Should be an interesting thread.

Won't put up a poll because it's too subjective.

Will throw out some names though (which I may or may not agree with)

The Beatles, Metallica, Tool, The Darkness, Faith No More, Radiohead, The Mars Volta, Nirvana, U2...

Or whoever.

Tupac

The Beatles, The Mars Volta, U2, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, H.I.M.

-AC

Nirvana, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and The Darkness

Nirvana and U2

Reasons wouldn't go amiss.

The Beatles: Because they're referred to as the best band ever.

The Mars Volta: Because while really good, aren't as good as everyone claims.

U2: Legends by reputation only. Like The Beatles but with shit music.

Nirvana: A great band but not even the best of the "grunge" bands, let alone best ever.

Pink Floyd: Same as The Beatles but with lesser music.

H.I.M: Claimed to be some ultra unique band when they're not doing anything special at all.

Nirvana: referred to as the best grunge band, when they clearly weren't.
U2: boring plain rock and outlived their welcome by a long way.

Tool, Tupac, Eminem, Coldplay, Kasier Chiefs, Bloc Party, Oasis, The Beatles, Kayne West, U2, Trivium, The Used, My Chemical Romance & Green Day

Elvis. He took what so many people had done before, and much better (Chuck Berry, take a bow) and made it white, i.e. bland.

Nirvana, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and The Darkness
Nirvana: Great band, but not that great.
The Beatles: As much as I love them, they aren`t the BEST band ever.
Pink Floyd: They aren`t as great as everyone makes them out to be.
The Darkness: This generation`s Queen? Pfft, whatever.
Additions
Green Day: They`ve had some great songs, but they aren`t the best band ever. Just because they wear eyeliner and have mohawks doesn`t make them punk.
Coldplay: They`re stuff bores me and all their songs sound the same. I don`t see why everyone thinks they`re so great
Kayne West: So he makes songs that are serious and mean something....so does most of the underground rap scene.

Nirvana easily. Kurt cobain is given all this credit simply because he died young. He is called a revolutionary because he changed music. Really? I remember him being in the mtv darling band of a three year fad in music, but I don't remember him revolutionizing anything.

Actual thats just general feelings towards you, and if you think its any sort of impression other then memory relapse then keep thinking those 'wonderful' presumptions of flattery. Your nothing i've not seen before on these sites, and doubt i won't see again.

Please , the beatles arent overrated. They are great and they deserves all the reconigze and ever more. Same with U2, one of the best bands in 80s and 90s. Pink Floyd maybe a little overrated, but they have great songs.

Nirvana mostly. Especially Kurt Cobain. People just need to get over him, he was nothing special.

So how about we all join hands and enjoy the thread. Aka, some reasons behind the myriad of artists you named.

-AC

Well Wicker, you could have avoided it by just stating why you think tool are overrated...but ok...

Man, U2 is a great band. They are actually a musical reference for the new generations and their stuff was great. One of the best bands in 80s anbd 90s without discussion.

And lennon and macartney overrated as solo artitsts? Songs like jealous guy, imagine, woman, mother, mind games, instant karma, no more lonely nights, band on the run, live or live and let die overrated?

No they're not. Certainly not without discussion. All you say, about ANY band, is "Reference for new generations. Influential. Best without question." Then again, if you like U2, fine. To say they're not overrated is ridiculous.

Swear I've seen you say this, literally, about 14 times...

Anyway, Imagine is possibly the most overrated (and also contradictory) song of all time. Don't get me wrong, I love that song. I just think it gets more credit than it should. Getting hailed as the best song ever, when it's clearly not.

A fine band indeed, but the new album blows. They've got their strong points, but The Edge sucks. A lot.

Imagine is one of the best songs ever.

What is absurd is to post that U2 are overrated. The excelent stuff that they made, the great songs that they have, concerts like rattle and hun, etc. They are great. Maybe , today they arent as good as they were, their actual stuff isnt as great as always, but the things that they did in the past is more than enought to proove their musical relevance and importance.

And centauri, please, dont keep with your usual crap about " not, they arent," and " i proved it only posting that they arent great". Its getting pretty old.

Don't talk to me of getting old, you've posted the same things about 10 times across 3 or 4 threads.

Either way, on topic. Who do you think are overrated?

-AC

Well, back on topic.

I think that pink floyd are overrated, their stuff is good, but not as good as they are ranked.

Nirvana is overrated, i find their main stuff boring and not relevant at all.

I think that rod stewart is overrated, he has a great voice, but his stuff is too repetitive and actually is a little boring.

I will post some more people later.

Nirvana definitely.. I think Led Zepplin is over-rated

U2, Green Day, Coldplay, and about 95% of what MTV plays.

U2- same shit over and over again.

Green Day- never was too big a fan of green day. they've been around for a long while. one f*ck bush song comes out now they are the "best" thing around.

Coldplay- same song played over and over and over and over and over

the beatles...nothing but a pop band...as we established already in other threads

franz ferdinand...pish...simple as that

neil young...done nothing that other people of his era did several times better

maroon 5...why the big deal?...they're a watered down "train" and even train were shite

Greenday-They're my favorite band, but still get way too much credit.
Queen-Freddy had some talent, but some talent can only take you so far.
U2-I can't stand U2, they are in the rock and roll hall of fame, and Van Halen isn't.

Precisely.

-AC

Jay-z

u2 were decent when they had something relevant to say to people...they now have so much money and are so far detatched from most peoples reality that nothing they say matters anymore...by that token the message of their songs doesn't connect with people any more...an sun su ki or whoever might be a great inspiration to the people of wherever she's from...but i couldn't really care less...i want the music to mean something to me...

not to mention that i dont know how many albums they'll get away with using that same shitty guitar sound

Trivium. People are praising them like they are at the cutting edge of metal and are super-innovative, when really all I hear is a young sound on old riffs that have been played better by other bands.

That's true but I'd hardly say they're the most overrated ever.

oh yeah, I forgot U2

Trivium? Dont you have to Have some sort of Recognition to Be overrated? That said considering the guys are my age They have a good bit of talent, pretty good live to. Nice addition too Ozzfest.

Beatles -- Face it, they're not the best ever.
U2 -- I simply don't like them, they put out shite and people worship it. And they can't count
Nirvana -- as much as I love the band, there are better.
Elvis -- I dunno, something about his music grates on me. It's annoying and repetitive.
Pink Floyd -- while they're good, they are not the best ever, as many people seem to think.
Coldplay -- all their songs sound exactly the same.....

Iron Maiden- Nowhere near as good everybody say they are, sold on a image, Paul Di'Anno is a cheesy vocalist.

****ed up in my last post, meant to say Bruce Dickenson.

Im not disputing that U2 are overrated, but to say all their songs sound the same seems a bit of a stretch. If you take The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby and Zooropa for example you can clearly see there style changing somewhat. I agree their recent stuff is abysmal though.

U2's longevity, ingenuity, and creativity apparently aren't being taken into consideration here. Most pop bands don't last 27 years.

I considered their creativity which is precisely why I called them overrated.

The emperor's new clothes if ever there was a case.

The deal isn't big at all. We were just taking our seats and getting ready for the carnage. Forgive me, I'm easily entertained.

All of The Above...

a lot of people like them and i dont that is my reasons flame till i cant stand i dont care

Is that a "I don't understand them and feel left out, therefore I don't like them" comment or a "Disliking them to be different" comment?

-AC

i dont like their music if thats ok with everyone

asks this question



then begins to answer own question...all the while baiting another answer

How are U2 overrated? Fair enough they do get more airtime and tv time than most other musicians but at the end of the day half of U2's appeal is made up of the charity work they do

Exactly.

"They're great musicians and they make great music" "Why?" "Because they're good people."

-AC

Razorlight - The songs are dull, the band are dull, and everyone's loving them for some bizarre reason.

Nirvana - I like Nirvana, have all the albums but I don't listen to them much anymore. They're reputation and "story" supercedes how good they actually are.

U2 - Again, I like U2, but seriously, any U2 song no matter how good or mediocre, will be a success. I rate them as pop musicians, and I like a great deal of their songs, but wow do people blow them all out of proportion.

The Beatles - Probably the most over-rated band of all time. Seriously, they made some decent songs, all perfectly fine, but to say they were the best simply because they were there first is laughable. Their place in music history is unquestionable, it's just that a LOT of bands have betterred them.

u2 are overrated...and so are the Beatles...But I cannot believe someone had the Audacity to say Queen are overrated!

nirvana is a little. I still love the band though...and exactly who does everyone think the best Grunge band is? Alice In chains are IMO overrall, but Nirvana has songs I like alot more then any in AIC catalog.

oh and please dont say Pearl Jam are the best....Id have to kill a kitten as someone put it earlier.

Anyway Jimi Hendrix is a little overrated too...At Least I think so. I mean he is everyone's reflex answer to "Greatest Guitarist Ever"...I think thats a lil too much.. I mean there are other people up for debate for that title.

Going to throw NIN out there.

I could see how someone could say they are. Granted NIN was way better back in Pretty Hate Machine's Days...and TDS of course... , but I personally dont think they are really.

I think the Eagles are overrated...The Band and the Football Team =P

NIN are overrated beyond belief.

Off the back of a very good album and an excellent album they/he gets put alongside bands like Tool, needlessly.

-AC

U2
Sex Pistols
Green Day (love them to death but there not THAT great)
Nirvana (Same thing as Green Day)
Led Zeppelin (Great band, but played on the radio way to much)
KISS (ALRIGHT I GET IT, GENE LIKES SEX)

Originally posted by Victor Von Doom

Won't put up a poll because it's too subjective.

Will throw out some names though (which I may or may not agree with)

The Beatles, Metallica, Tool, The Darkness, Faith No More, Radiohead, The Mars Volta, Nirvana, U2...

Or whoever.

The Beatles- Major influence on rock in general. Not deserving of the title of greatest band ever though. Their talent just doesn't allow it.

Metallica- Used to be great. Then they release Load. And Reload. And they kept releasing modern rock stuff instead of the metal that they were. The ultimate case of fan betrayal

Tool- Only because the kiddies think Maynard is so mysterious. Amazing band, but they get all this attention because they're so reclusive. Not very deserving of the overrated title though, because they're so good.

The Darkness- No comment. Haven't heard enough of them

Faith No More- Anyone who thinks these guys are overrated can go to hell. Faith No More are too damn good to be called overrated.

Radiohead- Not much to say on them. They're good, but I wouldn't consider them overrated.

Mars Volta- No comment. I personally really dislike these guys. I'll just leave it at that.

Nirvana- VERY overrated. 'Specially Kurt. Kurt's an average guitarist and singer. Decent musician but not deserving of his title of greatness.

U2- I'll just say the new album sucks and be done with it.

That post confused the shite out of me. You seemed to name bands that aren't overrated...

Victor was just naming names that people here might drop. I'm sure he doesn't think half of those are overrated.

For me, Pink Floyd are very overrated. Not sure if I said them.

-AC

AC NIN arent overrated to me though, but im a little biased cuz i like all their stuff.

Also yeah Pink Floyd are really overrated...

In regard to The Beatles, any band being called the "Greatest Ever" is probally overrated. Its too subjective of a title.

Overrated isn't based on 'your rating' versus the 'overall rating' though.

It's overall rating versus deserved rating.

What is deserved is obviously the main element of discussion here.

I'm only stating the reasons why one can find them overrated. Problem with that?

I think the Only strike against Trent is that he seems to get writers block alot...and is slow to put out albums..
and yeah I said some folks do think too highly of NIN. They are one of my favorite bands, but I know they are hyped up by some folks..

Originally posted by TheStormrider

No problem, just quite irrelevant. Obviously not to you though, so fine.

As for Trent, I'd consider the piece of garbage album he just put out to be quite a strike. I'd consider him selling out to be quite a strike.

-AC

hmm maybe so...I was afraid that album was bad, so I havent heard it yet...oh well, I guess I'll spend that money on Get Behind Me Satan..havent got that one yet either, but I like Blue Orchid.

yes I'm a little behind on Cds! lol

Very good idea.

heh..i agree..y do people think tool are overrated..they r a sic band!

metallica? fan betrayal? they produced metal for so many years.... but the betrayal, if there was actually opne, was when the black album came out. the songs were shorter and radio friendly. if they were a sell out band like many say, then why create something different in load and reload? and, if the first one was so slammed then why release the second anyway? simply because its what they wanted to release, its the period of music inspiration they were going through and wanted to produce something different to their earlier metal. i can see how fans of their earlier albums think they've been betrayed because they dont like the more experimental stuff, as metal fans do tend to like just metal and not have such an open mind. why do fans have to criticise musicians for newer material? cant you all just enjkoy the early stuff you did like and perhaps be intelligent enough to go out and find new music to listen to? i mean, perhaps metallica were bored of the other bands who were starting to sound like them, and wanted to try something different because of that.

thats my opinion

Metallica didn't sell out. The only people who think they did are generally kids who don't know anything.

To answer the threads title question.Nirvana.Everybody says there the best band ever.Mostly people who have heard zit of their songs.They are over hyped because of Kurst death (What a marketing genius )
I mean the guy has T shirts that say Kurt Cobain instead of Nirvana...And Nirvana are not even the best Grunge band ever...

I don't think Avenged is even close to overrated. I only know of myself and one other person who knows who they are (excluding KMC).

You two ever thought aboot getting a Comedy Show going...you really are Hilarious...no seriously.....and this happens in every thread you post together.......I'd watch it....

Did I ever answer the Question yet...hmm...

I think Nirvana are overrated....Reasons were given enough....

Green Day are overrated because....well to any people thing they are great..whiole they are nothing special at all....probably not even average...

Elvis is indeed overrated too....mhis Music isw a not that great and b as said before not even the best in it'S genre (Not that I don't like some of his songs)

The Beatles are overrated at least by some people that call them the best band in the world (actually I didn't meet that many of them)

Oasis are overated..not only because they get compared with the Beatles but also because their Music is nothing Special...maybe a little more Special than Green Day but that'S it

U2 are overrated although they have some really good songs and all there is or at least was a hype aboot them that they don't deserve...

Not to forget that every Mainstream Rap, Pop, Rock Pop band is very...very...VERY overrated....

Hm...yes aboot that.

Rolling Stones-ugggh

Pink Floyd-I would probably like them more if druggies would stop saying they are the best band in the world

Grateful dead-same thing

The beatles-they have some alright stuff here in there, they were definitley a talented group of kids. But all of these old foggies keep saying they are the greates rock band in the world.

Back then people were music starved. If someone in your neighborhood, or town for that matter, had a guitar it was like "whoa!"


People only ate what they were fed

if you would like a band more if 'druggies' say they are the best band in the world, then you like bands for the wrong reason. it shouldnt matter what other people think. let them have their opinions of course, but like a band because you like them. dont let anyone else change your opinion.

also picasso, monet and constable are overrated artists.

No....they like music for the wrong reasons.

I never liked pink floyd.

I like music I like for all the right reasons. I'm a musician. I here things in pink floyd that like, but not enough to really get into them.

I don't think suck at musicians at all.

I mainly can't get into Pink Floyd because denver radio plays them constantly, the same with everyone else.

OH, and add disturbed and Godsmack to my list

They're one of my fave bands, but I'd have to say Nirvana.

Well, I'm now starting to think, if EVERYONE says they are overrated, they can't be that overrated.

Chris Martin from Coldplay.
And Pete Doherty...

Guns n Roses are overrated, only produced one truely great album, which wasnt exactly anything new, just came at the right time.

Metallica are overrated muscisians (note, not songwriters)

I totaly agree with coldplay. I can't stand em

50 cent is up there, i dont know if it counts if hes the only one that thinks hes dope

Any rating is overrating as far as Pete Doherty is concerned.

like four great albums

James Hetfield is far from overrated. The man is one of, if not THE best rhythm guitarist ever.

Why do you think Disturbed is overrated? I love their music and David Draiman is awesome. I just got their newest cd and it rocks. If anyone is overrated it's Brittany Spears and all those bubblegum pop groups. They need to be kicked off the planet.

David Draiman needs to stop that "Oooh wah ah ah ah".

How does that make them overrated though? Just curious.

I don't think that the band Disturbed is overrated. Nobody has really followed them since their debue album because everybody hated the 2nd one. This is in generalization mind you since I myself liked the 2nd album, but most people didn't. So if anything, I could see how it is possible to claim that their 1st album was overrated, but I liked it.

I dunno, how does it?

I don't think they are overrated at all, but that is just my opinion. I just got 10,000 fists and it is great. I like all their cds. But I know not everyone likes them and that is their opinion. I just wanted to add mine to this topic.

Hetfield is indeed not overrated, was mainly talking about Hammett and Ulrich.

I would have to say: Coldplay! I mean why do people think that they are rock! they are just pop; 50 cent,mariah cary, the BEP, shawn desomd,sean paul,massari and basically everyone connected with rap, hiphop, or R&B, Espically 50 cent and his entourage

Stupid claim. Not all hip hop is like that, and there's no such thing as "rap" as a genre. Rap is something hip hop MC's do.

Coldplay are so overrated it makes me sick.

indeed...at the gym today and some dire music channel was showing the Q awards and the guy refered to coldplay as "the best band on the planet today" and i nearly dropped a dumbell on my foot

want to clarify my last post! i dont hate all hip-hop just the mainstream commercilsed stuff, and thats the reason for me anyways that i dont like that kind of music, cause it is sooooo comercial and like so many people in that genre are sell-outs
