Wicker Man is not a bad song.

[echo_bravo]

Probably U2.

Other than The Joshua Tree, they have released a lot of crap.

[a7xfan]

people will hate me for this but i also think that metalica are overrated too, sure they have some good songs m#but overall they are no better that any other band

[Cronos]

easily Nirvana

[Brando @$$ Fat]

Man, these threads always turn into bloodbaths.

Most overrated? I've always thought the B-52's are extremely overrated.

Ouch. Damn, I love U2. Haven't heard a bad album by them yet. Well, maybe Pop. But otherwise they've only released classic stuff imo.



My pick would be Led Zeppelin. Other than their hits, I don't like their music.

Shit, I can't believe I forgot to mention them. Yeah, I respect their contribution and influence and everything but other than that I could care less for their music.

[paul calf]

after all the over excitement of the last week or so would have to say the police imo

[moviemaniac8210]

Led Zep for sure.

[Criminal Rock]

Led Zeppelin?

hrm...

[Scarfather]

In the long run:
#1: Nirvana
U2
Led Zeppelin
AC/DC
Radiohead
Pink Floyd

Currently:
Tool
The Arcade Fire
Modest Mouse

I can understand not liking them? But shittiest band ever? Oh, wait... Nevermind, forget who I was talking to for a second.
Anyway, I would have to say either Zeppelin (though they are good, they are not THE GREATS EVAH), Van Halen, or Poison.

[powersauce]

I like both and own albums of theirs but I've got to say Nirvana and Zeppelin although Zeppelin is mostly overrated because of IV alone. I swear if I have to hear Four Sticks,Black Dog, and Rock And Roll against my will one more time... :mad:

^^exactly... (to frankyfour)

I see people on here listing artists like Nirvana, Zeppelin, and Floyd... And sure, I guess I can get why people don’t like these guys. But what determines an artist or a group, "overrated"? I ask this because I feel that people abuse this word habitually just because they don’t “like” or “care” about a specific group, or they don’t “get” why said group got so illustrious, or whatever.

When I think of overrated bands, I think of people who exploit their fanbase. Usually for monetary reasons. Artists like Brittany Spears, or Backstreet Boys... and most rap artists.

So please, for the love of xenu someone explain to me why my most influential bands are “overrated”... Cause I don’t get it...

[BadCoverVersion]

Because they are lauded by many peeps, and single peeps (like me) disagree, it's not rocket science.

It seems every fucker and their mother loves Pink Floyd, I think they are rubbish, thus they are 'overrated' IMO.

End of.

[Criminal Rock]

But they're lauded for a reason... you know what I mean jellybean?

The ball rolls like this: People enjoy Pink Floyd for the same reasons you would enjoy Pulp, rr whatever... It just so happens that more people enjoy the Floyd. That’s really the only difference, here. So, you not liking their music doesn’t mean they are overrated. It just means that you don’t like their music. And a lot of people liking Pink Floyd doesn't mean they're overrated either. It just means that a lot of people like their music.

I hope I'm making sense.

QFT


I am so sick of the term "overrated".

[franky4fingerz]

I dont really love listening to pink floyd either. I think they have become very popular today along with the doors and the dead because of the "drug" relativity. But I'm willing to bet that most of these fuckin kids who were there shirts couldnt name 5 songs from each band. To say pink floyd is overrated I feel is a bit much. The sound they have is one of a kind and they were doing this back in the freakin 70's! Its unbelieveable how talanted that band is, but I cant really get into them as much as some do (or pretend to).

[bankholdup]

1. Pink Floyd
2. Metallica
3. AC/DC

And Lynyrd Skynyrd somewhere about there.

[Sigur509]

I agree with Metallica

Pantera
AC/DC
U2

even though i like the band alot, i would say that my chemical romance are too ovverated, they are good, but by no means are they 'gods'

Take it or leave it, but you have to at least give them some respect, you wouldn't have Avenged Sevenfold if not for them.
Also, another idea, what the hell is so great about Primus? I mean, I like alot of their material, but particularly why are they worshiped by... I dunno, I would have said stoners, but I also know alotta non-stoners that love 'em.
And who exactly said My Chemical Romance were gods to begins with? Besides Alt Press, which doesn't really know shit to begin with.

Yes you're making sense but it's like you're intent on sapping the fun out of this thread by way of being diplomatic. Everybody seems to have problems with terms nowadays...pretentious, overrated, etc. We all have to agree to disagree and shake hands and shit...instead of having a strong - sometimes 'controversial' - opinion and enjoying a healthy debate about it.

Oh well I DISLIKE the artists I listed then. I dislike them quite a lot actually, but understand why they receive such acclaim and numerous awards because other people obviously like them very much. How very opinionated of me, phew.

Oh and people don't enjoy Pink Floyd for the same reason others enjoy Pulp. It's not that cut and dry. You don't just like/dislike bands because you do and that's the end of it. You like them because they make you feel a certain way, or represent a certain thing, and yeah...sometimes they simply rock. I don't like Scott Walker for the same reason(s) I like Kenny Rogers...that would be quite absurd IMO.

[RandalGraves]

U2
Maroon 5
Poison
Dixie Chicks
Pink Floyd

[Tayzlor]

Can we do another overrated thread w/o bogging down in semantics...to speak for others, most people don't legitimately believe that they not liking something certain means that all the lovers have been played a nasty trick on. By overrated most people mean popular bands they have no use, even if the dictionary definition disagrees.

Led Zeppelin
The Band
Interpol
Joy Division
The Flaming Lips
Nick Drake (pending placement...will listen to "BL" and "PM" again...voices hurts ears)

How can his voice hurt your ears when he's got like the softest voice ever? Besides, at the end of the day if your grave looks like this.....

http://www.janetomlinson.com/journal/files/jane_nickdrakegravewhole.jpg

.....it's hard to be "overrated." Although I guess he has achieved a much greater status in death than in life. Oh well, to each his own I suppose. My only suggestion is to listen to Pink Moon when you're going to sleep, not when it's necessarily the light of day.


Speaking of voices, what about Clap Your Hands Say Yeah? That guy is a singing abortion.

[notchreturns]

Not a big fan of Joy Divison or The Cure.

As for newer artists, Joanna Newsom, The Shins, Artic Monkeys, Sufjan...

ok, i do respect iron maiden for what they have brought over the years, but i can have my own opinion so if i say they are the shittest band ever then thats not saying that it is a fact that they are the shittest, and btw im not into the 'cool' bands my friend, i have differant tastes in music, i dnt know wot you problem is with me, i cannot post anything without you being sarcastic, just lay off man

[Scarfather]

Now that I think about it, while Nirvana might be the most overrated band ever.

Avenged Sevenfold is certainly the single worst band to ever exist.

[thedamnwolfman]

Beatles
The Rolling Stones

A bunch of people our parents and grandparents made rich. If someone would give me the choice today, neither would get my money. To average rock bands in the right place at the right time who rode the wave to the beach. Popular, yes. Great, to most people, but then again i'm not most people. So these are my two most overated bands.

[LordSimen]

If I had to choose I'd probably go with The Ramone or Green Day.

"You don't just like/dislike bands because you do and that's the end of it. You like them because they make you feel a certain way, or represent a certain thing, and yeah...sometimes they simply rock."

What other reasons are there to like a band?

Name any band on this earth and someone will list the reasons why...

Being famous gives more room for people to romp on artists like this (which, I guess, is the sole reason why anyone would call them overrated), I tend to be very choosy on the people I do. To be more specific, artists who are serious about their work as well as those who are knowledgeable are usually the last people I’d call out. On the other hand, people who gain fame through trends and exploitation are the people on top of my list. Like Brittany Spears. Fuck that bitch. She doesn’t deserve anything she has. Talentless fuck...

I know I'm being anal about it (but only on topics like these)... and you’re absolutely on point about the whole ‘agree to disagree’ argument. No one person is correct here, I’m just trying to defend my babies.

I like specifics, what can i say?

It's also just confusing to me when a person makes this type of statement without having any sort of ‘analytical backbone’ apart from the "it’s just my opinion" speech...

Whatever, I’ll just shut my face now. I don't like being a party-pooper. ;)

If were being historically acurate it would have to be The Beatles, its not like there were not a thousand better bands before and after, but on this fucking board its probably Nin or red hot lilly peppers,

First off, when you insult a band loved by millions it helps if you use proper English. Secondly, NIN is one of the best and most influential bands to come out in a long time.

If you dont like a thread about NIN, just hush your mouth and stay out of it. Do not go out of your way to insult the thread starter.

It is obvious you are a troll just trying to start crap. Find another board to do it on because it is not appreciated here. The mods do a great job of keeping this place great and they dont need another jackass running around trying to start arguments and flame wars.

Word.

Seeing Joy Division dissed cuts me pretty deep also but this forum has been a lame duck for some time, it's nice to see a bit of banter being whipped up of late.

I agree that The Beatles are overrated, for the simple reason that Rolling Stone managed to scrape together enough lunk-headed industry 'insiders', musicians and critics who managed to vote 5 FUCKING ALBUMS in the TOP 10 of an ALL-TIME TOP 100!!!

That's nothing short of preposterous in my eyes...and then they have the audacity to place the likes of Odessey and Oracle at #80, Sweetheart Of The Rodeo at #117, Raw Power at #125, Closer at #157, Marquee Moon at #128, Every Picture Tells a Story at #172, The Gilded Palace of Sin at #192, The Queen Is Dead at #216, Rain Dogs at #397...and where in the FUCK are Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker, Lee Hazlewood, Serge Gainsbourg???

The Beatles are LUDICROUSLY overrated...I'll admit they were good, great even...but the be-all and end-all, I think not.

Ok folks...pipe down.

First up...Mentiroso.

Roy L Dennis was just giving his opinion. Your post includes personal insults. I would suggest you go refresh your memory where the rules are concerned. Making potentially hurtful comments just because someone doesn't think your favorite band in the whole wide world RULES is childish and disrespectful.

Next up...Roy L Dennis.

Telling him to shut the fuck up isn't helping matters any.

Now i'm going to ask the two of you to kiss and make up because someone got banned a few weeks ago and I don't want to see anyone else get their ass canned.

Music is music is music...and opinions are opinions are opinions. No-one agrees 100% with anyone else where music is concerned. That's never going to happen. What i want though is for everyone to try not to fall back on personal insults and namecalling when someone says something you don't agree with. Fucks sake people...it's not like he/she came round your house in the morning and took a dump in your cornflakes.

If there are any more insults in this thread then it's simple. I'll close it. End of.

First off, I'm with you on The Rolling Stones, while I love a lot of their shit, the good songs (a.k.a. the ones we hear 24/7) are far outweighed by the meh ones, and they can easily be considered boring.

But The Beatles earned their Sacred Cow status imo, everything is subjective, but with The Beatles' vast array of achievements and styles, I will put it out there right now that if having listened to the whole catalogue, everyone would like at least ONE Beatles song, I just happen to love every one of them, so maybe I'm talking out of my ass.

Carry on, if you will.

Also, if anything, The Beach Boys are underrated.

Show your anger by voting in my Rolling Stone tournament, not a lot of folks are voting.

I'm absolutely 100% with you on that. When I first saw it I wasn't surprised to see that In the Aeroplane Over the Sea wasn't on there....since it wasn't really recognized as a masterpiece until after the list came out. But Teaser and the Firecat? No critic should leave that off of their list, especially out of 500 possible albums to vote for. Also forgetting to put Leonard Cohen, perhaps the greatest lyricist of all time, on that list is pretty silly.

You are are speaking righteous words here. Tea For The Tillerman is still my favourite and is on the list I believe, but Teaser & The Firecat is acers, and it's a crying shame it's not on there. As for Cohen, yeah stupid isn't even the word. And In The Aeroplane... is an instant classic.

Bohemian Rhapsody is probably the most overrated song ever written...quite a number of their songs are pure effing tripe mind, A Kind Of Magic and We Will Rock You spring instantly to mind. Plus Brian May might have a glorious barnet, but he and Roger Taylor are 2 of the most irritating bozo's going.

However, I do like Fat Bottomed Girls, Killer Queen, and Somebody To Love.

While they may be overrated, Queen were responsible for Bohemian Rhapsody, which rules insanely, as well as partly responsible for Under Pressure, which is amazing as hell.

Joy Divison weren't BAD, per say, but they were kind of a one-trick pony. Not sure if I'd consider them overrated, though. In some circles yes, but probably not in the grand scheme of things. I do probably prefer New Order, though.

Oh, and U2 can't be overrated, because they rule.

BOB DYLAN, ANYONE?!? :D

Really, though. Innovative? Yeah. Influential? Hell yeah. A joy to listen to? Every now and then, but surely not enough to warrant all of the praise that he gets.

I will give him credit for writing one of Hendrix's best songs, though. Even though Hendrix was the one who REALLY made it shine. ;)

I used to listen to songs of leonard cohen as a todler, thinking it was the guy I'd seen in kramer vs kramer, I thought wow this kramer guys songs are great, it was not untill i could read I realised it was not him or mr spock from star trek, I recently told my dad how much that record had ment to me all my life and he said he hated it and I was all, you fucking what you used to sing me that album to bed your senile cock!

whatever, i dont have time for sarcastic idiots, that rip the hell out of a band with no reason for it, i made a valid statement, at least say something fucking constructive ffs

Though I dislike Avenged Sevenfold, it's true. You're statement was valid, and people need to stop ripping on eachother, as has been happening recently in this forum.
