I like Paramore. Maybe it's cuz the singer chick is hot.

Never liked Dave Matthews Band. Annoying.

Ke$ha needs to go away, someplace far far away, like someplace where she ceases to live and her "music" never exists.

Speaking of Paramore, anybody see that topless photo of that singer chick?

Those death/black/what-the-****-ever metal bands that have a bunch of growling and talk about hating god (at least that's what I think they are about) :lol:. Thinking about their existence gives me some good comic relief, but as far as actually listening to them goes... I can't really do it.

Paramore has generic songs but... I can't get over Hayley Williams :P

I do like Carah Faye Charnow from Versant (was from Shiny Toy Guns but got kicked out/left) and their music is.... Well, each song is relatively different which is a good change.

She's hot too. TEHE.

Sorry, I know we're supposed to talk about overrated bands but... A lot of people said Paramore and, though I do agree that their music isn't original, Hayley Williams isn't a bad singer.

From Lykathea Aflame's Elvenefris

Any negative emotion as a response
for stimulus from envious arisen in us
show us that we are still within power
of superficial dimension and teach us


As the Sun for the Earth let's become salvation
let creatures flower
and shine under the touches of beautiful energy
Perhaps it can't be seen
but they are starving and thirsty; they're eager

As a mirror light let's reflect negativity
and show pure reality
let's become the islands of peace and harmony
in that vast ocean of discomposure and disharmony


So much for our disdain for your non-existent god.

Totally, I'm sure every band in that sub-genre (whatever it's called) is just as nice and flowery... maybe even sweeter! I don't see the point in putting so much effort into detesting a "non-existent" being.

I agree with your 2 & 3. I do happen to enjoy LCD soundsystem though he is overrated probably. I would probably add MGMT to your list, as well as every band you hear on rock radio (Godsmack, three days grace, breaking benjamin, etc)

Heh, yeah. I don't really see what's all that progressive about them anyway; I like PT but they seem like an above average rock band more than anything. Their sound certainly isn't as diverse and dynamic as Pink Floyd's or King Crimson's.

Well, the singers actually, well... sing, in that subgenre, as opposed to certain other subgenres. Me, I dunno. Not like I can name all that many bands. I'd say BrokenCYDE, but... it's not that I don't understand the appeal (likely because they just sound "edgy" to a younger crowd, I guess), it's just that they're really, really BAD.

Someone mentioned Kesha earlier... I concur. Completely lost on me.

Especially when she decides to do a song that has the same name as another, better song.

As a matter of fact, that's happenedbefore...

Dragonforce is an anomaly. They suck slightly less than Yngwie Malmsteen. I blame Guitar Hero for their underserved fame. Everyone says that they are the hardest to play on Guitar Hero, but on a real guitar, it is not that bad. Their music is cheesy and bad, despite how badly you have to bash your corny plastic guitar input controller.

completely agree. Although I do like PT....They aren't even in the same league as Pink Floyd......or KC for that matter. But I do know quite a few people who swear that PT are right up there with PF in a sense.......I have a really hard time wrapping my mind around that.....but hey it's all about personal taste in the end....who am I to argue?

Something I think I can agree with :P Sometimes it's a wonder how people can't enjoy something so simple? You want to portray extremity? You've got to go extreme. How people can listen to tame music 24/7 is beyond me - it has to get boring to never break the boundaries.
