zepman71

But you said they created it >_>

Anyone other than Bob Dylan and the Band. I'm very pretentious when it comes to music:roll: And I add a major *SCOFF* to all those who say the beatles...

AC/DC- the singer's voice is freakin annoying

dragonforce- lame, the guitarist are good thats about all i give them credit for, if only they played good music.

Nickelback- i don't even know if they are rated but they're on the radio, that rockstar song could be the worst song ive ever heard, and embarassment that these idiots are considered a rock band.

Nickleback for sure. Wikipidea already has it written down better then I can write it, with the reasons why it's not a good band but has been succesful anyway. Basically it's all about radio play.

If you want my opinion anyway, they are boring. So very, very boring.

[QUOTE="zepman71"]

[QUOTE="-SPECTER-MIKE"] I dont care that they didnt create it, they brought it to the masses which is an achievement, which means they are not overrated,-SPECTER-MIKE

But you said they created it >_>

I never said they didn't :? They popularised it, but there were better bands doing the same things in the 80s IMO. Kurt was a great songwriter though I do admit, had a good ear for a hook

it's already been settled that the beatles are the most overrated band stop posting itt.

Post Back in Black AC/DC is pretty much the same song over and over...

The_AI

Even big AC/DC fans (like me) don't really like much post-Back in Black (I like some of For Those About to Rock and The Razor's Edge, also like Black Ice, but stuff like Fly on the Wall is trash).

Why must people call The Beatles overrated :( IMO they're one of the few bands who deserves the monumentus praise heaped upon them

But early Beatles were still excellent...A Hard Days Night for example is a pop masterpiece, and their early singles are still fantastic, regardless of how 'simple' they are. Complex =/= good

And who settled that the Beatles were the most overrated?>_>

[QUOTE="rubbersouI"]

actually i like the beatles, what i don't like is people saying they're the greatest band ever only because it's the popular opinion and they don't want to seem uncool.

# 1 would have to be AC/DC. Others would be Rush, Metallica, Nickleback, Guns N Roses, U2, The Beach Boys...:P raven_squad

this thread sucks

[QUOTE="zepman71"]

[QUOTE="Lockedge"] Aye. The worst thing is hearing people who've year half of the white album chirp in during a music discussion about how the Beatles are the best band ever. Early Beatles was all about the simple, easy-going pop melodies...the same kind of pop melodies we hear these days. It's how they evolved as songwriters and how they worked with each other that made them so effective as time went on. I don't even enjoy a lot of music by the beatles, but I can appreciate their songwriting. However, yellow Submarine is unforgivable....

Low = awesome. That is all. :)

My definition of over rated is when fans don't understand that other taste occurs...with that said........Tool.LJS9502_basic

Oh HELL NAW!!

Led Zeppelin

Jimmy Page is a widely overrated guitarist as well.

cyberdarkkid

A little band called Radiohead.

Radiohead and Coldplay, along with a myriad of others.

Opeth, Amon Amarth, etc.

All bands that i like are underrated.

All bands that you like are overrated.

The Sex Pistols. Held up as the poster child of a whole movement of music but they were totally crap.

Opeth, Amon Amarth, etc.

Hot-Tamale

You blasphemer:evil:.

Probably Queensryche, that band is repulsive.

:evil: That had better not be related to my Opeth comment...:x

Queensryche is an absolutely godly band with the best singer in metal history: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvMdNJ_dTGQ

Opeth, Amon Amarth, etc.

Hot-Tamale

I wouldn't exactly consider Amon Amarth popular enough to be over rated.blackngold29

The Sex Pistols. Held up as the poster child of a whole movement of music but they were totally crap.

jahnerd

I couldn't agree more. As much as I enjoy their album from time to time, it really isn't as great as some made it out to be.

The Clash were definitely the best original punk band.

Not as overrated as Ramones and The Sex Pistols, though.

They're musics pretty meh to me, London Calling for example. Gang of Four's 'Entertainment!', released that same year, was much better and arguably more important as well

I enjoy Gang of Four as well but let's face it....they didn't bring the sound forward to the publics attention.

I was referring to the whole album, bar a few songs :P And I think you're underestimating GO4's influence on alot of bands, they were kind of Velvet Underground-ish in that the album wasn't massively popular, but everyone who heard it took it as an influence and then those influences passed down through whoever and whatever, I'm probably sounding like a big geek now :oops:

Queen.

zepman71

I'm not talking influences because they take time to develop. Whether one likes The Clash or not, though, they were influential. And they helped popularize punk. Which I think is the best thing to have occured in music. Definitely was needed.

Queen.
