[Liberation]

Franz Ferdinand
Green Day
Nirvana
U2
The Killers
Guns and Roses
The Darkness
Keane
Muse
The white Stripes
Who Esle do you think?

[COBHC]

I think rap is overrated. Especially that underground hip hop crap. Nothin but a bunch of monotone rhymes talkin about how bad ass they are in the hood'.

[loudlucy]

you are tripping to think nirvana is over rated. they are one of the greatest rock bands of all time. they are legendary

:shout:

[whocares]

I agree with all those bands, with exception of Guns and Roses.

But clearly the most overated of the remaining bands is U2, man, they aren't that good.

Also In my opinion these are also overated:

- Bad Religion
- Lenny Kravitz

[whereismymind]

You think the white stripes and U2 are overated. I swear to god I will rape you because of this.

[SheBear]

U2 is now definitly over rated with vertigo and the huge stuff they do now, but they are still good.
Also how do you think GNR is over rated? I really don't have any idea if they are or not, but I like them :lol:

[whereismymind]

U2 is now definitly over rated with vertigo and the huge stuff they do now, but they are still good.

Yea I didnt think of that. The only time I think of U2s new stuff is when I see an advertisment for their new cd.

As for overated bands I would give the golden star to Audioslave. End of thread.

[steelscout]

Tool.

Yeah i'm sorry guys, i like a lot of the more intellectual progressive bands, but tool just isn't one of 'em.

[MalYoung]

Jet - They consider themselves as big as AC/DC with only 1 album that they have released
New U2 - Their new stuff is horrible, no grammy should ever be given to them
Nirvana - Just not a good enough band to get all this credit
Green Day - People consider them in the same league as the Ramones, but in reality, they are only OK, (I hate Boulavard of Broken Dreams too)

[Sezril]

Overrated by the public, just about anything on MTV. Overrated by the people I know...

Tool
Radiohead
Dream Theater
Led Zeppelin
Rush

And I like half of those bands, I just think they get a little too much praise.

[/Tilt/]

Here ya go. Take your shots at me.

Led Zeppelin
Nirvana
Pink Floyd (speciafically DSOTM)
Green Day (still love the old stuff)
Aerosmith
The Rolling Stones

[Mr. Pelicula]

To say Led Zeppelin is overated is like saying oxygen really isn't all that necessary...

Anyway, bands I think are overated are:

Tool
Pantera
Green Day

and that's all I can think of. Hmm... :confused:


Aerosmith rules.

[bono_b]

Franz Ferdinand
Green Day
Nirvana
U2
The Killers
Guns and Roses
The Darkness
Keane
Muse
The white Stripes
Who Esle do you think?
I think the same with MOST of them....I think nirvana are overrated even though I like them (or liked..).

[wataba]

I think rap is overrated. Especially that underground hip hop crap. Nothin but a bunch of monotone rhymes talkin about how bad ass they are in the hood'.
He said name a band / some bands, not a fucking genre.

[MalYoung]

Yeah, Zeppelin is overated, most people consider them the founders of metal, which I cant understand why? 1/3 of their songs are acoustic.

[Candyshop]

Alexisonfire
Green Day
Good Charlotte

i seriously want those fuckers to go away. :bang:

[lameassdude]

Hmm... well every band is either overrated or underrated so take your pick.

And also G'n'R is overrated, whoever said that needs to shut the fuck up.

[MalYoung]

Guns N' Roses as a whole are not overrated, but Slash is, look at Velvet Revolver, he doesnt play as well, he needs Izzy!

[Sucrose]

GNR
Zeppelin
Slayer
AC/DC

[YouEnjoyMyself]

Nirvana is the most overated band in history.

They may have started a movement of music, but IMO their music was shit. They may have had insightful lyrics, but there was nothing special about what they played.

And saying Pink Floyd is overated is INSANE.

These albums are overated?:

Wish You Were Here (September 1975)
Animals (January 1977)
The Wall (November 1979)

These albums are fucking fantastic. EVERY aspect about them is fantastic. From the music to the lyrics. Shame on you for calling Pink Floyd overated!

While I dont think Pink Floyd is overrated myself, I DO however think that DSOTM is terribly overrated. Other than that, Pink Floyd is amazing.

[Avo]

Pink Floyd deserve to be over-rated, every album that came out was a masterpiece. It was all well produced, I love there fucking music.

[Beastman]

Franz Ferdinand
Green Day
Nirvana
U2
The Killers
Guns and Roses
The Darkness
Keane
Muse
The white Stripes
Who Esle do you think?
did you say muse??? Get out of my fucking house. Right now. Out.

[Ajax]

Guns N' Roses as a whole are not overrated, but Slash is, look at Velvet Revolver, he doesnt play as well, he needs Izzy!

Slash=Amazing
You=Uninformed

GNR is not overrated, they were amazing, they also deserve to be very famous.

[Kazimierz]

Also In my opinion these are also overated:

- Bad Religion

Your opinion is completely worthless, and words cannot express my hate for you.

The most overrated band is any contemporary band that is compared to any classic, time-tested band.

[Riley]

Does Britney Spears count? Shes not a band but she is so damn overated. Yes she is nice looking, but without makeup she is really pretty plain, her voice is average. I have little respect for so called artists that don't write their own lyrics and can't play an insturment. I have more respect for Avril Lavigne, she can play guitar and writes her own music. Britney rates right up there with Hillary Duff when it comes to talent, zelcho

Just DSOTM IMO.

[Liquid Tension]

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Nirvana
Linkin Park

Not saying the first two bands arent great, but I think they are considered just a little TOO great.

[Mr. Pelicula]

GNR
Zeppelin
Slayer
AC/DC


You now have the right TO DIE!

Seriously though, come on....

Back In Black
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Highway To Hell
Let There Be Rock

4 Rock Albums. 4 Reasons to say your wrong.

[Sucrose]

I cant help it, the only AC/DC song I've ever liked is Hells Bells. I personally don't like their vocalist, I do have respect for Angus though.

[PsiRedEye22]

Phish. 'Nuff said.

[MalYoung]

You now have the right TO DIE!

Seriously though, come on....

Back In Black

4 Rock Albums. 4 Reasons to say your wrong.
Also need to add: High Voltage, Powerage, If You Want Blood, You Got It, For Those About to Rock, Flick of the Switch, Fly On The Wall, '74 Jailbreak, Who Made WhoBlow Up Your Video, The Razors Edge, Live, Ballbreaker, Volts, Live From The Atlantic Studios, Let There Be Rock, the Motion Picture, And Stiff Upper Lip.
Brian Johnson is an amazing vocalist, if you take away his voice from the albums from 1980 - 2000, it wouldnt sound as good.
Bon Scott, if anybody bashes this man they should burn in 100000 times worse than most people in Hell, amazing lyricist and singer.

[Ajax]

Phish. 'Nuff said.

Phish?

I'd say they are underrated

[Disgustipated]

I'd have to disagree with some of you people saying led zeppelin, tool, dream theater, and pantera are overrated. Each of the bands I think is amazing and original in their own way. I'd have to say some of the most overrated bands are motley crue and poison. People considered them metal but honestly they just sucked.

[Kazimierz]

Phish?

I'd say they are underrated

PHISH being called overrated infuriates me exponentially more than saying the same thing about Bad Religion.

I thought we were cool Psi... :censor:

Besides, i think a band has to be relatively "popular" before they can be considered overrated...

[TurbulenceXM]

Phish. 'Nuff said.

You got to be kidding me!

I think Simple Plan is overrated.

[liquid jesus]

pink floyed
nirvana
greenday

[stevib]

i dont know whats overated because i stopped watching music channels and shitty tv music programs in general, to save myself from shit.

[longlaw]

pink floyd and greenday are serverly overated. dont get me wrong, floyd is good, but not as good as most people hype it up to be. And greenday just sucks.

I would have to say bad religion is underated if anything, have you ever heard american jesus?

[killer scott]

idk... i would surely say Good charlotte. but i want to say something else. People keep saying Nirvana is overrated but i dont think they are... i think if they were around today playing that music then they would be but at the time it was like revolutionary shit. Im not saying they were awesome musicians, but thats not the point... They were thinking differently from everyone else at the time... so i dissagree with the bashing of the Nirvana...

and yeha i dont really like Nirvana but i still think they did good things.

as for a few bands i think are over rated... umm a whole fucking lot. the tops of my list are good charlotte, simple plan (those types of bands), umm, all of those girls, (ashly simpson, hilary duff, britany spears, that list goes on)... idk thats it for now i spose...

[killer scott]

stevi b what is tabbed in ur sig... it doesnt sound familiar

[troutflosser]

It seems to me that all of the VH1 artists who are featured are always bad...but highly rated...examples: joss stone (good voice, but too young for her own music if that makes sense) jamie cullum, and jet. also bands like oasis and death cab for cutie. also napoleon dynamite (o wait a sec)

[mps]

*sigh*

Syd Barrett was the man. Syd Barrett was Pink Floyd; he took them from relative unknowns with no direction, into psychedelic kings. Then he was kicked out, and they lost their creativity.

So the remaining pawns decided upon Gilmour as his replacement; a man with no songwriting background - just nifty guitar work. Gilmour was a more technical player than Barret, but he lacked the heart to fuel a band, and he lacked the balls to tell things as they were. Syd laced his coffee with LSD, spilled the depths of his brain through his Telecaster and went insane; Gilmour knew how to play arpeggios.

After Barrett left, Pink Floyd crashed - hard. They released some terrible albums, and they weren't writing as a band, and to make up for their lack of creativity, they started playing spacerock. It’s a substitute for hard work – sporadic notes in a blue tonal background. Its mysterious enough to pique interesting and stave off criticism, because you can’t tell if they’re trying to pull one over on you, or if they’re just trying to get through their contract.

Then, somehow, they pulled their shit together and released Dark Side..., which came out of nowhere - but managed to free them of their "Barrett" chains. Their masterpiece, their tour-de-force; of course their meaning PF sans Barrett.

And things were good. For a while.

But eventually a band needs to write a follow-up to a masterpiece - and that was Wish You Were Here, which was anything but a masterpiece. It was a safe album - one that the critics couldn't stomp on because it was a safe tribute to their creator, and one the fans would buy, because it was the safe manufactured sound. Wish You... was still a thousand times better than anything post-Barrett (save for DSOTM), but it wasn't original, it wasn't progressive, it wasn't really anything except a hammering-home of the "spacerock" that PF created post-Barrett.

The Wall was a conceptual gem, but a musical nightmare. Their creativity was spent, and Ezrin (the producer I think) was responsible for all those disco-riffs littered throughout the album. Again, that was safe because the masses would buy it. Instead of focusing on the composition, their “I’m the leader ‘cause I said so” frontman Waters worked on the live show. The goal, one assumes, is that by making the performance of the art more substantial than the art itself, that will somehow make up for the oversight. It worked.

Animals was good, and it's my favourite - but it not the best of Floyd by any means.

Sacrificing composition for production kills creativity, stifles progression, and splits bands up. Pink Floyd went from psychedelic kings, to spacerock hacks, to chart topping tools, to ass-kissing beggars, to irritated performers. Piper was the peak, Dark Side was the reprise, everything else falls somewhere in the middle.

Barrett was Floyd. A Floyd with a Barrett is barely a Floyd at all.

Pink Floyd is overrated.

P.S. Nirvana is overrated because they suck.

[Travmire]

I think Elvis is overrated. I don't like any of his songs, and his movies are even worse. I know I am out of the generation range for him, but I don't see him as King of anything anymore. I understand and appreciate the impact he had on music, but I don't like his songs.

I don't think Nirvana is overrated. Kurt Cobain is at times, but I don't think Nirvana is.

[killer scott]

yeah i just wanted to re-interate my point...

Take The Ramones. People will listen to them now and be like... WTF. and it doesnt sound like anything special. So they will be like these guys are increadibly over rated. Thats only because today its been way over done because of the huge impact The Ramones had on music. It sounds common place... When they were playing it though, they were like increadibly creative musicians... they were like thinking outside the box of popular culture. the only reason now it sounds so over rated is because everyone copied them, and it became common music.

[Nacho]

Yeah, Zeppelin is overated, most people consider them the founders of metal, which I cant understand why? 1/3 of their songs are acoustic.
Wow you are a fucking dumbass.......Noone considers them founders of metal.....Their music is'nt even metal.....and zeppelin is in no way overrated, they are one of (if not) the best bands ever :bang:

[sk0rch]

I love ACDC, but I think half of their songs just sound the same.

[Disgustipated]

stevi b what is tabbed in ur sig... it doesnt sound familiar

It's part of Orion by Metallica.

[Ben]

U2
Green Day - Only there new album, their old stuff is good


Yeah, those bands... oh yeah, these too:

Led Zeppelin
ACDC
Jimi Hendrix
Van Halen
SRV






















I am shitting you.

[BrainStew]

Pink Floyd
go ahead, bite my head off, I don't like them. :shout:

Los Lonely Boys
I swear, everybody orgasms over them except us in their home town. :shout:

Cannibal Corpse
VERY overrated in the metal community. the vocals totally drown out everything else, and his growl sucks :shout:

[Karnage]

Greenday, and most gangster rappers and pop singers, they all just follow the same trend.

[mrdominoe2000]

usher is way overrated
yes he can dance, but is it really that hard to write a whiny "i want you back" love song?

[spunkypunky]

i think usher is awesome....but i think that along with everyone else u2 sucks...but i do like the killers too....

[temp100]

Wow you are a fucking dumbass.......Noone considers them founders of metal.....Their music is'nt even metal.....and zeppelin is in no way overrated, they are one of (if not) the best bands ever :bang:

Ummm... actually a lot of people consider Led Zep to be founders of metal. I am not sure myself, but this my interpretation.

Led Zep and Black Sabbath have a lot more in common than you would think and they were the bands who carried on from the Doors which were supposedly one of the first big bands to use darker lyrics. "Darker" as in bands which changed from happy folk stuff to Doors/LZ/Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath actually started the doom/heavy music and Led Zeppelin put in the fast riffs. Combine them both, add in a bit of Deep Purple and you have metal!!! I think of Judas Priest as the result of this. Elements of metal came from different bands (Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zep etc.) but Led Zep was one of the main ones. These elements were probably things such as down tuning, heavier music, darker lyrics, faster riffs, more technical music, power chords etc. I don't know much about the theoretical side of music, but that is what I understand it to be.

[Liberation]

:bang: I don't think Led Zepplin are overrated, however i must take back what i said about guns and roses, Slash is overrated! Even tho he isn't a band...

[kthurmus]

First I don't know how how anyone can say that Nirvana is overrated, they did more in a short peoriod, then most bands can do in a lifetime. They didn't go mainstream, mainstream went Nirvana. I am not going to list off any overrated bands, however I will say that a underrated band is Weezer.

[Mr. Pelicula]

Okay, to put it in not-so-technical terms (that ain't too rock),

Sabbath were the founders of Metal.
Zeppelin were the pioneers of Hard Rock.

Hard Rock = Zeppelin
Metal = Sabbath

[Sublime]

Fraz ferdinand is not over rated there good...then again i am scottish but the killers come on thats a dead give away there a really shitty band, that hype about Mr. Brightside when i hear that song i want to die :banghead: plus I dont no if you saw them on the tube with there british like accents there from Las vegas and yet they talk with a british accent what is with that U2 is ok dont care for them Nirvana Grunge was born and bassically died with them..

[Sublime]

Yeah, Zeppelin is overated, most people consider them the founders of metal, which I cant understand why? 1/3 of their songs are acoustic.

yea...maybe rock they are def not overrated you probably think that cuz radio stations keep playing stairway which is good but i get sick of hear there better song that i always love to hear is achillies last stand and like stairway and bon-y-ure stamp(always get spelling wrong) and like fool in the rain have acoustic in the begining

[Liberation]

Franz Ferninands and The Killers are Overrated. There a flash in the pan, Who would of heard of Franz Ferdinand In 10 years Time??

[sk0rch]

No they're not cause I have never heard of them. :)

[Travmire]

Green Day has gotten way overrated. I was at the store and saw a magazine with them on the cover that said "Green Day, the saviors of rock".

I like there music, but that is too far. I think Boluvard of Broken Dreams is overrated too. I consider it their third or fourth best song on American Idiot. I like Jesus of Suburbia the best.

I don't think that the Killers or Franz Ferdinand are that overrated because I don't see them as even being rated. I don't know anyone that has their CD's, and the only place I ever hear them played is on FUSE or MTV 2.

I think their CD's are pretty good too. They sound original to me, and I like that.

[stateless]

I don't think Radiohead are overrated. At least they are doing something original, and change their music. I agree about Franz Ferdinand though. I can see how their music can come across as catchy to some, but it seems rather run of the mill to me

[Liberation]

I should of really called this topic Overated Band in The U.K :rolleyes:

[Ajax]

Slash is overrated! Even tho he isn't a band...

Slash? Slash is amazing! If you actually took the time to listen to his work (GNR, Slash's snakepit and Velvet Revolver) you would know how amazing he is.

[UltimateFIEND78]

I don't think U2 is overated. Well not back in the day at least. But now they're just full of themselves. Guns n roses, definetly in my oppinion. They used to be hardcore rock, but Axle brought them down. So now I listen to Velvet Revolver, which is like GNR before they became faggots. And the Darkness isn't overated. At least not where I live. In my area, they're underated. I'm the only person I know who likes them.

[the_judge]

Green Day has gotten way overrated. I was at the store and saw a magazine with them on the cover that said "Green Day, the saviors of rock".

Hahaha, wasn't it joke magazine? Dude, Green Day is good but they aren't the saviors of rock, that's way too ahead for them.

[Mount_Happy]

Any band like Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, etc that are still alive are overrated, theyd even be overrated if they were remembered after they died out.

And Slash being overrated is bullshit, hes an extremely creative guitar player and has come up with some of the best riffs rock n roll has ever seen.

[Face Plant]

Too many to list, but one band I could never figure why they were so popular is

Pearl Jam

[MalYoung]

yea...maybe rock they are def not overrated you probably think that cuz radio stations keep playing stairway which is good but i get sick of hear there better song that i always love to hear is achillies last stand and like stairway and bon-y-ure stamp(always get spelling wrong) and like fool in the rain have acoustic in the begining
No, I have every album but Physical Graphiti, and about 1/3 of their songs are Acoustic.
And God do I hate that damn boulevard of broken dreams song, that is one of the worst songs in years

[Acacia Tree]

AC/DC
*lifts up shield impervius to negative backlash*

[MalYoung]

Hardly, if anything, they are underrated

Hardly, if anything, they are underrated



ac/dc is not underrated

they are way overrated

[MalYoung]

ac/dc is not underrated

they are way overrated
Once again, the only overrated song is You Shook Me All Night Long, the rest of their music is very underrated, including the 1983 - 1988 years and the Bons Scott Era

[Pwn$t3r]

Slipknot is overrated...i hope one day the all die of a VD

[Mount_Happy]

ac/dc is not underrated

they are way overrated
your a dumbass.

AC/DC overrated? Is that why theyve survived over 30 years while sticking to their blues based rock roots. Go listen to Powerage then come back here and tell me they are overrated.

[Acacia Tree]

Really the thing IMO that contributes to how great a band is, is its range. AC/DC are great at what they do but only that, its almost like they never experimented.

[Sezril]

AC/DC? Underrated?

Yeah, and Rush is underground. :rolleyes:

[Mount_Happy]

Really the thing IMO that contributes to how great a band is, is its range. AC/DC are great at what they do but only that, its almost like they never experimented.
again...take a listen to Powerage, its their most widely ranged album, every song on there is noticably different.

[Codeman211]

Too many to list, but one band I could never figure why they were so popular is

Pearl Jam
Have you heard any of Pearl Jam besides the singles from Ten? They kick ass and are one of the top 5 bands of the 90's

[Acacia Tree]

again...take a listen to Powerage, its their most widely ranged album, every song on there is noticably different.
I'm sure it is but should all songs from each album be noticably different.

[MalYoung]

Almost no AC/DC song but the mainstream songs sound alike, especially during the Bon Scott era

[Acacia Tree]

Bah whatever, it depends on how broad of a spectrum of music you listen to.

[Liberation]

I'm not much of a fan of Acdc or any other music of that style but I know one thing is that they are not overrated, They are Ledgends.

[zamphir66]

AC/DC makes me think of monster truck rallies, rebel flags, and huffing paint. But that's just me.

[Travmire]

AC/DC makes me think of monster truck rallies, rebel flags, and huffing paint. But that's just me.

I get the same image with Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[zamphir66]

I get the same image with Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Me too.

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

[salsa_shark]

Evanescence...they're almost painfully overrated.

[Liberation]

LoL they were overrated and where always on the music channels, now they kind of faded out

[zamphir66]

The Libertines...I mean come on, could you get any more asinine?

[Liberation]

The Libertines...I mean come on, could you get any more asinine?

Have You actually ever listened to The libertines? Obviously Not!
Asinine:
Utterly stupid or silly: asinine behavior.
Of, relating to, or resembling an ass.

If your trying to say there overrated you obviously havn't watched any award shows and watched them get robbed of every award they've been nominated for by the likes of Franz Ferdinand. (with The Exception of the Nme awards, they not what there on about)

[ghostface]

I think Zamphir just said that to piss you off, because of your avatar. Maybe.
I think that Franz Ferdinand is overrated because they only have one album, and they think they're so cool because they had a major hit (Take Me Out). While I like Jet, I agree that they are overrated. They were picked to go on tour with OASIS. :rolleyes: I mean they only have one album with four hits on it. Jeez.

[strikeandburn]

Nirvana.. have like 1 good cd full of alright songs.. Its pretty good but i think a lot of the songs sound the same.
Guns N' Roses .. good band and all..but not as good as i would have expected
Jimi Hendrix.. great guitarist and all.. but meh
The Eagles.. best selling cd of all time? hard to believe, but back in the day.. i guess
Micheal JAckson.. 2nd? he has like 3 alright songs..hey.. wheres little tommy?
Tupac.. erm its not a band..
Most rap hip hop shit.
Britney spears.. i purchased her one more time cd.. please people don't come to my door and kill me cause i did. 1 GOOD SONG ON IT! the rest SUCKED!
Ac/Dc<--- i take that back, i am now addicted to Ac/Dc thats what i get for listening to 1 album then purchasing another.
Kiss (destroyer is only good cd)

[fadetoblack5297]

you've got it all good til AC/DC and The Eagles. Definitely not two of the best bands ever, but also definitely not overrated.

i'll expand on some of what you have...

Nirvana: Kurt Cobain was a great songwriter but they were way too highly acclaimed and overplayed.
Guns N' Roses: Welcome to the Jungle was an ok song when it came out but, i mean, anyone can make a song about doing drugs. Axl Rose is a whiny little bitch too. White boy with cornrows...pathetic
Jimi Hendrix: Probably one of the most overrated guitarists of all time. Relied way too heavily on distortion and feedback to create his sound. Butchered the National Anthem.

[ypsidan04]

Green Day, Nirvana, Korn


Led Zeppelin


Impossible.

Slash

Impossible.

Evanescence...they're almost painfully overrated.

I'm know they get a lot of attention, but they deserve all of it.

[GuitarHero]

Every modern "so called" rock band around at the moment.

Franz Ferdinad
Killers
Keane
etc...

I have such a hatred for modern music.

[rapsucks15]

The number one most over rated band is obviously led zepplin

[/Tilt/]

Nirvana killed music and gets praise for it.

[sk0rch]

You're crazy. :insane:

[Liberation]

Every modern "so called" rock band around at the moment.

Franz Ferdinad
Killers
Keane
etc...

I have such a hatred for modern music.

Yes they have released one album, if you ask me the second album by a new band is more important than the first. It proves there not just a fluke. Also the second album will ruin bands such as Franz Ferdinand, Keane, the killers ect..

[fadetoblack5297]

You're crazy. :insane:
He's not crazy, he's right.
I'll admit, Kurt Cobain was a pretty good songwriter. That's all Nirvana had going for them. The music sounded sloppy and unpracticed. There was no skill involed with their songs. Kurt would just turn out a song and it seemed like they just put a tune to it.
Just cause Cobain killed himself, everyone thinks they have to feel bad for him. I would kill myself too if i was married to that [Courtney Love]. They're overplaed on the radio and, like /Tilt/ said, they receive praise for ruining music.
