You are entirely correct. Very underrated.Spot on regarding Manzarek.
JD's name from my experience doesn't come up often when drummers are the topic of conversation but I just love the fusion of jazz into rock and he was one of the best at it IMO.
He's in my top 3 along with Tom Waites and Jackson Browne.Would that he had heeded his own advice. It’s the rare prolific artist who I can honestly say this about: I have never heard a single song by him that I like. Not one.
Unsurprisingly I am with you on this artist as well , one of the most overrated of those with a massive fan base IMO.Would that he had heeded his own advice. It’s the rare prolific artist who I can honestly say this about: I have never heard a single song by him that I like. Not one.
I bear him no ill will nor find him overrated — I just can’t understand him at all. His music is so incredibly generic and hookless. I can think of maybe 20 songs of his and there isn’t a single one I like at all. It’s more strange than anything else. Bizarre.Unsurprisingly I am with you on this artist as well , one of the most overrated of those with a massive fan base IMO.
One or two songs he wrote and sung I would listen to again but I don't have a single song of his on my playlist and I doubt I ever will.
