Biggest overstated lyric in rock history.... - chives - 08-08-2005

is it..."Hope I die before I get old" by the Who in the 1960's????

or

is it...."It's better to burn out then to fade away", by Def Leppard in the 1980's (Rock of Ages)...I think these guys have faded far enough....

Come on guys, give me some credit. I know they didn't coin it, but they said it. And they've definetely faded away, and are still trying to "rock on"
