Rock Legends

This series has strayed so far from when it started (and was much more enjoyable) with plenty of different people talking about artists and bands. They have whittled it down to now just talking about whatever music genre they feel like waxing about and not very well.

There is Will Hodgkinson who likes to keep “CliffsNotes” about what he is talking about on the backside of the album covers he holds up. John Aizlewood who is so overly pompous and thinks he’s the ultimate know it all of music. And Sunta Templeton who isn’t much better than the other two.

I really hope they revamp this and go back to dedicating each episode to an artist or band and maybe start bring in people to talk about them that actually know/knew them or are at least more knowledgeable about what these three are yammering on about. Either that or just stick a fork in this series and end it.

my gosh these three hosts come across as pompous over self important fools.  I've never seen someone work so hard as these three to make certain types of music sound so important.  Perhaps this show has reached its end. It used to be fun just talking about bands and their music but now it seems it's about how these three people can make themselves sound like experts. Who are these fools anyway ?  More music and less arrogance is what is needed. 

Aaaahhh, Jeez… Where to start with this one. How is Joni Mitchell a rocker? Where was The Tragically Hip, who next to Rush is probably one of the most famous rock bands from Canada ever? The Guess Who, BTO, The Tea Party, April Wine, Nickelback… just to name a few… they missed the mark on this episode. Neil Young and Arcade Fire? Yikes! And please, Canada has not been a country of ”only 20 million people” since 1966.
