The Beach Boys were great, what's not to like? They relied heavily on The Kingston Trio and Chuck Berry but there's no denying their talent.


Three Dog Night also very underrated probably because they were so pop based, but 21 Top 40 hits between 1968 and 1975 is a very impressive feat.


Louis Jordan is underrated, Jerry Lee Lewis is amazing, Fats Domino amazing, there's talent galore from back in the day


I'm not too good with the apparently dozens of rock sub-styles..... but I'll just call the Beach Boys the lollipops of rock. Matter of fact, I hesitate to even classify their music as rock. It's more like a nauseating pop, feel-good style. Honestly I never heard anything of value from them. I can't fathom their popularity.

Of the groups you mentioned, Three Dog Night I did like. Some of their hits were bonafide good music at the time they were released.
I never understood the Beach boys love. The Beatles made music art. Beach boys made music boring.
