40ozKid made the thread about the most underated bands, and while reading it, I got the idea to make a thread about the oppposite. so what do you think the most overated bands are?
I'd have to say rolling stones.
Black eyed peas because they suck so much. Their lyrics suck, and they don't deserve a record deal. The smae goes to all those crappy pop groups(N sync and back street boys...they all suck)
i cant take him[liam downey] seriously cuz his name reminds me of that downy bear from back when i was a kid -d loc
Imagine the ns outcry if u(lateralis) were banned. There would be countless threads and petitions to bring u back, it would be like when treadway got banned from whistler. Someone would probably make and sell 'Free Lateralis' stickers and shit. -j

give up? i made my argument. and beyond my opinion which may differ from the majority but that tends to happen a lot--- the beatles are easily outplayed/written by endless musicians of their time and now. and that's just a fact. denying that would make you musically ignorant. and that's the basis my opinion. the ennnnnd

give some examples of your imginary bands with better written material, more influentual to most other modern bands, and just apparently better.
you got shit. everything you can say are just as disputable as the beatles. actually less. more people think the beatles were the greatest band than the ammount of people you could get to say that for any other band you're thinking of.

The Beatles wrote more great songs than anybody, therefore it's impossible for them to be overrated

Dave Matthews band. If you just take a minute and listen to their songs, the lyrics are shit because it's some guy who can hardly say a word, nevermind with the music. And My Chemical Romance because they are just a bunch of whining, song butchering, tight pant wearing pussies.

No I'm talking about the 2 disc set Led Zepelin. The Song Remains the Same isn't nearly as good as this.

And for most overrated I'd have to say Dave Matthews, he's decent, but regarded as a god in all the rich white towns like mine

Yes I am actually serious, I personally hate the rolling stones as a band. Also other bands like the animals, mandred mann's earth band, and the yardbirds suck. And to who ever said something about Sabbath, i don't really group them into the british invasion category. The British invasion was basically pop music not hard rock. But I still think that Black Sabbath sucks.

Yea Dave Matthews Band is incredibly boring. The lead singer's voice is awesomely annoying.

To the people bashing Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, The Beatles, etc. If these bands/artits are overrated, who in you opinion is better?

skogenjake you keep arguing that! why?! liking/thanking/respecting a band doesn't make them a better band. they're still the same band... if jim morrison jumped off a moving train i assume you would think that was a very good idea too?

i said the beatles. so you should say "if lennon jumped off of...".
and yes, if he was alive i probablly would...
sry i just havent had any NS arguments that dont consist of some kid freaking out about kicking my ass when i live 1000's of miles away. and i thought that defending the beatles as being an "overrated" band was worthy. they were really good. so i guess thats how im going to end it.

i think all those bands you listed are very good, but just cannot compare to the beatles. I like them all very much, but i think when you list those bands all it really comes down to is personal opinion, although if you are talking about talented musicians, well that may change the order around, but then again being a talented musician is completely different then being a talented song writer. By the way to thisangelicrage, you listen to some sweet music

all good bands, but do you seriously believe King Crimson, CSNY and Van Morrison are better than the beatles? i love van too, but cmon. astral weeks, moondance and.....not too much else. Tupelo Honey. Doesnt exactly compare to the Beatles in my mind, but to each his own.

Metallica may be overrated NOW but don't forget about the four INSANE albums they did before the Black Album.
No one with even a remote knowlege of the metal genre should deny that Metallica absolutely ruled and was greatly influential during their prime.
As for their recent albums, yes, they are horrendous. They got old, they lost their edge. They express their feelings in some psyciatrist's office now instead of unleasing their fury in the studio and on stage, which is not a good thing for a metal band.
So: overrated now? YES. Overrated in 1989? Fuck no!

Oh yeah, and how come no one, except Lauren, responded to my question about 10 posts up?

Whoecer said Zeppelin sucks live doesnt appreciate music. Page has the most amazing solos and they are amazing live. Just watch the live release or some bootlegs and you wil hear them tear it up on stage
