Top 10 Most Boring Bands In Rock History

Here's a Hint: Poco, Seen Here in 1979, Made the List (YouTube)

Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m quoting this one straight from Dave Marsh and Kevin Stein’s Book of Rock Lists (though I ‘m happy to let you know where I happen to agree…)

10. Poco: I really liked “Heart of the Night” and “Crazy Love” so I’m on the fence. But, beyond that, I have to Agree.

9. Blue Cheer: How many times can you hear a heavy metal version of “Summertime Blues” with different lyrics and not be bored to tears? Agree.

8. Uriah Heep: I’m so-so on this one. Never been that much of a fan, which I guess means I Agree.

7. Steely Dan: Sorry guys, but I have to Disagree here. They were brilliant, albeit not so much lately.

6. Black Sabbath: FINALLY, someone who agrees with me. Badly produced, juvenile and wholly overrated. AGREE!

5. Pere Ubu: Huh? Are there enough people who know them to care?

4. Queen: No, I wouldn’t say they’re “boring.” Flatulent in a flamboyant kind of way, but never boring. Gotta Disagree.

3. ELO: Nah, they did enough different kinds of stuff to keep me interested. Disagree.

2. The Grateful Dead: Like Black Sabbath, I could never quite figure out the rabid appeal, though I like some of their songs. Just not five straight hours worth. Agree.

1.  Rhinoceros: Only when they’re in concert with Pere Ubu.
