First off, don't misquote me mister, I said it was one of the most overrated pieces of garbage ever, you asked me to elaborate, I said " It sucks....a lot". Surely that is an elaboration worthy even of such an esteemed scholar of classic rock as yourself?!
Forgive me, but not even the most brilliant lyricist on the planet could salvage a dull piece of music. I don't particularly like classic rock yes, I prefer something new and original regarding style, but if the likes of The white stripes can produce exciting rock music (that is very much rooted in the classic rock genre), I don't see why I should tolerate a band that never should have left the local bar scene. This is in no way a brash generalization, it's quite individualized, The Hold Steady make boring music that gets on my tits.
