Re: Most overrated artist?

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.

1. He's ocnsidred teh best mc, when there are 1,000's of better mc's out there

3. 90% of his fans are ignorant assholes.
4. His death made him even greater than he actually was

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

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.

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

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.

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
