Non
She won't, but her song writing staff will.
Dirt is a fantastic album
Seems like you just don’t like prog rock. Which is totally fine, for the record. Doesn’t make Rush or Yes overrated though.
Today is the day and age of the low information musician. Never has so many hits been written with so few chords, hell, in Cardi B's case, not even chords, just a few prime notes. You can take early Beatles, when they were in their boy band phase, and there were vastly more chord changes per song than what tops the chart today. Further evidence of societal decline: When a cultures art goes to crap, that culture has more to worry about than just crappy art...
This is such an old person take. Music in mainstream culture is almost always simplified because it’s built to appeal to the widest audience. There’s an incredible array of music available to you if you look in the right places.
I don’t do drugs so my apologies. I even scrolled 4 pages to see if there was one response.
I’m going with Widespread Panic
Ok, now I’ll duck.

I'm not even talking about some obscure jazz quartet you've never heard of...I'm talking about acts that topped the charts...The Beatles, The Police, Steely Dan...you'll have songs where there are about 12 chords played before you get to the chorus. These days in popular music, you're lucky to get a run of only 4 chords. And that ain't old man logic, thats logic with eyes and ears wide open. I know there's capable musicians out there, but that's not at the forefront of popular culture today
As a lover of 80’s music, you should be sent to Chile for this post. Where would we be without the Scorpions!
What did the two Dead Heads who just gave up smoking weed say to each other at the last concert?
Man, this music sucks.
I actually like a few of their songs
Billy Joel is lame but damn goodnight Saigon is good
Tom Perry does nothing for me but square one is awesome.

Any answer other than Springsteen is utterly incorrect.
I hate the Grateful Dead
I'll be Grateful when they're dead
I'm not a wide eyed tye died Woodstock head.
I ... Hate the Dead.

You ever listen to the album More Light by J Mascis + the Fog ? Imo it’s his best album and I’ve read he thinks so as well. It’s fuxking killer.
I used to think they were way overrated, but those guys are all each very talented. As I’ve gotten older I’ve gained more of an appreciation for how good they are, particularly vocally. All those dudes can sing, one of the better vocal rock groups ever.
As a metal head, whatever your favorite jam band is is my answer.
Springsteen to me is more of a songwriter a la Dylan. His songs as performed by him annoy me as his voice and guitar playing are boring, but he can write compelling lyrics.
Honestly dude, threads like this aren’t for me. My music is so different than most that anything popular would likely be “overrated” to me
What music gets you going? Music is the greatest language, there is something for everyone
So I asked my 17 year old this question and he had an interesting response. This performer has 24.8 million subscribers on YouTube and is not very good.
I give you: Drake.
