Classic Rock (electronic, blues, jazz, pop, favorite songs)

Speaking of Nazareth, I initially mistook MissMurder's user name for "MissMisery". How badass that would've been if it was a Nazareth (NOT ELLIOTT SMITH) reference rather than an AFI one.

Anyways, I do think the dinosaur classic rock bands are overrated due to some sort of retro trend going on right now where it's actually become cool to bear shirts with the mighty Zep implanted on them. I don't think bands of the 80's and 90's have caught on as much with this generation as the 70's groups (excluding Nirvana) because the baby boom generation is still occupying the radio waves with their "golden oldies" garbage stations. Unfortunately, I was stuck with parents who tuned into these stations constantly and due to overexposure, alot of these bands have burnt out on me.

And I now really and truly hate Journey and Foreigner for the previously stated reasons
