Of the most overrated band I like to think. RIP good sir.

Can't be overrated. Showdown at Big Sky is a helluva song.

Yeah, it is. That whole album is pretty good. The Weight is also a classic.

One of my favorite bands. Overrated? Not too sure about that. I'll put their albums Music From Big Pink, The Band, and of course their work with Dylan, specifically The Basement Tapes up against anything during that time period in the rock/folk genre. Certainly they likely stuck around a bit too long and Robertson was famous for putting his name up for writer of a number of songs that were collaborations. They were so much more than the handful of songs they are well known for on the radio.

Robbie Robertson, the late singer-songwriter best known for his work with the Band and Bob Dylan, was nominated for an Oscar in the Original Score category for his contributions to Killers of the Flower Moon on Tuesday. The posthumous honor was Robertson's first after decades of composing music for film.

Like many of his past scores, the music complemented a film by his longtime friend Martin Scorsese. Robertson formed a friendship with the filmmaker toward the end of the Band's run; Scorsese filmed their final concert, the all-star bash known as The Last Waltz, on Thanksgiving Day, 1976.

He subsequently contributed music to Scorsese's The King of Comedy (1982), The Color of Money (1986), and The Irishman (2019). He also worked in the music department on the filmmaker's Casino (1995), Gangs of New York (2002), Shutter Island (2010), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), and Silence (2016).

is this that pedo singer whose song they used to play at sporting events but mostly stopped once the kid-diddling revelations came out

I don't believe so.
