I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.
As a radio programming format, yeah.
As music it’s pretty good. Even the band I bounce off of the most, kiss, has some cool stuff that never made it big and is fun to listen to.
Weirdly the thing that saves the music from the terrible clear channel/I heart radio format is the other stuff on the format it was released as.
