Overrated bands

[The Gemini Method]

Another mystery...is how did a Raider fan become a Radiohead fan? Hmm...

[Soul_Patch]

I always thought these guys could be considered pretty overrated



But if i was a kid in mexico, i would probably thing differently.

You know when you hear greatness.

[The Gemini Method]

Though, I could imagine hearing Reckoner being played in the Black Hole...

Bob Marley is overrated. Tosh and Bunny Wailer ftw.

It's all about The Stones. One of the greatest Rock and Roll bands of ALL TIME! There is no denying this despite the fact that most of you weren't born before most of their biggest hits. They were instrumental in shaping rock music into what it has become today.

Dude the Stone have been utter since 1972. They really hit their peek in 1969, but once Brian Jones was ted on by Mick and Keith, the Stones died.

I went to see them at the forum a couple of years ago and I wish they would have played the songs more like they did in the 60's with some soul and some panache, instead of having the es in th background singing a basterdised version of satisfaction.

The Beatles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Stones

dets funny. you wanna talk about an overrated band.

[der Kaiser]

Yea, but at the same time, it makes music easier to get in to. I got into David Bowie after I got one of his greatest hits albums for a b-day, and immediately went out on got all of his other . It can be kind of overwhelming trying to get into a older group with a huge catalog of music. A greatest hits album sometimes can help point the way towards which albums to start out with. Although I get what your saying.

What he said. ^

[ATRAIN]

What does overrated even mean? arent all bands overrated by at least some grouping of people?

I was thinking that too. Overrated by WHOM? The person posting, people who arent fans, critics? I think its all a bit ridiculous.

[leemajors]

I like a lot of overrated bands.

[ATRAIN]

^^^ Ill take "Overrated" over crap like Buckethead any day of the ing week.

[Cry Havoc]

You can tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to. And Fallout Boy is pretty ing gay. I was never that good at math but even I can add this one up. That post had so many emo undertones even my wrists are bleeding right now. If faced with the choice of listening to a Fallout Boy album or being with that girl in the Miller Lite commercial who keeps asking the dude if he'd save her over his dog or his mom or his beer and then walks away when he hesitates on the beer part, I'd ing marry that girl.

I can do this all day. Bad music is so easy to on. They ruined "Beat It". May they rot in .

Deuces.

This is easy to discuss.

How many "hard rock" or "metal" bands have written emo lyrics? Metallica has one of the most emo songs of all time in "The Unforgiven". If you were to put an acoustic set behind Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", the lyrics become pretty emo themselves.

The list goes on. Smashing Pumpkins? Have you read the lyrics to Stand Inside your Love? Chevelle's "Am I Alone in Here"? Come up with a rock band and I can almost invariably start firing out songs they wrote which have incredibly emo lyrics.

It's funny how the term "emo" gets tossed about, and yet it seems to contain extremely common themes to all rock music. I guess because it doesn't have that synthesized guitar grind, it makes it that much less manly to talk about love and women.

You are soooo emo Havoc.

Seeing him cry was priceless. They should have a show called Band Therapy on VH1.

He was so EMO hahahha

From Wikipedia

"Metallica asked for Dave Mustaine's approval to show footage of a 2001 interview between him and Ulrich, for Some Kind of Monster. Although Mustaine denied the request, he had signed a release form and Metallica proceeded to use the footage. Mustaine claims that it marked "the final betrayal," and that he has given up hope of ever recording with or becoming friends with Metallica members."

poor bas

[urunobili]

I thought it was funny how they ed Mustaine over 1 last time.

though the most current overrated band is Megadeth / Fall Out Boy

[Muser]

AC/DC, I still like them, but I really can't listen to them for over 3/4 songs.

[slayermin]

You'd better Run to the Hills after that comment.

I would never state it in public. I think Maiden fans are awesome. Their roadies bought me a guinness at Waxy's on the RiverWalk when they were in town.

I'm just not a big fan of their music. No doubt they are great musicians.

[Cry Havoc]

You are soooo emo Havoc.

What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of me slitting my own wrists.

[midnightpulp]

but I have the history to back me up on both fronts. There is no band to bring ambient and avant-garde styles into rock music before Radiohead. There is no history before them. The Beatles recorded tracks, but didn't release them, and when they did it sounded awful. Radiohead made it a style, and that style is what Alternative music is today. That style is what you hear in Coldplay, Muse, The Killers, MGMT and the thousands of other bands that are out now. Radiohead changed music.

Old thread, I know. But I have to comment on this:

See Krautrock. And see David Bowie's late 70s experimental period.
