Overated Acts:
Do you ever get sick of the music press hailing bands who you consider to be pants?
Which acts in your opinion are overated??? The Strokes *slap* The White Stripes *slap* Oasis (post 1994) *slap* The Libertines *slap* I have more, but I don't wanna piss too many dudes off in one go. Secret Snacker & Accomplished Pen Thief At:

Too true Merlin. Nirvana was good but not that good. If they died down respectively instead of suddenly like they did people wouldn't be worshipping him and raping everything about him.

Radiohead definitely. Talk about a bunch of depressives.
A bit of a shock to see Nirvana up there, 'Nevermind' was a superb album. Of course Kurt the man was a complete tosser, but credit where credit's due! Secret Snacker & Accomplished Pen Thief At:

I always hear this stuff about Trapt on my local rock stations, but I have still yet to see what all the fuss is about...Sound like every other damn no-name rock band out there... *cliché statement*
A very close Japanese friend I knew a while ago once said to me "Watashi no koto wo oboeta, onegai shimasu...Yakusoku?" I forgot his name though... |

Yes, he doesn't sing or play an instrument (as far as I know), all he does is look weird and talk in a raspy voice. Woo, cutting edge.
Travis aren't really 'rated' (hyped), Cylob, so they don't count. |

I hate Aerosmith and Lynerd Skynerd (sp??), and I live in Texas where that is all anyone on the 70's rock station wants to hear.

Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Forgeiner, Lynard Skynard, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Limp Bizket, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Rush, Toto, Creed...they are all very overrated. Shouldn't even be rated. Just not my idea of good music. Yuck.

 But really...I think I might be giving limpbizkit a bit of renewed respect. Hopefully Wes leaving was a wake-up call to Fred to stop with the rap shit. Stop hanging out with people like Redman, DMX, all them rappers...Go back to rock...Either way, their new guitarist Mike just has a harder edge than Wes could ever have. They surpised me when they did a cover on "Sanitarium" on the MTV Icon on Metallica...I didn't think they would ever be THAT good! And how could Rush be overrated? When I found out about their new album "Vapor Trails", I hardly heard any publication about it... ...as for overrated bands, I wanna speak on a Louisville, Ky-local level for a minute here; Outspoken. Compaired to other Louisville bands like Tantric and FLAW, they are just absolute noise...Sorta like what you get when you mix Trapt with a hint of Sum 41...If you havv't heard of Outspoken; GOOD! I hope for the best that you don't... A very close Japanese friend I knew a while ago once said to me "Watashi no koto wo oboeta, onegai shimasu...Yakusoku?" I forgot his name though... |

hmm... KISS?
I have stoped watching MTV (for good reasons) and stoped listening to corporet radio (have this kick ass collage radio that plays non-corporet stuff, and hell some of it is just odd/crap/amazingly insainly good, www.widr.org they have an internet stream too), So I dont know who the biggest band right now is, so I can not really add anything that has not been said. but I feel Staind is over rated by far, their first (mass-market) album was good, but everything passed that sucked. I wonder if I could get away with saying TOOL...  they are about the only good "comercial" band still out there...

I bought this KISS Alive collection...About $27, 2 CDs, about 20 tracks per CD, all live performances...There was one good song on it...Everything else just SUCKED ASS! What a waste of money!

Overrated bands:
Any "new punk" band. You know, the ones with unimaginative arrangements, samey guitar chords, and vocalists that all sound like they have their nuts in a vice. Ja Rule Aerosmith - they're good, but not god-like. Marylin Manson Madonna Metallica - What happened? They used to be awesome. Oh,right. They went sober. Ever notice that always happens? Good band goes sober, music loses that edge they used to have? Godsmack - THEY SUCK! THEY SUCK! THEY SUCK! WHY DOESN'T ANYONE SEE THAT? Evervescance - Since they only have one album out right now, I'll go easy on them, give them room to improve, but the songs they released are not very good. |

I go with all of the above. It's a shame about Madonna, she rocked in the 80's. Now she's just adhering to the rule that artists must become crap with age. Ah well, she was a rebel once.

Alright then! Radiohead aren't depressives, they're a bunch of happy & content chaps who bring us melodic, upbeat summer tunes. Great tunes to whistle to.

I've just played the Libertines album Up the Bracket (heavilly lauded by the experts). It's one of those records where you say at the end 'did I just play an album or not, I can't remember)????? God it's awful!

Nirvana was overrated. Kobain knew the difference between himself and John Lennon. Shame half the country doesnt.
Overrated: Evanescence or whatever. They really brought nothing new to the table, despite that's what everybody says. |

I don't believe the Beatles were overated, it's not as if they wrote crap albums (far from it)! It's easier to disregard them 40 years on, there are mountains of superior music around now. But purists like me will always (to the irritance of some) point back to the 60's and say 'thanks guys for bringing me every album I own'. That's just the way it is, the Beatles laid the egg.

40 years after they hit it big, their CD's still sell like crazy and their music fills the airwaves. Let's stop and think how many bands since the Beatles can that be said about?

that doesn't really prove anything, other than their music is especially wasy for a mass market to consume. i mean - they had a whole lot of good songs, but they were by no means the best band ever that they seem to get labeled as by many people.
i'm not saying they're bad, remember - i'm saying they're overrated...
