I would say that many bands go through a lot of phases, from stoned soul, out of sight, to trying to recreate their former boogie and not quite ever getting there.  Its understandable (because I would also) how some people could not like certain bands that they did not hear during the bands best years which are often their earliest.

With that in mind, IMHO, I would remove from the worst rock band ever list: Pink Floyd, Springsteen (Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out), Grateful Dead (Loved Anthem to the Sun), Dylan, Buffet, Rolling Stones, Grand Funk (Some Kind of Wonderful, I'm Your Captain), Led Zeppelin, Steve Miller (Your Saving Grace) and BDP24, I agree with you on Blue Cheer but I did get into "Summertime Blues" on whatever album it was.  Kind of had to be there then for that one.

Just sayin.

I would like to make mention of something that is not directly related to the topic.  There were some albums/CDs that I loved the whole album or CD.  But for a lot of albums and CDs, if not most, there might be four or five, or even just one song that I loved and after a once over of the rest of the songs I would just play that one song, over and over and over.  Never got bored of it.

Actually, that was the great thing about CDs when they first came out.  You could program in the songs you wanted to hear and not need to concentrate on dropping the needle in that little groove between songs.  That could be a challenge at times, LOL.

I would not have thought about Grand Funk Railroad or Blue Cheer as not being a good group, or even bad.  But now that you mention it way back then I would buy an album for a particular song, listen to the whole album once, and just play that one song repeatedly.  Just like mentioned above, Summertime Blues, or also Some Kind of Wonderful.  There were of course exceptions where the whole album was great, notably the Beatles, some Stones, on and on.
