Not that controversial. I think The Doors are overrated too, although not as overrated as you think they were. I say this as someone who very much likes their debut album and “L.A. Woman.”https://twitter.com/RMCarpiano/status/1188238916618461186 …

Most overrated in concert - Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Seen both live, multiple times. Boomers are deranged, these guys phoning it in.

I've never seen either live in concert. However, I note that Neil Young is a bit of a crank, too. He's anti-GMO and likes to parrot pharma conspiracy theories.

I have a Neil Young story that usually brings down the house. Otherworldly weird bad concert that I, as the sober and drug free participant, was the only reliable witness for. It was bad. It was real bad. When I tell people about it, they deny it's possible. It is. It was.

Ha! I guess I haven't missed anything. Sadly, he did put out some great albums in the late 1960s/early 1970s that would have been great live in the hands of a competent performer.

Still, how is it that "Rust Never Sleeps" and "Live Rust" are such great live albums?

I don't know. My first with him was 1994 IIRC. A lot can happen in 20 years. Also, the Nobel to Dylan was a travesty.
