ARETHA Franklin and Michael Jackson as rock heroes?!?Entertainment Weekly complied what some of their readers thought about 22 Rock Heroes they just don’t get. Baffling though is how the online version conveniently placed Franklin and Jackson in the same league as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Nirvana and AC/DC!!!
Pot shots were hurled at these legendary singers by music listeners who presumably enjoy the unimaginative melodies of Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears and even Boyzone. Or perhaps these listeners are unable to grasp the idea of power chords and electrifying ad-libs accompanied by creative drum rolls and poetic lyrics.
Some of the comments posted include;
“I know that many many people worship at the guitar altar of Jimi Hendrix, but I just think he sounds like a hot mess, especially on ''The Star Spangled Banner.” — Kerri
“I had a huge crush on a guy who loves the Doors. So I checked them out, naturally. Let's just say that not too long after I listened to the Doors, my crush for him died because I realized that if we ever were together, I'd have to listen to that.” — Heather
“Bob Dylan. You can't understand a word he says and its supposed to be all about the lyrics! I like some of his stuff when other people cover it but he's just this gross old crinkly thing. Yuch!” — Shana
“The Rolling Stones. Yes, they were well before my time, but I get other bands from the same era. I just can't like them and I do not find even a young Jagger (pic) to be even remotely attractive.” — suntrap
Surprisingly the King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley was not part of the 22.
