan. He leaves me cold.

Two words: Paper Late.

But, the beginning of Hold On with the drum riff is good, the rest crap.

Land of Illusion? Mega crap.

The Doors was 60s music. Sure if you want to compare Jim Morrison with Blake or Wordsworth he’s going to appear shallow, but as 60s music goes, he wasn’t that bad.

Ouch, love me some Rush. Seen them many times. Neil Peart is amazing.

Now Geddy Lee, there's a train wreck, or more like fingernails on a chalk board of a voice if there ever was one.

Rush has released a fair number of albums since '2112' in 1976, which seems to be the last one you heard. ;)

Exactly....Geddy’s voice pretty much has mellowed since Permanent Waves.

Agree on Doors, indifferent on Floyd and Wonder. Springsteen's early work was inspired...peaked and slid down with “Born in the USA”...love “Down bound Train”..as for Bob Marley, I could not disagree more emphatically...”Redemption Song”, “Get Up, Stand Up” power full stuff.

If Stevie Wonder wasn’t black and blind, there’s no way he’d be as highly esteemed as he is.

But is Stevie Wonder really "highly esteemed?" He's even more of a figure from the past than Springsteen is. He's been pensioned off, like Chuck Berry. If you're aiming at five overrated reputations today, you waste your chance if you go with Stevie.
