Artists whose music has not held up well over time.

Notching as we speak, thanks... Wasn't Squier projected as the next Zeppelin for a week or so? There had to be some serious payola or something going on with that dude. He all of a sudden blasted onto the scene out of nowhere, then he disappeared after his unfortunate "Rock Me Tonight" video incident.

Chess King! That was brilliant. Put another notch on your laugh gun handle.

That's a sweet shirt he rips off himself as well. I'm thinking Chess King circa 1984. That video is almost too funny to be true. How many people signed off on that?

LOL. I got as far as the mirror and couldn't watch anymore. Very funny comment.

Thanks, I appreciate you saying that. If I can make one person laugh, it's been a good day.

Hah! Just saw this. Not the best look for sure. I always liked Ben Orr's voice, but he did have a little too much of a bloody Rod Stewart thing going on at times, may he rest in peace. Ben that is.

I liked their second album "Candy O" quite a bit as well. After that, a significant drop-off for sure.

The Cars first album was a fun enough collection but after that it was turgid 80's rubbish.

I think both Wilco and Billy Joel hold up quite well.

The Who, as much as I love them, don't.

All in good fun, my friend.... Take everything I write with a handful of salt. I grew up in LI, and liked Billy, but in all "honesty", do not think his tunes have held up well over time.
